He was quite the story in hunting circles for years as he kept getting away with it. We all knew his day would come, and some poor bear who was simply tired of this idiot would pay for it. Real shame.

Surprised his family didn't try to sue the bear
I wuz in jackson hole one time in my 20's trying to pretend I liked southern comfort.
Some place called the million dollar saloon I think. They had saddles for bar stools.
They also had a grizz all stuffed and mounted standing up on his hind legs.
Never realized just how massive they were till I stood next to that thing.
The legend goes that a guy killed that griz by biting his neck.
Put me down as skeptical.
