Martin, this 'news' has been floating around sometime. It is hardly a record bear and the story has been debunked. For one thing, unloading several 7MM magnum rounds at close range into the skull would hardly leave much to photograph, let alone prepare for trophy mounting. A 7mm for deer will be a 139-154 grain bullet, hardly sufficient at any velocity to break a bear charge. You would need minimum, the 174 grain roundnose. This sort of sensationalism angers me. It just adds to the 'killer bear' drooling saliva image that sells magazines, 7Mm BARs and the relentless pushing of bears to extinction.
