[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 633726, member: 34925"] Ornery cuss. He was 26 years old with teeth worn below the gums and someone took a pot shot at him in August or early September. Unable to chew, but starving at 396#, he took to raiding cabins for sustenance. His foraging spiral was decreasing exponentially; when I shot him in the cabin he was in the village. At that time there were but 25 persons in Bettles and Evansville; there's less than that today. Sooner or later he'd a bumped into someone and it wouldn't have been pretty so that Thanksgiving day around 30 below at 11:30AM I shot him. He did depart with a growl and I think in bearspeak it was a desperate thank you... His skull measured out at 24 1/8 making him B&C eligible. The Discovery Channel ran an account of this in [I]Alaska Most Extreme [/I]which debuted April 16, 2009. Here's a photo right after the event. The other is Mitts with his skull completed... he took to raiding cabins and no doubt was in agony with that football sized ankle --the wound. [/QUOTE]
