He was 7’10” around the belly and 9’1” nose to tail."

It's quite sickening to see people doing this. Regardless , @GuateGojira , what are your thoughts regarding this specimen ? I guess this might be a new possible record.

Honestly I don't know if we can trust in these modern records, too many estimations and innacuracies, but I think that for a hunting record is ok.

Now, about the dimentions in the picture, certainly are exagerated by the effect of camera and pictures. Imagin a bear with a paw larger than its own head! It is rubbish how these hunters try to exagerate they kills to increase they own ego.

Yeah, I agree with you . So , the biggest kodiak specimen weighed from scientific records would be the 1350 lbs male from Troyer's study. Reply
