It really pains me that such a magnificent creature was killed as a 'trophy'

That bothers me too. Poor bear. That makes me sad for the bear.

I agree. The snopes website said it wasn't nessacaryily(sp?)charging at them and he might not have detected them. So, possibly he never was attacking them. That upsets me. He didn't have to be killed.At least, they won't let them keep him.

I don't know. 10 yards away is not very far. If the bear didn't already see them he would have seen them soon. I think being in that position I would have shot the bear. A bear that size could cover ten yards pretty quickly. I wouldn't take my chances.

Huge bear, very impressive looking animal
