Bear, 703 lbs, maybe A Record!

Well, I for one hear so much bout folks hunting bear & mtn. lions with dogs! Let the dogs run them till their up a tree, near a cliff edge, then shoot their prey from a safe distance while dogs hold them at bay! Hmm, thats real brave, ethical huh? Well, this man went 6ft INTO the cave and faced a 703 lb bear! Big cahoonie's & 1/2 crazy, Something I for one would not have done! And i have hunted bear, but never with dogs! Seems alot of self righteous critic's think he was wrong! So how about your opinion? I stated mine!
