Part of this story doesn't pass the smell test with me.  You're going down the road and smack into a 830 pound grizzly and you just keep on going until your radiator starts acting up...?

Well at least they are reporting the Grizz being hit by a large truck. When I first heard the story, the Grizz was supposedly hit by a guy riding a motorcycle.

Douglas thanks for posting that link to the real story... The pickup was outside of Linclon, but yes this story is now going around that some guy's cousin hit it on his motor cycle on top of Lolo Pass.  The bear was finally mounted by a local taxidermist in Linclon, Mt.

I also edit Pab1 post so that the video was veiwable from just our site here.
