Mike Moore with the Grizzly
From an article written by Rocky McElveen for the Alaska Daily News On August 10th, a possible world record grizzly was taken by Mike Moore, a retired MLB pitcher with Detroit and the Oakland A's. Russell Knight of Knights Taxidermy in Anchorage gave a rough but initial calibration of the grizzly's skull at 27 4/16 inches. The current record is 27 2/16 inches. The 60 day skull drying period will determine whether or not this bear will be the biggest in the world or somewhere in the top 10 largest grizzlies ever taken.
