(CNN) Mature black bears can weigh up to 350 lbs., while brown bears can tip the scales at more than 1,000.

According to the state Department of Public Safety , the pair were hunting Saturday near Carter Lake south of Anchorage when they spied and shot a black bear on a ridge above them.

The injured animal rolled down the slope, dislodging rocks along the way, straight for the two men.
