this is video of a coastal bear hunt in alaska (crappy hunter) gets a brown bear takes him 2-3 shots
paintballdude902,
It is tough for me to remain "high road" when I read stuff like this. This guy is not a "crappy hunter". He killed that bear on the first shot the bear simply did as bears do when hit. Listen up guys, big game animals such as brown bear USUALLY do not go down on the first shot even if it is a fatal wound and a perfect shot as that was. Brown bears, cape buffalo, elephants and such are not fragile little critters like deer. They do not react to bullet "shock" at all and often do not even show a reaction to a fatal hit.
That first and second shot were perfect. Did anybody else notice that the first shot took that boar off of his feet and rolled him? That there is what we refer to in the hunting world as a clue.
bringing big firecrackers to throw at the charging bear would be a good idea.
MP7,
You need to stick to the internet and stay out of the wild. This advice might well save you life.
Interesting at the least, the hunter was a poor shot this time which caused a second shot which missed and that's when the sow locked in.
BFE,
He didn't miss either shot and both were perfect. What you saw was the bullet exiting the bear and hitting the water on the off side. Both times. That is to be expected when using a large powerful caliber with a well constructed bullet on brown bear at close range.
Also I think I would have fired a few guick shots over her head first or into the ground in front of her as soon has she made her intenstions known .
Ruger,
The guide is a master guide in the state of AK, he has been in that situation many times. He did EXACTLY what you are supposed to do when charged by a bear, get big wave your arms and shout. When that didn't work he resorted to his last ditch maneuver which was to keep himself and his clients safe his only choice at that point was to shoot the sow. He was cool as cucumber and did everything perfectly right. If she was scared of gun shots don't you think she would have run off when the initial gun fire occurred? When an animal locks on to you in a charge firing shot over their heads is simply a waste of precious and much needed ammunition. Sometimes ***** happens when hunting dangerous game.
I really do not understand what is so disturbing about this video. The only possible explanation is that we have a bunch of indoorsmen watching something they simply don't understand. Not only was that a brilliant piece of footage but the hunter and the guide handled it by the book, perfectly, legally, ethically and with extreme professionalism.
