Raising the Bar: Bowhunting Giant Alaskan Brown Bear

- Bowhunting Giant Alaskan Brown Bear.
Pursuing the world’s largest land predator with a bow is quite possibly the pinnacle of big game hunting in North America. Few get the opportunity and even fewer are successful. Giant Brown bears taken cleanly with an arrow are rare. One trip to the unforgiving Alaskan Peninsula is usually enough to satisfy the thirst for adventure, bad weather, and isolation. Very few hunters ever return for a second go around.
Go along with Brendan Burns and Lance Kronberger to the Alaskan Peninsula as they battle the elements and a ticking clock in pursuit a singular goal. - กีฬา
So you hunt an inedible animal thats precious for the region for what exactly?
My MAN! I cant tell you how many times I have watched that video from 2018. But I know I’ve told at least twice that many people that they have to watch it. It is my ultimate dream to go get one of those brown bears. I will will probably watch this video just as many times. I look forward to the one in 2026
It would be pretty funny if they got caught off guard and charged by a bull and viciously shredded and mauled to death.
Hope so I stand for equality 😂
Truly epic. Best line, “We’re in the process of shooting the world’s shi!!iest brown bear hunt then this happens on day 15!” Thanks for sharing the highs and many lows that can come from true hunting.
Congrats, man. Stuff we dream about. Also, new drinking game: every time Brendan says great big bear, you take a shot. lol
I got alcohol poisoning playing this by myself.

What is that franken bowsight black gold with an option head?
Wooo congratulations awesome bear + the views 👍
I think I’ve seen every grizzly hunt on TH-cam. I was hype to see something new!!
Buenas noches desde argentina ciudad de mar del plata, están grandes para jugar a los soldados, inaseptable, danino, no tenes vergüenza,que dios te perdone pero yo no 😭🇦🇷
Shame on you. This is despicable.
weights?
Great video and hunt. The walk up is always live.
Awesome bear congratulations
What a bear! Congratulations . Beast!
Real brave hunters who has guys with a rifle as back up. Why don’t u go solo with a bow and bag a bear if u got balls.
That bear did everything right to become a king ,just to stand 0 chance against a hiding human
Bears don't become kings. Humans do.
Perseverance!!! Love it.
Nope it’s not the biggest land predator, that would be a polar bear.
what is that arrow at 2:15
incredible!
Amazing!
I love Alaska! A place where so many dreams come true, the best times of your life…..and completely miserable while doing it 😵💫😁😁 sign me up.
Great video gentlemen
Incredible Bear! Well done y’all
I wonder how many of those browns were taken with a traditional bow?
I hope you ate the bear?
Awesome video. Congrats!
Beautiful and majestic animal
Why did the bear need to die?
That's hunting
To manage their population.
I am always amazed at people who watch hunting videos to disparage them…Everything Dies son..thats a mute point. Living is the Goal..spend your energy doing that…the earth is like 5 billion years old…humans and All organic life are blips on the screen.
Anyone know what broadhead that was?
How do you get the bear out of there?!
🎉 Congrats! You earned that one.
Must have been the guides using the Barney's bags. There's a reason.
Serious question - what does a trip like this cost? Bear / Moose / Caribou etc
Depending on location and amount of people, minimum 8 grand. Since it was 15 days, I'd say this trip was 20 grand. That's why you try to get multiple tags filled in a hunt. That's unless someone else is paying the bills.
Good stuff, congratulations 💯
Only available to the wealthiest of wealthy. Lots of fun, but be sure to bring your suitcase full of cash.

Pointless trophy pish.
I don’t understand the pleasure of hunting a magnificent wild animal in its own habitat and taking it down so that it’s head can be mounted on a wall like it was some kind of an achievement..
Seems narcissistic and selfish to me
I think you are using those words to sound smart but you are not correctly informed.
It must make it a lot easier when you have 2 high powered rifles backing you up.
And your point is?
@@KCBarr1 you didn't miss it
Huuuge. Paws biggr than yer head. What did ya do with it?
Such a horrible way to die.. very unethical
I'll never understand the "kick" someone gets from killing a majestic animal like this.
If these guys were really so tough they would not have any firearms as backup. Make the hunt a fair one. Leave the guns behind. True test of what? ..that you were afraid to hunt a bear just with a bow? Pathetic. Anybody can try to kill a bear with whatever weapon such as spear, or a bowie knife but if they bring a high power rifle with them for protection then its just stupid posturing. A real skilled hunter should possess a real hunting skill and have such confidence in his/her skill that no additional weapon (firearm) would be needed. This video showed it wasn’t the case.
Lead by example. Public are looking...
Why you hunting those nice species when you have lot of things to eat, how would you feel if someone hunts your child
What ?
I prefer the bear alive
Don’t understand how killing a beautiful creature is worth a praise. Damn.
If you have to ask the question you wouldn't understand the answer.
In a time of this planet where massive land mammals are basically becoming wiped out, why are you feeling the need to kill them? what you are doing is basically ensuring that these beautiful creatures become extinct. Have you not learnt from what our ancestors have done and the species they've caused to go extinct? You could have quite easily followed this beast with cameras and enjoyed watching them live and how they live in their ecosystem. Alaska is virtually the last place on this overpopulated planet that they can exist. Be a man lay down your weapons and enjoy watching these creatures in their habitat. One day they will be gone forever so you can either stop now and actively protect them or be the cause of why they disappear for no future generations to see.
These are blood-thirsty sick people.
Nice to bad the world is on fire 🔥 at this moment. Burning up all the wild life and food. Think about it.
it looks like shooting fish in a barrel. what is the accual point of this. is the brown bear an introduced species and a pest to alaska....
No it's a trophy 👍👍👍😆😆😆😆
I prefer hunters that do it for food not because of their insecurities.
What makes you think he didn't eat it or are insecure. You sound like the insecure one.
"we'll take the king air to another airport", next scene they all pile into a Piper Navajo😆
لماذا هذا الأجرام..
مالفائدة؟
Taking pleasure in killing something for no justifiable reason. What a fool!!!
Congrats! I don't know how you guys hold it together. Bow in hand, last hours of the hunt after 15 days hard after it, AND you have this HUGE carnivore stand up in front of you less than 60 yards away, not knowing if your shot is going to make him run away or towards you. You got nerves of steel, my man!
Wtf what is the sense behind killing this animal? Just for fun or what.
Can I ask a few questions? I don't want to draw hate. I am not a vegan and I acknowledge the wild is a savage place. The life cycle is real and we (and other animals) eat meat. I am under no illusions surrounding where we get our food from. So I am not one of those guys.
But does this hunt serve a purpose beyond fun? Are the bears a nuisance or pose a problem that they need to be culled every now and again?
I would also like to ask about the specs on the bow. Brand, poundage, and arrow weight and speed with that arrow weight if possible ( I can calculate energy and momentum from that)
That is a big bear, and I know the shot has to be clean, but I just wanted to get a gauge on what kind of weapon you would need to take down a creature that big assuming you make a clean strike of course.
in some areas there is too many predators so taking a few will increase the population of other animals like deer or moose. But also in general in most places there is enough bears that yes you can just hunt them for enjoyment and a pretty massive carpet or whatever you want to do with the fur.
The Alaska Fish and Game set limits for all big game based on what they think will keep the predator/pray life in balance alongside the right for the native tribes and residents of Alaska that use these animals as a main source of food. Brown and black bears in particular like moose and caribou... a lot. I think it is between 40-60% of all caribou/moose calves die due to bears and wolves, so it is important to keep the predator population in check so that hunting does not tip the balance in either way.
That's the entire point of these hunts being available to those that don't live inside the state of Alaska.
@@TavernSideGuides Thanks mate. Appreciate the asnwer
“To only go one time would be a shame” unfortunately most of us will never have $20k to $30k to put down on a hunting trip. But, as someone who only owns Kuiu brand for hunting - I live vicariously through you.
I have hunted 6 bears. U dont need 20k lmao
Well you are either lying or don’t know what you’re talking about. The only way to get a Brown Bear Tag in Alaska is if you are an Alaskan resident (most are not) which means you have to buy a tag from an outfitter who all charge $15k to $25k I took the average of $20k it is the only place in America you can hunt brown bears. Otherwise you’re flying to Russia/Siberia and by the time you get through travel expenses, guides license you’re looking at similar prices so nice try dude try to blow smoke up someone else’s A
20-30k for a bear hunt? What are you hunting a gold-plated bear? The most expensive thing is food and toilet paper. I got 3 bears under my belt and i didn't spend much.
Oh really? Where did you get your bear tag? Just curious. What state do you live in?
Because unless you are an Alaskan Resident or have family that is an Alaskan resident you can’t get a bear tag genius unless you buy from an outfitter
Oh and for you geniuses that keep saying “I have killed 6 bears” did you forget the interesting little piece of info at the beginning of the video? “There has only been an estimated 350 brown bears killed with a bow in the last 70 years” that’s not because it’s just so easy and cheap to get a brown bear tag. Lying keyboard warriors
Amazing what money can buy
What’s the point man. He will be waiting when you cross over
Poor bear, damn.
The most expensive camo money can buy and a 🛑 sign of a white face with nothing covering up hands or face . I know it wasn’t real time filming but the guide or backup with the gun covered up the scope and then dropped his gun and then unloaded it with another bear in the area .Lol
why bears??? 😢
Why not?
anyone can do that. You don't need to be proud of it.👎
This video is insane on so many different levels. The mental fortitude and strength it takes to stick with it like you did in this video is insane!! Kuiu give this guy some free hunting shit!!! Amazing video. Great work. Also will you guide me next year??!! Please!! P.s. Kuiu storm star 2 person tent is the only way to go.
Wish I had 100k to spend every 4 years!
The bear only has its claws and teeth. Shouldn’t you face it with a knife then if you must insist on hunting it when it is not posing a problem or is a menace to the community.
That bear is minding its own business far away from anyone. Your actions are no different to someone breaking into your home and killing yoy.
Not very ethical.
Why do you kill this Bear??
For fun. He said in the video "To raise the bar".
A fifteen day hunt camping out in the cold and rain and hunting all day long is a challenge to any hunters determination to stick with the hunt to the last day, what a beautiful ending. To kill a deer at 50 yards is quite an achievement . Replace deer with Big Brown Bear and that kill was in a class of it's own. Nerves of steel and a skilled Bow Hunter pulled it off, what a hunt.
great video but what kind of music is this crap? Not one person I know would ever listen to this and especially not guys who hunt.
Polar bear is the world's largest land predator.
Kodiak bears tend to be slightly bigger than polar bears. They eat more protein than most bear species because of their specific diet of salmon
When all the big trophy bears are gone what then, he seemed to be a big strong healthy male looking to mate and in the blink of an eye its over. No way of telling if he was sick or old or unable to reproduce. Big game in Africa is nearly wiped out because of trophy hunting. Pity!!
I hope you're a vegan talking this gibberish.
That’s nerve racking with a bow on those giants. Especially when it knows where the shot came from.
Been looking into Kuiu camo for hunting. Also looked at Sitka for years although i think both are way over priced as many companies are in the field.
Not sure about Kuiu yet but it does seem Sitka has a good fit and more warmth with less weight than regular hunting clothes. Also like the camo patterns on Sitka and Kuiu.
Not going to lie i been just as successful with Walmart realtree/Mossy Oak camo clothes than with high end camo companies. These companies are turning hunting into a rich man game. These hunting Clothes are worth half of what they charge. $800 for a jacket lol…..gtfo. That jacket better come with a personal dragger for the animal i take for that price.
Biggest factor is the $$$$… if it wasn’t for these hunts being 20,000.00 - 30,000.00 a lot of people would go regularly.
for what reason are you going out there and kill such a beautiful and innocent animal???
Looooooser!
I’m all for hunting but hunting bears? That’s kinda fucked up. What’s the point? They are super smart and amazing creatures. Go hunt deer or elk or some shit. Leave the awesome majestic predators alone.
It's a disgrace to see someone who thinks he's a hero like cowardly ambush and kill a bear from a safe distance with a deceptive Quacking Duck. Such a huge, highly developed animal, important for this nature, torn from life for an ego thought. Everyone can draw a bow, and there are many cowardly men like you who only feel good for 2 months because they actually have personal problems
I give you credit with the bow hunt part but still sad :(
Did the guy with the back-up rifle REALLY put the scope cover on before they had proof that he was dead!?
Hot damn that was one beast of a bear.
Old Indian proverb - take life unnecessarily and life takes yours in return.
Usually it’s cancer.
It not unnecessary to take this life
99% of this video looked like old dudes at the executive branch trying to sale camouflage, bows n arrows n then send would be adventures to their absolutely horrific deaths!!!trying to hunt anything larger then a large dog. That bear was huge and would have killed them in a flash!!! Now let’s see the actual men who would do this!… I don’t believe theses dudes could bow hunt a sleeping horse!!
Disgusting to say the least ,,,, and what do you people do with the animals you kill ? take a photo ? ,,, the government that's involved in granting permits to allow trophy hunting are every bit as much to blame as the individuals killing these animals.
The entire animal gets used. Meat,fur and even the bones.
Don’t know much about conservation hunting do ya?
" Conservation hunting " ,,,, absolute bloody nonsense ,, where did you come up with that catchy expression ,,,,, @@GrimTactics6226
Hunting in America is a joke, it’s all pay to win, don’t even get me started on Tim Wells , meet him in NZ after he had hunted a fenced in farm full of deer, basically shooting fish in a barrel for 10k a head
If rules state can't hunt for 2 days are hunter's allowed to follow the bear without drawing on the bear .
Nice bear but Bear set the brown bear bow bar many decades ago : Inside 10 yards with a recurve. See what I did there with the alliteration?? seriously though ...nice hunt
Would be truly brave if they weren’t backed up by a guy with an elephant gun. Indigenous hunters were considered almost like a God if they took down a grizzly.
Only someone rich would make that comment its to bad money controls so much He is lucky that he can do this. His products that he sells are the most expensive on the market He might talk differentiator he wasn't well off
Fantastic hunt and a great bow shoot congrats 👏
Please tell me you ate that bear.
You guys are weak
Should try and Fred bear that hunt! Recurve style
Why? compounds are better.
That was epic !
Yep, city slicker hunt. Paid guide and all, top gear, sponsored, etc etc. You deserve no glory!
Once again always the last day on the last hours of the hunt to get a shot on target animal. Is there any hunting shows that doesn’t say it’s the last day when it finally happens .
That's a low percentage shot, but hey you can't make a shot you don't take.
Time to stop trophy hunting of any animal or fish
Sport or culling or what?
Think of all the little animals the bear killed. Food chain dum dum…
