      And then pound for pound they're even more powerful. You take the strongest toughest 350 lb man vs a 300 lb bear or lion or tiger and even without teeth and claws the animal treats the bigger man like a rag doll. I'll see if I can find the video: There's a "Montana bear guy" who has a pet 400 lb grizz. He takes it out and has it flip 800 lb boulders like they're nothing.

      No surprise, tent cities are popping up or growing like weeds in most democratic run larger cities and its only gonna get worse in the coming years with the Biden administration not securing the southern border and people from all over the world freely walking into the USA now. 20K-30K illegal immigrants enter this country every single week since Biden took over, stopped the wall/tore it down and allows all illegal immigrants into this country. Oh and the 20k to 30k is just the ones that get processed, there are several thousand others every week that enter and are never caught/processed and move around the country freely and nobody knows who they are or what they are capable of. Yes most illegals are good people looking for a better life but the country just can't sustain have hundreds of thousands coming into the country every few months, a lot of them eventually end up on the streets and these tent cities in Seattle, Portland, LA and area NY etc the bigger Dem run cities were the leadership there allows this to happen

      I don't understand why everything gets barberized with bullets. Even if it's a perfect bullet placement (which don't happen very often) , as long as it's still standing its "shoot um again!". Then everything gets shot in the front quarter, hind quarter, paw, belly and ass. The quality of the videos are nice to watch, but the quality of shooting is cringe worthy.

      There is no way to know if it was necessary. It was much too soon in my opinion. There isn't one second between the two shots. Almost like a "preemptive shot". A back up shot shouldn't be so quick unless there is the danger of a charge. It's quite clear that no one likes to follow a wounded bear in the alders and the guide is the one who has to find the bear..I'll put that shot on his experience in similar circumstances.

      A boar kills the cubs, which throws the sow into heat, one reason trophy boar hunting actually causes more bears in an area , as far as I know they seldom kill the sows.

      Yup. The guide will often shoot also. I think they are under law to track any wounded bears into the brush if needed. So it's a judgment call for each situation I'd imagine. In this situation, the bear can disappear instantly and make it extremely hairy right now. Or be on you in a few heartbeats at 60 yards . So yeah, they both shot I believe. And that's totally legal and the right thing to do.
      The hunter needs to be ready to put their false pride away in these situations. If it was wide open country and a longer shot with plenty of time for follow up shots , then I bet Billy holds off a bit to wait a see.

    "Ryan's got the hide, Paco's got the skull and all the other miscellaneous gear". Goes on to show only 2 guys with full backpacks, one of which was already explained to only have the hide in it.
    So your telling me on that 10ft bear that weighs somewhere around 1000 lbs-1500 lbs with about 50-55% harvestable meat on it that you left somewhere around 500-750 lbs of meat on the ground? Im all for hunting and I understand trophy hunting but cmon man. That much meat on such an amazing animal and after 7 stays of stalking and all you take is hide? I hope the rug was worth it cause you left a hell of alot of bear stew meat and sausages on the ground.
