I think that people don’t understand that humans are also creatures in this world. Hunting has been natural in the entire history of humanity, it’s still natural. We’re part of nature as much as animals. They hunt to survive, so do we. If you don’t feel comfortable, fine, you can think that’s not just. But if you expect nature to be just, well, I have bad news for you... it has never been, it is not and it’ll never be just. This is what it is, reality. Get used to it.
You are correct. Humans are a part of nature. Well said.
You don’t need a bear skin rug to survive lel.
No I don’t, but what if I want to? It’s still the role of a man in the food chain.
Again we are also part of nature, and like it or not, we dominate it.
I mean, if you want to preach about the “role of man in the food chain”, then at least know what you’re talking about. Humans are not apex predators. They’re not even predators. If it weren’t for all the weapons that cowards hide behind, we’d be nothing more than food. But go ahead, go take on a lion or a tiger without a weapon. Show me who’s the top of the food chain. Lmao.
Hunting for food is fine, whatever, that’s true survival. Those are real hunters. I’m not against it in any way.
As for trophy hunting, you’re nothing more than a baby back bitch. That’s all there is to it. Never were, and never will be true hunters.
And don’t even bring up the whole “managing the population” bullshit card that all you wannabe “hunters” like to pull. If populations need managing, and the ecosystem needs to be saved and maintained, then we ought to legalize murder, as after all, humans are the most over populated animal and are destroying the environment.
If it weren’t for all those weapons those “cowards” hide behind, hardly we would even be here. How do you think they hunted throughout history? With flower, talking kindly to the animals or with spears and axes?
The weapons are the proof of our higher intellect(that is what I was talking about when I said that we dominate nature).
Our unique abilities make the Homo sapiens superior, we’re not stronger than most of those creatures, but we’re smart enough to create weapons that could destroy all the species on earth(even our own lol) if you don’t think that’s superiority, well... then I don’t know what it is.
If you think hunters are stupid only because they like doing that, again, that’s fine. But as I said, evolution gave us the intellectual superiority to play with nature, we’re only enjoying it.
BTW, I don’t even like hunting, never hunted before, and hardly will... It’s just that I know those guys respect what they hunt. And I hate when people say that whatever humans do it’s invading animals space, where do we belong then? That’s my point, this is our home as much as theirs.
I’m starting to be repetitive ;)
For those who want insight into the WHY:
1. Scientists/Biologists closely keep track of the ecology and BALANCE in the area
2. They sell tags for hunters to hunt specific animals on very strict terms
3. The purpose is to raise money to fund back into the ecosystem, while balancing populations for a healthy and sustainable wildlife
If one animal becomes too populated it can really mess up the balance in a certain area. This system maintains that balance. It is backed by biologists who understand the ecology, and hunters who also want to give back by paying for these tags.
It took me a few years to really understand this. These people can't just get up and go hunting for bears. They must follow a very strict guideline. There is poor-ethical hunting in the world, but that is slowly diminishing because of the bad effects it has. This is the opposite of that.
I understand hunting and how it works but I will never understand how cowardly human beings are. This is an animal that, without a gun, could end your life in 5.8 seconds. One that you would never not carry a weapon when in their territory. But yet, these cowards go out and kill them for 'sport', because we have weapons. It's not to control population, nature does that all by itself, and has for millions and millions of years. Humans don't need to control the ecosystem. Hunting for food is one thing, hunting for thrills is another. I desperately hope on the next hunt his gun malfunctions and he gets mauled by the bear he's trying to kill!! We'll see how brave he is then.
@@T-Will-4554 Agree
@@T-Will-4554 no we will continue to regulate populations for several reasons. one is that it can be our fault mooses walk into bear territory bcuz of construction etc. and some speciec will go extinct if we dont help them.
@@T-Will-4554 imagine not liking hunting yet watching a hunting video💀
@@T-Will-4554 hunting is not a video game challenge -__-....hunting is life or death. Stop crying about "playing fair".
My father was killed by a brown bear hunting. RIP dad. Love u forever
im sorry for you
Hey,bear got to eat too!He loved your dad...……………...with a side order of blueberries!
NUFF SAID
Don’t say that stuff your acting like a douche.
@@MrRukiddin you people are disgusting
Sebastian Lol that douchebag liked his own comment.
My uncle did teach me hunting. He told me, never kill an animal for fun, you have to give respect to nature. He brought me to hunting.
This is a great video. Thank you for showing me that beautyful place. Alaska is my biggest dream.
One day i want to go to Alaska and i will go hunting a bear, caribu or moose.
Right on and good luck when you make it to Alaska.
Ahhh YOU RE A MORON !!! AND NOTHING ANDERSTOOD FROM LIFE
Pest Hizid how is this not for fun??
Your uncle told you never to kill a animal for fun, that’s what this bear was shot for fun.
loke senpai I think he meant purely for fun. This was a conservation hunt in order to preserve the moose population in the area
This was sick video, amazing editing and the music added to that too, also thats such beautiful rifle
Nir Patel thanks man! Appreciate it.
and that youtube lets upload these things, and for the rest it puts restrictions. we have to report this
Great seeing the comparison between him and the bears head...it really clearly shows how giant these things are.
I thoroughly enjoyed this bear hunt video. Thank you for the chance to come with you.
Thanks for the video and also for taking one of our bears, their numbers have really swollen over the last 10 years and they need to be reduced. Many people don't realize that big boar bears are the number 1 killer of bears.
a wonderful video. the scenery is amazing, the guide and yourself patient and quiet. And an excellent hunt to finish it off! Fantastic video
Khaleb Smith thank you. Appreciate the positive comment!
Even as an avid outdoorsman, gun owner, trapper and hunter, I can understand the raw emotion behind people who say it's wrong to hunt bears and some other animals, because they are so majestic. BUT with that said, I also have the intelligence that the anti-hunters don't have, and that is backed by studies done by the real conservationists who understand that a predator without a predator will destroy every other animal in the forrest, and will overpopulate which then leads to disease and illness in that animal.
Maybe not a perfect example, but still a rather extreme case is in the Everglades where the Burmese Python (which is an invasive species) has literally destroyed most of the animal population because it has no predator to challenge it and keep it in check. Hunters have been given authority to kill them on sight, and are being depended on to save the animal populations in the Everglades. This will probably be unsuccessful since a single Burmese Python lays almost 100 eggs and is totally out of control. The B. Python truly is a majestic creature, and I say that as someone who used to own one, and I still own several snakes as pets. But I fully support the hunting of them where they are causing an imbalance in nature.
The point being, hunters are used by real conservationists who keep data on animal populations to control and help nature thrive. Long before a species is in jeopardy, hunting of that animal will be suspended and the predators killing it can then be hunted to help balance it out.
Jonathan G well said, Jonathan.
Jonathan G Trapper? Me too. 😉😎😆
Well said. Before you gave your example of a species out of control I was thinking of the Burmese Python in Florida. Totally out of control and what a waste of the other species. Thanks for bring this up.
The only problem here is we all know bear population is not very high tho
Josh Clark It's high enough to hunt or it wouldn't be allowed.
Just watched ol Clay on JRE. Truly a legend in the making...
I find it funny that first of all people who are against hunting or at least against hunting bears are watching this video and complaining about it when it was their choice to click and watch it. And second of all that he explained the purpose of the hunt very well and how important it really is and yet people are commenting shit about it.
Right?! Simply scroll on bye...
@@marksanford3907 It's a simple concept to grasp. But they'd rather watch a video they dislike to attack the people in it.
Exactly!
It's useful though, it helps us spot the idiots amongst us.
@@melissazietz1241 There's an easier way to to that. Just look in the mirror :)
Don't know how i got here, never seen one, probably never gonna see one, but it was an amazing video 😂🙏
Dude...the best hunting video on TH-cam!!! 🔥💯👊
Tearing up mayne....this flick is so motivational and inspirational!!! 😭😍🙃😁🤗🏹🔫💨🏞🌳
Jorge Kalkman thanks Jorge.
I feel like hunters are more concerned with conservation then non hunters are, hunters want to conserve the population so that their generations can experience what they do.
Hunting-minded people are the ones who for the last 150 years have saved wildlife in North America through game-law protection, habitat protection and self-imposed taxes to benefit conservation (Pittman-Robertson Act). Thanks for the comment!
Facts
@@bearhuntingmagazine Now there is trust in government. My dollars pay for conservation. Doesn't matter my motives. Do you go out and preserve the millions of miles of wilderness, or do you just hunt the wildlife?
@@garywright9715 Who do you think pays for most of that conservation? Do you realize who the first people to start the conservation movement in America (and the rest of the world) were? They were hunters. And I've got a news flash for you, in the absence of private hunters, the government kills just as many if not more of these animals than hunters do. Just look at California for example. All the tree huggers in the cities who really have no idea about conservation complained when they considered allowing mountain lion hunts again, and they successfully blocked the courts from allowing cougar hunting in the state of California. The result? Tons of farmers began having their livestock killed by mountain lions, people's pets in suburbs started getting killed, and people hiking on trails started to be attacked again. So now, the government goes out and kills the mountain lions themselves. When the rangers can't keep up with the amount of the population that needs to be culled, they contract out to professional commercial hunters who are getting paid to do nothing but kill these animals, and oftentimes are not allowed to harvest any meat from their quarry.
So, what you're really saying is that you are okay with people getting paid to hunt wildlife, but you're not okay with people paying to hunt wildlife (which in turn gets donated to conservation efforts) and actually using the meat to feed themselves and their families. You're a hypocrite, just like many other self-proclaimed environmentalists who support practices that are extremely damaging to the ecosystem (like the ban on logging in the Pacific Northwest, but that's a whole other can of worms).
@@coltonreeves6893 First of all I'm no environmentalist....I hate tree huggers as much as you. I made a short statement and you read every friggin left wing supposition into it. Who pays for most of the conservation? Eh the f'ing tax payers do. The govt actively hunt brown bear, cougars, moose, polar bears, tigers, lions, sharks, leopard seals,leopards, whales....No they don't. They manage wildlife and allow hunters to hunt. You think your dollars managed by bureaucrats put all that money into conservation? No! They enact laws and use the money how they see fit. And then you go on a rant about farmers loosing livestock...Really? Ever heard of the forestry? They are govt employees that are their to enforce federal and state laws. Cougars arn't the problem for farmers...Govt is!!!!! Amazing how you see 7 billion humans and a few thousand bears as an in balance for the human race. Alaska is a state of over 500,000 square miles with less than 1 person per square mile and yea we need to kill the bear. The bear feeds the ppl? You have any idea how silly and uneducated that sounds? When wildlife threatens us I'm all in for taking care of it. When it's ego driven ppl who can afford to pay the Govt for the privilege...Guess what? Kill to conserve is your creed. God created nature not you, and I think indulgence on our part is questionable at best. Hunters take, and their money they pay for the privilege is just their excuse to justify something they can't. When bears threaten your lively hood then I'll listen.
I don't think the cameraman was expecting that shot 😂 awesome hunt and great bear!
I was all in until you said "god's bigness inside of me" had to check the dictionary to make sure, all good, carry on sir.... nice vid.
The shot of a lifetime!
Something revived inside me.
As a proud human, I´m going back to hunt again.
Still gotta feel bad for poor Bear, he bad the time of his life, living happy, fed and healthy
get a job ...
Nice video, strong script & story. Excellent work!
With your skills & amazing video quality, Sound Effect and Editing, You should have at least 1 Million Subscribers.
Keep it up guys! I really hope I get to do what you guys are doing instead of buying my meat at a supermarket (which actually increases pollution). Someday I will earn my food the right way by hunting! Don't mind the haters, they don't even understand that hunters are the actual ones helping the world be greener and more beautiful.
This is the most perfect representation of hunting, only comparable with meat eater and nothing less. People who have never hunted but are thinking about it, watch this video and you will get a great preference to what the sport really is
@Timothy P Fitzmorris That’s probably why it is such good content
I have watched 2 of your videos now the Quality is amazing keep up the good work
Congratulations, beautiful video! Greetings from Italy
What song did they use at the beginning? Someone help me out
Hoped to hear more on the actual conservation side of things
hope the bears lear to kill and eating this faking people
@@lucianbga3356 lol they do know. This is called hunting snowflakes
You Guys need to watch PBS.
Hey man, sorry you've been getting so much hate. At least now when they come to challenge you you may educate them on the benefits of hunting and conservation.
Keep doing what you do.
Alyssa Hansen thank you. Appreciate it.
Nice job. I know hunters pay a lot to hunt animals. You are helping in conservation, but some people are ignorant and consider this only as a trophy hunt but in reality its more than that.
lolman x thanks for the comment. You’re exactly right.
"helps put god's bigness inside of me" I laughed xD
Same 😂
what??
Really enjoyed watching that
Nice rifle! I own a 1895 marlin gs chambered in 45-70 with a ported barrel that looks just like your rifle .. great video
You are a very good writer. That intro was great
For all the haters: The irony is I bet you live in a house, drive a car, go to work in some office building, buy groceries from some grocery store that gets its food from some farmland...You are going to sit here blaming hunters for culling the population of bears so that the animals they prey on thrive, while you yourself are enjoying the comforts of human development that pushed the animals to the brink anyway. I dare bet you've never even donated, spent time volunteering, or even dared to go out there to help these animals (If you do, kudos to you, but I would think you would understand more about how things work...). Meanwhile, these hunters pay $$$ (like $10,000+) to hunt them which does a lot more to support conservational efforts than some angry pro-animal life TH-cam comment. Get off your high horse and self-glorifying morals and open your eyes to see the bigger picture. If you don't like what you see, then move on and watch other videos.
Thanks for the support Yun Li.
Yun li nice response ni cursing no childish remarks awesome. I don’t hunt but love firearms and the way they work and saw prev vids on in Winchester .300s and this vid came up
you are the one who has problem with coments, if dont like them, then move on an watch other coments. btw hunters are wildlife haters.
I never understand when people get mad at hunting (sometimes at killing insects), yet theyre fine with mass murdering of pigs and cows and eat their flesh with no remorse
Hunters go hunting for only one single reason. For their pleasure. It is a myth that they have to protect moose or elk or others. The co-existance worked for tons of years. Hunters simply don't like predators. This is why they are killing them.
i've studied ecology and hunting in general, and for the haters if you actually watch the video you see how they explain the moose and bear population balance. The bears are doing fine and there isn't a need for worry with controlled hunting!
Si_14 thanks for the comment.
The university where you studied, the books and teachers... they are all wrong.
Alfonso Farfán just because you don’t agree with it, doesn’t mean it’s bs
so if it is to control the population, we need to grab our guns against humans becouse the population of the human is increasing rapidly, we human got some qualities that any other animal dont, that is humanity. USE IT
channa sandeepa isn’t that called war?
Wow! Great video!
😂 I had my headphones all the way up because it was quit. The gunshot was so loud. 😆
Yes, audio on headphones isn't great on some of our older videos. We're getting better in our production. Thanks
What did you expected .457 magnum shot to sound like I wonder? )
Is that a Marlin? Looks beautiful!
Great video! Congrats!
I’m in Anchorage and appreciate what you said about hunting in AK. It is a safari to get away from the road, deal with all the factors you mentioned.
I’m running my first bait this spring. I have a black bear from Prince William Sound and hope for a grizzly.
What a pucker factor following that blood trail.
Dan Mitchell right on, Dan. Good luck man. Check out our other bear videos on Alaska!
Good luck in AK and be safe.
Wow that a real nice bear. Huge. Enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks, DON.
Wow. That is not a trophy game. It’s a monster. Such a giant brown bear.
Always wanted to hunt and fish in alaska that place looks beautiful
Hardcoregamerkid it was beautiful!
I felt like I was on the glorious journey with you. The passion, the story telling, the cinematography...all so so well-done. You are an true Renaissance Man sir. Thank you for sharing with us.
How many clicks up on your custom turret did you use to make that 20yd shot ?
That rifle and setup is Flippin sweet! Reminds me of old school hunters and the lever action 30/30 my grandpa hunted with, then my dad and now is in my name. Still shoots true! Gorgeous bear. Congrats!
Now give it to me
What an amazing trip. Most people don't realize the work involved cost etc. Great job! Hunters are nature's largest group of conservationist.
Right on! Thank you!
Covid was a pretty good conservationist
The production level of this video is amazing! Job well done.
Great video!
This is amazing
People who disliked this video didn't know that all of *our* ancestor working hard to fed their family to eat 3 times a day by hunting, without that survival technique we wouldn't have been born in this world, stay strong hunters!
Government should prosecute such people who for shit does such
At least learn how to speak english before making ignorant comments. The population is well accounted for when giving out tags and it raises a ton of money for the state.
What rifle was that you were putting a scope on and hunting with?
I dont hunt but i do like to watch bear huntin its relaxing in a way
By far one of the most humble bear hunters ive ever seen. keep up the great work
When people say that it's cruel hunting bears, at least a bear got to live a nice long life in the wild. You're fine with eating animals raised for nothing but to be killed and have a horrible life. But these guys kill a certain amount of bears to keep the population in check because if there are too many bears all the other animals will go extinct. These bears were able to live a nice natural life and got a quick and humane death. If you eat meat and are opposed to hunting you are an absolute idiot. If bear populations went unchecked they would kill everything. Bears, especially brown/grizzly bears are not sweet cute animals, they would kill you without hesitation if it saw you in the woods. However I feel like most people complaining have never spent a day in the woods. Bear hunting and hunting in general is necessary and helps conserving all the natural wildlife in North America. And is much more humane and natural than factory farming. Get off your high horses. You anti-hunting people say how cruel hunters are even though we truly admire these animals and want them to be around forever. Banning hunting would do nothing but ruin the ecosystem.
@Tutti Frutti Was there a point in time when humans didn't hunt?
Tutti Frutti are they? No they are not.
@Tutti Frutti They call him Tutti Fruitti,He,s a nutty kind of guy.Every time a poor bear is killed ,oh how he love,s to cry.

Beautiful footage, you are a talented hunter
What kind of rifle were you using. The barrel seamed short and very fat. I knew it could not be a shot gun but that is what it looked like.
Awesome hunt man, way to go for explaining it to those who don’t understand what conservation means.
Seams to me that most the people negatively commenting have never hunted to put food on the table, or to preserve the source of that food- it’s not just about the trophy.
Get over yourselves- it’s all part of life.
Snowflakes have been watching a lot of Winnie the poo .
I agree with you
Lol no everyone agrees with taking out such a majestic animal. Just like some people are mad dog lovers but I hate them lol
@@everready2903 I agree, we are all different, but the snowflakes only see it their way and dont respect our way. Kind regards from South Africa.

Did you bait him? Saw a barrel sitting there in the middle of no where..
Imagine the bear comes back to life.. while on boat....
OMGOSH A ZOMBEAR
That would be funny to watch 😂 the bear be like I'm da captain know,😂😂
Kind of hard when it's body wasn't there, it was just the head and hide no body. If the entire bear would have been in the front of the boat, the boat front would be under water.

Thank you!
Saw you on Meat Eater. Was loving it! My two favorite hunting shows in one!! Felt like maybe you didn’t get a fair shake though. Loved seeing you on there either way. Keep up the great work. Thanks
What model and caliber is the beautiful rifle is that?
All you folks complaining should come up here and live in a place where there are no grocery stores. A place where taking a Moose means your family will eat for the next 8-9 months of winter and subzero temperatures. Then when you can’t get a Moose because the bears have been killing off all the calves and your family goes hungry I’ll bet you’ll be out hunting bears next. Born and raised Alaskan Native and I have seen how these animals decimate the Moose population first hand. They don’t eat everything they kill either. They will take out 3-4 a week and the the carcasses to rot.
The people your trying to explain the reasoning behind the harvest just don't get it. Yet they'll drive down to a grocery store buy all kinds of nasty looking meat. Just paying to have someone else kill it for them. Hunt on everyone!! 🍻
They don't need to kill moose, as they can stock up in their fridges meat readily available from grocery stores, to survive the winter months in remote areas.
Which part of no grocery stores do you not understand?
There are no groceries around, only PCs and internet for publishing on youtube.
@@alphonsozorro7952 That went right over your head, didn't it?
If they hunting for the bear fat and fur then it's ok. Because they're consuming it. But, killing for fun is bad.
@James Zachary how do you know?😏 I used to kill birds for fun when I was a kid.
Congrats!
I like it when there is no data to sight in your scope you just sighted in for 200 yards like the old days or 100 yards or whatever it is and you go out and you go hunting and you get your animal. I'm surprised you don't have GPS controlled Scopes now
What kind of rifle you got mate? Such a cool rifle though
roy sinaga .457 magnum made by Wild West Guns in Alaska. Thanks, bro.
Great video sorry for all this hate towards you this was a well edited video and I loved it keep up the good work and ignore salty vegans
Fool what's the use of this hunt? We are not even a part of ecosystem now. If humans disappeared right now everything that exists will be benefited by our disappearance. But we are pests & causing damage to entire world & are responsible for extinction of thousands of species. Trophy hunting is responsible for that. Once we were a part of balancing the ecosystem not now. We are entirely exploiting the nature. You look like a kid that knows nothing about animals & their impact on nature
Any idea what kinda rifle that is?
I already is planning my trip to harvest one for the pelt and meat. People won't agree with everything you do but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. None of the animal will be wasted from my hunt and hopefully I can go back for a Moose or Caribou hunt.
Glo Avenger good luck on your hunt. Hope you get one. Sounds like you’ve got the right mentality.
3:05 "it helps put God's Bigness inside of me" O.o
Yeah. That statement gave me pause. Especially after it came after his corporate sponsorship.
Think he meant to say “makes me appreciate God’s Majesty”
I was speechless for a second too even though he was talking about something serious

what an awesome hunt and bear
Nice shot! More info on gun & ammo please
10:52 bear looks happy
i don't even hunt but this was an interesting video! good job👍🏼
Carlile thank you! Appreciate the open mind. Hunter’s really are the good guys.
Bear Hunting Magazine yes sir!
Song at start of video?
best part about gun videos is no ads
That thing is FREAKING HUGE!!! Nice hunt 👍👍
Scientific wildlife management calls for taking out a certain number of bears each year to help vulnerable populations of moose and caribou calves. Brown and black bear are thriving in Alaska! The people that want them the thrive, the Alaska Game and Fish, say that for the ecosystem to remain balanced we NEED to take out more bears through hunting. Thanks for the positive comments.
We don't need to "take out" anything unless you have to. A bear doing it's thing is shot and killed without a chance to defend and you cite the bear population. Why do you hunt bear ? For what? To put in your log cabin saying im tough because i stalked and killed a bear. Keep the guns clean. We wouldn't want a gun jam with a charging pissed off bear.
Its funny how the owner of this video says the government needs these bears to be killed to keep moose and elk populations healthy. But then you look at the lower states, wolves and mountain lion and other big game hunters have been decimated and yet the deer run amok. Also its odd when you look at nearly every study of bears of all kinds except polar bears, they mostly subsist on foraging small game, berries, and carrion.....rarely if ever do they hunt and kill moose or elk. If you think the federal game commision and the people selling those tags are immune to ignorance and greed I have some swamp land to sell you, just look at the ignorance at the very top like Trump and everyone else in the GOP. The most popular hunt in these areas is a bear and MOOSE combo hunt, he even says this in the video at 1:40 , how dare you say this is for moose conservation. Just google do brown bears hunt moose, the answer is a flat fucking no, they wouldnt take the risk, and if you try to say they only eat young, try eating the young moose when its constantly guarded until nearly full grown by an angry mother with horns capable of ripping car doors to shreds!!! And they advertise that it takes no skill, you sit in a boat for most of it while being served food and drinks, and they list even somebody who is need of bypass surgery and cant walk 100 feet is able to kill a bear. Jesus fucking christ you god damn lying, cowardly, horrible people, I hope a bear catches you and eats your fucking throat out while you cry for help.
Also, I'm far from a vegan that is against hunting. Go hunt some deer that are running amok thanks to humans, go hunt some gators if you want to hunt a predator, but stay the fuck outta the one area we havnt fucked up in northern North America. Go fish in the amazon, go hunt a water buffalo for all i care. But hunt responsibly, don't believe everything you hear. Ask one top ranger in the Alaskan wilderness if he hasn't seen a decrease in remote bear populations. An increase in bears encroaching on human camps is because of increased human presence, not because of increased population of bears!!!!
Hey buddy, I hear where you're coming from. You've got a right to an opinion, but you opinion doesn't line up with some facts. We aren't looking to win any conservation awards for our bear hunting, but your science is off. Brown bears are SERIOUS moose calf predators (go look at the research). They are trying to reduce brown bear populations in some areas (this was one of them).
Here is a quote from the Alaska Game and Fish Website: "“Fewer than 10 percent of the calves are surviving to five months old,” Crouse said. “There are a lot of calves being born. They’re just not surviving very long.”
Recruitment is barely keeping up with the death rate of older animals, he noted. “The low density population appears to be due to predation,” Kavalok concluded. “Habitat is not limiting at all in the area. Everything is pointing towards predators.” (www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=266)
