Kodiak bears aren’t grizzlies. They are relatively non-aggressive.

The bear is in front of execution by firing squad.

Terrific hunt! When the fellow talked about Kodiak being unforgiving, he is not being dramatic. It can be, and it is often a very tough place. Congrats to these guys for the adventure and sharing it with us.

Something you can’t teach in hunting is poise . The ability to focus on what you are doing without allowing the emotions get in the way . Great shot man I appreciate you explaining your thought process and why you did what you did ! Thank you man Great hunt and Shot once again Thank You!!!

No doubt, only comes with experience. It was almost a eerie calm moment where everything was happening in slow motion prior to the shot. He was so close that when I aimed through the peep all I saw was brown fur. Had to open both eyes and confirm what I was looking at and where I was aiming. 😅

What an AMAZING shot… Many hunters dream of shots like that their entire lives.

The varmint call in to point blank range added a lot of entertainment value. Nice to see the guide NOT shoot the bear - I see threat happen way too often. Great hunt & trophy!

That had to be A MASSIVE adrenaline RUSH! WOW

Beautiful creature. The size of those paws are unreal

What an awesome hunt. Congrats. When the guide was saying shoot. shoot. shoot. i started tripping just watching lol

Amazing shot, fell him quick "An animal, is an animal. Even a maneater does not deserve to suffer"

At no point in my existence have I thought "Man, I sure wish a massive killer Kodiak would eek its way toward me in murder mode." Minimally, I'm sporting a grenade launcher.

It is fair to say that you have bigger balls than most!! Keeping yourself calm enough to pull that shot off is the sign of an awesome bowhunter!! Amazing footage!! Great work!!

Congratulations on your hunt! Great looking Bear and a big beauty.👍👍

What an incredible experience for you guys. Congratulations!

I'm subscribed to your channel so I don't know how I missed this video but that was intense! Great job keeping your composure when a brown bear is stalking you and closing the distance fast!

I had never seen this part of the islands with that browned-out foliage before. Has an eerie beauty to it. Also, what an incredible shot - that bear was in sprint/burst distance and could have closed in a second.

That was awesome! Brought back some scary memories. I lived on Kodiak back in 1984-1986. Had some close calls with bears in the antenna field at the Coast Guard transmitter site. Good on ya for putting that boar down quickly. 🍻

Congratulations that was a great shot and beautiful harvest!

Very well done. This is hunting people.

What a gorgeous bear!!! Truly amazing. Good job on the hunt.

That was intense!!!!!!!

Always impressed with the lethality of a properly placed razor sharp broadhead. Simply amazing and fast!

Wow!!!!! Dam that boar got close…… good shot!!!!

Now that is real hunting.

Nicely done men 👏 👌

Testicular fortitude at its finest! Great shot placement. Direct hit in the boiler room and then some👍

he has nothing to be nervous about he has nice coverage with a gun of a very good caliber and a curious animal that even does not try to revenge to its killer. I understand why it's necessary to reduce bear population but it's odd to see the guy to be so excited by this killing.

@@andreydolganin2974 your wrong . Even with the rifles , a bear can do a LOT of damage if shots miss the brain or spine at such close range it would be on you in a split second. And things would get seriously messy. Once it's on a man, it's risky and hard to get a killing shot into the bear without risk to the man getting chewed on. One bite to the neck or skull and your done. But he held it together very well!

I've had several bow techs and loved them.

Amazing, great patience, wonder what your heart rate was 👍🏻

What a shot!

Oh buddy that would have made me feel like I'm going to mess myself. But what an awesome shot man. Awesome video keep up the great work.

Nice I always have my 45/70 and 10mm when bow hunting in grizzly country

Good hunt. Congratulations.

Great video!!! I thought the shot was high right but I was definitely wrong!!! Please make more videos like this!

now that's badd ass, whew!!!!!

First let me say that was an awesome bear my brother. Being able to keep it together when the creature of that size is 12 yards from you is a testament to your intestinal fortitude and determination and harvesting the ultimate predator on Kodiak Island. I have to admit I had flashbacks of the day when I was red salmon fishing on a creek that fed into Volcano Bay that is west of Dutch Harbor Alaska back in the mid 80s when I was working for Trident seafoods commercial fishing processing salmon. Our floating processor was anchored in volcano Bay and we had gone ashore to stretch our legs and have a little fun fishing. I had just caught a nice red salmon and was turning around to put it on a stringer and I looked into the alders about 30 ft from me was a 700 to 800 lb sow watching me. I guess it was just an instant reflex because I really didn't know what to do so I threw the salmon at her and started screaming at the top of my lungs and thank God she turned and ran. Needless to say myself and my homeboys got our gear got back to the boat and went back to the processing barge. That was as close as I've ever been and yes that's close as I ever want to be because I didn't have a gun that day or anything to back me up that is if you don't count that loaded salmon that I threw at her. LOL

Jesus Christ 12 yards… great shot!!

Damn, nerves of steel! We head to Chichagof for brown bear (with a gun) I think 50 yards will be close enough 😂 Great footage

Very cool bow

That is crazy what a hunt congrats for sure. I would have been shitin for sure. That was in intense video 👍 great footage and video looking forward to seeing your next

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

My you know what hole would of been puckering. Intense footage!

Wow!!!close!

Thank the Good LORD!!! That was awesome

Hell of a shot

Very nice bear and shot.

😮 no words.

I'm gonna stand on the nighbourhood roof..wait for you to go shopping,..than go yayyy i'm amazing!!!:)

Awesome Job Fellas, that was a once in a lifetime shot, right through the chest, if you shoot a bear with a gun sometimes they can still charge, but almost every Animal. Bears too, Once they feel the Power of The Arrow, they want no part of it and quickly run away.

So much respect seeing you use a bow instead of a rifle

I bet that was a pucker factor of 10!

Trailing my last black bear i went around a stump he crawled in. He looked at me from four feet then i ended it. A brownie at 12 yrds u probably felt the same way i did!

" He couldn't have got any closer". Close enough for me. Great shot, great hunt! Congratulations

Kodiak bears are a unique subspecies of the brown or grizzly bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi). They live exclusively on the islands in the Kodiak Archipelago and have been isolated from other bears for about 12,000 years.

"Kodiak bears are a unique subspecies of the brown or grizzly bear" - WRONG, not 'of the grizzly bear', only 'of the brown bear' - grizzlies _themselves_ are a brown bear subspecies; U. a. horribilis - _both_ are brown bear subspecies

What caliber rifles did they have as backup? What kind of load did they use, powder and bullet?

An absolute behemoth of an animal

What gear did you use? I see it's a bowtech reign. But what poundage? What arrow/broadhead combo? What was your arrow weight?

Was about 525 total arrow weight. 100g insert and 125g broadhead. 74lb
