Raising the Bar: Bowhunting Giant Alaskan Brown Bear
Спорт
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.

Great job, Brendan!
“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.

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.

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!
Brendan living his best life! Love you bro. You guys earned that one! hard hunting, great times.
Totally awesome! Can’t begin to imagine what you felt. A true monster. Congratulations Mr. 👍👍
Don’t understand how killing a beautiful creature is worth a praise. Damn.
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
Lance and Burns, two of my favorite gentlemen in the industry. God bless you both

@MrRaeberz God gave us precedence over land and beast. Says so in the good book. Take care friend 😊
What is that franken bowsight black gold with an option head?
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.

Amazing what money can buy
Polar bear is the world's largest land predator.
Gosh dang that’s amazing. Bottom of the ninth / home run!
Wicked stuff Matt, looking forward to the next one!
Great video guys, and amazing bear...congrats Brendan!
What is that camo pattern called? Never seen that looks like a desert storm chocochip remix
The Ram Hustle.. congrats Brendan
Wow, awesome film. Couldn't imagine how incredible this hunt must be with a bow.
Dude what arrow and head did you use and what was the weight of the arrow ? Awesome Hunt..
Wow congratulations, you'll are blessed. not only to get that giant but to be able to hunt that long!
Great video! What tent did you use fir the trip?
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.
What tents are they using? They almost look like Artic Oven brand.
Where can I find that button up at the end of the video
The sheer fortitude and determination it must take to do 15 days in that place!! Whew, i can only imagine. You gotta really want it!! I love hunting and i looove camping but thats a whole nother level man. Mr lance is that guy, if you had to be stuck in a tent for two days let it be with him, the stories that man must have. Whew, super cool boys!!!
Brendan, awesome job man. Congrats!
Great bear. Great hunt. Nice work again Forsyth
Is the Polar Bear the biggest land predator? Or are they considered an aquatic mammal? Either way…. An impressive, beautiful and fierce animal.
Excellent. That was a beautiful sow as well. There is nothing that compares to the peninsula in my opinion. Miss that place dearly.
What was the song at 8:30? I liked it. Great hunt guys!
That's 2x humongous Coastal's with a bow. You are a VERY LUCKY MAN-with a GREAT GUIDE. Where do you keep 2-10ft Brown Bears? Good problem. LOL
Wooo congratulations awesome bear + the views 👍
What’s the point man. He will be waiting when you cross over
Awesome Hunt! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing!
What happens with the bear after it is shot? Do they eat it? Do they stuff it?
I prefer hunters that do it for food not because of their insecurities.
What rifle and caliber yall using?
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.

Don't expect Americans to understand that.
Is all I want to know is where can I get that green button up shirt he’s wearing?! That thing is sweet! FYI this just popped up on my feed, zero knowledge on who he is or his brand.
I wonder how many of those browns were taken with a traditional bow?
Great video! Been in Alaska since 1977. Great job showing what Alaska hunting can be like.
Great hunt and incredible filming footage. Serious quality.
Anyone know what broadhead that was?
What was that sound just before he shot the bow?

Good bless America!! Without hunters the land would be lost
How do you get the bear out of there?!
I think I’ve seen every grizzly hunt on KZread. I was hype to see something new!!
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.
Incredible Bear! Well done y’all
The best part is when Brandon says "Gotta love bowhunters" and Lance says "no more". Its funny because the last bear hunt they went on Lance said he hates bow hunters 😂
Awesome bear congratulations
Wish I had 100k to spend every 4 years!
Awesome 👍 Excellent shot.
I prefer the bear alive
THAT IS A HUGE DAMN BEAR.CONGRAULATIONS
Awesome
Did I see the guide put cover back on scope???what if!!!
Awesome video and bear!!! Congratulations....
Just awesome. Huge congrats.
The amount of determination is what’s impressive to me! 15 days of hard hunting and getting it done with 3 hours left! congratulations
That’s beautiful well done !
Damn fine job gentlemen ! Pure commitment !
So you hunt an inedible animal thats precious for the region for what exactly?
What is song name?
Sport or culling or what?
nice hunt
It would be pretty funny if they got caught off guard and charged by a bull and viciously shredded and mauled to death.

Hi, great hunt. What arrow setup do you use for this kind of beasts??? Thanks.
What's the 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.
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.
Giant glad your first shot counted.
Nothing like good old fashioned grassroots corporate hunting!
Good stuff, congratulations 💯
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.
