Well done Alain, what an adventure!

I have thoroughly enjoyed your attitude/demeanor is this vlog. You have a terrific outlook and positive vibe throughout. I get the impression that everything - every hardship, every unexpected twist - is looked at as making the adventure even more spectacular and memorable. I don't know, but I bet you'd have been happy even if you came home without a bear. Thank you for sharing this. Peace

Alain....please consider checking out Lazzeroni Arms in Tucson, AZ....they have some AWESOME rifles that will shoot like most hunters have never experienced!!! Love this channel and look forward to new videos every time I get on youTube!

Awesome video my friend 👍🏾

Привет с Камчатки! Один выстрел молодец.

Getting wet in the bush during winter/spring is EXTREMELY unpleasant. Many times I wished then I was some place else!! You HAVE TO be with people you enjoy being with. It makes ALL the difference!

All of Siberia is rough. High melt water in spring time. Deep ice and snow in winter. Bottomless mud other times. But millions of acres of game habitat.

Great shots! Really enjoy the way you aggressively take those short windows of opportunity to seal the deal. Takes a lot of self assurance. That is a major reason why I enjoy your videos. Along with the instructive explanations. You are the Anthony Bourdain of travel hunting. Without the lefty liberal ideology. ;)

Hello again Alain! Another great hunting video from you. Not optimal early spring hunt travel conditions, but you were successful in the end. I have not hunted in Kamchatka, but with my Win 70 in 338 Win Mag I did harvest a Northern BC Mountain Grizzly years ago, smaller than your huge Kamchatka brown bear. I noticed that your recently new Gunwerks in 375 H&H bolt rifle has a ZEISS V6 3-18x50 scope. Which reticle does it have? I bought the very same scope with reticle #6 for my CZ-550 7mm Rem Mag for hunting Red Deer and European Roe Deer in western Ukraine! Andrew in Canada&Ukraine

Have you weighed these bears?

Hi mate. What's the reason you went at that time of year? There must be a reason you didn't go mid or late summer before the bears hibernate. They'd be bigger, and there'd be no snow.

Nein es sind nicht die Moskitos, es ist vor allem das beste Fortbewegungsmittel mit dem Schneemobil in der Zeit. Diese kann man zwar auch auf festem Boden fahren doch ist der Schnee das was dem Gerät am wenigsten abverlangt, was am wenigsten Schäden verursacht denn dafür sind sie konzipiert. Sie können keinen Bären erlaufen auf der Pirsch sie sind viele Kilometer weit unterwegs um die Gegend nach Bären mit dem Glas abzusuchen.

Ich habe das in Kamtschatka auch so erlebt und ich denke Alain du warst mit Sicherheit auch dort für das Abenteuer. Nur auf dem Hinweis zu Beginn des Filmes bist du anscheinend nach Süd Korea geflogen und nicht von Moskau nach Petropawlowsk! Entschuldigung aber das sollte gesagt sein, sorry, denn deine spannenden Jagderlebnisse waren aus meiner Sicht bisher nicht nur unterhaltsam sondern auch ohne Fehler.

Huge bear !!!

Gilligan and company went on a THREE hour cruise. Mary Ann was hotter than Ginger. Snow machines create snow. They're riding SLEDS. (Go Polaris!) And that slop they're eating? (around 12 minutes) It's called comfort food, hot, filling and plenty of it. Hell, after a long day slogging it out in miserable cold, wet weather, even wieners and beans is fine as long as it's hot and lots of it. Of course, fresh baking powder biscuits would be nice. That's why Diana, goddess of the hunt invented the Dutch Oven. If your hunting camp doesn't have a Dutch Oven, you're doing it wrong.

Please look after your peninsular Russia, please, please, please. Have a few hunters well guided and paying heeps and heeps. And they have to pay a bounty fee. and are allowed only 1 bear. And older bore. And fees and taxes go back into conservation. Make the bounty fee $10,000 if the client gets the bear. And tell them the bears will be hunting them as well.

i like how they pretend to spot the bears when the guide does that hmmm

And Putin is jealous!😠
