Good stuff

[Bowhunter]

There's 3 animals there on my wish list:

Moose
Caribou
Brown bear (looking at the 1200lbs bearin this months Bowhunter there is no way that bear made 1200lbs!)

Good footage though, great find!!

maybe not 1200lb but add that one to the other 3 that were there when he walked up to them and shot it, with NO gun back up!...... Balls of brass comes to mind.

I agree!!

I think the only way to fairly take dangerous game with a bow, is without a backup rifle. Most Brown Bear shot with a bow are finnished off with a rifle these days, this is not, and should not, count as a bow kill IMO.

I would shoot mine with a compound though, so I could be a bit further away and therefore there is less chance of been detected so the chance of been charged is minimal. I know these days the majority of guides will not allow a bowhunter to hunt without a backup rifle.

My instructions to the guide would be 'Don't shoot unless he is on top of me - and I mean literally'

After paying $10k (+ flights, internal flights, hotel etc.) I would want it to be a BOW kill.

Maybe, I just might get my name down for 2012
Anyone else interested?
