THIS BEAR WAS EATING MY MOOSE!!! Alaskan Brown Bear Hunt - Stuck N The Rut 217

On the moose hunt Travis and Adam were running into lots of bears on the blue berry ridge tops. Luckily Adam reminded Trav to purchase a Brown Bear locking tag before the hunt. For those who may not know, Brown Bears and Grizzly Bears are technically the same species, the difference in why brown bears are so much bigger is based on their region and diet. Although moose was the priority, a brown bear would be a bonus to the hunt. Mid hunt they stocked a big boar to 83 yards with his bow before he spooked. On the evening before the last day of the hunt after all moose meat was packed, and flown out, they checked Travis’s moose gut pile one last time and found the big boar berried the rest of the moose carcass and protecting his new claimed meal. They spike camped close enough to make a stock at first light the next morning. In this case, they decided to play it safe they grabbed the Gunwerks .338 ultra and got the high ground. A 200 yard shot from the ridge dropped the bear on the buried moose mound and 2 quick finish shots so he didn’t run into the brush. Travis explained that being quite the rush looking at that aggressive bear through the scope protecting his pile of bones. Even more of a rush than the same bear at 83 yards with a bow. Their demeanor is drastically different eating blue berries compared to protecting a kill.

Another dream of Travis’s accomplished. Shooting a bear off an animal he already harvested. Luckily all the meat was already packed out and he didn’t meet the bear face to face in the willows on one of the meat packs. Big thanks again to Adam and Tana Grenda for living the Alaska lifestyle and sharing it with our family. Also Adam being and exceptional pilot landing airplanes where few people have been if ever. We feel extremely blessed.
