I enjoyed your video very much, good job. I have to tell you a little story and you will have a good idea of how old I am. I started guiding in the Brooks Range long before you were born in 1963. I was working for an old guy by the name of Bill Pinnell. Bill Pinnell and Morris Talifson were world famous Kodiak Bear guides. I had the privilege of working with them for twelve years.on Kodiak and in the Brooks Range. In the Brooks Range we guided for Dall Sheep, Caribou, Moose and Grizzly. We built two cabins on lakes up there. I was young and what an adventure I had. You certainly have the right idea, enjoy your life and wild places as much as you can. The years go by much too fast !
I was born in 1932 during the Great Depression and we were poor. My dad,s only extravagance was a subscription to Outdoor Life,at first I could only look at the pictures but with my dad,s help I could read before entering first grade.one thing that always captured my attention were the Pinnell-Talifson Kodiak bear hunts,those stretched hides dwarfed the people who stood alongside,memories I still have to this day.
I've hunted all over Alaska. This has to be the most realistic AK hunting video I've watched. It's usually miserable and a lesson in persistence. Great work!
@@christianschauf3237 Amen to that. Some hunting shows are laughable how they are so stealthy and whispering and you can see the farmhouses through the trees!
Great video brother! I've been in that country chasing caribou. The Brooks range are beautiful and, at the same time, can be unforgiving. Congratulations on a great bear and very professional camera work!
I have always wanted to hunt AK. I have not yet. But I am planning, saving and wishing. May I ask in this video who you went thru to guide you? They seem very kind, professional and willing to have patience as well. Thank you for the amazing video and showing what it is like on a real hunt.
Great video and quality Sir ! This hunt is on my wife's short list for our next adventure. Hopefully we can experience an Awesome adventure as you did. I struggle also many times heading back into civilization. Congratulations !
How much does a plane cost to there? How about your gear? What caliber and make is your rifle? Make of your packs! I really enjoyed this thank you so much for video this!!!
my thoughts exactly. my bear was the biggest they'd had a hunter get in 2 years, and I was surprised how small he was. We have much bigger black bears on my farm in wisconsin. That said, he looked HUGE compared to every other bear I saw over that 2 week period.
i am glade you tryed the meat i shot one in 2018 in the same area he was about the same size. i wanted to take the back strap and the guid said the same thing and would not let me take any meat he was full of blue berrie and Alaska potato and willow roots the meat did not stink. i think the interior bears might be edibal the right time of the year if they are not eating rotten meat and fish. . the meat would smell if it were bad. if you do eat eat it cook throughly . the carry tricinia. freezing it for 30 days at -2 will kill tricina. also. Nice vidio and congraulations on the bear.
We have all had trips like that, it can be brutal, but anyone who has really hunted knows it can go from total boredom to heart pounding adrenaline filled craziness in seconds. It just sucks when there is a big price tag, research, research, and succcess rates previous client contacts etc. Great production on the video, enjoyed it
Fred is the man, and is applying to be a master guide, so we had to film him making the initial cuts on the bear as part of his submission. he's a total pro, I'd follow that guy in to a very dark night and not worry.
The outfitter should have provided a way for you to get probably at least 2 of the 3 animals you were going for especially when that is not a cheap hunt. However, congratulations on your bear.
@@therealyt5725 the frustrations with this outfitter were extremely high. I wrote a letter to the guide board but decided not to send as he has a family and young kids. But everything from 5 year expired food, to not waking up before 10a, to trying to cut our hunt short 2 days because he wanted to go home…. It was terrible.
Christian Schauf I have been there friend... I guided northern BC 7 seasons. Comment on your vid is just an observation. I really enjoyed your production and the sharing of your thoughts so openly. Appreciate your response.
You have made a great film, I truly mean that. But stop having this woke attitude, “we’re in a lot of danger etc…” It’s hunting, it’s part of the hunt. The problem with this approach is that in the long term you’re doing damage to hunting, the woke kids of today think it’s world war 3 going on a hunting trip and there’s already plenty of evil forces that want to put and end to hunting and by that an end to all wildlife. If you’re not sure about the first shot, don’t take it, seek a better opportunity. If a mama bear attack you, kill her or get killed. Your choice, you’re out there, you do what you have to. But don’t complain about it, or whine. It’s part of hunting, and as with all things in life things will sometimes turn out in a way you didn’t want to. I want to see more of you’re hunting trips, this is a great film, you catch the moment. But as a hunter of today you also have a responsibility to teach the young what it’s all about. They are the ones taking over in the future. Go hunt, make great films, and do it as it is in real life, sometimes happiness and sometimes it sucks. But it’s all part of hunting. Good luck with future hunts.
Thanks for the feedback. I truly don’t think I was complaining or whining in any way. I’m simply trying to share what goes through my head when making the decisions that I made. I shot. I was confident. But i also consider all options in a moment like that. It is dangerous. I’m not afraid of it but it’s also worth acknowledging it. My goal is always to encourage people to take trips like this, to expand their comfort zone, to understand hunting and also realize that just because I’m hunting, I’m not running around blood thirsty just thinking about killing. I’m considering and taking everything in, and am thoughtful in any actions I take.

I love the guide when he talk about how grizzly backstrap tastes hahha nice boar gentleman!!
Thanks for sharing this adventure and thanks for showing respect to the fine grizzly you harvested.
I've hunted all over Alaska. This has to be the most realistic AK hunting video I've watched. It's usually miserable and a lesson in persistence. Great work!
I'd take miserable and hard over a game farm any day!
@@christianschauf3237 Amen to that. Some hunting shows are laughable how they are so stealthy and whispering and you can see the farmhouses through the trees!
Really liked the video. Brings back memories of my Brook’s Range Dall Sheep 14 years ago. Nothing like that place.
Super video brother 🙏👍
Outstanding hunt, outstanding production. Thanks for taking us along with you on the adventure. You did it the hard way, the true way.
my pleasure. thanks for watching!
Nice 👍. I just love the scenery and the landscape you are hunting in. To shoot something is just a bonus. Congrats from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks for filming and sharing this with us.
Great video brother! I've been in that country chasing caribou. The Brooks range are beautiful and, at the same time, can be unforgiving. Congratulations on a great bear and very professional camera work!
Thanks for the kind words! It's an incredible place...
Very cool story - thx for sharing the adventure - your audience should grow quickly!
What a great watch! Great how you took us along in the highs and lows, that’s hunting.
I have always wanted to hunt AK. I have not yet. But I am planning, saving and wishing. May I ask in this video who you went thru to guide you?
They seem very kind, professional and willing to have patience as well.
Thank you for the amazing video and showing what it is like on a real hunt.
Nice to see the country and yes the real life of rain, wind, snow. Nice Grizzly
Great video and quality Sir ! This hunt is on my wife's short list for our next adventure. Hopefully we can experience an Awesome adventure as you did.
I struggle also many times heading back into civilization.
Congratulations !
Hope you guys make it happen! One of those life experiences that will live with me forever.
great hunt, nothing but respect für the animal!
Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations! This is a very nice video. The kind of hunting trip that make us dream about. -Jean
I believe you're in the correct field Christian as you could pass for Rob Dunham's brother. Well done video, not many can say they've tasted a Grizz.
I'm going to have to see who this Rob guy is.
Great video bro. I just subscribed to you, more people should! Thanks!!
Amazing~~~ great!🔥🔥
Really Love U your channel
Looks like a great adventure.
Great hunt! I'm booked for a grizzly /caribou hunt in Yukon. What combination caliber/bullet did you use?
How much does a plane cost to there? How about your gear? What caliber and make is your rifle? Make of your packs! I really enjoyed this thank you so much for video this!!!
Awesome video!
Do you have more info on the gear you used? Caliber of gun? Always curious...Thanks!
Christensen Arms 300 Win Mag Ridgeline. It's been used to take Kudu, Grizzly, Moose, Deer, Elk, and more.
Nice job, beautiful animal.
thank you!
That's why it's called hunting instead of killing. Even just being there would be satisfying to me.
it's never about the killing, for me.
Are there permits needed to hunt that area? Also as for clothing what jackets thermals stuff you recommend. Saving up to go the there
That camo is on point
Hey-- what caliber and distance of shot-- thanks-- Wyoming
This is high quality stuff here
Hey guys what brand and magnification are you binoculars
Those interior grizzlies are beautiful, but surprisingly smaller than I expected.
my thoughts exactly. my bear was the biggest they'd had a hunter get in 2 years, and I was surprised how small he was. We have much bigger black bears on my farm in wisconsin. That said, he looked HUGE compared to every other bear I saw over that 2 week period.
@@christianschauf3237 What did it square? I shot a grizzly in the Yukon that was I guess average. It squared 6'10".
@@randysandberg5615 if I remember correctly he was about 8.5’
@@christianschauf3237 8'5" is a very good interior grizzly.

agree on all fronts! thanks for watching!
They cleaned that bear like a pro
Fred is the man, and is applying to be a master guide, so we had to film him making the initial cuts on the bear as part of his submission. he's a total pro, I'd follow that guy in to a very dark night and not worry.
Nice job. Dream hunt! Who was your outfitter?
My guide was Fred Harbison. He's a stud and can't recommend him enough. My outfitter was terrible, but I'll refrain from trashing him on here.
The outfitter should have provided a way for you to get probably at least 2 of the 3 animals you were going for especially when that is not a cheap hunt. However, congratulations on your bear.

Hiking trip,with minimal hunting. Why walk 18 miles when you could have flown there??????
A lot of respect thank you congratulations
Appreciate it, Robert.
Ya ok,I guess
This video is the next best thing to being there. Thanks.
Appreciate it, Randy! That's always the goal!
Christian, Great video, I'd love to have you as a guest on my show Hooked On Utah. Let me know.
What caliber and make
Christensen Arms Ridgeline in 300 Win Mag. One shot...!
what rifle were you using??
Christensen Arms Ridgeline, 300 Win Mag. Love it!
@@christianschauf3237 what bullet did u use?
no cooking clips. sad
I don’t know about the comment “ I just don’t think these places are gonna be around much longer” they’re gonna be around a lot longer then you bud
to clarify, I'm seeing more and more human traffic through wild places. you're right. they'll be there, they just may not be the same.
19:56 That moment you regret pulling the trigger.
I wouldn't call it regret. but it's just such a final decision any time you pull a trigger... unless you've been there, it's very hard to understand.
Christian Schauf I have been there friend... I guided northern BC 7 seasons. Comment on your vid is just an observation. I really enjoyed your production and the sharing of your thoughts so openly. Appreciate your response.
Looks like you shot him high in the middle of the back. Great example of the work it takes to even get close to an animal.
Don't eat bears. It's like eating crows or seagulls.
I believe grizzly meat is good unless they are eating salmon. Then it is disgusting
Would have been a great video if you could have kept the nasty language out. I couldn't even let my family watch it
Apologies, Russ. Thanks for pointing this out and I’ll try better next time.
You have made a great film, I truly mean that.
But stop having this woke attitude, “we’re in a lot of danger etc…”
