I admire, fear and respect bears far too much to ever walk among them, even at 100 yards or more. No thank you. I'll enjoy them on video thank you.
Not for everyone. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I agree with you .🌟
Agree 👍
You got my vote...me neither.😮😮😮
💯💯
At all
The crows are just toying with the bears. Lol They are so smart
We were in Yellowstone the day the elk was killed. We sat and watched for hours. This video is amazing. Thanks for sharing
Our pleasure. So glad you got to observe this very unique event.
Outstanding video
Those bears are definitely eating good.
I just love seeing wild life in thier own habitat
So much fascinating behaviour captured here, thanks for sharing!
Fascinating to see how a huge bull elk murdering bear can seem like such a neophyte in this confrontation! Amazing footage
It was fascinating. I watched these two for 30+ hours over two days. They taught me so much about bears.
INCREDIBLE!! This is such a fabulous follow up to the memorable day when we saw 791 eating the elk a few weeks back. Wow! Such quality work you’ve done! Shared!!!
Our pleasure! Thanks for sharing! This was an incredible experience. So glad you had the opportunity to view 791. He is one extremely impressive bear.
6:52 that is the cutest thing ive ever seen🥺
Also this was an amazing video! Im glad no voice was put on top of it, and it was very education, subbed👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. Bears are quite amazing. At times they do seem adorable, or "cute". But they are also powerful, and at times ferocious wild animals.
They amaze us at every encounter, but we respect them and want to give them their space.
I don't know about cute.😳
I keep thinking he's going to poke his eye out on the antler lunging like that.
A Red Ryder Antler?! You'll poke your eye out!
Judging from his scars, and behavior, 881 isn't the most cautious bear.
@@HomeInWildSpaces True lol,, how do you get such good audio ?
@@GrowBetterOnYoucraphahaha you win😂
I've been watching this from the beginning. Being a native NW Montanan, it brings me joy to have viewed this awesome portrait of the Grizzly. In my back yard! Thank you! 🐻🦌
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks to whom ever this is great I’ve visited for the last 6 or 8 years it never ceases to amaze me
So glad you enjoyed it! We too visit Yellowstone every year, and it never disappoints, although this was something truly unique in our experience.
Pretend to be busy working, but he is just moving the dirt around. What a play.
There is a purpose for this behavior. By concealing the elk, the bear is blocking the scent and making it more difficult for rivals to access without pushing him off the kill. Some bears also prefer to let the kill rot before eating.
We were there the week after the kill and were fascinated by the whole experience. Best video I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed it. Did you get to witness much of the exchange in person?
Something clearly National Geographics would envy of footage.....did you go scratch a lottery ticket after that? What a shot!
Didn’t scratch a lottery ticket, but definitely felt lucky to be there to witness it first hand.
Thanks. I was there the first afternoon. Checked briefly over the next few days. Missed the good stuff on later days so this fills in some of the blanks.
Glad we could help fill the blanks. The bears were mostly inactive. The exciting portions were easy to miss.
Thxs for the video!! We saw this Bear he was over 600lbs!! The next day on the Yellowstone River!! On September 23rd,2020!!! It was soooo exciting he was still burying the Elk and we could still see the Antlers!!!What an amazing site!!! Hes the besr everyones talking about!!! Something I will always remember!! Yellowstone park is sooo amazing!! Everyone should experience!! Also everyone was wearing there Masks!!
Excellent council. And thanks for sharing your experience!
Fantastic footage. Hard to read some of the captions because of the background colors. You got the video of a lifetime ! Congratulations, new sub here !
♥️ 🕊️ 🇨🇦
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you like these video. More to come.
Yellowstone is amazing, it actually competes with Alaska for one of the wildest places I’ve been...a little 😉
We agree whole-heartedly. Yellowstone is a gem.
Wow this video is fantastic really gives a good perspective of just how large these bears are.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was an incredible sight to behold.
That was a hell of a fighting.👍
Excellent video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you'll check out my other bear videos.
We were there the day after the elk kill 791 was eating quite a bit even though the ranger said he had a bison earlier that week I think that's why he gave up the carcass without much of a fight he had enough with the bison we also saw the same eagle it was amazing my son and his friend took me for Father's day spectacular
What a great way to spend Fathers Day! 791 had definitely eaten a great deal over the past week. But he and 881 came to some serious blows. We unfortunately didn't get our camera set up in time to capture it.
Thank you for the video. Now I understand more about the grizzly.
You bet! That is why we do what we do. Glad we could share it with you.
Wonderful video!! I love Yellowstone and the magnificent animals that live there! Bears are definitely one of my favorites!!
Same here! We love Yellowstone for so many reasons, but the wildlife is likely main reason.
He’s using so much energy to protect the throne. Hope there’s some actual meat left on that elk.
There was a fair amount left. Hard to tell since so much of the carcass has been buried, but there was still a decent store of calories left to guard.
I'm guessing the 5 second rule doesn't apply for bears. That can't be tasty covering your meat in dirt.
Incredible. Thanks for this amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed it! We'll never forget the experience.
Thanks. 👊🏼✌🏻
This is an awesome video! Was also good to see some words of advice for others thinking of visiting areas with large dangerous critters.
So glad you enjoyed it! It's part of our philosophy that people should be able to observe true nature, but that doing so must be done responsibly. Our videos will always bear this message. Pun intended ;)
@@HomeInWildSpaces Please '. How do you pick up good audio ? Thanks for video's
I wouldn't call them critters. We are the invaders, we are the critters to them. They are the kings of their territory.
Wonderful footage. Thanks so much for sharing!
My pleasure glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent videography and really love the audio!!!! How were you able to cancel out the unwanted noise from passing cars and other people nearby?
Where in Yellowstone
So glad you enjoyed it! We had a shotgun microphone that did better than most microphones of prioritizing audio from the direction of the bears, but we also spent a week carefully editing the audio to give our video a more natural feel.
All audio in this video except a one second audio clip was recorded during this event.
WOW this is amazing thanks for sharing !! nice view count you deserve it
Thanks! It's been quite a year for bear sightings. Still haven't shared everything yet.
Great job! I sat on that bank long enough to know how special this is.
Thanks so much! Not sure how often you get to observe bears, but from our experience, this was something truly remarkable. Glad you were able to see it with your own eyes, and glad we could share a bit more of it with you.
@@HomeInWildSpaces It is remarkable, even extraordinary!
I have spent many weeks in Yellowstone/Tetons over the last 15 years, including several weeks this summer. Never enough. Not too many bear sightngs. This was very special.
My wife treated me to a Nikon 400/2.8 this summer, making this summer even better.
You did a really good job with story telling and editing.
That big boy didn't even want to share some scraps with the raven's.
I can’t believe this place is underrated and overlooked by popular thought
We very much agree. Pop culture is filled with things that aren't a fraction as fascinating and beautiful.
I WAS AT PARK THE DAY OF 791 BEAR KILLED ELK MISSED IT BY 45 MINUTES I WOULD NEVER THOUGHT ANY BEAR COULD HAVE TAKEN HIS CACHE BUT I WONDER IF HUNGER IS THE FORCE BEHIND WHY A FULL BEAR WOULD WALK AWAY WHY A HUNGRY BEAR WOULD FIGHT HARDER FOR ELK I LOVE YELLOWSTONE THANK YOU PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
That's awesome! We go to Yellowstone every year and have never seen anything that compares to this exchange.
Definitely a number of factors that lead to 791 loosing the kill. Once 791 left the kill and 881 moved in, 791 was going to be disadvantaged against such a large and experienced opponent.
Having watched the two interact for 30ish hours, 881 was clearly the more dominant personality. 791 had the size, but not the confidence. He had also fed heavily over the past week. The risk equation may simply not have been beneficial enough.
791 sure knows how to marinate an elk.
well put
Ok 😆 😂
Amazing movie !! :-)
So glad you liked it! It was an amazing experience.
Amazing video depicting this amazing animal that a grizzly bear is 🐻💝. Raw power !!. I wish some day to have the pleasure of visiting Yellowstone's National Park and its Wildlife 👏👍
Thanks! We hope you can make it yourself some day. It's a truly amazing place.
Amazing video! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Amazing video, like a documentary!!
Thanks! 😃
Screw the bear spray, an armoury of weapons ...😮😮😮
Wow!
It's very good to film that scary bear.
I stay for a long time.
Thanks~
Good day~
^^*
Thank you too
Majestic Animal
We couldn't agree more.
Beautiful bears and nature. :-)
We couldn't agree more. This was far from our only bear sighting, but it's destine to be one of our most memorable.
were you in a vehicle when filming this or far far away or how did that work? awesome video. thx
I was across the river approximately 90 yards away under the close supervision of park rangers.
I think we should have more parks dedicated to wildlife. And chill out on the game hunting and hunting period. We need them in our ecosystem we don't want them to end up like the dinosaurs!! From Big to small there are God's creatures we should respect that. ❤
Beautiful video ,just awesome
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I want to visit Yellowstone soon! It’s only a state away!
It’s an amazing place. Hope you make it some day.
I know bears has a certain amount of intelligence, but he’s putting that dirt on his stash like he’s really hiding it good. And even though the large antlers are sticking out, he’s still piling on the dirt in plain sight! 😀
We humans usually think of "hiding" in visual terms, and while bears have eyesight that is comparable to ours, it's really the smell of the kill the bear is attempting to mask.
Bears and most other animals have a sense of smell that is so far beyond our human senses that it's hard to appreciate how they experience the world. Pilling on the dirt decreases the scent, making it harder for other predators to detect and locate.
@@HomeInWildSpaces Thanks for the info, but I was really just having fun with it, no biggie!
Antlers mark the spot. Haha.
love it
Thanks!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
it doesn't seem like 881 ate any elk so much as stuff in the dirt!
Enjoy your dirt flavored Elk 881!
Right?! He certainly didn't seem to mind. Didn't exactly excite our pallets though.
God made dirt , dirt don't hurt...lol
still waiting for the "fighting" in the video entitled "Giant grizzlies fighting..."
Hell to the naw naw naw......hell naw......😂😂
Since when is 600lbs considered big for a grizzly
For inland grizzlies 600lbs is bigger than normal. However, at least one of if not both of these two grizzles were 700lbs or more.
The largest grizzly recorded in Yellowstone was 715 lbs.
Coastal bears in Alaska get much bigger, but resources are more limited in the interior.
How big do brown bears get in Montana ?
If memory serves, the largest recorded grizzly in Montana in recent years was around 850lbs. That’s just a single bear however.
Animal size is affected by a number of variables from genetics to the availability of resources. Polar bears are on average smaller today than they were 50 years ago because access to resources has been greatly diminished.
The grizzlies of Yellowstone and of northern Montana are the same animals and maximum size should be pretty similar if access to resources is comparable.
How close would the photographer be?
The exact distance is hard to know for sure, but between 90-110 yards, and under the close supervision of park rangers.
Wow 😮
what a crazy fight!!!can you say CLICKBAIT
Captions are too small to read
Thanks for the feedback. We're still trying to find the ideal font and text size.
How heavy I wonder
I wonder why 881 just didn't eat it rather than covering it constantly.
He had eaten a portion already, but bears have a capacity on their stomachs. There's only so much they can eat at one time. He's guarding a future source of food that he can't eat at the moment.
@@HomeInWildSpaces Thanks
Reminds me of dinner time in my childhood home haha
In my family of 10 it was called The Quick and the Hungry
Same here.
I think meat with ground tastes great for bear
These two definitely didn't have any problems with it.
Bears aint fighting ridiculous title
Did the bear actually kill the elk?
791 killed the elk. 881 pushed him off the kill.
He's hilarious!
Maybe if i just keep piling more soil on top of it inconspicuously, no one will notice.. 🤣
Nothing to see here folk's.
Keep it moving..
That wasn't a fight.
Is this a skar around his neck?
I wish I was the referee in that fight….
It was pretty amazing. But we were fine letting the two of them work things out on their own. At between 600-700lbs these bears were far too large to enforce any judgment we might come to.
@@HomeInWildSpaces thanks for the video man, and yea i agree there really strong.
Lens yes, but hows the audio pick up like its 20 feet away? Mic would pick up ya know close be for far? you could HEAR a parasite thinking . HELP?lol
We had a shotgun mic which did half the work of prioritizing audio from the bears. We did have to edit a fair amount of background noise out in post to produce the final product.
Not right to call this a fight.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not sure what he’s doing..is he going to eat it now or save it? Seems to be just shifting the dirt around..I’m sure there’s a method to his madness but I don’t know bears & their kills. Frightening creatures though.
Think he's just posturing, stay active, look tough. At end after cut, he eats.
Bear 881 is attempting to conceal the carcass and make it more difficult to access. In this way he is more likely to avoid attracting additional rivals and make it impossible for bear 791 to get any part of the carcass without pushing 881 off the kill.
bears also have a capacity on their stomachs. 881 had already eaten before we arrived to record the exchange and likely just wasn't all that hungry although he does eat off the carcass late in the video.
Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Click bait. There is no fighting.
The bears did fight, just before I hit record. This is what followed
no fight
How can that taste good all covered in dirt!
By human standards, it probably tastes awful. But the bears are focused chiefly on putting on enough fat to survive the winter. At this time of year, taste is a secondary consideration.
What fight, that wasn't a fight. What a rip...#smh
The two did trade severe blows. We unfortunately missed the climax.
791 is bigger but gave up mentally.
We felt the same way. 791 definitely had the weight advantage, but it was apparent to us that he was unaware of that fact. But this illustrates a key to bear safety. Size isn't necessarily the deciding factor. Bears are cautious and can't always discern who is bigger during an encounter.
Making the right choices when encountering a bear is key to our safety in the backcountry.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope to hear from you again.
@@HomeInWildSpaces Thank you for the awesome video.
click bait
We thought it was quite appropriate. Thanks for the feedback though.
Can't subscribe only clickbait no real fight
Click bait thumbs down
Thanks for the feedback.
Did the wolf pack kill the bear?
? Are you referring to our grizzly vs. 20 wolves video? If so: No, the wolves were pushed off the kill by the grizzly.
Hope that helps.
@@HomeInWildSpaces cheers mate
animals i do not want to be within eyesight of: Bears , hippos , moose , gorillas , orca , great whites, lions, george bush 🤦♂️
those bears would look good on the floor next to the fire place - the look tasty too
Obviously just trolling. Black bears where often just an ancillary kill while hunting back when. Tender, well marbled red meat, something between pork and beef, really good. Hope they open up harvesting more. They really are plentiful now.
We prefer them as they are.
Still not going to be a subscriber. You haven't paid me yet
Dumb bear throws dirt all over it's food.
Some bears prefer to let the meat rot. Definitely not appealing to us either.
What a disgusting display of toxic bear masculinity. It would be better if the bears would learn to share equally.
The event was more than a mile from our position.
Zzzzzzz bbboooorrrrriiiinnngg zzzzzzzzzzz
We'll see if we can do better next time.
A dominant never share that's the law of the nature
"Grizzlies fighting" is a lie. This is complete waste of time they don't fight whatsoever
weak
