I wonder how bad the gunshot wound was?
10mm must 've grazed his leg?

That would suck. Luckily they had comms to get pulled out of there. Sleeping bears, juveniles kicked off the tit, and sows with cubs were always the worst encounters.
I was close to having to shoot a couple times, a friend actually arrowed a charging blk bear sow and killed her.

Probably the wildest bear attack footage I’ve watched was years ago when Fred Eichler was in a river in Alaska and a big Kodiak or grizzly charged his small boat. He had a split second to decide whether to shoot the bear or not and made an incredible shot on a charging bear. Dropped it immediately. If he didn’t shoot he’d be dead.

I've had a close call or two with browns and grizzly's but never that close. Not sure if he is just a super cool/chill dude or in shock or both.

One of the guides working for me in the Brooks Range was attacked while guiding caribou hunters. It took 3 days to get him out but he survived.

I always thought a brown bear and a grizzly bear were the same thing.

brown is a coastal bear, eats salmon.
grizzlies is an inland bear and smaller.
same family.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Depending on who you listen to they are either the same species or there are multiple sub-species. SCI has several categories for grizzly bear and a few for brown bear. Having hunted and or guided: brown, Kodiak & grizzly I'd say they are different sub-species. SCI's rule is if the bear is killed within 100 miles of the ocean it's a brown bear and it is killed outside of that line it's a grizzly.

I saw one where his guide shot in front of a charging sow and she turned and ran away.
