On a side note, and nothing inferred at all, its wild to see the energy of youth and excitement, and exactly how I'd have been at that age, vs how my emotions would run on something like that these days.
Youth is not wasted on the young!

KK, that is just superb. What a great hunt! This is a memorable young man.
7.5 miles back and a 109 lb pack -- ouch!
To say I've seen a lot of hunting videos would be, um, inaccurate via understatement.
None beat this one.

He is one tough cookie! Amazing quality of the video also for a solo hunt. I have been hunting with David and his brother since they were in there early teens.

That was pretty ballsy to do an archery grizzly hunt solo. Kudos to him!

I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Please pass along my admiration to your friends. Awesome job. That is what you call a Hunter!

Congrats to the hunter. We shot a 8.5 footer that fell in a creek once. It wasn't so cold that it froze, but that hide with the head and feet in it probably went 200 lbs since it was soaking wet. We got it lashed to my pack and I had my two buddies pull me up. Luckily it was only about a 1/2 mile pack, but it bent the hell out of my freighter frame. Awesome stuff!

Nope... Head, hide, and paws soaking wet. I skinned that bear in shin deep water after I couldn't float it any longer from deeper water. If it wasn't 200 lbs it was damn close. Close enough in my mind to use that number. Send me your email address and I'll include you in an email to my friend asking him what his thoughts on the weight was. I'll tell you one thing Art, I have no need to tell bullshit stories.YMMV.

Same relative size bear shot on Kodiak by OlBlue. It dove into the saltwater and stayed there for quite a while as the tide receded. Three posters from here, me included, saw the bear,skinned the bear, and moved the bear around...
200 pounds is a ridiculous estimate unless the bear hide was still carrying well over 50 pounds of fat and flesh.
I have seen 200 pound wet bear hides, but they were from far larger bears.
Sorry if that does not fit your version of things, nor your memories, but I have had bear hides on scales too many times to accept the number 200 on an 8.5' bear hide, skull in.

would have to say that since art didn't see how well or closely it was skinned, the 200 pound number could easily be wrong or right. Doesn't much matter though, I'd say it classified as MF/SOB trying to stand up....
I doubt I could stand with 150 anymore. Damn sure not 200.

I doubt I could stand with 150 anymore. Damn sure not 200. Sorry, skinned too many and weighed them for 200 to be a real number. Leaving well over 50# of flesh on a hide that size does not count as skinning it... and that is accounting for feet, skull, and plenty of water.

Or was it just a culling of the bear population? Don't get it...somebody please explain..Thanks! Brown bear meat does not require recovery. The hide and appendages is all normally recovered on a brown. I don't know that anyone eats brown bear meat other than other browns and carrion eaters.

I know lots of folks that eat brown bear and there GMUs that have subsistence hunts that require removal of meat for brown bear. Having been around it, I can say it's not for me--it is for the mature palate....
