No idea what Lonesome Dove is about but the moose whisperer never made it to bear whisperer...

Lonesome dove was the outfitter in the bear video I thought it said. Dennis zadra down outa Cordova owns that outfit.
I wasn’t aware AOD had a bear whisperer. Does 24hr have one too?

AOD's Moose Whisperer is the only known Whisperer. All of the known Bear Whisperers seem to turn into bear Schiff at some point.

Maybe they should yell instead of whisper?

They do.
Also, they refuse to allow never having seen one to temper their advice.

That's a pucker.

Not really. Plenty of fire power.... the advantage was all theirs. I felt sorry for the bear.

That hide alone is gonna be a 200 lb pack out, if it is as wet as it looks. Years ago, I helped skin and carry the hide of a 9'2" chocolate bear (about same color as this one) 6 miles out of the mountains - second oldest bear ever recorded in Alaska, at the time anyway. 31 years old - rotted, missing, and loose teeth. Charged my bud and his wife from about 70 yards on Memorial Day weekend, a few days after season ended when they were hunting black bear. Old bugger still had 3 inches of fat on him too. 4 rounds (all of them burned!) in the Mod 70, .30-06, spare rounds in his wife's pack, but it ended well..... .

Warm day, and he had been laying up on an unmelted as yet snow patch under a dense patch of Hemlock in an alpine bowl. They had stopped a half-hour for lunch, and when they started out again, he came out (running downhill), and turned toward them on exiting, jaws popping. Any other direction, the bear would have been under cover for a considerable distance, so there was no mistaking intent.

He died in 10 inches of seasonal snow-pack runoff, about 30 yards out. 4 hours later, still dripping water, the hide alone weighed just over 180 lbs on my bathroom scale. The 3 of us involved in required salvage changed off frequently on the pack out. My bud was able to buy the hide back at auction for a not insignificant amount.

Good video!

I should have a talk with the bear(s) that keep bringing rotting salmon up from the river and leaving them just outside the yard for my dog to snack on.....

I had to open the bay door this rainy day, as the dog had gone out for lunch. She hadn't rolled in it, that was just because of her breath! Oops- I have to download the pic yet. Will edit and post later.

On the recommendation of two fire members I hunted with Dennis and Lonsome Dove twice. Nothing fancy, but he and his crew are top shelf and produce way more often than not.

Great video (sans music).

Makes me want to take TWO .44s as back up AND a guide with a .45-70!

Cannot imagine why anyone would want to pack less effective firearms... as if they would drop their rifle to shoot the bear with a handgun.

very good video, I do wish laughing ,high 5`in and slap`n hands was not part in any video`s anymore ,it looks bad to the public or makes us look like just killers with no respect for the animal.

Copy THAT.

Can't say that I could have done any better, but Shooter 1 was emptying his rifle and a dangerous bear was still not dead. Appeared the experienced guide dispatched the bear with a shot to the spine. If the bear had been charging a hunter with an "empty" rifle...outcome could have been problematic.

Still does not address the "need" for a rifle and two 44s...

If the problem has reached the point of a second .44 you best start being lucky rather than good.

You like to argue or are you just a humorless Liberal??

Just answer the question.

Perhaps that was simply hyperbole.
