Looks like moose hunting on the Kenai Peninsula! Big brown bears are every where. I love hunting in wild country. All wilderness has grizzly bears. Trees and brush and mountains are not wilderness with out the big bears.

They do look big. I was talking to a fellow hunter yesterday about the local grizzly population around here, he said he saw one burying a carcass about 8 years ago in a logging block. He went back in there for a look, and it had a black bear buried, he said he wasn't sure if the grizzly had killed the black bear or not.
I'm sure you know that they will.

"You should always carry pepper spray and wear a bell when in bear country. You can tell the kind of bear by examining their poop. Black bear poop contains twigs and berries. Grizzly bear poop smells like pepper spray and contains little bells."

Also helps if you are adept at climbing trees. If the bears climbs after you, it's a black bear; if it tears the tree down to get you it's a grizzly.

Great post Schrap.
I've been in awe of Grizz all of my life.
Hunted interior Grizz twice and Kodiak once.
All were hunts to be revered and instilled incredible respect for the beasts.
I was in YNP with the wife and this big boar came within feet of her window just at sundown.

I do not know their weight, but I would assume similar to Oprah Winfrey's weight.
KillerBee, what did a bear ever do to you to get compared to Oprah? No wonder there is bear/human conflict....sheesh, hold into the salad....
Nothing really, except I marvel how big they can both get, as long as I am not on the menu, no issues!

And Houston_2 thinks the pedophiles and globohomos can take out the bear.

Great pictures and thank you for sharing. I do believe I would want an 8 round slug gun in that country.

I hunt in Grizz country, you would want the last 2 or three shots to be 3" OO Buckshot. Pretty hard to bite something if you face and teeth are gone!

It is so you don't chip a tooth when you put it in your mouth to pull the trigger rather than die from the bear. Yes it is a joke.

It is so when the bear is ramming the pistol up your azz it doesnt hurt near as much.

Thanks. I assumed it was a joke, but this is the Fire, so I couldn't completely rule it out as nothing but terrible advice haha.
