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.
One of the comments below that youtube vid:
"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.
...and always remember to file off the front sight of the revolver you tote for defense.
