The red colors along with the grizzly bear are stunning. Definitely wall-worthy 👍

[@WILDALASKA]

Thanks

[@Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa]

Hi Scott, Among all your awesome and informative videos over the past 2 years since I've been watching your channel, this one is my absolute favourites (although the Musk Ox one is right up there too... and er, so many others too). The first section of 4 minutes and 45 seconds was so fabulous with the stunning scenery, music and wildlife (I love that song/music) that I wanted jump up out of my chair and do a little country jig. But then, as if that wasn't enough, you totally killed us with the Brown Bear section!!!! Holy smokes Scott, both the footage and the images were unbelievable... out of this world!!! I'm no expert, but in my opinion your vison, your cinematic, photographic and all around creative gifts and skills, your friendly, engaging, conversational narratives and your love for Nature, make watching your videos a total sensory experience. I just can't say enough good things about how superb these productions of yours are and how much I love them. Also, you're looking real good, nice and healthy and very happy after your tough slog with the accident and heart attack earlier this year. Keep on keeping! (Sorry for the excessively long post, but I had a few things to say. LOL.) Cheers Rudy

[@WILDALASKA]

Thank you for the kind woids. 😁

[@SarunAc-tb4gp]

[@WILDALASKA]

😂

[@heathersterling6017]

Great to see you and Heidi up in Denali! I am behind in a lot of things, but caught up with this video, and also about your accident. Now I know why I didn't see your black truck. Wow! Believe me, I understand. And yes, photography has literally kept me alive from some serious health issues... and made life more worth living. Blessings!

[@WILDALASKA]

😁Thanks

Spectacular colors along with great video captures! I was only in Denali once but it was on a bus tour bus without the freedom that you describe. It was still great.

[@WILDALASKA]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good video and nice music, tks

[@WILDALASKA]

thx

[@JohnSwen-p6b]

Thank you for sharing the video and photos. I have been to Alaska a few times for bear photography in the summer, but never in the fall. I will need to ensure that I visit in the fall sometime.

[@WILDALASKA]

Fall is amazing time.

[@JeffJones-im1dx]

WOW, Wow, wow 😃!. Great footage and fall colors. Best KZbin video I've seen lately. How do you like your Bronco, I just got my 2024 Bronco this year and I'm stoked!. Heading to Bronco off-rodeo in 2 weeks for off-roading adventure day...woohoo!

[@WILDALASKA]

Love the Bronco. Not so much the autostart /stop feature. Always turning that off every time I start the truck.

[@akinipeters]

Absolutely wild fall colors. That's definitely an unforgettable Grizzly Bear shot.

[@WILDALASKA]

thanks

[@DanBetty]

Awesome

[@WILDALASKA]

thx

[@stephenthompson1998]

Another amazing film great colours and wildlife. Waiting for autumn colours in UK hopefully see some great colours then, but no bears😢

[@WILDALASKA]

Many thanks!

[@lanep4322]

Oh man, nice fall colors. For perspective, I got to experience 92 degrees in southeast CONUS. Yikes.

[@WILDALASKA]

😁

[@tonyw3250]

Absolutely stunning, some of the best bear photos I've ever seen

[@WILDALASKA]

thx

[@Kellysher]

Beautiful work! Does Heidi have a channel too? I can’t get enough of this scenery!

[@WILDALASKA]

Just instagram instagram.com/heidimorrisonphotography/

[@heidimorrison4527]

I only have Facebook! Heidi Morrison Photography- 🥰

[@NatureNomad24]

Wow! The clarity, photography/videography, storytelling, and music are all incredible. You may not realize it, but your exceptional skills are truly inspiring others! Did you use iPhone and/or any other action camera when you were talking into the camera? Edit 1: I don't know how I forgot to subscribe when I made this comment, but liked & subscribed now!

[@WILDALASKA]

I use a lot of different cameras for A roll, but I used the Pocket 3 on this day. And thanks for the kind words and sub 😁

[@DMDBSJD]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing! For some reason, we just don't have that same scenery over here on the South Carolina coast. ;-)

[@WILDALASKA]

Thanks for watching!

[@scooter5193]

Beautiful bear for sure. The fall colours are stunning - what a combination! The still pictures are looking mighty fine - super clean. Thanks for sharing.

[@WILDALASKA]

Thank you so much 😀

[@cathco9]

Thanks, Scott. The fall colors are just spectacular. The final photos of the Grizzly amongst the red colors is amazing.

[@WILDALASKA]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@clshea24]

Wow! What amazing photos of the bear. I really appreciate your love and appreciation of nature and wildlife in all your videos. Thank you!

[@WILDALASKA]

Thank you very much!

[@adragon3210]

Totaly loved the grouse!!❤ (and the bears!!!)

[@WILDALASKA]

🐻They are fun to watch

[@johndownie7735]

incredible colours, incredible animal. thanks for sharing

[@WILDALASKA]

Thanks for watching!

[@remember627]

Loved the video. The autumn colors around the grizzly look awesome! Good to see you getting around so well. I have a question and if you've covered it before I apologize. I'm in the market for an Arca Swiss tripod foot for my Canon EF 600 f4 II and was wondering which one you guys have on your lenses? I've looked at the Really Right Stuff LCF-51 and the Wimberley AP 600 but I noticed yours may have more space to get my hand in there when carrying the camera by the tripod foot. I'm also hoping yours is a little longer than those others for balance on a tripod. Thanks for your time.

[@WILDALASKA]

Think mine is the RRS one. Its pretty long

[@canadakaren1131]

Wow Scott! The bear and the foliage are just stunning! Question, when you are out and about looking for animals, do you normally carry bear spray or a firearm? It seems there are many times that you have hiked long distances and I’m wondering how you stay safe in those cases. Beautiful video as always 💕

[@WILDALASKA]

Thanks. If I'm hiking when the bears are out, at minimum I have bear spray.

[@keithmacdonald4805]

Excellent video Scott and some of the best Bear images I have seen. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@WILDALASKA]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Terrytheartist]

Well Scott I’m sat here in the UK looking out the window at a very dull wet day while watching this and I can tell you I’m in the wrong place! lol! some great filming and shots, those colours are unbelievable, so varied and rich, a beautiful place for sure 👍📷🦅

[@WILDALASKA]

Its an amazing place for sure.

[@davidsherman3462]

Great bear pictures!!

[@WILDALASKA]

Thanks 🐻

[@Kellysher]

Just a side note. Your website might be down,but I did find you on instagram!

[@WILDALASKA]

Looks like the site is up www.wildalaskashop.com

[@ph_anto]

One of your best video, bear shots are incredible for colors and impact. Chapeau Ps. At 3:59 in the background there’s a strange blurry effect, what do you think of that?

[@WILDALASKA]

The. Its just atmospheric distortion with temperature changes and wind. When you shoot close to the ground that can happen a lot.

[@LourdesVenard]

Beautiful images, Scott. What is a good time to go in September of next year? And you said they opened the preserve to residents -- does that mean only to those with an Alaska driver's license?

[@WILDALASKA]

Back half of September. If you check the park website, it will list the times the road is open.

[@alunlambert7456]

Absolutely fantastic, what lens were you using with the R5 ii

[@WILDALASKA]

200-800 and the 500 f4.

[@Crazymizu2014]

Amazing photos! I’m interested in going to Alaska when the fall colors are out. Is September a good time to go? Or is it sooner like August?

[@WILDALASKA]

September is perfect. Fall colors, bears, moose in rut, etc.

[@Mark-i4h7r]

Curious, why didn't your other occupant just sit behind you in the back seat so she also had a window to shoot from?

[@WILDALASKA]

Equipment in the back seat and we had to jump in the tuck quick as the bear came down quicker than we thought she would.
