To see Father & Daughter working side by side In Alaska of all places is great. You don't find a family bond much like that anymore. Good for you guys.

What caliber rifle are you shooting?

[@GeorgeFhore]

.22

[@Corsomastiff44]

Wow Awesome, Congratulations Nicole. That is One Massive Bear.

[@art-is-lazy4509]

Such a contrived scenario, just be honest and admit you hunted a bear and quit all the BS.

Exactly

[@NestaAllen]

Don’t say that

[@rubiconklbrutorowman7577]

Excellent job and VERY well done by taking proactive steps to protect your family!

Absolutely majestic Bear wow , you can feel the emotion she was going through

Does the father and daughter have their own channel on KZbin? I would love to follow their hunts and guide services.

[@RonHudgens-ck5qe]

A giant grizzle bear is too close if WITHIN 100 yards of a camp or homestead. They can travel 20 miles a day easily. A thought,, if you don't live or know personally, PLEASE PLEASE don't tell others not to HUNT them. A BLACK bear recently KILLED and partly ate a woman in her own home!! No B S , in COL. ..

[@RonHudgens-ck5qe]

PS THEY WERE NOT ON A GUIDED HUNT

[@Patriot2332]

I agree, in fact they should open bear hunting back up in the lower 48, the population is really booming and they have no fear of humans! We are getting Grizzlies coming out of Canada too because they are getting over populated there. Maulings are getting more frequent

[@60nygal]

Disgusting no hunt a gun and unsuspecting creature. Shot multiple times laying there suffering ..you had no shot. But hell who cares right ,? It's only a troublesome bear ? 🐻 Sorry I find that video sickening

[@paulthomasshepherd5156]

@@60nygal This woman that killed that bear for the pleasure of killing is a disgrace to humanity.

She shoots an unsuspecting creature snd misses a kill shot. Instead shoots as if it was target practice. You should be ashamed !!!

[@kiYAKER741]

In BC it's illegal to shoot any animal in the water when hunting.

There is a distinct difference between swimming and in the water.. This was a legal kill anywhere.

[@mjojrjr6231]

I was wondering if they can just scare the bear by firing a shot to scare it off and not coming back.

You think the bear lives under her house and doesn’t walk around the area?

I noticed both of you using double rifles. That’s class. What calibers are they? And congratulations on your bear 🐻.

[@bessiemann7468]

Such a big bear. What a shame to kill him

[@RyMac87]

Predator management is scientific and just as important as managing all other species of wildlife. Do you like seeing deer fawns, elk and moose calves? Guess who eats them? That cute bear.

Bet that the lady was shooting a .375 H&H, since it is the biggest bearable recoil caliber. Pun was accident

​@@PalmnutzWhy would you shoot a 45-70 in a double rifle. Marlin 1895 offers 7 shots.

[@H43339]

​@bastardo1418 I agree but I was just commenting on the 45-70. I have never heard of or seen a Double Rifle made in the 45-70 cartridge. They are usually chambered in the classics, 375 H&H, 416,450,500 ect.ect.

@@H43339 If I'm going to be carrying the bulk and weight, the rifle is going to hold more than 2 rounds.

[@DavidCentaura]

I don’t see a problem bear if you have to go after it on a boat away from your residence. He was feeding on a moose carcass, not your garbage or livestock.

[@smitbar11]

If the camera lens is not distorting anything, those claws look longer than most grizzly bears. "The easier to give you multiple life threatening deep lacerations, my child."

[@willstuart4504]

I don't normally comment on Hunting videos and I don't actually have issues with hunting animals for food or life and death situations.... But there was something about watching this bear completely helpless as it was coming to shore, only to be Hammered the moment it touches land. 😒 huh...?? Didn't feel like "hunting" a bad bear that was encroaching on ur home, just my personal opinion, but just didn't sit well with me.

[@justthrowitgolf]

agreed

[@georgemurphy9910]

Thanks for sharing your experience with these people on your journey 👍👍🙏

[@barryhennessy282]

God did not put that Bear on this planet for you to destroy it... it's a big contribution to the ecosystem.... that Bear loved it's life. Just like you 😢 shame.

[@PotbellyPunch]

what is the predator of the bear? maybe a bigger bear, but its actually humans hunting responsibly

NOT a problem bear, IMHO. Disgusting hunt and kill. Way to make it suffer. You live in Alaska, there will be bears around. Across the water, feeding on a carcass, and then leaving in the opposite direction, THAT is a problem?!

[@Fth363]

Beautifully done young lady👍 I've always been torn and had conflicted feelings.... One hand It's one of god's creatures, But on the other It's a potential menace, especially if it's near a camp site Where the Bear is used to people. It was a difficult choice but you made the right one.... Now she just needs to work on her aim😉👍

[@LuvBorderCollies]

Back in the 1960's there was chatter in outdoor magazines about bears getting way too aggressive in areas where hunting was stopped. As now back then the idea of harassing bears to put fear back into them came up. Don't recall if that was tried or not. Rifle launched grenades seem like a viable choice for harassment.

[@NomenClature-o8s]

I’m glad you’re upset. This was a legal hunt. Go cry elsewhere.

[@timhenderson6035]

Just because they aren’t hunting the way you think they should does mean they are evil people, I don’t think I live the way you do does that mean I’m evil?

[@hordesCoffee]

I'm confused How is this the problem bear. What if you shot the wrong bear. I can't believe you actually drank the chief's water and went on a boat hunt. Do, you think the chief 🤔 would approve

[@timhenderson6035]

You’re watching the wrong video

[@hordesCoffee]

Just before shooting the supposed Problem Bear? You guys went to the Chiefs Well and drank his enriched water. Then, you hunted all day. Couldn't find the bear. So, you shot another and named it the" Problem Bear 🐻" . That's the original I saw

[@hordesCoffee]

For your information. It isn't wish to drink sacrade water that the Elder Chief uses everyday. I know these thing's I'm partially Cherokee.

[@richardmarts2432]

I'm confused. The story starts with a bear getting too close to their home and business so they go out and kill any bear??

[@tnteyebusters3311]

That bear can feed many families

[@JAYFULFILMZ]

The bear was getting too close but y’all had to take a helicopter, a boat & search relentlessly to find it! Yea… the bear was the one getting too close 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@WillieLee-xf6xd]

Did you watch the whole thing?

[@PotbellyPunch]

@@WillieLee-xf6xd lmao it literally says its illegal to fly and hunt on the same day and there was no helicopter. They used a boat because bears are easier to spot on the edge of the water.

[@WillieLee-xf6xd]

@PotbellyPunch I hated to see this big old Bear get shot down...BUT I don't live in Alaska, and they seem to know what was up.

[@justicewillprevail1106]

Bear was just being a bear minding its own business. It's a shame he lost his life bc some human enjoys hunting for large animals.
