These videos are so well produced. This channel deserves a bigger following.

[@birdsandbirdys]

Ed Caspersen yup

[@af257]

We all need to care and protect wildlife and nature more and more. We should spread more information about it through social medias not just sharing stupid selfies... Thank you for your amazing work, pictures and videos!

[@sagnikb7]

Omg the rock thing was so awesome and that 🐻 was so adorable! , and I am very happy that the grizzly hunt trophy has stopped! Good job john 🤘

[@ElementsSti]

Thank you for the amazing footage and for protecting this beautiful animals.

[@birdsandbirdys]

Amaizng big fan and love nature photographer

[@marcalan1198]

Thank you John Marriott for all you do for the conservation of grizzly bears. it takes people like you to preserve the wildlife for bears to be around forever. Thanks again John.👍👍

[@ziibinini]

This is easily the best youtube channel I have ever found. Insanely clean production quality and very informative; It also helps that I love wildlife photography!

[@colsomvirco3287]

World wants more people like u.u are doing so much for these animals who cant speak u are their voice.Hats off to u sir😄😆😊

[@HighlandLassie]

I could really watch these bears as they have such great personalities. You have really captured their spirit :)

[@TheGoldenBone]

That’s wonderful that the best hunting was stopped. You should be so proud

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

60% in reduction of wildlife around the world. The US has about 5% of its population that hunts. That’s down 50% in the last 50 years. With such a decline in hunting, some wonder how the cost of conservation will be paid for in the US. I’m obviously a hunter but I am opposed to strictly trophy hunting. If you can’t or don’t eat it don’t shoot it. I’m speaking for remote Alaska when I say some people fish and hunt for substance. A large portion of their food comes from what they harvest. Most hunters care about the wildlife and it’s protection. With all that out of the way I also wanted state that some of the footage in this video was amazing. We live on an island right right next to Admiralty island and dealing with brown bears is just a part of life. They are so interesting to watch. We brought over some bags of compost mixture and caught a big bear tearing into it. I guess it smelled good to him. I enjoyed the video.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

EXPOSED with John E. Marriott I’ll check it out for sure.

[@savewldlife339]

Such an eye opener. Shocking to hear there was only one bear conservation area in all of BC? That is absolutely disgusting to say the least. Thank you for your absolutely incredible videos, and your love and ongoing tenacity to bring vital focus to these animals. Thank you. Our government must wake up and make critical changes in order to sustain our wildlife. Awareness is key! Thank you again.

[@keithmacdonald4805]

Another great video and thank you so much for all you do for our wildlife!!

[@TheCaptainQuinn]

This is great John!

[@deborahwade602]

Fantastic video. I love the shot at 2:01-2:04, of Big Momma chillin' in the grass. As of mother of 3 myself, I can relate to how content she is, looking out upon her offspring. I just know she's thinking about, or watching them, even though the cubs aren't in the photo itself.

[@janemgolf]

I am already subscribed but hadn't realized that I could set notifications. Thank you for that tip. My favorite photo is of Casper at 7:29. I look forward to seeing more of her in future content. Thank you for all the conservation work that you do John.

[@macmcmillen6282]

Fantastic video. One of your best, IMO.

[@michalstoch]

You're doing a fantastic job John 👍

[@adamgregory6217]

I love the shot of big Muma at 4.43. Keep up the good work mate.

[@sybillewilkinson5083]

What a great video and so glad to hear the grizzly bear hunting has been stopped in BC. I loved all the shots but I think the one at 5.57 has to bee my most favourite.

[@huanchen1447]

Thank you for the contribution!

[@robertopedrazaruiz4877]

You can be proud of yourself. Too may photographers just limit their work to get nice pics and feed their ego. But you are protecting in an effective way your wonderful models. Congratulations!

[@dcrumrine1]

John my thanks go out to you and the organization. These bears are one of the most precious animals we have on earth. Between the grizzly and the wolf, you really capture the feeling of wild and free. Again thank you and keep it going with Exposed.

[@sharonjackson1200]

Great episode, beautiful pictures

[@lisalynch457]

Amazing! You are doing beautiful work.

[@johnd746]

Love what you do for wildlife. Thank you. And thank you for wonderful videos.

[@armchaircouch]

the balancing the rock!! ♥️ what on earth 😭

[@JornVangoidtsenhoven]

Excellent video, two thumbs up!

[@chops411]

Big fan of yours on Instagram glad I found this channel. Going to Alska to shot bears and I been watching all your videos for tips.

[@TereWild]

I LOVE ALL YOUR EPISODES!!!! such a great job! can you please tell me wich camera do you us for the videos? thanks!!

[@orvalreed7287]

As a hobby photographer I enjoy your photography but as a avid hunter I resent your demonstration of hunting. Hunters have a deep respect and love for the animals they hunt.

[@EXPOSEDWildlifeConservancy]

Hi Orval, thanks for your support! We are not against ethical hunting for sustenance, but we are against hunting for trophy and sport. As a photographer yourself and avid outdoors person, would you not rather return to a favourite spot to photograph the same animal again, and at the same time allow others to do the same rather than take that impressive animal to be displayed in your home? We appreciate hunters respect for the land, but urge you to take home an amazing photo to display rather than the the animal itself.

[@orvalreed7287]

@@EXPOSEDWildlifeConservancy the animals I take are not only trophies but food for the table that would include bears. Every animal I have ever taken was a trophy even the ones that didnt go on the wall. There are unethical hunters out there I agree at the same time there are unethical photographers out there who endanger themselves and others and the animals just for a photo to put on Instagram.

[@mattdett]

Loved the shot at 3:35!! Tones and colors are great. Would look great hanging up

[@MehdiMirian]

Really excited when you upload videos, keep doing all that amazing work you do!!!

[@MehdiMirian]

EXPOSED with John E. Marriott great to hear!!!

[@subhajitbhattacharjee7347]

Thank you John. You are an inspiration.

[@pauleklein5979]

John,thanks a lot for publishing your videos / Regards

[@B-kl8vj]

We should totally lock down regulations on who gets to enjoy our wild places, my vote is for your tour company to have exclusive access to all of the best spots.

[@YoA74]

I mean, the shot at 2:42 is something else ! What else to say ? Amazing amazing animals !

[@mattirambo2096]

Well done John! You're doing such great work, these videos are fantastic. Are you still doing photo tours in the interior?

[@davetreece6066]

[@brianneclarke6889]

This was very eye opening and encouraging to see all the progress that has been made so far to protect these beautiful creatures. The shot of Casper at 7:36 just melted my heart.

[@naomijean8544]

I love Big Mama at 1:45, what a special bear!

[@gregshauan6961]

[@kriscu16]

THANK YOU JOHN!!!

[@richardhilton2000]

In memory of "Big Mama" 2:02. Awesome series and look forward to more. Great work keep it up!!

[@bruceleventhal3292]

Such a great message John! While I truly appreciate the focus on for conservation rather than just another self-congratulatory photography vlog.

[@john660]

Thanks Bruce!

[@visual513]

Awesome episode, love the still at 3:34!

[@alejandrazubiriaperez6569]

Big Momma at 2:48 stole my heart, it would be such an honor to be able to look at her playful nature every day. All the prints are amazing though, thank you so much for your work in this.

[@KristenKabrin]

I love the image of little Casper at 7:34.

[@jodeycastricano8069]

These are all wonderful images, John & Co. Thank you so very much for the work you do for grizzlies, wolves and all free-living animals and the environment. I LOVE the image of Big Mama @ 2:03 and the Trifecta Grizzly image @ 2:11. Thanks, again!

[@briantooze3415]

[@heatherreser6629]

So many favorites! I'm so intrigued by that bear playing with the rock! time 2:43 I'm reminiscing about my time with the bears of coastal Katmai a year ago and going over my photos, remembering the unique personalities of each of the bears. They are such wonderful animals! Thanks for sharing your passion for them, and contributing to their protection!

[@charlygurrl64]

Loved this shot @4:22 pm. I would love to win this print.

[@henrymontalvo384]

The playfulness of the rock balancing at minute 2:37

[@christopherrhind7798]

[@elizabethannehin5429]

Deepest gratitude for you precious life work. My favorite, if there is such a possibility in such beauty, is Casper at 7:36. Always, Beth

[@isaiascisneros5712]

Awesome giveaway! Love the picture at 1:30

[@canonshooter2137]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Big Mama @1:43. My all-time fav photo in this video. All are gorgeous, but ya, that Big Mama is best.

[@fainzimmerman1392]

Love all your beautiful bear shots! Especially the mom with the triplets. "Big Momma" 1:54

[@MarkZane_WD]

Love the shot at 7:30, looking forward to hearing more about Casper!

[@kellymorrisongalan3697]

Another excellent episode. I like Big Mama's photo at 1:46. Would be lovely to have. Thanks for all you do.

[@selfaware4352]

3:34 is the powerful image I would love to have on my wall, if I win. A bear that is graceful, thoughtful, powerful, in repose in its habitat. Love it. Thanks!

[@jamesseward9263]

Are you still doing the photography tours for these bears? Thanks- Jim

[@janinebrooke2978]

Stunning image at 7:30.

[@bgilgoff]

Count me in John! I love the work you’re doing. My pick is 7:34 or there abouts with Casper and her mama. So adorable. I’d be thrilled to hang it on our wall.

[@angelawidenmaier767]

Thank you for all that you do for these amazing animals. I would love to win the print at 0.55. Right at the start. Gorgeous.

[@dianainselberg5323]

Love the shot at 7:29 (casper). Hope I win it!

[@rommelholmes8862]

Grizzlies, love the wild spirit!

[@willparsons32]

Wondering.... what size of lens do you use to photograph the Grizzlies? These are a HUGE beast of an animal... Seen them in Prince George at the landfill sight - These Monsters stand like the Eiffel Tower over top the Monster Truck 4x4 my uncle owned (made the truck look like a Tonka Toy! One swipe of that fellas paw and you'd look like a six pak of pork loin chops in the Butcher shop! I'm hoping the lens would prevent me from becoming a pork chop!

[@nickewanchuk9811]

The photo at 7:36 was so cute !

[@jamiewagner2396]

Big Momma at 2:02 is such a wonderful image - so sad to hear that she has disappeared. Congrats on your efforts to stop grizzly hunts in B.C.

[@rinofalvo2854]

2:38 is my favourite when butterballs mom attempted to balance the rock on her head. Moments like this are so rare and special. My favourite image is at :15 (near the start) with mom and the butterballs.

[@JS-rt8gm]

Beautiful footage

[@dannynash5713]

Incredible video and stills John! “Love the shot 3:32, hope I win it!”

[@crwildmb]

Thanks for the video, John! It was hard to chose my favourite photo because all of them are outstanding! I have to say 0:10 is the one I hope to win. The moment when that bear is splashing around with that fish is worth freezing into a picture.. a very precious moment. A beauty I want on my wall; as a photograph of a live bear 😃 rather than parts of a dead one 😞. Thanks for fighting for the bc grizzlies, and I really hope more land is left to the bears and wilderness. Let’s all keep the fight up! Thanks for your work... and thanks for the chance to win one of your prints!

[@evapollens2642]

I love that beautiful cub at 7.28 😍 I'd love to watch that cuty every single day 😀
