If you want to see how big Keith Chambers' brown bear really was, click the link below. The Hunting Report got his video loaded.
Scroll down a little and click on the bear. Give it time to load, then turn the volume up and enjoy. Anybody who's been there will appreciate the comments after the shooting. It looks pretty exciting to me, but I'd sure like to hear what you all think of it.

I counted 5, sure would like to know what they were using as well. I saw 3 bullet strikes pretty clear. They might have been a little excited and missed with a couple of shots.

Thanks for the clip; that's an impressive bear and the vid actually gives some good perspective.

Nice Big Bear.
Thanks for the link to the video.

Thanks everybody for the positive response. To answer some of your questions, Keith says he was shooting a .375 H&H and the guide, Riley Pitts, was shooting a Marlin Guide Gun in .45/70.

Keith fired 4 and Riley one. It doesn't get much more exciting than that.

And the video was shot from about 500 yds. away and hand-held. All-in-all an incredible sequence. It makes you want to go do it, doesn't it?

That is some incredible footage. That big bruin could have easily charged those guys at that distance and possibly been on them. That had to be an exilerating experience and what a great bear. Rodney.

this is why i love accuratereloading i might never get to do this myself so thanks for the great vido

Thanks for the link,great Bear

.. Since I,m in a pugilistic mood this morning I might as well stir the pot some .......

This isn,t ment to nit pick , or to deride the hunter ,, and I know that when the adrenalin is up people do weird things ...........Really odd things ...

BUT ,,, WHEN YOU JUST SECONDS BEFORE SHOT A THOUSAND POUND OMNIVORE ., ,. YOU [DO NOT ] GO WANDERING AROUND LOOKING FOR YOUR BRASS......

yOU DON,T THINK ABOUT BRASS!!

YOU KEEP YOUR EYES , EARS ,NOSE ECT FOCUSED ON THE TASK AT HAND . THAT IS MAKING SURE THE ANIMAL STAYS ON THE GROUND AND DOESN,T MOVE ....

To his credit the guide did great .......
And as I say gobbs of adrenalin sometimes cause the un disciplined to do odd things ......

People have been killed from not paying close attention to an animal that was on the ground ...

I was wonderin what he was doing fumbling with his gun after the shooting! I hope he wasn't looking for brass. I figured he was having a bad reload from all the nerves. I would be shaking in my boots after that. That hunt is #1 on my list. Awesome!

Wow!!!

Thank goodness that monster went the other way, awesome video and bear. I couldn't believe the size of that thing.

That is truly a monster Bear!
Any idea where abouts that was?

When I watched it I assumed he was reloading a full magazine and dropped one and lost his focus to look for it, I could be wrong?
