Huge grizzly bear hunting down an elk!

- Late in Sept of 2019, while monitoring this resident female bear as she moved through the area, she caught wind of an elk carcass from about 5 km away. Watching her track and wind the air was amazing, traveling with a purose to get to her prize. At this stage she already was huge with about six weeks to go prior to heading for the den. She had emerged that spring with her three two year old cubs, they were dispersed with the help of the presense of a male who ended up mating with her. After the mating season she now had only one belly to fill and fill it she did. Getting to this carcass was going to top her off and ensure that she'd be having cubs that winter.
As she got closer to the carcass she started picking up the scent of competition as she wasn't the first and only bear on site. A young sow with a yearling cub had found it first but was chased off by a good size young male, with contact being made as she attempted to protect the elk and her cub. In a quick squirmish the male dominated her without inflicting any damage. She retreated but would return when he would nap or head for water. With our big female now in the vicinity, she moved in on the carcass without any contention, with the other bears seemingly giving her, her space. Over the next few days the four grizzlies took turns feeding without any further altercations, but it was the female that took down the bulk of the meat. Needless to say she increased in size and weight, having incredible fat storage for a healthy pregnancy and hibernation.....giving birth to two cubs in the den in 2020.

Excellent video! I esp. loved the part where she was "tasting" the air..... love bears!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would have a heart attack, if i saw that massive killing machine, in front of me! Her front paws claws, remind me of Edward Scissorhands! 😂😂
Good be one
Looks snuggly lol
🤣🤣
Also, bears are incredibly strong, incredibly fast. It's deceptive. They leisurely move around sniffing out roots and eating plants. But in a heartbeat they can really torque it up, run, fight, defend cubs, climb rocks, swim, pull down prey. Serious strength.
She looks so happy when she finally gets there
Lord almighty she's a huge and stunning bear live long and safe roam free and wild as nature intended.
As massive as she is, she can probably cover ground like a sprinter. They are deceptively fast.
Great video and great camera work!
Thanks 👍
Such a classic grizzly look: dish face, shoulder hump, little ears. To see her lumber all its hard to believe that she could run like the wind….
oh buddy best believe they can they are so fast in short bursts
Nice observation and well said 👍
Really I have heard they can run fast for some time knot just short bursts with is True.I am sure there is some one who can tell me 😊
@@michaelshanahan4042 Put it this way: NEVER try to outrun a bear. Ever.
Except for the man made colar. It screams human intervention in the name of science. Find a better way
No doubt she is a Goliath Grizzly! Very patient and cautious. Great work BG🇨🇦👍🇺🇲
Big mama, she is stunning ❤️🐻
I love her size and agility! When she climbed up the slope, it didn't appear that she disturbed the landscape! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Like I have said before. Please keep up you incredible work.
AND THANK FOR POSTING EVERY TIME THESE BEAUTYFULL FILMS OF MY FAVORITE SUBJECTS 🐻🐻🐹🐻
Thank you very much!
Awesome. Have spent a lotta years hunting in the mountains and bush that these great animals inhabit. Have been quit close to a lotta grizzly and have thank god never run into an agressive bear. They are magnificent creatures
One of the top world predators yet looks so cute and cuddly. Great video. Stay safe 🇨🇦🐻
Thanks 👍
Your photography is stunning! Great stuff!
Fascinating. Glad all four got some sustenance. The cub looked very roly-poly.
The young male easily dominated the mother "without hurting her." I don't know why this surprised me & got my attention. I guess I've always assumed these battles were _always_ no-holds-barred. But it sounds like they often involve just enough force to get the point across, displaying, one might even say, "restraint?"
Did the mother charge primarily to give the cub a chance to get to safety or do you think she was truly primarily trying to hold onto the food for them?
Combination of both protect her cub and the meal. She initiated the contact and got thrown down quick. She even initiated round two, he would of just ignored her and went straight to the carcass and claimed it. There's usually a lot of posturing and noise with little to no contact. Obviously it was that bad because she returned several times and at least got some of it.
That's awesome. Does anyone else remember when brown bears were incredibly rare to see? Same with bald eagles, now I see them regularly even down here in the AZ desert.
This footage was shot in Arizona?
@@spiderreed350 no, Montana probably. I meant I see a lot of eagles in Arizona. Even 20years ago it was an incredibly rare sight. Grizzlies were rare outside of Yellowstone 20 years ago. Now they both seem to be everywhere, figuratively speaking.
We got Eagles in Alabama. And a few Black Bears. When I was a kid in the 70s just seeing a Deer was rare
@@9HighFlyer9 Actually this was shot in Kananaskis Alberta
@@tdvwest9514 ok, so far, upper, northern Montana then
Beautiful footage! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing with us! Where did the elk carcass come from? Roadkill?
Yes, roadkill was routinely stashed well away from human activity and it was up to the bears to find....didn't take them long.
Such a pretty young lady, much love to them all!! 😍
She's beautiful
She is! Should have new cubs this spring as well.
@@TheBearGuyCanada looking forward to you sharing that footage
Watching her gain elevation as a benefit taught me something new :)
Same reasons lions and other big cats get up on higher ground!
Thanks for clear viewable videos.She is a magnificent bear.
Yes, thanks
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing footage
Glad you liked it!
Whoa! She is a big bear. How old are they when you put collars on them? That in itself must be pretty exciting to do and actually get to touch them.
Once they go out on their own. Usually the males will leave mom's range at about 3-4 whereas the female cubs will remain and overlap the area. Depending on the size of the sub adult, they can get a ear transmitter and eventually a collar. The collar allows staff to intercept situations in which bears and people come together. In most cases the bear is shewed on to quieter locations with less activity. But its more about managing the people from doing silly things and allowing the bear to continue doing it's thing.
First time I’ve seen a bear with a hearing aid.
Wow that's a huge female and I'm also glad the male juvenile didn't hurt the momma bear😎🤙
What a big girl..such a beauty
Great video. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent photos of one of my favorite relatives. Aho.
Mine too!
Great videos
Glad you like them!
beatiful footprint.. 👏
i have a question;
- How many deer would a bear hunt before dying?
Uh....well it depends....Grizzlies are omnivores, like most bears. So they will eat almost anything, actually hunting and killing a deer is a lot of work and not always successful. Every bear is different. Also where they live and what food is available to them. They are quite capable of killing several deer or elk through out they lives. But they will spend hours in a blueberry patch or says on a mountain side eating morhs....theres a great video on the RUclips of a Grizzly chasing down a caribou for miles before finally killing it..
Lots of awesome videos to watch ❤️.
Glad you like them!
Beautiful bear
She sure is
She doesn't walk, she wobbles lol
Who ever is recording they are pretty brave
Great work, getting all that footage of the big female closing in on the prize. Do you think that she could be pregnant? I’m a bit surprised that the young boar was able to dominate the sow so quickly.
It was her off season from cubs, meaning she booted her three 2 year old cubs in the spring of this video year, and returned to mating and trying to build her health back up. Their embryos are so small that the weight gain is insignificant. The crazy thing about bears is they have delayed implantation, meaning they won't implant until she reaches good health, if she is not healthy enough the body absorbs the embryo. If she is in good health, than her body will determine if she'll have one, two, or three. She went to den the year of the video and emerged with two in the spring, born in February.
Where was this?
I love watching the bears in their natural habitat and I was actually happy that the four year old made it to size. 🙏 I have not watched enough to know if he made it further but I will definitely watch more vids. 🥰🌹 God bless and praise Christ Jesus always 💯.
vile religious crap
Is a tag really necessary ?
Tags and collar... You'd think they'd come up with a better system, like an enhanced subdermal mini-meter.
Unfortunately to get a strong signal in a mountainous region so you can track the bear, you need a battery that will be hardy and last. As cumbersome as they look, they don't impede the bear at all, just more so upset photographers more than anything. I know in Europe they were capturing bears and inserting a small thermos like transmitter into the abdomine of grizzlies, hugely invasive. The bears were left to recover in the wild after having surgery, and bears are dirty animals. The concern would be infections, or going into septic shock and dying, I'd hate to see this and sickens me to hear this was done. With the collars, bears can be monitored when their homerange is flooded with human activity like a Park setting with hikers and campers. By being able to monitor and work with the bears, it allows staff to be able to stay ahead of a bad situation from happening, usually meaning getting and keeping people back and allow the bear to travel through and feed. Anytime a bear is collared the greatest care is taken and the priority is that of the bear itself.
Amazing sense of smell!!
What an amazing, powerful animal!
How incredible is that. That drool 😰
Bear: "hey did you see an elk come thru here"?....yep about 2 days ago and he ask us to shoot you when you arrived.😅😅😅😅
Great video. Where was this?
Alberta.
@@TheBearGuyCanada ---- Many people in the English speaking world outside of Canada, and that includes much of the USA, do NOT know where "Alberta" is, or what it is. It is a province of Canada. Many countries of the world have animosity within their regions, Spain with its Basques, Italy with Sicily, Germany with Bavaria, Britain with Scotland, the UK with Northern Ireland, even the USA Southern States have a separatist attitude that goes back to the US Civil War. I could go on here. Identifying the location of this video as "Alberta" would be like identifying the Bears in the Russian Far East as Kamchatka or Siberia or Sakhalin Island. Ultimately it is Russia, or at least Eastern Russia, and until British Columbia and Alberta settles their confederation differences with Ottawa and Ontario / Quebec (if they ever do) it is still Canada, or more accurately, Western Canada, with west spelled with a capital W to indicate its "uniqueness" in Canada, for sure as heck Ontario and Quebec tout their "uniqueness" and "special status" within Canada.
This footage was shot in Arizona ?
no grizzly bears in Arizona....from Alberta, Canada.
Weary or wary?
Amazing , thanks for share
Thanks for visiting
Hello....'Grizzly Man' ' !
Grizzlies like this the reason you don't see too many Bigfoot around.
Or elk
Is she pregnant? That's the biggest bear I've ever seen!
She went into den pregnant with her body obviously determining she was healthy enough. Read the video discription, it will tell you everything. She ended up giving birth to two cubs.
@@TheBearGuyCanada In the video description you say the cubs were dispersed with the help of a male. I'm not that familiar with bear behavior and lingo. I take "dispersed" as meNonh they were run off by the male. Is that right? They weren't killed or eaten? I know that happens at times when males want to mate with a female.
The elk carkus provided rich nutritious food for several bears.
Do you guys know how heavy she was at that point? I wouldn't be surprised if you say she was 500 pounds... at least.
More like 400 and change. Structuarlly she'll nver hit 500, but she is massive for a female inland grizz that doesn't get salmon.
Great live story...
Ok, I am not the bear expert. How do you know she is not just walking and chilling
Cause I was there, worked with her daily, and knew why she was in the area. You get to know their routines and patterns.
You are a great person ❤️ I learn so much from you and your posts. I'll never get to the mountains again but but watching your posts brings me back to the wonderful days I was able to go
Do you have dare hier walking or running or making sports?!
You certain she isn’t looking for the one holding the camera? I’d be using a drone.
LOL, nope......she is completely crosswind to the carcass that she smells, but also is trying to figure out what bear is on it. She won't be running in on it if it's detremental to her well being. But she knew me, my truck very well.....but she also knew this back area was hers and I wouldn't be engaging with any aversion.
Is this Canada or US?
Canada.
hunting down...a carcass lol
Bears are so CUTE !!!!
🎉 Besides sensing the other bears…she probably got a whiff of you, too‼️
She didn't care about me. She was in a location that she knew I wouldn't be engaging with her, this area was closed off for the bears. She knew there was a carcass, but also knew competition was there as well.
Well she certainly isn't starving to death! 😮
All animals hunt something - We just go after “Piggly-Wiggly” ! 🤗
👍💪🐻
Maybe a cougar carcass?
Would have been a great video projector.
Wow is she big.she appears Black in color.
Giant giant bear!
Besrw my fav mammal
Fierce but CUTE.
The grizzly guy
That male looks bigger than even her though
its interesting that the world is full of monitoring. some via individual devices others get stalked via satellites from companys and governments.
Unless they are faraway
She doesn’t look hungry
She was a full girl, but she won't turn down more
She's protected, she's collared and in the database B#____
It seems, as long as she can eat nonstop and have a boyfriend during estrus, she’s happy and content! Yikes, those sound like human traits😂😂.
Size matters.
Eating good
I ❤❤ fat bears.
Now we know why grizzlies are no longer roaming Colorado, not even in San Juan national forest ! Last one Ed Wiseman killed in 79 with a simple bow arrow !
They got pushed back to the northern Rockies, Yellowstone and Glacier National park. Can’t exactly have creatures like this living near big population centers when we’re supposed to be the apex predators
All of that was incredible. Your work is absolutely unbelievable and totally fantastic. In this one alone, You explained the entire ladder of the Social Order & everything that played Out in Six minutes of Great filming that took Day's plus oh so many innumerable Hour's. All Your Subjects were fantastic specimens of Their Species. So Thank You Many Times over? For giving US, these Great Videos. 👍👍🤔🤔🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🐻🐻🐻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯
Thank you!
This is a General Plea too the Comments section's of these Down load's, and a request that there always be the option of Translation too English along with their Comments. Please, Please 🥺🥺 OH please.
Does anyone have info on 399 and her cubs haven't heard or seen anything for sometime
Last I heard they were denning
@@deborahselincourt8060 oh thank you Deborah for letting me know can you tell me when you heard also if you find out anymore info could you let me know many thanks there's been nothing on ytube about them 😀
What’s up with the neck collar and ear tag ? Humans can’t leave anything wild well enough alone what a shame would have like to have seen her totally left alone to hunt in the wild
They are tagged & collared to monitor where they are.Sometimes predation occurs on livestock or people & these collars can identify which bear is responsible.Also since bears have a wide range it also t r acts if it still alive,injured or dead
The collar is a SIN
The State must be paying for the diesel your wasting leaving the truck running for no reason.
Province....and gas.
I want her to have that elk❤️
WHAT CAUSED YOU TO DO ONLY A FIEW SNAP SHOTS. Why not put a video some where in a small area peeking through the trees witch would be some what?
The pics are off a wildlife cam, wasn't there to get video. Those were from over the 3-4 days
Yeah you are right until you get too see one up close you don’t know how hard you’re hart is pumping even if you have a big gun
How did that female bear get so big n fat she was humungous her gut was almost touching the ground lol
She was by far the biggest female in the valley......years of getting to the roadkill first
Looks small
For an interior female grizz in Alberta, she's huge. Not too many other ladies get her size.
Shows pregnant and hungry
Not a small animal. Some people think that they couldn't survive in Africa because of lions and hyenas lol 😂
The thick fur and skin...the powerful torsos...the incredible size and strength. After her first fight with either group neither animal would dare get close enough to engage.
I’ve seen bigger. Many grizz encounters hiking solo around Banff. One animal to be respected, not feared.
🐻
Wary not weary
And your are tracking her. Boy, I hate seeing cow tags in wildlife ears!
Rather have Elk any day they keep grass ate down Bears do nothin but Kill
Jesus is Lord
Автор жулик!
Bears are disgusting vile creatures
So are internet trolls!
