Alaskan Brown Bear

Bow hunter Juan Garcia and Master Guild Sam Fejes, go into the isolated wilderness of Kodiak Island, Alaska.  They are in pursuit of the largest land predator on earth.

Feel the intensity as Sam uses a predator call to lure a gigantic brown bear to within 12 yards of Juan’s PSE Omen Max.  Putting themselves into a calculated risk.  Sam and Juan maintain their composure as the bear approaches.  Producer and cameraman, Jake Latendresse, sits back from 20 yards away capturing the entire event as it unfolds.  Its intense, dramatic, rare and special…in fact, its unbelievable!

Special thanks to Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge for allowing us to film, but more importantly, thanks to them for their vision into the management system they have applied to enhance bear conservation.  Since the establishment of KNWR, the brown bear population has doubled in size, strongly led by the implementation of hunting as a tool to control the nature male bear density.  As a result, young bears thrive and have better opportunity to reach maturity.
