    Incredible video. This is the kind of stuff all the anti-hunters out there need to see and understand and contemplate. What a wonderful real-life example of tough deaths in nature which occur at the hands of predators, competition, exposure, sickness, etc.

    Makes broadheads and bullets seem pretty humane.

    This footage is about 15-20 years old. I remember seeing it on TV when I was younger in WA. The bear and her cubs ended up eating the bull. It was in AK. Survival of the fittest at it’s finest. The bou was either sick or hurt, I can’t remember.

  14. derek coggins says:

    of course the bear won although when a caribou can pick her up with his antlers it shows that he wasn’t goign down without a fight

    that is so asome

    Right place right time, I wish it would have been me with my camera, To catch that amazing footage on film is probably more satifing than ever harvesting either spiecies. If I would have had a rifle in my hand I would have saved that caribou’s life, and donated him to the grizzly and her cubs. I’ll bet that caribou would shake your hand and buy you a drink if he could. Anyway that is some of the best footage I’ve ever seen, thank’s for sharing it!

  17. Tyler says:

    i agree with jeff.

  18. Roy foster says:

    That is a fantastic piece of nature to catch on film . but who knows what happens when humans are not there or what people see who do not have a camera . lets just enjoy what we see wether its our own hunting or wildlife . Roy

    When went to yellowstone 2 years ago, just missed grizzly take on fully grown elk at northern end of park. Was told it was a titanic battle, where the elk flipped the grizzly completely over it with its antlers. Grizzly killed the elk, and I saw some video of the bear and a cub feeding on the carcass. Not sure if there is video of this somewhere or not.

    Awesome video – That Caribou put up quite a fight, considering an unarmed human would have been toast very quickly.

  21. Dave Tucker says:

    how could someone film that and think it is ethical.i know stuff happens like this all the time but to film it and let a useless grizzly kill a nice trophy like that.If it would have been me i would have shot that grizzly were he was.Sorry but to me thats a waste of a nice trophy caribou

  22. James says:

    Hey Dave, useless grizzly, you say? I don’t think so. I think there are many many more caribou in the world than grizzly bears. Did you see the cubs waiting behind the griz? The griz was probably a mama bear collecting groceries for her cubs. Nothing wrong with that.

    The video was awesome. It just goes to further my respect for both species, especially the griz. I started out thinking the bear would win if it ever got a clamp on the caribou’s neck and that’s just what it did.

    My takehome lesson is that the best way to survive a grizzly attack is to prevent it in the first place. It appears that not much can withstand the aggression of a determined grizzly. I think guns give us humans a false sense of security sometime.

    This video was taken by a wildlife photographer and her two sons several miles into Mt McKinley National Park in July 1974. My buddy and I were backpacking in the park and came across the caribou which had been wounded in the left hindquarter by wolves the day before. I was able to walk up to caribou and take Polariod pictures of it. Ten minutes later the sow and two cubs came by and the rest is history. I have Polariods of the fight (from a safe distance). The five of us witnessed this fantastic display of nature. Will never forget it.
