He's already changed his story from when this originally came to light to make himself look better, Bear didn't even know he was there. It came in to the elk calls in a hurry, stopped well before the hunter and turned broadside, looking for the source of the calls, which had obviously stopped. He stepped out from behind a tree and shot it. BS move as the bear could have just moved off, he just killed a bear for doing bear things. I'm all for protecting yourself, but this instance smells really funny to me. Him taking grip and grins and using the pics for his ####ty chineseium arrow company kind of reinforces it.
Close call in Northern AB

The plot thickens...promoting his product and just happens to be in GB country and a GB comes his way.
Getting a broadside shot on a charging GB is an amazing feat *sic* in defending his safety.
I am sure the Alberta Conservation Office will be looking at this a lot closer in the coming days and weeks ahead.
Any bets on when the story starts to change ?
didn't the incident already get looked at by fish cops at the scene right after it happened? I know once I calmed down I might want a pic also, are they supposed to be sad about surviving a near catastrophic day? just playing devils advocate, sounds to me like the article suggested it had already been looked at...
not sure anyone dumb enough to go kill a grizzly then pose with it then post it online then wait for the fish cops to show up, I mean don't get me wrong, just looking at how many brain cells have been lost to people breathing their own exhausts over the plandemic you can see it just driving on the roads every day now lol....so it could happen they are that dumb, I'm not getting that vibe here though, could be young guys pretty jacked about making it through another day?

do you guys really think that this story would be told in public domains if conservation officers had not already cleared the guy of any wrongdoing?
Just because he is selling hunting gear his story needs to be questioned?
Man some of you guys like to pick apart anything you can to stir up controversy LOL
I have a general rule wth bears..... if they seem me from 50 yards away and aren't running the other direction..... they get one warning shot.... the next are all business. Don't much care what kind of bear it is.

Well, after reading your post, I thought I better read the article again to see if I was going to change my mind...but nope still convinced there was no charge.
First paragraph of the story..."then it made eye contact with Coward again" ...in a bear charge you will have that bears total undivided attention and eye contact wont be a secondary issue ever!!!
Second paragraph "he aimed his nocked arrow and fully drawn compound bow a few feet ahead of the bear quickly trotting towards him"...first of all a bear charging is a straight at you situation and would require a straight at it sighting shot...a bear angling away from you would need a "few feet lead" ...again not a charge....and the most convincing few words of the article again are "quickly TROTTING"...a trotting bear is just ambling around, not in a charge at all.
I didnt read the rest of the article again as I didnt need to to still be convinced there was no charge.

Well Karen, the guy is alive and the grizzly is dead. What's wrong with you man?.....
If you were there, you probably would have thrown sh1t into the bears eyes, as there would have been a lot of it.
DO NOT EVER JUDGE SOMEONE FOR USING DEADLY FORCE, UNLESS YOU ARE THERE AS WELL!
FFS!

Funny how you're trying to imply cowardice when I'm saying there would have been a large chance for no incident even with the bear in close proximity while you are implying you would shoot any bear that comes near you out of fear. Pretty sure you're the coward bud lol
I hunt in grizz territory. Have been very near them plenty of times, and have had to use bear spray on two separate occasions. This guy shot a bear broadside. Explain how that happens in a charge.

Hey Newbie!
First of all I never stated you were a coward, you said this. I said you would have sh1t yourself and I stand by that.
Second, Hunting in grizzly country with a rifle is much different than a bow & arrow. An arrow kills by hemorrhage not shock, a animal struck with an arrow or bolt can live from six seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on which organs are hit. Lots of damage can result in this time frame from a grizzly charge and attack. A firearm can kill instantly if a brain/spine shot has been delivered.
This young man made a decision in a few seconds I'm sure, I believe he did what he felt was right at the time. And who are you to judge him?.....
This bear may have wondered off without charging, maybe the grizzly would have mauled and killed this fellow. The bottom line is he made a decision and it appears the Alberta Fish & Wildlife Officers have investigated and are satisfied it was a justified kill. I'm sure the hunter feared for his life with grievous bodily harm and/or death. It's a decision not to be made hastily, but is sometimes a split second one.
Third, I am glad for you that you have deployed bear spray and survived, my personal believe is bear spray isn't 100 percent effective with wind direction and a bears tolerance of the spray can vary. Bear spray is for snowflakes at best.
Yes he shot the bear broadside, so what! He obviously feared for his safety and decided to put the odds in his favor. Apparently it worked, the bear is dead and he is unscathed.
Now, do I think they should have taken a harvest photo with the bear? No I don't, but this does not give you the right to call him out. It makes you sound like a stupid Liberal/NDP b@g-licker. Wise up if you are going to comment on this gun sight.
If you are curious as to my background, I am a veteran hunting guide and a retired Natural Resource Officer. Unfortunately I have had to destroy a few grizzlies and black bears that have decided to charge me, my hunters or coworkers. Sometimes bears need to be killed. They are unpredictably unpredictable.
I did not read or see anywhere this particular grizzly bear charged. And so what if it didn't. I am certain there are many here on this sight who would have also made a decision to try and kill the bear.
If Alberta and British Columbia wouldn't have closed grizzly hunting due to the outcry from snowflakes, maybe this bear would have a little more fear and respect for humans. We are the apex predator, not the grizzly bear. Grizzly bears can be hunted with the current sustainable numbers. The do-gooders will have people believing they are endangered, which is absolute hogwash.
Apparently, there are no longer any grizzly bears in Alberta. The floozie on TV said so.
Now, who gets the hide?
I believe that it will end up at the RAM in Edmonton after a full necropsy.
I wonder how much rub is on the carcass.
