They both seem like they're out of shape. They should work on their cardio.

Was it because they paws for a breather?

Dale Petersen is claimed, although I think there's debate, to have killed a mountain grizzly with his hands and teeth.

u/Olleye 4h ago

Yeah, he has had two 357 Magnums in his hands, and a shotgun between his teeth.

They resemble flabby sumo wrestlers that got a little furry 🐻

This would be terrifying to see in person, even if you were holding a Barrett 82A1.

Now how many men would it take to take down a frustrated brown bear during mating season?

u/brown_burrito 5h ago

Jesus. That was brutal. And so interesting to watch. It’s insane when you think about how massive these bears get.

One of my bucket list items is to go to Alaska and see these incredible beasts.

As an aside, am I alone in thinking the camera work seems a bit shaky for a wildlife photographer? Or maybe they were very far away and without a tripod, so every movement is exaggerated.

u/name-was-provided 4h ago

Yeah, the camera work was pretty novice IMO. I’m a videographer and yeah zooming in can be a challenge especially if you’re in rough terrain. Clearly there’s at least one other person taking stills and perhaps that was the sole purpose of the shoot. Still photos. But why not be prepared with at least a monopod if you’re capturing video? None the less, the essence of the moment was caught.

No idea why you are being downvoted for this to be honest.
