Archery Hunt for Brown Bear

Video: Alaskan Brown Bear Lured in With Predator Call

In this nerve-racking archery hunt, a couple of hunters manage to call in a brown bear.

Watch as Juan Garcia and master guide Sam Fejes manage to entice a massive Alaskan brown bear within just 12 yards before letting an arrow fly.

This dramatic footage, captured on Kodiak Island, Alaska, displays the intensity of a hunt for one of the largest predators in the world.

Similar to grizzly bear, Alaskan brown bears grow to gigantic proportions from feasting on salmon each year. Massive even for Alaska, this incredible bruin is currently the pending No. 2 Pope & Young Alaskan Brown Bear.

Though I've heard of hunters using predator calls to lure bears into shooting range, I've never actually seen it done before I saw this video. Maybe that's something I need to try out next bear season...
