It's still surreal to me that I even had the opportunity to hunt an Alaskan brown bear with my bow, let alone be so honored as to arrow the new World Record.
LOS ANGELES -- Keenly following the scent of "African Cats'' and "Chimpanzees,'' Disneynature's "Bears'' combines sweeping vistas and remarkably intimate wildlife photography to typically stirring effect as it documents a year in the life of a mother Alaskan brown bear and her two cubs.
They decided to replace the salmon model in the Alaskan brown bear diorama after consulting a museum ichthyologist, who determined that the fish needed to be recolored to an accurate shade based on the season represented.
This is what I had come to capture--a defining moment where this extreme huntress would put it all on the line for a chance to arrow one of North America's most dangerous creatures--the Alaskan brown bear.
The only reason to shoot higher velocities are to flatten the trajectory or to have extra power when hunting such dangerous critters as Alaskan Brown Bear and Cape buffalo--neither of which have been found in Idaho for several decades.
