Probably best to shoot larger caliber rifles with heavier bullets.

It's pretty important to put a bear down on the beach and not let them get into the brush and stuff on the hill sides.

We were really lucky, fortunate to find Benton's Bear as a perfect double lung shot, but it went quite a way.

He's up the side of the hill and they're just almost

impossible to find so i think big rifles and heavy bullets and try to break some bones and put them down

right right on the beach is probably the best thing to do well you don't get joseph this week and you don't get the smooth, buttery voice, but you get me.

I'm Austin Brown, and this is for the Backcountry podcast.

So we're live again from the Ventress with Travis, JJ, and JP.

JP's new to me, but we're getting used to each other, right, JP?

Yes, sir. All right. Hey, this week we're back up here me, but we're getting used to each other, right, JP? All right.

This week we're back up here hunting bears again.

We came in June of 2024.

Some of these guys, we were talking about the story when we got home and the trip,

and they said, hey, let's rebook this deal.

And so we've got Jared and his boy Benton, Matt Spence, who you guys have all talked to

before, his brother Will, and our good buddy, Tyler.

So we're all here this time on the Ventress up here hunting bears.

Couple of his first time.

Tyler, your first time to Alaska, right?

Jared, you've been here before?

I have.

Have you?
