Hi MikePal, I've reviewed this video a few more times showing it to spouse and my two daughters, all were thoroughly disgusted by the brutality of the kill. I went looking to see who might have been responsible for the camera work, the only thing indicated was "It is unclear where or when the video was recorded." This movie strikes me as a real a setup, and those involved may very well sold their souls to the Animal Defense League who released it. There was no reason for that first bullet not to have found that bear's boiler room, save that his hind quarters were deliberately targeted in order to produce the dramatic effect which resulted. As well, It would appear that the follow up shoot which found the same part of the body, was equally deliberate. There is no doubt in my mind that the trigger man was a marksman, and new exactly what he was doing. I suspect they paid all involved well.

Actually you do have a point. I remember this was done before with the clubbing of the seal by a Canadian but producers were from outside of country with agenda for hunter/firearm disarmament; yes i know its sounds like a conspiracy however if you think about it, the name of the hunter should've leaked by now or give it a couple more weeks; just like Cecil incident.

however there is something off about that video, nothing concrete surfaced yet. who's actually behind the whole incident. especially this guy (picture) should have the story if he is part of the hunt. he seems to be either a guide or an observer and not too pleased about it.

The history of the video is well known in some circles and the identity of the guides, the hunter and the show that they were taping the hunt for are being kept under wraps. The only editing that was done was to shorten the video for a 15 minutes down to less than 2.

There is no conspiracy, just lots of shame.

^^^^ IMO, if this was true all the names would have been out there a while ago. All we have is someone in a BC forum saying that a friends of a friend of a friend knows the guys and the story and everyone keep telling the same BS, so we really don't know anything.

Before we can lend any credence to the "conspiracy" theory that it's an animal rights plot to discredit hunting and was done on purpose,it will need to be proven beyond ANY doubt with sworn witness statements. There can not be one shred of evidence to the contrary. It must be "iron-clad,smoking-gun" irrefutable with no means of escape for perpetrators. Otherwise,conspiracy theorists will just be blowing a lot of hot air.

Well..when/if you take a video of your Hunt this season and you would be uncomfortable showing to your mother, do us all a favour and don't post it on the internet....

MikePal, there is a Global News site that leads with "WARNING(graphic content)...." that has a follow up video below the one of the grizzly hunt, where these staunch defenders of wildlife admit that the footage of this particular grizzly bear hunt was taken a couple of years ago in Alaska. I think that says it all.

I understand that's all we have, "Patience", and we are pretty hopeless, but during this time the Antis act and we all know what's happen to the one that just seat and wait.....
