Grizzley Bear Hunting – The Stalk, The Shoot, The Trophy Record
from:Grizzley bear hunting (also spelt Grizzly) is world famous in Alaska and is also known as Brown bear hunting. Brownies as they are also dubbed are very plentiful in certain Alaskan game management units. Grizzley bear hunting in Management Unit 9 for instance will be more than just a good day's harvest. Unit 9 has one of the largest populations of Grizzly bears (Brownies) in the world. In fact, the current world record grizzly bear was taken from Alaska Game Management Unit 21.
Although Grizzley bear and Brown bears seem to regarded as interchangeable, most guides and outfitters will tell you otherwise. Guides with years of experience say that Brownies live along the coastal regions (usually within 100 miles of the shoreline of Alaska). Grizzlies on the other hand live in the interior regions of the state. (North of the 62nd parallel). Having said that though, they are also quick to point out that Brownies and Grizzlies are genetically the same animal. The Brown bears tend to be bigger physically than those found Grizzley bear hunting, simply because the climate they live in is more temperate and they eat high protein, high fat salmon all year.
