2 bears, 2 guns, 10 seconds, 5 yards with the Schwantes Brothers

06/13/21 • 81 min

After our bear encounter, we heard from Mark Schwantes, a hunting guide over in Dillingham, AK . While hunting with his brothers Luke and David, they were surprised with a boar and a sow at 15 and 5 yards.

Within a matter of seconds, Mark dropped the sow at 15 yards with a rifle and his brother behind him shot the 9' boar at 5 yards with a 500 revolver and turned him with one shot.

We debate over the gun power vs the number of shots for bear protection and what we learned from bear hunting this year.

Here is their story.
