You bet this is the range exactly. They like to even be closer if possible, and they are with you lined in on the animal to back you up if you choose, the worse thing with alaska is the alders, if the brown bear gets in the alders its the worst scenario a hunter and guide can ask for. A wounded brown bear will lay down and try to fat plug and if you go in its dangerous,
So before the hunt even starts they talk to you about backing you up,
This is once again why the outfitters that take bow hunters are so respected there because of the no back up in order and the danger that exists, my outfitter will never take a bow hunter, he told me if he was 18 again he might but it aint worth it he told me,lol.
