/\ Thanks for showing me the post. To be honest being killed by a brown bear is worst than being killed by big cats and even a polar bear.
Brown bears strip prey of their flesh giving them a slow and painful death.

Forgot to mention, it is true that brown bears kill prey by biting their spine and shaking their neck and slowly stripping their flesh and similar to the polar bear but does not aim for the throat, head, and other vital areas (the areas where prey die fast) unlike its yellowish white cousin.

I have to correct myself here. Brown bears do attack the areas where the polar bear attack including the head and neck. They just do not aim to kill their prey quickly unlike a polar bear does.

USSURI BROWN BEAR:
Hunting behavior: The bear chases nearby red deer, wild boar, moose, and musk deer. It is known that large mammals occupy a significant place in the brown bear's diet, especially in the spring and during lean years. In some areas, this predator causes considerable damage to the population of ungulates (Yazan, 1972; Kucherenko, 1973 a, b). The hunting methods of the brown bear are not well studied. Over the years, we have managed to study 7 hunting cases by following tracks: 4 when tracking a non-hibernating bear, 2 of bears that had recently emerged from their dens, and 1 of a bear that had not yet entered its den. All the pursued animals, except for the wild boar hunted on March 30, 1975, were adults (over two years old):

BROWN BEAR HUNTING FOR MOOSE IN THE SOUTHERN TAIGA: RESULTS OF LONG-TERM CAMERA TRAP MONITORING
Abstract and Figures
Background. The paper presents data on the brown bear hunting for moose in the Central Forest Nature Reserve and adjacent areas. As part of a long-term camera trap monitoring, rare cases were obtained demonstrating the hunting behavior of bears in relation to moose. Material and methods. The work was performed on the basis of a big amount of data from camera traps for the period from 2010 to 2022. The main data analysis methods include circular statistics and analysis of daily activity patterns. Results. A total of 12 cases of hunting were recorded. In 11 of them, bears chased moose cows. In 7 cases, there were 1 or 2 yearling calves along with cows. In two cases the bears were large in size, in one case the bear was small, and in the rest they were medium. Two hunts were successful, 5 were not successful, and in the other cases the result is not known. Most hunts took place in the morning (n = 4) or evening (n = 5) hours. Eight hunts were recorded in spring, 3 in summer, and 1 in autumn. The average time between bear and moose, excluding hiding, was 16,55 ± 4,68 s. The daily activity patterns of bear and moose were strongly overlapped ( 4 ˆΔ = 0,76), especially in the case of moose cows with calves ( 4 ˆΔ = 0,81) and solitary moose cows ( 4 ˆΔ = 0,79). No significant differences were found between bear and moose activity levels. Conclusions. In general, according to the data of camera traps, the brown bear demonstrated a high degree of specialization in relation to the prey of solitary cows and yearling calves in the spring.
