Im looking for a killer Grizzlybear movie

Im looking for a "killer Grizzlybear movie" i saw it when i was a kid.
Now I cant locate it,and I wanna know the name.
Its not a cartoon its real people/animals in it.
Its not Beastmaster.
its from 1970-1985 or something i beleave.

The plot is: A bunch of hunters tracks down a wounded bear.
One of the hunters say:
A wounded bear is more dangerous than an not wounded (or simular)

I remember one scene 2 horses are tied up agains a tree near a clif/mountain.
The bear scratches one of the horses in the ass or if he chop the head of.

All i remember is the bear comes close the horses, cut to the hunters above

the horses, a scream from the horses make the hunters run to the horses one

horse is dead on the ground.

An other scene is when the hunters almoust have tracked down the bear long away

from the willages I think its snow on the ground.

One hunter (maby an older man) freaks and starts yelling
Its not a bear we hunt! Its the devil himself!
Hes up there in the tree and watching us right now!

Now the camera zooms in an hawk/eagle/predator bird
Then later on i think same man yells
Hes there!
Then the camrea zooms in on a mountainlion/wolf.

Anyway the bear cud transform into other animals (if the hunter was right)
And it killed one or two horses.
Does anyone know which film this is?

The movie was called "Grizzly" Although not quite as you described there is the scene. It is about a Park where a huge grizzly is attacking campers. A good part of the movie is the towns people trying to hunt done the bear. Good stuff!

Yea, the 'kid' above was mentioning stuff that wasn't in ANY movie I ever saw....yer right, GRIZZLY does have a part where a horse gets its' head lopped off by a bear paw, but there's another film he could be confusing with it: PROPHECY (1979, w/Armand Assante, Talia Shire.)
It's a mutated bear that kills all sorts of things/people!
I'm just glad I found a copy of GRIZZLY!

THANX FOR THE HELP :) on movie titles i will find them all. ;)

Finally I got me a copy of Claws (damn postalworker theifes)I had to win it twise on ebay the first copy "disappeared" in shipping.
So sorry for not Answared until now, today i got the package, and saw the movie.

Some scenes felt like it might be this movie, but the horse scene wasnt in it and neighter was the girl mauled in the cabin, or the most important scene the old man that freak out ITS HIM its the devil himself! (while the camera zoom in on a bird).
They only made an short refrense and said the bear can trasform and this bear can think.

I now have obtained these movies and seen them and all have som simular scenes but none have the bear transform into an eagle (or is it in the old mans head?) scene:
Grizzly (1976) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074593/
Claws (1977) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075857/
Beasts (1983) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139883/

So the seach goes on.

hm ok then i will order The Bear then tnx :)

I could be completely wrong about this.
But there was this movie made in 1976 called "Shadow of the Hawk"
starring Jan-Michael Vincent and Chief Dan George.
It was about a young man and his medicine man grandfather
who are chased through the woods by some evil Indian spirits
that appear in different forms. I faintly remember a scene
where Vincent fights a black bear. The movie is a thriller
and is all about Indian spirits and lore so it could be the
one you're looking for.

There's also an evil car possibly driven by spirits that crash
into an invisible wall made by George's character.

I know, sounds pretty whacked out eh?

It was also made around the same time as Grizzly, Claws etc.

Hopes this helps.

Sounds like THE BEAR. I don't remember him shooting at the moon though? I remember the younger hunter shot the bear before the other guy got there to help take it down, and the bear was wounded for the rest of the movie. The older one, makes friends with the cub.

SPOILER WARNING, just in case someone complains.

To me this sounds like Claws (1977). It's about a wounded bear that starts killing people and a group of hunters goes after it were one of them are really vengeful.

I know I'm late to the party but if it helps...
