4.18.24 - Idaho Spring Bear Hunt | A Day To Remember

April 18th, 2024, a day etched in memory for Nick and me. Nick harvested a bear in Idaho, while I faced the news of my Grandpa's passing just an hour before Nick pulled the trigger. Despite turmoil, a higher power seemed to guide us to the bear that appeared out of nowhere.

My grandfather was a major influence on my life growing up. Taught me hunting guns and how to be a man. That bear was for your grandpa. May he rest in peace. Im positive he’s proud of you. Congratulations on a great bear. Love what this channel stands for. 👍👍

Prayers for you and your family. Can say, having a grandfather who I hunted with many years, it is still tough going back out there without him. But you will make him proud every time you step foot in the woods and know he is always watching from above.

Agree, they definitely shape us, wether its through our own dads or directly. Thanks for watching.

I saw that green patch when you were set up high and thought man that’s a great spot to see a bear!😂. Looks like it was! Congrats on a great bear.

[@themtnexperience]

I love when the green is isolated to just a few spots that time of year. Definitely gives you the hope that something will appear.

[@ozark_trapper]

Sorry about your grandpa. I am planning on going next spring bear hunting. In Montana or Idaho. Putting a new rifle and scope together for it. I bought a new Browning rifle. A Xbolt Hells Canyon Speed Long Range 280AI. Having hard time picking a scope out. I want an exposed elevation turret. And a capped windage turret. Going use my free time to practice out to 500 to 600 yds. I want the scope to have zero stop also. Scopes i have been looking at. Leica amplus 6 3x18x44mm Trijicon tenmile 4x24x50mm Zeiss V4 4x16x44mm Leupold VX5 HD 3-15x44mm Leupold VX5 4x24x52mm Huskemaw 4x16x42mm Nightforce SHV 5x20x56mm. I dont know about the SHV because it dont have zero stop. Bullets looking to use. Hornady ELD X 162 gr Hornady ELD X 175 gr Hornady ELD M 180 gr Nosler Accubond LR 168 gr . Any suggestion on scope and bullet? It will be my first bear hunt out of state.

[@themtnexperience]

Not sure on the bullets but I really like the Vortex LHT RAZOR® HD LHT™ 4.5-22X50 FFP and the Nightforce 4.5-32x50
