44 mag. Idaho Spring Bear Hunt

Yaboi DeeKay ya it was very effective that’s for sure. Thanks for watching

[@mikeb769]

That’s a will bear lol

[@JoeInMemphis]

Excellent cinematography!!!

[@stevepoe3667]

That's a good feeling when you're legs are shaking, that's your passion for what you are doing,that was a great shot with the RUGER super Blackhawk 44Mag, nice setup!!!

[@cynicsupreme]

This looks like a DA super red hawk to me. The hammer isn’t as high as it is on the Blackhawk.

[@IdahoOutdoorsyChick]

Very nice! Elmer Keith would be proud.

[@sstritmatter2158]

It's why I carry a .44 mag as my woods defense gun. Of course he could sight in for a proper shot, defensive shooting is a different scenario but it does prove shot placement with an adequate round COUNTS. It gives me great confidence to hike anywhere in the woods. Good hunt thanks for the video.

[@Bucky5068]

What a great shot! Very interesting markings on that bear!

[@themtnexperience]

If you watch the video completely you will see another bear appear after the shot on the first bear. This is not the bear shot, it is a different bear. With any animal it is very important not to push or rush a retrieval. An animal can exert adrenaline and run for a long time causing diminishing blood trails. It's best to distinguish where the shot was and then make the judgement call on how long to give the animal. This animal was deceased in less than 30 seconds.

This was a REALLY well done video of the hunt.....nice job! I've never even seen a bear in the wild, much less harvested one and can't even imagine the adrenaline rush it must be to take one down!

[@mustanghuey89]

Great shot my friend. I have one of those pistols also. I love it!

[@gregjohnson3596]

Good pistol to have on hand. I have had my 44 mag Ruger Super Black Hawk for years. Will never sell it. I used to take it with me when I went camping for self protection against big animals like a bear.

That was one of the best video hunts I've see. Well edited and good story . Great shooting guys

[@silentstream8787]

I don't care what anybody says I've hunted and reloaded for 44 Magnums for years there was nothing unethical about this shot it was good shot placement animals don't magically drop when they get hit with a gun or a bow so please get off your rent stool and be a real Hunter man up and accept the responsibility that things don't always go the way we want them to when we're in an uncontrolled environment such as hunting get over it

[@Just_a_Tool]

Silent Stream Would 44 mag be a good round for black bears?

[@swaggmajor1]

Just A Tool absolutely

[@gravyb4741]

I do my hunting at the grocery store. Get something every time

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

I am a known speciality bullet inventor specifically for hunting with black powder revolvers and pistols. Based upon my knowledge, experiences with ballistics and hunting in the USA and Europe, I concour with your statement as even with using high powered rifles for hunting animals especially Apex predators, the animals often do not expire right there on the spot. They often go a ways in a "Death run". The 44 magnum cartridge in a revolver as was in the Ruger Super Redhawk used in this Black Bear hunt was totally sufficient, proportional to quickly dispatch the Black Bear.

[@ralphbernieri3362]

Did you mention the .44 load he used?

[@tedhernandez2394]

Fantastic Video!!! I use my Remington 700 BDL bolt action 30-06, 180 gr. With a 3x9 Redfield scope (Rectangular with a zoom lever). But in thick brush my trusty Marlin 45-70 300gr lever action rifle. I;ve been very close to bear. REAL Close. But my license was for deer. In any event I was happy that I had the above rifles when I encountered bear. Thanks so much for your video. Beautiful country. Would like to view more. I subscribed. Be well!

[@conniecook6276]

Could you tell me what is the name of the background music when the bear was shot? I like that music. Thanks.

Oh boy that was such a long time ago I’m not sure I could find that song sorry.

Nice hunt. What ammo were you using for this?

[@jeramieogle883]

Man what a beautiful bear, nice shot too. I went for my fall bear 2016 but didn't ever see one, lots and lots of fresh poop though.

[@45-70Guy]

Maybe I missed it but what was the distance from the stand to the sight?

[@themtnexperience]

20 yards

[@45-70Guy]

Thanks, always good for referring to. Currently a week out from bear season here and consistently ringing the target at 40 yards with an open sight super Blackhawk. My site is only 32 yards away so figured I’d better be good further. Good shooting

[@themtnexperience]

Sounds awesome good luck this season! Share a photo if your successful!

I want to know what ammo also.

[@k.backus6349]

Great shot. The shock of the hit was awesome. What grain and type of bullet did you use? I'm going for wild boar with Super Blackhawk and Rossi 92 in .44 mag. and I've loaded some 310 gr. Oregon Trail cast and 240 gr. Laser cast.

[@williambeatty2675]

Hunting deer is awesome too with a 44 but I going with a special maybe haven't tried them yet.

[@captainlorres7001]

I'm not here to feign morals or to diss you guys. But why does the bear needs to be shot? Is he to close to a town? Ore are there too many of them?

[@Admodeus]

What did the damage look like? Also can you see any internal damage when you cut the bear open?

[@bozotheclown169]

Feeling lucky? Bear🐻: Yup 3:32

[@Kephers7]

Good hunting brotha. North idaho here

[@grahambald400]

I have just bought a Rossi 92 in 44mag..But baiting and shooting a Bear is definitely not something I would do..I think just seeing it in the wild would be exciting enough..

[@tyeh114]

Clean shot. Wow!

[@asteiner9181]

Was this +P ammo?

[@Ram-vt3rm]

I am in my early thirties. I am looking at getting into hunting in the near future. Did a few trips with a buddy of mine and it is a good time. I am not really into bear hunting. Prob will just stick to deer. Glad the 44mag worked out for you. I would rather do the hunt and harvest myself. This is much more humane than supporting the industry that puts meat on the shelves.

[@stevenward5944]

In my marlin 1894s, based on the twist rate, Winchester 240 gr. Was the general consensus

Excellent video! Pretty bear. Nice kill. Curious, (as a handgunner), what bullet did you use?

[@edwardswanzey7595]

I much prefer my old 45-70.

[@tedhernandez2394]

Edward Swanzey..I have a Marlin 45-70 lever action...It takes 300-400 gr. rounds. I love it. A wonderful brush rifle. My second love is my customized Remington 700 BDL. 180gr on that bad boy. Took some nice deer with that. My point being is that I love to hunt!! I was introduced to it at a young age. And I grew a healthy respect for the forests where I hunt. Not many people are as lucky as I am to see mother nature at it's best. I love the outdoors...I enjoy my firearms. And I love my beautiful country America. Be Well Ed.

[@SDkeepon]

Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!

[@ZFlyingVLover]

I like hunting but not trophy hunting. If you eat the animal fine. If the animal has gone rogue and is a danger to human then fine. If you're just doing it to say you did it that is a life that was just snuffed out for no good reason. Even predators don't just kill for sport. There should be a purpose behind the kill. Security or Nutrition.
