[@vernherrst4737]

Just recently found you Channel and love the educational info you provide and want to say congratulations on the Grand Slam of Color Phase. I just restarted bow hunting last year after a 30+ year layoff. Last year I got my blind and this year in Aug got my chocolate to give me 3 of the 4 color phases. Yet to get the cinnamon but hitting it hard to try and complete the slam yet this year

[@huntryx1]

So cool, Bernie! Be very proud of your achievement!

[@natecole3222]

That is super cool! I just heard the story of these bears from your dad on Easter and wanted to look it up. You have a super neat channels and I will absolutely go back though the log of the videos.

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@gregbowen9546]

Very cool collection! Really like hearing the stories. Great job!

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Glad you like them!

[@alaskanadventure3275]

What a cool accomplishment, and to have taken them all with a bow!Glad you got your blond bear, now to go find the video of it! My prized bear is a cinnamon with blond shoulders, I’d trade half my others bears for it.

[@BowhuntingRoad]

The video is on this channel!

Nick does a really good job & I had him do a life-size of my chocolate phase bear I shot in 2019.

[@wildlifesaskatchewan]

Some great mounts . Just got my biggest black bear done into a rug but thinking for the next decent one I may need to go with a half mount , those look great

[@regularperson5095]

I've been following you since a short time before you came out with your book on bears (Bear Baiter's Manual ). Outstanding! Well done! I know it took quite a few trips on this North American Continent for you to accomplish this. I have harvested a brown and cinnamon bear, working on getting a black. Doubt I will be able to get the blonde.

[@chadbinette3201]

Love the top two mounts, I wanted my biggest bear mounted that way and the taxidermist told me "it's not natural for a black bear to have their teeth showing " huh well you didn't see this mean beast when he got shot. Looks great and enjoy your videos so much only bummer is when I watch them all and have to wait till the next years videos haha.

[@BowhuntingRoad]

A guy told me that I shouldn't mount them that way because he's never seen a bear act like that. I told them when you have hunted as long as I have and been around bears as long as I have, you will see them like that.

[@chadbinette3201]

@@BowhuntingRoad my father in law has a nice 300 lb one with a huge white V across his chest and it's mounted this way, teeth and claws out, like it's coming out of the wall to attack.

[@markcostello7238]

I really like all your videos no matter what the subject matter. i have a comment on this particular video. I have a good friend who also got ' the slam " with a bow. Pre 2018.

[@BowhuntingRoad]

I would like to hear about it.

[@mikeney5113]

Freaking awesome Bernie.thanks for sharing

[@rickjohnson7223]

Congrats that is a great accomplishment. Thank you for sharing your hunts!

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Thank you too!

[@nathanmuckala2265]

Great video and awesome looking mounts

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Glad you like them!

[@nathanmuckala2265]

I sure do. It's my dream to get a blonde bear one day.

[@chadbinette3201]

If your ever looking for a taxidermist Randy Hill in Pennsylvania is one of the best I've ever seen, started as a part time gig and got so big he does it full time now. Just from Maine I know 10-15 guys that send pelts to him cause he's worth the extra effort to cross state lines. He's on Facebook and check him out, he's done 3 of my bears, a 3/4 mount like your bottom left one on the log, a standing full mount and a full mount on all fours walking kind of. Again Randy Hill of Pennsylvania.

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Not many taxidermists do bears well, so if you find one, that's a good thing. Too many people take their first bear to the guy who does their deer and that's usually a mistake.

[@chadbinette3201]

@@BowhuntingRoad look him up, he does a lot of bears . I can send you pictures of mine if you like , not cause he did mine but he does the best work I've ever seen. Too many times I've seen people wait a year or more for their deer or bear or whatever and it doesn't look good at all. Shouldn't look 50 years old the first day you get it, haha

[@Jayinbloom]

@@chadbinette3201hey does he have a website?

[@williamcorbitt7060]

Great video, as usual. Question: just viewed an older video of yours on Active-Cam Scent. Do you still use it? Still find it helpful as a lure for bears?

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Yes I do! It's more of a curiosity scent for bears I would not consider as good of an attractant as Northwoods bear products sprays or Gold Rush.

[@williamcorbitt7060]

@@BowhuntingRoad thank you for taking the time to reply. I greatly appreciate it.

[@NathanBlank]

super neat. Great video!

Thanks for the visit

Best bear channel on the World Wide Web!!

[@progradepainting3755]

Do you hunt with mechanicals or fixed heads sir?

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Fixed blades.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Very cool!

[@bayoubilly6971]

I’ve seen all of these And never understood the colors. Here in nor cal they are everywhere.

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Yup, in that area blacks are not that common.

[@curtbabler]

How about the Glacial Bear?

[@BowhuntingRoad]

The Glacier bear and Kermode bear are subspecies and not part of the Grand Slam, although I would sure like to add them to my collection!

[@Killmachine51]

Need to find a new taxidermist

[@BowhuntingRoad]

I already have my other one died. I kept going to him out of long time loyalty but his work lost a lot of quality towards the end of his life. The blonde bear won several taxidermy competitions.

[@spenbour16]

Missed opportunity to promote PATIENCE. From this angle, you dont NEED that little bear. Its okay to be honest about maybe taking a smaller animal when you shouldve waited or putting the time in. The hunt is more valuable when sweat goes into it, not just more money. Its also not even a phase grand slam, unless you plan on poaching two more

[@BowhuntingRoad]

You should watch the video of that hunt. A grand slam is 4.

OK

Another LOOK AT ME “hunter”

[@BowhuntingRoad]

Dumbest comment of the day award goes to you.

[@bigbassjonz]

I'm in my 50's and I've hunted all my life. I've never really understood the trophy hunting, but I grew up having to hunt if I was going to eat well. Even now, I hunt to put meat in the freezer. I do understand keeping the population cut down to prevent disease and overpopulation. I've never really got the whole hanging part of an animals carcass on the wall though.
