Dirk and Jason hunt Idaho Bears w/HOUND DOGS!

[@kevinp9867]

Great video!!! Enjoyed how you showed the whole process. Hunting with hounds is not a guarantee, so much love and care is taken for the hounds and how delicious the meat is when it finally hits the table after many hours of work.

[@BenchmarkOutdoors]

Love seeing quality hound hunting videos. Takes me back to ridin on top of a dog box in the back of a single cab Toyota full of walkers… miss those days…

Excellent photograph, beautiful country and the hound hunting explanations. It is all about the dogs and the hunting experience, the harvest is definitely secondary. Brad is a great guide, has excellent dogs, hopefully, with more Plotts like Bearpath Gatlin and Emerald to come. When hound hunting with Brad you definitely will see them putting "bear in the air". All animals need to be managed to keep populations in balance. Hound hunting has proven to be an excellent game management tool.

NICE VIDEO LOVE THE HOUNDS ON BEAR 🐻, NICE BEAR AND BOW SHOT KEEP THEM COMING 👍

[@KC-7mm]

These types of hunts are my favorite great video guys

[@run2september23]

Looks like a great time, great to watch them Idaho hounds run, that's how we do it! I see they had some double gps collared, pretty cool.

[@jsn1300]

i bought some of the new t5x collars and plan on using them as a backup collar because of the sleep mode. not sure if that's what they got but it should work nice. supposedly double the battery life too.

[@joshchestnut523]

Congrats Dirk. Great bear and loved watching those dogs work. Keep it up.

[@mikeholland5997]

Put that hunt in the bucket list!! Great video

[@zachwoiak5144]

Both hunts have been awesome to watch, hope you guys keep doing these hunts with Bradley

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

Working on scheduling another hunt this spring with him. I REALLY want to return the favor and call in a giant bull for him!

@@THEBUGLERBRAND I hope Doug Flutey makes an appearance with that one cuz it sounds like a party!

Pretty cool hunt. Dirk you and jason have a fun relationship. Always fun to watch and listen to you. Guess the shoulder is healed

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

@@hotrodjim60 yep, shoulder is good👍🏻

[@michaelwhite8801]

From a north idaho native I like the idea of the little unit for Washington folks haha. Just kidding I used to think like that and after watching these guys and the bro crew it opened my eyes and now I try to give guys coming in for their big hunt some good Intel and try to help if I can. We put some Minnesota boys on their first elk it was a pretty cool day.

[@kingferguson1]

@17:51 That's classic. Everybody--hounds and humans--are tuned in to the same thing. Then, when those hounds blew up a few seconds later, I was laughing out loud. Hat off to your camera man; he caught the perfect moments.

[@TheLeSausage]

That was a pretty good size Bear. Nice Job!!!

[@Bigtrain1]

Grew up around coon dogs, love the sound of the chase

[@CrawfordN2Elk]

Congrats Dirk… Nice work. Looks like a good time!

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

So fun!

[@socaloutfitters7386]

This video and the lion one are some of the best hound content out there.

[@BobleeBBQandOutdoors]

[@gbaughman3348]

Good shot Dirk, way to cover units with different tags.

[@garysublett3493]

[@1984istruefiction]

Nice job Dirk.

[@chuckswackhammer]

Nice work! 👍

[@d-arts7139]

congrats dirk! i was about to wonder why you hadnt pulled out your tube and reed and try calling one in lol

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

Haha just about had to! 😂

[@d-arts7139]

@@THEBUGLERBRAND my first guided bear hunt is in about 3 weeks! I’ve went on my own several times but hardly saw any. Pretty excited!

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

@@d-arts7139 yeah I’ve always been a DIY guy, but I don’t have the time or recourses to keep and train bear dogs. It was really fun watching expert houndsmen and their dogs work.

[@d-arts7139]

@@THEBUGLERBRAND i went on a bobcat hunt several weeks ago. first time hunting with dogs. a lot of driving too. this hunt reminded me a lot of that! some hiking after dogs in deep snow... but yea i can walk much with my neuropathy. which is why i couldnt get out and find enough bear sign on my own, to effectively hunt them. so, my fisrt guided bear hunt is coming up. cant wait!

[@THEBUGLERBRAND]

@@d-arts7139 I hear ya brother! There’s a lot of miles put in before the dogs can hunt.

[@edbranson4175]

The small section for Washington people to hunt is down in Ada county. Check the regs 😂

[@jero1918]

[@DavidBrown-hn4fl]

You gotta bear and this lifetime and maybe in another the bear gets something in return. Nice shot
