Hunting Alaska Black Bear with Randy Newberg (FT S1 E10)

[@WestCoastWheelman]

I swear, it's like these small towns make deals with the airlines to lose people's luggage so that they end up having to spend a bunch of money in town...

[@Fresh_Tracks]

The local guys were really cool about it. It happened in my home town airport of Bozeman. I found out that TSA uses a contract service here and when I called them, they told me I should have taken it as carryon luggage. I told the lady how stupid that response was, given it weighs 90# and is abut 4x the allowed size of a carryon item. She didn't understand and ended up giving me a website to visit, which was nothing more than an episode of frustration. I see Bozeman has now changed contract companies to do the TSA work here. I hope they are better than the prior service. Thanks for watching.

[@Northernmormon]

My family moved to SE Alaska when I was a senior in high school. I have flown in and out so many times I lost count (can't drive into Juneau). For more than half of my flights, alaska airlines lost my luggage. Seems like it is just par the course up there.

[@bryanroer1185]

Elk

[@radarbrew]

I have been here for about 20 years. For all you guys that think bears are everywhere, I have seen 3 live bears in all that time and from a distance. Usually running away, at that. You gotta put in a lot of hours and miles to get one this good. Excellent video.

[@DarkStar700]

Come to New Brunswick Canada we have lots of black bears some big ones too. iv had at least one around my house all summer. Miramichi Area

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching,

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I film western US hunts, but Canada is always in my mind.

[@JL-xn3zy]

Randy - You are a class act. Having learned of you several months ago, I think I've now watched all your episodes and listened to a bunch of your (and other's that you were a guest) podcasts. I appreciate what you do to educate us and the voting public on the uniquely American prize we have in our public lands. Please do not stop. I look to retiring from the military in the not so distant future and plan on enjoying our public land hunting across the west. God Bless.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for your service, Jay. And thanks for the kind comments. Best to you.

[@TRawckk]

Our husband & I also love Randy & have seen all his videos, at least I hope we have!! And have shared with our friends & families who also love them. Class Act for SURE!!!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Rawckk That Body, LLC Those kind comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching. Best to you.

[@siwash99]

A class act wouldn't disparage the fine people of Mexico

[@PKPK-rr3rs]

When I was younger, my second deer I ever took (Blesbok) I took a terrible shot due to my own fault, I had so much adrenaline that I could barely keep myself steady. I had to track him until night, eventually I found him and he was lying in the brush with blood all around his stomach. I put him down shorty after. All hunters have such moments, I had one, you had one like mentioned at the end of your video. But we simply need to learn from those mistakes and make more ethical kills in the future. Happy hunting.

[@masonzizovski449]

PK PK I love hunting, it's totally awesome. But that thought makes me so sad :( 😭

[@dylanpyle8285]

I was lucky my first hunt on a NM muzzleloader elk hunt, got a shot about 100yds away and shot him right in the heart went less then 2 yards and dropped

[@joeymacedo4746]

I had a similar experience with a varmit dove and a BB gun. It makes you appreciate the animal a whole lot more

[@kicker6274]

Good work on the video. Using less camera gear didn't hurt one bit, in fact it added realism to the hunt.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad to hear that. It has been very well received.

[@flattopcabin]

I am 7 years old and enjoy all your videos. Kurt Collins

[@williamhood5062]

Randy, what caliber did you use for this hunt. Thanks

[@Fresh_Tracks]

.308

[@cattleranch1430]

Thank you Randy for making the shadows. I've always struggled with hunting on public land and thought I needed to find private land to get the best hands. You have proven that wrong and built my confidence and hunting public land keep up the good work

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks. Glad it might be helpful. Hope you find some great opportunities. Thanks for watching.

[@rkba4923]

Something you'll never hear a Southerner say: "Duct Tape won't fix that." "Give me that small bag of Pork Skins, would ya." ...

[@jarnohietala]

Excellent video!

[@dannyeugenewaits9486]

great video considering all your "luck"! glad to see you never gave up on something that's so near and dear to the heart!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you. Giving up is something I'm not very good at. My wife shakes her head when somebody says, "Randy, you'll never be able to do that." She knows I'll do it, just to prove I can do it. Thanks for watching.

[@dannyeugenewaits9486]

haha!! that must be a "Montana thing"! I've been accessed of that myself! well at any rate great to watch some wonderful hunts I'm envious of you and your crew's video talent! keep up the great hunts real enjoy them!

[@beexiong7552]

Wishing one day I'll get to go elk hunting with you randy. i watched all you episodes and loved it. We California have no elk. it will take us 14 yrs to draw a tag.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I hope you would consider MT, ID, or CO for elk. All of those states have tags available right now, and all of them have a lot of public land to hunt. I feel for folks who live in places where it takes forever to draw a tag, or places with no elk at all. If you want to see the options still available, we explain them in this video link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpW8l4ifd79jaNk

[@CecilDSouza]

Lot of suspense. A nice video and well shot.

[@tonybird4633]

Hi Randy, nice show. Come to New Zealand, lots of public land to hunt on, Red Deer, Sika, Russa, Sambar, Chamois, Tahr, Fallow Deer, Wapati (elk), Whitetail (smaller than the US).

[@TuppenceMorris]

plus Pigs and Ducks

[@pedromaldonado7694]

New to hunting ! Planning on going next year in california, any tips or advice? Planning on going for deer season, turkey season and squirrels

[@wolfbro6984]

I actually shot a bear in northern Arizona south of the town of Heber, and it unfortunately was not a fatal shot, so me (16 years old at the time) and my father, at last light, followed a blood trail for roughly five and a half miles, through one of the steepest and nastiest canyons I've ever hiked through, in the dark for multiple hours to loose the blood trail and never find the bear. It broke my heart to know that I had injured and animal, and there was nothing I could do to put it out of it's misery. So I can relate to how you felt when your previous bear got away. It's one of the worst feelings to go through. All you can do is pray to god, and ask and hope that is doesn't go through too much pain and it dies sooner then later. I love your videos and I relate to them on so many levels, especially on the level of how hard you hunt, my dad has taught me the same way, never sit ground blinds or tree stands, it's all about getting out in the field and going where no one wants to go, that's where the big animals are. My dad owns his own guide service here in Arizona called "Out2hunt" I have been hunting here in Arizona since I was 9 years old, my most nostalgic unit to unit to hunt is 36b, near a little town called Arivaca, just a few miles from the Mexican border. My favorite unit to hunt though is unit 23, near a small town called Young. It's an outstanding unit for big bulls, mountain lions, And big bucks. Keep making these awesome videos man and congrats on the bear!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Sorry to hear about that bear experience. It happened to me once and I know how it feels. It still bothers me when I think about it. I've been to most those AZ places you mention. I love them all. I'll be in Arivaca again in January. Best of luck this season.

[@johngiff2978]

This is real hunting, Randy; I think someone is trying to help you, by having your gear not show up, your motor break down etc. He or She is saying Randy... keep your show real and even the anti hunters will get a better idea of what hunting is and should be. The ignorant comments will reduce as your show properly educates them about what hunting is for most hunters. Great show.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

[@spiggy40]

Great video. Very clean shot

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@ValcoBayrunner]

Great hunt, congratulations. I hunted self guided AK resident brown bear on Admiralty Island last May and it was too Hot , never rained in 10 days. I took a nice bear and enjoyed seeing all the mink, pine martins, eagles, whales and lots of sows with cubs. had halibut dinner and could have had crab if we had the pots, just a special place to hunt SE AK for sure!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad you liked it. That places calls me back, every chance I get. Good luck to you this season.

[@RatdogDRB]

Nice work. I hear ya on the frustration. One year, I had an entire hunt's worth of meat nearly spoiled, due to an Alaska Air Cargo employee in Kotzebue, who left my FROZEN (and labelled) meat sitting outside. When I received it in Seattle, blood was running on the ground from inside the boxes. Fortunately, I did not lose any of the meat, and it all tasted great.

[@teambennett3060]

Nice bear! Awsome video 👍🏻

[@oranpayne9543]

Another fine video, that sends a positive message!!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@hewhoisthere]

Do you think using a little speaker playing distressed faun calls could potentially draw in a black bear close enough for a handgun shot?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Yes, it can. I've had them "on my lap" close while calling.

[@hewhoisthere]

Very cool, I'll have to give it a shot! Great video as always!

[@diArcipE]

Great video, Randy! What is that clever little chest bag you've got there?

[@Bowstringdotcom]

Always great videos. What a great life.

[@codyegreen]

Randy I finished watching your series on amazon. Do you have any recommendations?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Recommendations for ?

[@codyegreen]

Hunt shows, hunt talk shows...

[@robinwallin5064]

I like your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you. I hope we continue to give you content worth watching.

[@emanuelallen1192]

Randy Newberg, Hunter love your videos randy! seriously, if these idiotic trolls keeps messing with you might just have to start blocking people left and right!

[@hectormorales5306]

Randy Newberg, Hunter hey Randy I keep seeing what you are saying in the video about the wind being wrong??. Please explain that to us with a little bit less hunting experience. I love your videos please keep doing what you're doing you are living the dream buddy

[@hectormorales5306]

what is good wind and what is bad wind? In this kind of hunting scenario

[@maricelsuarez5874]

Robin Wallin hhhggfffghbbbhddfgg

[@BigBoy22173]

Hey randy what leupold scoop do you have there ?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

That hunt was a VX-3, 3-9x40mm

[@BigBoy22173]

Randy Newberg, Hunter Thank you keep the videos comes !!!

[@Nikko_Suave]

Hi, Randy. Have you ever had a surprise encounter with a bear in the backcountry? What is your preferred method of bear defense (aside from trying not to surprise or unintentionally attract them in the first place)?

[@danielrauenhorst410]

Did you lose all the gear that didn't show up or were you able to relocate it ?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

It showed up while we were out hunting. Thanks for watching.

[@randyclement2429]

Nice video Randy where do you get those gun slings and what are they called thanks

[@snakehead4213]

Would like to visit southeast Alaska someday

[@mikeedenfield4076]

Another great video, what is the product you use for checking wind direction

[@Fresh_Tracks]

You can use many different things - baby powder, foot powder, or the commercial stuff made by many of the scent control companies. Thanks for watching.

[@heinrichberthold7839]

What was the white powder he was squeezing out of the bottle?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Talc or any other fine powder that will give you a good indicator of wind direction. Thanks for watching.

[@brettd530]

Who makes that rifle sling that you use on your pack and where can I find me one? That's a sweet set up, I've never seen one before.

[@aurorawhorealis]

I know this comment is like a year old, but if you're still curious it's a Kifaru Gun Bearer. store.kifaru.net/gun-bearers-p30.aspx

[@ColtonWilson3000]

Great bear Randy, good spot and stock. Got yourself a nice bruin their. Black bear hunting is my favourite. It's my season right now locally and hope to get a good one. Passed up about 6 smaller ones this year. Just waiting for the big one. Subbing to your channel right now. About to watch your Buffalo hunt next. As my dad is Buffalo hunting himself in northern Alberta tomorrow morning.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Something about bears, where they live, and how they behave that is very intriguing.

[@outofstatehunter]

what caliber rifle did you use for the Alaska Black Bear?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

This was a .308 Howa Model 1500.

[@outofstatehunter]

Thank you Sir.

[@Dukevares1]

"Here's part of this problem, made in Mexico" 😂

[@MilIMeta]

fish sticks here in Germany and the rest of Europe everything that says ,,made in U.S.A.“ is considered of poor quality. How ironic

[@colbyangove6353]

Do you have a video about the gun carrying system you use. The one that the gun is strapped to strap of you pack? Or at least know were I could of get one or the brand.

[@mcrock4960]

What was the caliber that you used with your Howa?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

That was a .308 Win.

[@dextermorgan1698]

Beautiful rifle !

[@adamschroeder693]

I love your videos Randy it's inspirational thinking that I could get an bear thank you ever since I shot my first turkey I love hunting

[@Fresh_Tracks]

You sure can. Good luck.

[@adamschroeder693]

Thank you

[@josephflores6362]

Great video! I will be going on my first black bear hunt in May and would like to know where I can get the rifle sling you are using to carry your rifle in the front like that?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Good luck on your hunt. Google "Gun Bearer" and many options will come up.

[@hoardshuntingcamps9740]

Nice Black Bear...Good Episode!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@punkamatico83]

The best thing was losing all his cameras. No big chance of staging as usual. BTW, there was nothing bad with the motor assembled in mexico. It was the crappy usa made terminals. Check the make of your pickup, Randy. Maybe you’ll want to trade for a Polaris.

[@jal2217]

Thanks Randy for your videos ands all your knowledge. I learn every time I watch. Happy Hunting!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

That is great to hear. We try our best to produce compelling stories that are worth the time to watch. Thanks for watching.

[@ryanshadow8454]

Does this scare you at all?

[@codyreed8961]

what do you during high/low tides

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glass the beaches we can see from wherever we are.

[@dstevenpaisley]

is it Anise oil extract and cooking oil? we use that here at our stands

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+D Steven Paisley - It has a fine powder in it and is used as a "wind checker." I use it for all my hunts, as the winds are the biggest challenge as we try to get closer for good camera footage.

[@1968krug]

hi Randy, was that with your 308? what projectile did you use and where was the impact? can't believe how quickly the bear fell... how heavy would a bear like that be? thank you Tony

[@Fresh_Tracks]

.308 Win with a 180 grain. Impact was behind the front shoulder, clipping the bottom of the spine, thus the immediate collapse. I don't know what a bear like that would weigh. Thanks for watching.

[@kvnztr]

What kind of rifle is that?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Howa Model 1500 in a .308 Win.

[@kvnztr]

Thank You. :)

[@kentac1911]

Just goes to show, you don't need a big magnum to cleanly take animals. Pick a caliber you can shoot well and put the bullets where they need to go....Well done sir!

[@KKKKKKK-sr1fz]

Kenneth Long what would be the "other" big magnums you mean ? can you tell me a few

[@kentac1911]

You can use what ever magnum you want. They all will kill. But they are not always necessary. You don't need a 300, 338, 375 to kill a black bear. Yes, they will work, but there not always needed to get the job done.

[@paghal11]

Randy, I'm a new wannabe hunter. Live in Oregon and want to hunt some Roosevelt elk this fall. Not into the whole trophy thing, I just want wild, organic, healthy meat that I harvested myself. So I'll probably take a cow or antlerless young bull. One of the most confusing things is how to obtain a tag and where to get one for. Do you have a segment on that ? Or any advice ? Love your videos.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

We have an entire playlist called ELK TALK that has the tag drawing systems for all the Rocky Mountain States. Unfortunately, we don't have one for Oregon. Good luck.

[@christianvelasquez51]

love the message at the end. great vid keep up the great work. good luck in the future

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks. And thanks for watching. Best of luck to you.

[@Asad-2166]

What do you do with the bear 🐻?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Eat the meat. Tan the hide.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Eat the meat. Tan the hide.

[@notyomonky]

I've been binge watching your videos while sick. Lots of fun. After all the hard luck you've had I'm surprised you keep going back to SE Alaska, but this is a good ending to that saga. What caliber are you using on bear?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Sometimes the luck is good, sometimes not so good. I use a .308 Win.

[@snapcrack55]

Love your show, from MN

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+snapcrack55 - Thanks. Hope you have a great season ahead.

[@davidc7mm276]

what Caliber did you use ???

[@Fresh_Tracks]

.308 Win.

[@madreamer]

how did the bear taste?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Pretty good. Sometimes spring bears are pretty strong. Most the AK spring bears I've eaten are more mild than MT spring bears.

[@45auto]

@@Fresh_Tracks I'm surprised by that. I would have thought they would be gamier due to the fish eaten. Could you explain what would make the Montana bear meat less tasty?

[@UBinar]

Hi. My Name is Markus , Hunter from Germany , Bavaria . I like your Chanel and al about Hunt and gear.

[@huntfriendstv6399]

Nice shot Nice hunting, well done!!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

[@ThamesCentrePhotography]

Mr. Newburg do you keep all of the meat and hides that you harvest or what do you do with it all? You'd have to have a outbuilding of just freezers! Lol

[@FishingTimeWithMatt]

Hey Randy, I was wondering what you do with the bear meat? The bear I shot here out of Petersburg Alaska was riddled with worms I kept the meat but if I cook it up the worms should die right?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I eat it. And yes, I cook it to a much higher temp to make sure it solves any trichinosis problems. Just part of dealing with bear meat.

[@FishingTimeWithMatt]

Okay thanks

[@nathannufc5060]

brilliant videos❤always loved hunting but as I live in belfast northern Ireland we can only hunt foxes and rabbits with our lurchers would always love to go hunt in America and Canada but it's even better now I get to watch your videos and seeing these big bears really freaks me out you don't see none of that where I'm from you'd be lucky to see a deer and a fox

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Yes, different hunting experiences result in different concerns while in the woods. Thanks for watching.

[@nathannufc5060]

Randy Newberg, Hunter thanks for taking your time to reply 😊

[@nathanmuckala7610]

Would love to see you do a bear hunt here in Minnesota 😁😀

[@elianas7066]

How is Randy carrying his rifle like that?

[@buckbagr]

Brother in law talked me into putting in for 2019 SE Alaska. Says it's a good time. This video has got me stoked. Hope I can do as well as you. Congrats nice Bear. What did he weigh roughly? What about skull Was he B&C?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I hope you get drawn and have a great hunt. I don't know what he weighed. I didn't weigh him. Skull was 19 6/8.

[@HankAttack89]

How do I get started with hunting?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Lots of answers to that. To start with, I would ask your state fish and game agency. They can give you the basic overview of opportunities in your state and they will likely put you in touch with hunter education instructors. We have a forum that shares tons of information - www.hunttalk.com. Good luck as you start down this life-long path. It will provide you with so many great benefits. Thanks for watching.

[@rodeskelson4159]

you are awesome Randy, welcome in my camp anytime!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@rodeskelson4159]

For sure! I appreciate what you do for our hunting rights and public land hunting!

[@55dbau]

Nice clean shot, did not suffer.

[@dstevenpaisley]

what's in the little squeeze boottle?

[@treyt7847]

Talc

[@bryanlewis2867]

where can i get one of those federal hats?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

My wife made them. They are now gone.

[@bryanlewis2867]

Thats too bad, she does good work. I have been trying to find one i like for awhile and its harder than i thought haha

[@lamontgray6015]

Hey mr randya guy told me i whuld not see anything if i slowy stalked thru the woods looking for game is that crazy or what see plenty vids of people with success doing it

[@dominiquekusiak3113]

Great job! Beautiful bear.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching,

A lot can be said for pure out and out GRIT!!

[@largeerection3573]

Awesome bear

[@josephkuser3998]

Who had a heart attack!? Please don't die I still have a lot to learn lol

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Prior to this video I had a block clot in my heart. It was a scare, but I was out hunting a week later.

[@josephkuser3998]

Randy Newberg, Hunter thank God your okay. Stay safe and I'm really learning a lot so thank you.

[@jasonkatashi6058]

nice shot...

[@chrishuntley3006]

I enjoy watching your video's, although I havent in several years I grew up hunting the same way you do. Something else I enjoy is from what I've seen in videos I've watched is mostly public land hunts instead hunting farmed animals. Keep on keeping it real!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks. We do all public/accessible land hunts. If we do it, so could anyone else.

[@jbloor37]

great video giys

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Best of luck this season.

[@nickanderson1856]

i live in petersberg ak and i just picked up my 2017 black bear locking tag!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Good luck. I will be back in May 2018.

[@nickanderson1856]

I understand how your usually busy, getting ready for the hunt when you get into town, but if you find the time on either end of your hunt I would be willing to buy you and your camera crew a lunch and ice cream some ware in town and talk hunting with you guys. I'm a fan of your podcasts, I listen to them out on the fishing boat. If your interested In my offer just let me know

[@reecedonovan8224]

Nice shot what cal is the rifle?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks. It is a .308 Win.

[@reecedonovan8224]

Nice 308 does the job .

[@deanf8894]

.308 for Bear? 180 grain?

[@reecedonovan8224]

I took my first bear this year with 308 BLR 165 gr Hornady Superformance. One shot and it fell off the tub it was on dead, with a nice exit wound. It was a small one but I was pleased.

[@deanf8894]

Wouldn't a 7mm Rem Mag be better?

[@elevenbravo551]

Why is there so much water in Matt's boat?!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

It has some serious leaks in it. When renting gear in remote Alaska, you take what you can get. Thanks for watching.

[@seakadventurer1330]

ElevenBravo riveted lunds leak over time. multiple beach dockings like the one seen with the bow on the tree are part of a well used lunds life. No big deal, they have foam in the seats and you just pull the plug once on step to drain them.

[@Tigerworksinc]

So you ate the bear right? Fed your family? What does bear taste like? Or did you kill it for sport?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Scott Hill Ate it all, shared with family and friends. Taste varies on spring bears. Can range from sweet to a bit strong.

[@Jack-rf7kq]

Great video u should have a lot more subscribers

[@trentlazenby4221]

Can you go hunt caribou?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I can. And, I want to. I just need to find time in the schedule. Thanks for watching.

[@fredymelendez4773]

17:00 bear shot

[@billw1096]

I am not eating bear. Sorry. Don't eat it, don't kill it. I enjoyed your vids alot over the years

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I hope you try it. It is actually quite good.

[@TheCondor300]

That Black Bear foot has to be at least 3 foot across... they must go 3000 pounds up there in Alaska! Lol!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Funny stuff. Thanks for the good humor, George. The world needs more of it. Best of luck to you this season.

[@TheCondor300]

Like all of your video's!

[@ivansoto1591]

what's the problem with things that are made in Mexico?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Nothing. This was some humor. And, I prefer to have things that are made in the United States, if possible. I am not a big fan of trade policies that make it easy to ship US manufacturing jobs overseas, whether to Mexico, or elsewhere. When possible, I would prefer to pay a bit more and know that it helped keep some jobs in America. And, it is my personal experience that most US made goods are of a higher quality than those made in countries where the labor force is exploited.

[@adonvloglife9297]

ivan soto I know it made me mad when he said that because I'm mexican

[@boydcrowder6130]

Dont get so offended... lose the victim mentality. It was humor. Thats life... He can say whatever he wants. This is his show and its also America.. If you dont like it dont watch it. But stop bitchin.... Man up.

[@paghal11]

A lot of American companies assemble their product in Mexico. To a lower standard than in the US. The problem is not the Mexicans. It's the greedy American CEO's who go where their profit margin is the highest. They cheat their workers and consumers and pocket the difference. Anyhow, nice hunt. How to make lemonade out of lemons. What does bear meat taste like anyway ?

[@luxexe8561]

Adon vlog Life same

[@bobsee6521]

Hello Mr Randy, I enjoy watching your shows. I'm planning on moving to Colorado at the end of the month and was wondering what gun you recommend for elk and mule deer . Thanks so much

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I use a .308 Win. I've killed elk and mule deer with that, with a .270 Win, with a .300 Win Mag. Find what you shoot best, get good bullets, and go with it. Good luck.

[@roobikkeshishian8786]

Nice I think this is one

[@adolfomoreno5522]

muy bien paisajes

[@wafarms2514]

Glad that engine fired right up when those crappy US made terminals where tweaked

[@robertorisso9370]

senza parole, dei poveri fessi

[@yvonneost12]

You can't shoot the bear because you flew that day ? whats that all about ? only asking as I don't know.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

We flew in two days earlier. That's what it "is all about."

[@yvonneost12]

Ok so is there a law you can't mshoot anything within a couple of days of flying in ? I dont get what you mean , thats the only reason for my comment .

[@tylermertz7095]

The law is meant to discourage hunters from using aircraft to scout or push game. So you cannot hunt the same day you fly.

[@yvonneost12]

oh ok well I learnt something today , thanks for the answer.

[@KKKKKKK-sr1fz]

Tyler Mertz how much does it cost to hunt a bear in alaska ??? I come.from.europe

[@jeffcrysler8228]

Guy has to do what a guy has to do to keep the mob from harming him.

[@joannecott2540]

i love your videos. scared to death of bears.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@khalidhussain-tt9lt]

how are you

[@Heimrik01]

Now that you killed the bear, what are you gonna do with it ? Will you eat the meat ? Will you use the fur to make a coat ? What was the purpose of killing it ?

I ate the bear. What did you think I would do with it? I kept the skull and the hide. The purpose of killing any large animal, even smaller animals, is to eat them. You realize that many animals die to keep you fed, clothed, sheltered, warm, etc, yes? Give the tone of your questions, I suspect you hire others to do that killing for you. I get that sometimes it is not possible for some to participate in acquiring their own food. I choose a life where I take responsibility when I can do that. I contribute large portions of my time and money to improve the cause of wild things and wild places, as that is where much of my food comes from.
