Hunting Mountain Bears

[@Pr1mitiveHunter]

I watch a lot of hunting videos and you would be my first choice of a “KZbin” hunter that I would wanna hunt with. The way you tell the story and talk about the game shows how much you respect wildlife and the opportunity to be out in the wild chasing fair game.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that!

[@robertflemings7630]

Good luck Jason, wish n you the best of time spent a foot. Ill be in NW MT May 12-26 if things are slow in your area I'd love the chance to meet you and show you the places I love to hunt in 121

[@brendanralph4730]

Thank you Jason for putting up another great show and story. The visuals and narration you put together are just outstanding. Cheers from Alberta.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@trihall2273]

Thank you Jason 😊. Excellent 👍

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[@nicolerattray1073]

A match set is always awesome to find but a match moose set had to be like winning the lottery! Congrats! Another great video as always! Thanks for the great content

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Yes! Exactly! Haha. Thank you!

[@iandavis9450]

Ive hunted for years in the UK we only have deer and i stumbled across your video today... i have watched hours and hours of hunting vidoes... yours is the best by a very long way ... why because its honest the videography is amazing and i felt a deep connection with it simply incredible dont ever change your style i feel truely inspired. many thanks indead

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

I am happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@brandonpark7380]

Thank you! I enjoy all of your media. When you were talking about mother bear and pulled your hood off. I love the feeling of feeling your vulnerability.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

It’ll make you feel alive real quick!

[@coreyarchibald2467]

Your videos are always the best kill or no kill. Thanks

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

I really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@JC-qn3ws]

Thank you once again Jason! Excellent experience shared and well done bringing the adventure to life. Feels like I am on the hunt with you each time I watch them. Top notch quality in each one.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Right on! I am stoked to hear that! Thank you!

[@hunterfredrickson5836]

Your definitely my favorite guy to watch hunt. Just the way you do it solo sometimes or with your family is great. And your a guy that works hard unlike some of these other KZbinrs who pay alot of money or have things handed to them because they’re famous. It just helps me understand that anyone including myself can be successful! Thank you

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

I appreciate that! You absolutely can be successful! Thank you.

[@intothetimberoutdoors8746]

Man this was a epic video. Love your way of telling the story. Spring fever is in the air. I can’t wait for Montana spring bear season.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

You and me both! Thank you!

[@GreenEagle1983]

What an amazing video! loved to see that youre not just out for the kill but for the experience. As i prep for my first spring bear hunt its a good reminder that its about getting out and enjoying the country as much as it is to be successful... Keep the good stuff coming!

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you and best of luck out there this spring!

[@missionhunt]

Great video, Jason. Always enjoy watching your video.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@dirtmcgirt9445]

Another banger. Spring bear is possibly my favorite season. I’m a little more NW than you, but we love bears up here. I’m headed scouting this week.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Can't wait!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Excellent point that has lead to your recent focus on replacing the word “Trophy” with Selective and how important that distinction is. I can respect the edict of not having to kill an animal to make a TV show.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you! I am happy to hear that!

[@LFC911]

Great episode Jason, I look forward to watching your hunting adventures and the excellent videography!

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you Larry!

[@johndabb1156]

Great looking set of moose s sheds you found

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

That was the highlight of my spring! Haha

[@scott6252]

Buzzer beater Bear, good rhyme a nother neat hunt, better luck next time.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you!

[@Charmincarman]

Awesome hunt!

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thanks man! I appreciate that buddy.

[@reapergrim76]

Awesome stuff! 👌

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kylewilkinson7436]

That’s the best Heather’s Choice meal by far!

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Agreed!!

[@josephpeterson7109]

Exactly, it is the chase., the pursuit, thank you. I have guided hunters to well over a hundred bears but have only taken two myself, black and brown boars. I think you are right in your statement that it might be that the big ones might have developed habits that allow them to grow big as youngsters. The sow may be what allows a boar to learn the things to grow old and big.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it man!

[@tolaxu]

Totally agree, great hunting video does not have to harvest game every single video.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you!

[@jonEmontana]

Enjoyed the footage. Been waiting for this one. Hoping to get back in bear country in may just to enjoy the wildlife and shoot video myself depending on how my father is doing. Seems his days are coming to end so it’s bitter sweet being excited to get back home in may for once and hopeful to get a day or 2 of solo solitude and a chance to pray where I feel the closest to god but also keeping in mind why I’m coming and they may be no chance to get out and hike. Thanks for posting up this one.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Absolutely! So glad you enjoyed this one!

[@Dillondeitz]

Got me pumped for spring!

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Right on man! I am ready to get back out there and start hiking around!

[@brianjohnson8918]

Eventually you'll need to bring in a BarcaLounger, solar panels, and a big screen TV to the scouting shack!

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Haha! So many options from here! Thank you for watching

[@Mattclay29]

Hey Jason, great vid as usual. I hunt in grizz country as well here In Alberta and I was just curious what bullet and caliber are you packing when hunting black bear in grizz terrain?

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

This past season I hunted with a 300 WSM. I'd like to think that would do the trick but hard to say if it was charging full steam and close quarters. I'd hate to find out. Haha

[@Mattclay29]

I think 300 wsm is a good starting point for grizzly’s. And I hear ya, hope to never find out!

[@CamDee13]

I really respect your philosophy on not killing to make a TV episode! That shows that what u do is truly documentary style filming, you are documenting your hunts as is, you are not trying to get animals to do what u want to make better content. I often see a lot of these other KZbin hunter influencers saying “I would of killed this trophy bull but we just couldn’t get a good angle for film on it so we had to let him go” I always shake my head at that because that’s showing right there that u are hunting for the wrong reasons.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you! I appreciate hearing that!

[@imags11B]

Awesome hunt! Also, what hat are you wearing? Looks pretty cool.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

This hat is made by Rural Cloth. Thank you!

Thank you!

[@danmullan1624]

Hunting isn't about killing. It's the experience .

[@kevinmartin2096]

Only people that say that are ones that don’t even know how to successfully tag out every year

[@JTDTV-cu3gr]

@@kevinmartin2096 dang bro you must be an absolute killer ever year!! Good for you man I bet your proud ..

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

No question. Any true outdoorsman can understand that. Thank you for tuning in!

[@jschickenfarmer50]

I like your videos, but the music and singing while you are talking is just too much. It makes it nearly impossible to understand what you are saying. I bluetooth the audio through my hearing aids so maybe that makes it worse. Please address it for us viewers as I dont want to quit watching from frustration. Thanks…

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Noted. Thank you!

[@kevinmartin2096]

Lmao scared to solo hunt in griz country. Ok insta huntress… why are you not rocking your Subaru and your man bun?

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Haha! Thank you for the thoughtful comments and tuning in. I really appreciate your positive attitude on life.

[@Charmincarman]

The only people that aren’t on edge hunting anything in grizzly country, solo or not, are the ones too stupid to respect them…

[@mtbadger1346]

Much Respect Mr. Matzinger.

[@jasonmatzingerofficial]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@mtbadger1346]

@@jasonmatzingerofficial Really love your videography, and how you tell the story. My best friend lives in Roundup, and I visit to hunt, fish, & hike from East TN. I have an understanding of how difficult of a hunt and the physical toll it takes for spot n stalk bear during any season having lived in Washington state, & Nevada also. Keep doing what you do! Helps keep me sane being too far East of the RM front. LoL
