blair peterson: so there’s a bear out there with 2 holes in it, they spend a couple of hours checking out the blood trail then head back to the truck, next day there in a different area, so these guys are legends. Maybe they should watch Steven Rinella tracking a wounded elk for a day and a half to find it, now he’s a legend.

[@stoneglacier9636]

Blair, thanks for taking the time to comment on the film. It's generally hard to show everything that happened during the hunt in a half-hour film. The guys searched for a long time trying to turn up that bear. Nobody likes losing an animal, but if you hunt long enough, it's bound to happen. I think even Steven Rinella, a good friend of SG, would agree to that.

[@blairpeterson8886]

@@stoneglacier9636 thanks for the clarification, I’m not the hunter these guys are, man like lots of grit, more then I got, I guess its that decision of what to put in the film when you have limited time, my apologies, great film by the way, tough area

[@kylekrupiak1364]

@@stoneglacier9636 everyone does miss... I’ve missed! Less likely when you close the distance though. Still great film. Thanks for sharing

[@ricflair5956]

Bottom line: there’s more dead bears on that hunt than tags were punched. In the world of trying to sell product and put videos out, these dudes show us that in the end ethics will slide to make a good video. You can see it all over KZbin. Particularly with guys using rifles that can shoot farther than their ability allows, and at distances that are unethical for hunting purposes, as noted in this video. I worry the new generation of hunters will keep seeing this and think it’s ok to hunt like that. Hiking 8 miles and crossing a creek doesn’t give a guy an out for shooting at things like that. Just my 2.

[@raphaeldumont-lavoie1985]

Even Steven rinella gets a miss, that's the real world gamble and it unfortunately happens. Wind/fatigue/adrenaline Rush/ scope being bumped during your walk... Easy to bitch and moan until you are there trying to take the shot Nd them running up a mountain without any daylight left.

[@nueveelusive7171]

Channeling the inner savage.

[@sage4947]

Hopefully the guy pulling the trigger learned that even with all his fancy gear, that that distance is an unethical shot for him until he gets more practice. Hopefully he remembers this the next time he pulls the trigger.

[@peteskar]

Good portrayal of a true-to-life tough hunt. Thanks!

[@paullunde2903]

I agree with an earlier comment, there should have been more effort in trying to retrieve the first bear, or don’t shoot so far.

[@ricflair5956]

That’s what happens when you value content and ego over the wildlife you claim to care about. It turns wildlife into a commodity to be exploited rather than a resource to be valued. Not true ethical sportsman if you ask me.

[@10flyingdutchman]

@@ricflair5956 I wish I wasn't surprised. Their Border Bulls video has a lovely shot at an elk through thick cover. SG supports the same bozos that didn't know they were poaching bull trout. Gotta get that content.

[@Hunting_Grt_whiteNorth]

If you guys shot a bear and found a blood trail. That tag should be considered as used. Whether or not you managed to find it is another issue cause if you couldn't, it's due to poor shooting or poor tracking. It's really unwise to leave a wounded bear in the woods because it might become a man hunter.

[@aaronm3780]

These men are savage - legends cemented in the annals of Montana history, part truth, part folklore. Their reputation precedes them. Ryan once flirted with danger, but danger got too clingy. Lyle lives vicariously through himself. Ryan bowls over handed and is allowed to talk about fight club. Lyle built his kids a tree house with a fully furnished basement. Then there's Zack, who went to Vegas and won a Texas hold ‘em tournament with UNO cards. Simply savage. Props gents on the great film and awesome hustle. Nothing but blood, sweat and ...a bear. Keep rippin'! Sincerely, Internet friend P.s. slow day in the turkey blind.

Hey, Aaron. We just completed the random drawing and while you didn't win the pack we appreciated your comment. Can you send your contact information (address, phone, and email) to [e-mail]. We want to send you a little something.

[@markh8264]

What a great feeling to fight through the fatigue to get to the moment you worked so hard to get to!

[@MattSchrum]

Great looking packs and top of the line gear-- but as an archery hunter, whenever I see shots that long (especially that result in a miss) I always wonder why they didn't get a bit closer.

[@joshcc1974]

With "long range" guns as they are these days is it now acceptable to shoot and just hope you kill the animal? This disgusts me. What happened to concern for life and ethical kill? It is no wonder hunters get a bad wrap considering situations like this. I am so tired of people saying it is part of hunting. I have hunted my entire life, I am 48, I have yet to leave an animal on the mountain. GET CLOSER!

[@tobywipf2278]

“He’s not very big” “Yeah but he’s f****** up that log”. 😂Great video SG.

[@joeritter8331]

Some wise dude once said something like, "the highest most enduring type of fun is the stuff that really sucks when you're doing it, but you can look back on it and feel like it was fun." After that it looks like you guys have peaked. Hard to imagine you're going to suffer more for a good time than that...

Major respect for their diligence, especially for the guy behind the camera!. I've done the dead-fall hikes and hate it! Great tips on the bino "snack cup"! I won't criticize them on the effort taken to find the bear they shot because I know a lot of the content was edited out. Kind of a joke for the closed caption to try to clean up the language. It would have been easier to just edit out those parts. My skin is still crawling from seeing and hearing about all the ticks! These guys put in the hard work!
