They are for sure

[@frankmallory6584]

Awesome!!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

[@aricbartlett7127]

Hike weekly, still gets you outdoors.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It sure does

[@mitchishida3140]

Loving the Hunt Weekly and the Icon Tour videos. Beautiful country with lots of animals regardless of not finding the right one but that's hunting!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks mitch

[@reapergrim76]

Great stuff! 👍🏻 😊

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

[@martinfreitas952]

Ross, you could call it exercise weakly.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

So true

[@tonyhanson6730]

There you go again. Having so much fun !!!! Nice elk!! Next week will be better!!🎉

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Fingers crossed

[@nathansmith4950]

I think the bears will hold ,up more n windy times more then not windy .. But you never know in hunting .. Thank you ross for another upload.. Hunt weekly..

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks Nathan

[@daveeness104]

Work and school, the two greatest interrupters of hunting. Sweet country. Thanks for sharing.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

The necessary evils

[@jesseduval89]

Nothing like going on a nature hike with a gun. Fun seeing the deer and other critters out and about, looking good after winter!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Lots of those walks

[@jamesscott4708]

Gotta love those northern spring storms lol, keep up the grind,good luck.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks, you too!

[@jmcsflem]

When you don’t see any bears but mostly likely see other animals. Is one of the reasons I enjoy spring hunting.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

That is so true

[@rugged_ridge_runner]

I enjoy the quality of films you are putting out. The quality is sharp. And spring bear hunting is just amazing.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks so much

[@242brick]

Awesome country, looks like a blast.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It was!

[@86mhayez]

Love bear 🐻 season

[@marcusluna209]

Living close enough to your hunt area where you can slip in an afternoon hunt and be home at a decent time for school or work the next day is awesome. Someday I'd like that opportunity.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

We feel pretty lucky

[@archeryhunter86-]

The weather this year has definately been annoying. Been enjoying the content. Keep it coming.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It’s been all over the place

[@leonwells9953]

Such a true statement Hunt weekly not kill weekly. As always another good episode. Darn wind and rain.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks leon

[@richardglaser723]

As long as you are out in the woods , it's a great day

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

That is true

[@tomdorsey6028]

Really like your bear content!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thank you!

[@13hawks32claws]

You never know unless you go. 💪🏻

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

So true

[@bryankriha5925]

Awesome

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thank you

[@brandoncusmc]

seeing tons of deer and elk, I’d call that a good trip

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It was a blast

[@mattgoin]

It's a hit and miss thing with the rain/storm. I've had it go both ways. I always figure it's hard to shoot something from camp or the truck. That's depending on how bad the weather is of course! Thanks for sharing Ross! Keep grinding

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thank you for watching

[@billbarr7948]

Always good to see some game animals even if it’s not what your looking for

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

That’s true bill

[@colinwalker6102]

Nice

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks

[@2013BCom]

New location opportunities and persistence can lead to success... good luck!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Yes sir

[@ves5110]

always like you video; keep up the great work

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks, will do!

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍a lot of deer and elk which was good to see. We have a long deer(whitetail) season where I live and we have a liberal bag limit…… 3 bucks a season and a doe a day but I have many more days that I don’t shoot something than days I do and I still enjoy those days just as much. Like you said that’s why it’s called hunting and as I get older I’ve learned to appreciate all the days I have out in the field. Thanks for the video.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Couldn’t agree more, thanks so much for watching

[@davidwills8803]

Nice hike to see lots of deer and elk. Better luck finding the bears next week.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Can't wait!

[@legoboyjj]

Great to see so many animals out. Just not the right kind for you guys. Thanks for the video.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

They somehow know

[@Patrickmetaldetecting]

Good video. Keep them coming.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks, will do!

[@chrisbeck3587]

Love the entertainment! Crazy year with the weather! The wind is tough in any situation. Never had much luck trying to hunt in it.

[@ryananderson2860]

Definitely think the wind affects bear movement for sure! Another great video!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

I think so too!

[@joshuamorrison4832]

Man spring bear is my favorite, keep at it. Not had much luck in the wind, or rain.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It’s one of my favorites

[@chrisparker8332]

I hope that Black Ovis rain jacket is lightning proof!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Luckily we didn’t get any lightning

[@carrillo4395]

The weather reminds me of hunting spring turkey. Lots of elk around

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Elk everywhere

[@brettprice5600]

Hunt Weekly = Men Hiking With Guns! I like the realistic content you present. You could show more videos of elk and deer, just for my entertainment.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks for the feedback!! I appreciate it

[@bwanandhunter3946]

Lots of good stuff here, but that tree still standing given how little of the trunk was left is pretty amazing.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

And how solid it was

[@karlweiby2307]

Always enjoy getting out in the spring and seeing animals headed up the mtn. At some point you’re gonna be covered up in bears!!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

I sure hope so

[@OfficialDjDabz1]

Gotta love Idaho weather 😂

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

If you don’t like it just wait 10 minutes

[@mulie4x4]

Dangit wrong last name lol. The deer and elk sure look healthy! I am liking these weekly hunts. Keep it real

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

😂

[@russellwatters5891]

That's a crazy weather swing! The bears are probably in the lowlands, they got tired of nose bleeds from the altitude...lol 😂😅 I don't know how ya'll do it. 😅 Love what ya'll are doing 😊

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Haha, we gained a lot of elevation for sure

[@Sines_0915]

Good ol spring storms!! Had snow today at my place

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Same here

[@lukenielsen1417]

Dang that was some strong wind at the end of the video. I really look forward to seeing the new video every week we don’t see many elk in our part of the woods here in western Washington anymore do to “hoof rot” keep up the awesome videos.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

That is crazy about your elk

[@orion84037]

Great content and beautiful country. I cannot believe you did not trip over one shed.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Me neither

[@destrywilcox6534]

Always nice to get out. nice you can get out so quickly.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

You got that right!

[@crookedridgephotography2797]

Another cool hunt)m! Couple more weeks before the

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks so much

[@tannershippy1604]

Good ol sping hunting

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks tanner

[@troycoats6677]

Keep at it there’s bears in there somewhere!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

There are for sure

[@jacobwalters533]

Cool seeing all those elk and deer. Keep at it.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks, will do!

[@gregchatham3890]

Wow that weather was something else and catching all that wind was crazy. Nice herds of deer and elk but unfortunately no bears. Not a total loss with plenty of wildlife, makes for an exciting hunt, even though the bears didn’t want to come out. You’re lucky to live in a beautiful state like Idaho, never been there but hopefully someday I’ll make it out your way.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Definitely super lucky

[@yotaclimber]

I headed up to my hunting spot and noted that the elk look really healthy this year as well. its a good feeling knowing the winter didnt wreck em. Although the lack of snow here in idaho still has me a bit scared for summer.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It was great seeing them so healthy

[@alanburdette5802]

Always hate when work or school gets in the way of a great day in the woods

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It always gets in the way

[@mervinhershberger7284]

Yeah hike Weekly might sound more like it, but you get to see a lot of country during these Weekly hunting adventures

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

So true

[@glennjohnston1878]

My three boys would have tried to get that burned tree to fall😂... Keep taking the kids out!!!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Bennett was hoping it would come down to

[@tylerhenderson5251]

I personally feel that high winds puts all game species on edge. It greatly diminishes several of their defense mechanisms. They are better off finding some hole to hide in and wait for better weather.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Couldn’t agree more

[@mikesimmons7539]

That wind is as bad as the wind is here in good ole Oklahoma , and that's saying something .

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It was pretty crazy

[@johnecrouch2671]

I've never had much luck on baits if it's super windy or storming. However, twice I've seen bears either show up directly after a storm or during a break in the weather. If I hadn't stuck it out I wouldn't have seen them.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

If there is a break it can magical on a bait

[@bigcountryhunting7688]

Idaho... where you can experience all four seasons in one day

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

So true

[@kentwiggins8677]

It’s great to see elk have wintered in good shape, need a NY hat on someone to find the bears!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Haha, maybe next week

[@edbranson4175]

I wanted to see Bennett knock that snag down. Good looking country and it is still early for bears. Dang weather.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

He wanted to knock it over, bad thing was it would have fell on him from where he was standing! 😂

[@jacobpatterson7583]

Don't feel bad it snowed off and on in my part of idaho today too. All the shed hunting I've done I haven't seen any sign of bears being out yet usually see a few and some sign by now. By baits also aren't being touched yet.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It’s pretty crazy how late they are coming out

[@gagebrock17]

I started not going when I get winds 10+ . I’ve noticed the same doing spot-stalk.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

I think they just hunker down

[@darrellryan2337]

Nice that you get to see a lot of animals. need to tell the boys to smile more like you do. makes a better video. love your stuff.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

I will let them know 😂

[@C_Outdoors823]

Beautiful landscape you have there, it's wild to me that your still getting snow..... We get snow once every other year or so, but its not legit snow its more of a slush type snow that just makes for a nasty day. Best wishes for the rest of your season.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Thanks so much for watching

[@bobsummers8150]

I'm not a big bear hunter. But it would be fun to go with you!!

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Spring Bear has become one of my favorite hunts

[@cameronlogan5035]

Those spring storms can really put a damper on your hunt especially in the bear woods

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

So the

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

True

[@Jadegoodman15]

Isn’t that how it always works out. If you were were hunting you would be seeing Bear.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

So true

[@jakedavis676]

Then they're donut good times

[@bearpaw9204]

I was the first...that's a first for me.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

Winner!!!🥇

[@kevincollett1537]

Very good try. You keep it up every week and you'll be in tip top shape to pack an elk out come fall.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

That’s the plan

[@WALLOWINGBULLS]

This hunt weekly is good stuff, I need to get off my rear and try the same. What bipod are you using on the Sig ?

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

It is made by magpul

[@bugle247]

Did your road get paved? Where you are walking and announcing winners.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

We moved down into wagon wheel

[@bugle247]

I’ve had the same issue on windy days both spot and stalk and when I’m on bait. They don’t seem to move much on windy days

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

That’s what I have been seeing

[@dustygreydanus7309]

Second week in May seams to be when the bears really start moving. At least you should be in shape when it comes time to pack one out.

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

I hope they start moving

[@seanfennell4360]

Would love to go out with your group.

[@mikepeters2756]

You go bear hunting, you end up scouting. Next time go scouting and you will probably see bear. 😂

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

That is so true

[@zachtarbet6574]

That is some awesome country, but man that is so steep country and always tends to bring some high winds. How do you find a new area when you have never been there to find bears?

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

They usually seem to be around steep drainages with a rivers or big creeks in the bottom where we are at

[@shanerichters8633]

Am I ever going to win again?? 😂

[@SwitchbackOutdoorstv]

🤞
