The Grizzlies Got Us!!!

[@ElkShape]

Full Transparency Here: I poured my heart out on this edit! I didn't want to let the SUBS down that came on this trip. Sure the hunt part sucked, but I wanted them to have a film to preserve the memory of the experience. The camaraderie was REAL and I felt there were some golden moments captured! Thanks for supporting this channel and if you're willing to like and share this film it would be awesome! -Dan

[@pullthefliers]

We’ll done Dan, thanks for taking the time to make memories for us. Also, I had a blast hanging with you, your dad and Tyler. Thanks man.

[@alphonsecoune256]

You did great, Dan! This is something I'll get to show my son one day. That means a lot... I may not have seen a bear. But I met some terrific human beings, and learned so much from everyone. With everyone grinding, hoping for each other, and sharing knowledge... Not since the military have I felt that kind of brotherhood. Iron sharpens iron. Til next time! 🤙🤙🤙

[@williamdesro]

French Canadian here. Had a freaking blast with all of you guys. Dan, for what it’s worth, I’m even a bigger fan now that I’ve met you. Cheers to Tyler and Rod, TABARNAK!

[@ElkShape]

Thanks William …you were a joy to share camp with. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@threm5587]

Salut! J'aimerais m'initier à la chasse, mais je suis un peu perdu! Est-ce que je peux te poser quelques questions ?

[@sarjeant503]

"but i think it's cool, so he can go to hell" hahaha might be the best line of any ElkShape video ever!

[@Smitty_76]

It seemed like a great group of guys to share a camp with. Down the road I think those memories may mean more to us than we realize.

[@TheRealJASK1Tattoos]

Great video Dan. It’s good to remind us that not every hunt goes as planned. And sometimes we have to roll with the punches and adapt to what life throws our way.

'berta boy here. love the content. and love that your bringing attention to the grizz issue in ab. the population hasnt been studied ( as far as i can know) since 2006 when a moratorium was placed on griz hunting. the population was 1200 in the mountain region and i dont think the Borial forest was looked at in depth during that study. iIthink the population desperately needs to be re counted and some tags issued. Ive had 2 of my fav hunting honey holes ruined by big ol boar grizz. glad you enjoyed some of alberta's fine forests!!!!

[@drewolm]

Wow! This is the best vid you guys have put out in awhile. The fletching jig was cool. I’ll stay with Bitz but I like having options. That Dan McCarthy system is fire. I had no idea about these and I’m definitely buying those.

Podcast was great and really like the video! Pretty awesome products I hadn’t seen before!

[@brycekearns207]

Really liked that you did a rundown of everyone hunting setup!!!

[@dboots1421]

Love that you are keeping it real!! Tks

[@ElkShape]

Always! 👊🏼

[@jkeithhowe]

I love the way you weaved in your podcast with the footage. Although the hunt results might not have been what you wanted this is some of your best editing work to date

[@ElkShape]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Bowsonthebrain]

Learned something today! That fletching jig is sweet so is the timing system!

[@Jase-E]

Just a heads up, the "in-time" system mentioned in the video, can be easily replicated by using D-loop material. Cut and burn a section so that you're left with 1/16" to 1/8" between the burned ends. It'll sit nicely in your cables. Find the perfect tune spot and tie it in place. No need for the extra purchase. Keep it simple. Same concept as the Bomar Peep Tuner.

[@mattsoutdoors7757]

I have the goat fletching jig. It works ok but they don't last all that long. I find that the bitz is a good all around jig.

[@BirchBarkOutdoors]

Tough situation but I like how you kept this pretty positive. I head out for my spring bear hunt next week here in Maine. Hopefully I have a lot less hurdles but no grizzly here so that’s a plus.

[@ElkShape]

Good luck!🍀

[@justintorres08]

Hahah the Dudley impersonation so funny hahah “squeeze your butt cheeks” hahah

[@ElkShape]

All in good fun 🤩

[@alphonsecoune256]

Thanks bro 😅 papa Duds has been an idol to Craig and I for many years and is always mega cool to us at TAC! Seems like everyone in the archery-sphere is just awesome. Cheers bud!

being stationed in alaska Homer is my #2 drive and from anchorage to Valdez is my #1.

[@dp5430]

Saw Chris Bee learned from a Mathew’s tech to separate and twist half of the fibers in a cables cam loop. For a “1/4” twist effect.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Sweet episode brotha!!! Tough damn luck. I'm going on my first bear hunt ever this fall in northern Georgia and I'm friggin stoked boys!!!

[@perryknetter8577]

That's hunting I stopped going to Canada when covet hit. Great video Thank you

[@richardmacias624]

I really enjoyed this video man.

[@ElkShape]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ElevatedTines]

Fellow jealous Red Deerian here, 97% sure after the bridge clip you passed my spot I have a 300+" elk shed from, that's cool stuff 🤣 Glad you like Banff too!

[@ElkShape]

Banff is unbelievable!!!!

[@BowMadOutdoors]

Surprised you’re not on the history channel yet! Great film!

[@mister_elk]

Damn if you guys come by Calgary next time let’s get you guys fly fishing for a day! We’ll line up a couple boats from the shop and float the Bow River

[@bulltroutoutdoors9440]

I was born in Homer but we moved to Montana when I was still a baby. 24 years later and I’ve still never been back. It’s an odd feeling, having such a deep connection to a place I don’t remember. I feel that if I go I may never come back.

[@mjc_208]

Excellent video.

[@ElkShape]

Thank you very much!

[@emmasmomma511]

Sorry you didn't connect on that trip, but you learned that thermacells rock for mosquitoes!😊

[@ludoxvici]

Where did he say drive through ?

[@CoachMANdler]

Jealous of the guys that made it up there to hunt with you. Would wear a steak skirt through a lions den to learn what from you in the field! By the way, those Thermacells are a MUST hunting early season whitetail in Georgia. Work like a charm.

[@jannsenmarzan3730]

Just picked up a Goattuff fletching jig right after watching this

[@ElkShape]

Seriously impressed with it!

[@lukeingram5384]

Come to Saskatchewan there's lots of bears here!!!!!!

[@pennyontrack]

Put it in speed mode and test. If this is a full time gig you should be thorough. Thanks for the videos though I enjoy them

[@Huntressbow308]

Grizzly bear hunting in Canada needs to change but unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’s heading in that direction. I truly believe that grizzly bears and wolves need to be hunted so the numbers don’t get out of control.

[@mattsoutdoors7757]

Ok July 1st and 2nd is our 100 3d target shoot at capital city bowman in olympia. Camping is available and there are hotels and motels about 10-15 away. If you are interested in going send me a message and I'll give more info about it.

[@Pariscj]

I know in comparison to a grizzly black bear doesn’t seem as scary but they can mess you up bad and a sow with cubs will come at you.. this past week i killed a huge black bear with a 18 13/16 skull and and when i got to him I was thinking wow this could go bad

[@shanequimby4889]

Grizzly 😮

[@rhoadesX24]

Still have to get the jab to get into Canada?

Negative 👊🏼

[@fuenstock]

When your baiting for black bear and you become grizzly bait! Yikes!

[@Muskiehunter92]

Thermacell is essential in the woods early season. For fishing, hunting, shooting, camping... anything. I shoot a ton of 3D tournaments and you bet your bottom dollar there is a thermacell on my belt or in my pack! Also regarding the grizzles and sidearms.... I agree with you completely... its a shame that the Canadian government thinks its too dangerous to allow hunters to carry a sidearm for defence. Our firearms legislation is as retarded as it gets, and with our radical liberal government its reached peak levels of lunacy. Shotguns are legal to carry, but when fly fishing and doing other outdoor sports its not always practical to have a shotgun strapped on your back... Its a real shame that our politicians think licensed gun owners are the ones to crack down on. This country is slipping down a dangerous path these days ever since justin trudeau got in power... Legal pot and gelled hair was all it took for him to slip his tentacles into this once awesome country. Anyways, Love the channel, great videos and content!

[@waynemgerrick]

What are the boys from Ohio socials ?

[@ElkShape]

I dunno!!!!!

[@deanbrantley]

So they don’t put up blinds because bears will destroy them? Then sit and hunt out of said blind? Heeellll na 😂

[@EntryLvloutdoors]

You're a horrible listener

This is one of your best videos yet..! Cheers boys, and thanks for all the brain data Dan.. Appreciated greatly.. 🦘🪃🙏
