The Most - A Backcountry Black Bear Hunt

[@DialedinHunter]

Winner is @danemadden! Congrats dude! Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway!

[@case_m]

Elk archery for sure. It’s the perfect size to keep your pack weight down but still powerful enough to glass big country.

[@nickwysocki5311]

Be handy on any extended back pack trip but I’d say it would be absolutely perfect for my NM sheep hunt. Thanks,

[@johnnymathisjr3469]

The spotting scope would come in handy on my December late rifle hunt for couse deer here in southern Arizona

[@hunt3a842]

Love the video! The razor would come in handy for my wife and moms elk hunt in 6a

[@ericwiemann9186]

That spotting scope would come in handy on my and my sons Desert mule deer hunt In December. We just moved to AZ so it will be our first time chasing deer in the desert.

[@chadnnorris]

This would be great on my upcoming backcountry Coues hunt in AZ this November. The size and weight are perfect!

[@bryanearnest6262]

Great stuff man. That size spotter would be perfect for a backcountry Coues deer hunt..!!

[@codymiller7019]

great video josh black bear hunting is my passion, hey josh the razor would be very convenient on the August opening bear hunts here in az you know how hot it is and I hike 4 miles in with limited water and with the razor glass you can see clear ass day also the weight is great for backpack trips

[@royaloutdoors3984]

I think it will work great for run and gun coues when checking out rolling hills from 1000 yards in!

[@kennykinder6221]

This new vortex optic would be perfect for black bear hunting. Lite enough to not weigh down the pack while hiking in, strong enough to find a bear at distance and not add additional unnecessary weight when packing out the meat,. You need room, and every ounce counts but not at the sacrifice of performance. West Virginia in November 🐻

[@ryanlorenz561]

That new spotting scope would work great for my upcoming elk hunt in some big country out west. Awesome film!

[@joelternes2691]

That scope would come in handy on any hunt! From spotting whitetails here in Wisconsin, to the mountain tops glassing elk or mule deer. I just got back from North Dakota that spotter would’ve been awesome on that hunt! Great video man, I have to get out and chase a bear one of these years. That’s one I haven’t done yet!

[@travishisted9087]

Spotter would have been perfect on my bear hunt last week - 25 miles of deadfalls and underbrush - a little glass could've me helped me find a bear!

[@pruemaxwell9427]

I would use the spotting scope in Montana on my first deer hunt! Great video.

[@Corrupted_Aurora]

I could really use this on my hunt I am 14 for a bull elk tag first try really exited to go it’s gonna be up north of Arizona somewhere in December

[@ryangarver4638]

That spotting scope would come in handy on my and my sons Elk hunt In December. And its also his first elk tag. So hopefully we get two down. he’s definitely getting the first shot though.

[@Corrupted_Aurora]

Hi dad

[@BigJohn505]

My wife was drawn for Barbary Sheep on Ft Bliss this year.. That spotter would be perfect to find her a nice ram! Congrats on getting your bear on the 3rd shot! Very cool looking bear!

[@stevenwright5619]

Would work perfectly on archery bull/muley hunts! You the man Josh. Always enjoy your videos!

[@reisbrugger3070]

I would love to take it on my next elk hunt!

[@tylerstein2728]

A small spotter like that would be super useful for hunting muleys in the rut.

[@trussell2505]

We do this stuff for fun. Is so true, even during a hard pack out. That new spotting scope would be great in my pack for next years solo, high buck hunt in my antler restriction unit.

[@MatthewNurisso]

Congrats on a great Bear! Awesome film, you put out great content.That spotter would help in me my Blacktail deer hunt.

[@Backwoodsfried]

That spotting scope would definitely help me get eyes on my target whitetail buck I’d like to kill this year also what would be my first whitetail buck last year I struck out time and time again on him because I just found the spot and him last year this year I’ve put in many more miles and hours into finding his area but being able to watch that from a further distance and not get my scent into those spots would hopefully keep my odds of catching him off guard higher and hopefully it would help in many other hunts in the future bear season ends here at the end of September first season putting actual effort into it not very big woods in Massachusetts so if I find a fresh trail I’ve gotta go full steam ahead to get on it before it crosses a property line

[@jimsumption9525]

I'd think that would be about the perfect spotter to take into the unlimited sheep units. The handful of times I went in I carried the 11-33x50, this one would be a welcome upgrade.

[@jerryherrodphotoalaska]

That little Vortex spotter would be super handy for keeping things light on my backpack Dall Sheep hunts here in Alaska.

[@rogerrowland9887]

That would really help reduce the eight in my bag for my high country mule deer hunt! I’m in love with the razor I currently have the full size 85mm but it’s an absolute HOG!

[@jamesmooney5348]

For me, that spotting scope would work best in my PNW black bear and black tail deer hunts in a 5-8 mile back pack deep hunt

[@cjolson7948]

The new vortex scope would be perfect for a fly in Caribou hunt. Need to keep it light for the ride in and out, but want the performance to make sure you find the perfect caribou, to bring home and to help remember the hunt of a lifetime. Great video once again!!!

[@westcoastmuleys8543]

Coues deer hunting. Great for those long hikes and tough glassing those little guys.

[@ripplij]

That mini spotting scope sure would come in handy on my unit 22 grey ghost hunt this October. I have always wanted one but never had wanted to pack in one of those giants. Great Vortex is offering awesome glass in such a packable package now!

[@nathanbetancur5770]

My buddy has the January deer hunt and it'd be a great help finally having a spotting scope on that hunt. Will also come in handy for every hunt to follow we draw!

[@JSmithHunter]

Great video and nice bear! That spotter would treat me well on my solo Colorado OTC rifle elk hunt, allowing me to go deeper than everyone else!

[@outwest.hunters]

The new vortex scope would be so sweet for archery elk hunting! I never want to carry a full size scope so that scope would be money!

[@Mulletsnmuleys]

Awesome hunt and film! Always a pleasure watching your Idaho hunts. I would use that spotter for High Buck up in Washington State! 🤘🏼🇺🇸🐻🦌

[@amarotovar7256]

Huge fan bro, iv wrapped by head around what u once said, “be comfortable being uncomfortable” this year packing in backcountry in 27, that new Razor will be quite the tool for Bear hunts compared to my Razor 85…

[@claytonhoy3297]

That’s a lovely little scope! I’m packing tonight for my upcoming washington state high buck (blacktail) hunt with a side of black bear! That would be an excellent hunt for that glass; but I can hardly think of a hunt it wouldn’t be good on! Heading over to the NE of the state early October for the overlap of muzzleload whitetail and muzzle elk!

[@austinneice4699]

Getting after the OTC bull elk tag in Idaho! Filled my first tag last year and have had a long 10 months to think about getting after it again! 2ish more months to go, couldn't be more stoked!

[@rubenramos9525]

I would use it for all of my hunts because I haven’t bought a regular spotting scope since I spent all my money accumulating the rest of my gear. BUT the forest is so thick where I hunt that you couldn’t see too far anyways so a small spotting scope would be ideal since I would be focusing on little pockets at shorter distances so anything bigger would be excessive

[@michaelmaggio5915]

Hey man. I'm going on a bear hunt in Idaho in the Spring and that spotting scope would be perfect for me. I enjoy your films and hope to meet you one day. Thanks, Mike

[@BlueshirtBrownpants]

Holy moly fun stuff. Would love you use that scope to spot buck antelope in October! Thanks bud.

[@jamesfarmer3058]

I just spent a week in NM hunting black bear and then rode mules up above 12,000 ft looking for bighorn rams with a friend of mine who has a youth hunter coming for a hunt this week. Wow that Vortex would have been great to had in my saddlebags and been so helpful for judging some rams 😊👍👍👍👍

[@j.r.w6623]

Has quickly become my favorite KZbin hunt show, just got back from my first montana muley hunt and before I just seen this video already had a spring black bear hunt in mind this pumps me up nice shooting josh!

[@DialedinHunter]

I SO appreciate that! Hope you had a good hunt in Montana!

[@j.r.w6623]

@DialedinHunter I did man! Pmed ya some pics of the trip on fb keep the vids coming josh good shit

[@nickorona5236]

Ricknay7 hey Josh thanks for the videos you definitely make me want to get out more and try other states and new merch thank also for showing me how to e scout. The place where I think this little spotter would be useful is on longer backpacking hunts since it’s so small and doesn’t weigh as much as a normal full length spotter and it’s distance is better than binoculars.

[@WildeeProject]

Awesome hunt and awesome film! That mini spotter would definitely be used showing my newborn daughter wildlife and teaching her about the outdoors once she’s older.

[@drakestaheli1648]

That spotter would be perfect on my Idaho deer hunt that I’m backpacking in for!! Lighter weight gear helps a ton!

[@nathanielmelton780]

I have 2 mule deer hunts put west and that will be perfect. The most perfect!

[@kellennaizer]

Honestly that spotter could go on any hunt! At that size and weight it wouldn’t be a burden in the pack whatsoever. Wouldn’t hesitate to throw that in my pack on my Elk, Deer, and Black Bear hunts. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!

[@neilfleming77]

Great film to capture the essence of backpack hunting. I have enjoyed your productions for sometime now. I have an archery elk hunt coming up in AZ. More than just the hunt is the time I will be able to have with my boys. Nothing like getting old and having younger and stronger body’s to help out an old gray haired man dream his dream. Now that my son-in-law, Eric, has moved to Idaho I will be able also pursue Idaho bear as well. Seems like this Vortex would be a nice addition to my experience. I have been motivated since I was drawn for elk to get this old body in better shape. I have lost over 20 lbs. and walked almost daily. So far since April I have logged over 320 miles of walking. At 67, I know I’m playing on the back 9 of my life. None the less, one day at a time and put in the pain to hopefully enjoy the gain. Thanks again Josh.

[@br_turtle8246]

That spotter would come in handy on any hunt for me as I currently don’t have a spotter. Honestly that think looks awesome and everything I’ve read it’s a game changer

[@jeffreyenglebert9016]

Another great film. Appreciate getting to go along for the ride visually. That little Vortex Razor spotter wouldn't take up much room in the side pocket. Coues backpack medicine for sure.

[@Scotty_Mac921]

Spotter would be clutch for a down south AZ Coues hunt! 🤘🏼

[@nathanielmelton780]

What a shot. Man, I think I could use that new Vortex on all my hunts. Amazing bear, congrats!

[@HillBilly_Outdoors]

I would use it on my Sons first deer hunt this year in October.

[@inspirednorthwest]

Beautiful country, awesome hunt and congrats! Would use the scope on all my hunts, it's so compact and light, why not just have it on you all the time!

[@dimitriwessendorf2391]

Thanks Josh for that Film. What a refreshing gem in this saturated platform. Fully enjoyed it!

[@DialedinHunter]

Very much appreciated 🙏🏼. Thanks for taking the time to watch!

[@chrissanchez2623]

Hey man!! We met at Hike to Hunt in Flagstaff after you did one of the courses. Super happy for you as you mentioned this hunt when we talked. Great production and overall story! I would use that little spotting scope virtually on any hunt that allowed for some glassing as its not so bulky and heavy as I tend to leave my other one due to weight. Keep those films coming!

[@traverfields3768]

Awesome video man! That scope would be perfect for my Dakota deer/shed trips. 💯

[@gwhunt1023]

You’re even gooder than I thought after first seeing your videos… A key to Argali offices? Dang! Only the worthy shall enter. :). Great stuff, as always!

[@shadmorefield427]

Any hunt that you are going on in the back country and camping for several days or just quick hunts!! It’s size makes it ideal and perfect for backpack and back country hunts!!

[@jasonjohn1978]

Definitely could use the weight savings of that little spotter on my high country muley hunt. I think using that little spotter would allow you to go to a lighter tripod too.

[@EnvisionHunt]

That all new vortex spotter would definitely be useful in my North Dakota archery whitetail hunt this fall! Love how packable that thing is!

[@dad3562]

Curious if you’ll respond to the gift notification. I did, wanted 64$ for shipping then 102$ for insurance shipping. Not sure if it was real or not. Only paid the $64. I asked them to call me from the cell number provided and hasn’t yet. I doubt it’s Josh to be honest.

[@andrewgonzales7682]

Great video. This spotter would be great for my 2 boys' first youth deer hunts and wife 1st coues deer hunt.

[@christianharkness7241]

A small scope that that would be awesome for those high country mule deer archery hunts when ounces really count!

[@jamers2502]

That spotting scope would be perfect for my Idaho spring bear hunts as well!

[@Bredsun]

That Razor is perfect for my late season mule deer hunt. Low weight….many miles.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

I can see why you had to wait for September 1st to release this sweet redemption story film 🎥. Since you were testing out the new Vortex backcountry spotter. I can also see why you have been looking forward to this hunt The Most. I am happy 😃 that you got redemption from the previous season or two and found a beautiful reddish cinnamon colored boar 🐻. Congratulations Josh. Oh and sadly I don’t have any western or midwestern hunts this year, as you know I had to forgo applying once again but this time because my wife and I were seriously house 🏡 shopping and recently closed on our first house 🏡. But I plan on doing the Wyoming pronghorn and mule deer 🦌 rifle hunt that I was going to do this year, but it will be next year instead. Hopefully 🤞🏻 with my youngest brother and Dad.

[@remingtonbloom6210]

Would use it on every hunt I can. Great content man keep it up.

[@ramblersedge]

Another great film! I would take the spotter on the Idaho spring black bear hunt I have been dreaming about.

[@konnerrussell8902]

Could definitely use the spotting scope for archery white tail hunt in Kansas

[@danemadden]

Spotter would be prime on my January Arizona otc archery coues backpack hunt. Unit 22 😉

[@DialedinHunter]

WINNER WINNER!

[@NicMallo]

Drew back on a giant Whitetail just last week for the archery OTC in unit 27. Unfortunately, the wind took my moment of victory. I would use the spotter to try to pick them up again this winter and put the hammer down.

[@NicMallo]

And as always, great video

[@Andyram_18]

Spring bear!! Backpack hunters dream. Thanks for all of your good relative content. Always willing to answer DMs and give back!!

[@TheLaneyFamily]

Josh. It was awesome meeting you at Hike to Hunt this past July in Flag. Loved this film. Looks so much more rugged than our "big" mountains here in AZ. If I win the scope, that would come in most handy for me on my elk hunt this year in unit 10. Big wide open hills and long distances to cover with that light weight glass would be handy. Sounds like we will be in CO at the same time this year too so maybe we can meet up and help each other with our pack outs. Best of luck on a good Deer

[@MrPharmer25]

I would use that thing for when I finally track down a big old boar in the Arizona back country. Will need to save all the ounces I can while not skimping on the glass!!!

[@danielprice4933]

Man what an awesome film Josh! That mini spotter would be perfect for my archery elk backpack hunt! It looks perfect for the pack!

[@brucewarren474]

Back country Coues and bear. Thanks

[@242brick]

The Mini Razor would be awesome for my dad's NV muley hunt this fall. Great video too Josh.

[@ToddEstep]

OTC elk Colorado, new unit for me with plenty of glassing opportunities. Just need to go light and go long. This would be a much needed addition to my kit.

[@novascotiapsearcher4497]

I have finally been selected for a moose tag after 33yrs of entering our moose draw here in Nova Scotia. This spotting scope would come in handy scanning the Cape Breton highlands for a big bull to harvest.

[@jackmitchell541]

Awesome videos. Just stumbled across your channel. Needless to say, IM HOOKED! Just like you, i would use that scope on all back pack hunt. Smaller size. Slick and sleek!

[@gregjohnson8290]

You are the MAN! Your persistence is next level and the results speak for themselves. I love your videos and appreciate the knowledge you share. The mini spotter would be an absolute game changer on my Arizona archery hunts. Thank you for everything !

[@seankennerson]

Awesome video spotting scope would be perfect for a sheep hunt

[@Rveeee3]

2023 late az bull hunt would give that spotter some good use! Congrats on a successful hunt.

[@spffishing2903]

Spotting hits at the range, and archery deer hunts

[@LUMBRZACH]

Awesome film! That new spotter looks perfect for a Gila Mule Deer hunt this November!

[@danerickson1659]

Awesome film!! Always a pleasure getting advice from you. The spotting scope would come in handy on our annual bear hunt hear in Idaho!! 🙌

[@CouesyOutdoors]

This thing would be great for some late archery deer hunts down south. Great video.

[@Galdrith]

Thank you for always providing insightful and engaging content and for being an ambassador. I’d use this spotting scope for all my hints but every time we’re out hunting the grey ghost… would be indispensable.

[@michaelmaggio5915]

Hey man. Send me your cel phone and I'll call you for info. Thanks, Mike

[@Galdrith]

Info regarding?

[@pkweisel]

@ 62 & uncountable squats, pushups, lunges & planks I keep pressing on in the juniper’s of North-Central AZ to tag another AZ Mule Deer. I’ve seen numerous bears in my travels, but have yet to fill that tag. Thanks for the inspiring videos…

[@Jake_Kerger]

Great video as always! Watching your bear hunts encouraged me to try my first OTC AZ fall bear hunt this year. That new Vortex spotter would be perfect for my back country Coues hunt down in southern AZ this November. Keep the great videos coming.

[@MrNovaAddict]

Love this!! Would certainly use this for elk hunting in the fall. Gear weight is the primary reason I only carry my binos in. Sadly there are so many times I spotting scope would be clutch! Awesome video, Josh!!! You're the man!

[@braedonbeesley3953]

It would be an amazing scope for backcountry elk hunts! That’s what I will use it on!

[@walmal17]

Would love to use this spotter on the first elk hunt in CO for my dad and I! Inspiring film my man

[@scotthjelm5287]

Beautiful bear, great shot. WY mule deer is where the spotting scope would be most useful to me.

[@michaelkasulaitis7928]

Honestly, the first circumstance that comes to mind is using it on a window mount on my truck. Something small and nimble I can keep in my console. Great video as always!!

[@Psalms73.25]

I’m getting more into long range rifle hunting so that would be awesome for shooting practice. Also bear hunting and elk hunting in southern idaho next year 🤙

[@evanleaber8296]

Awesome film and beautiful landscapes man! Your videos inspired me to start bowhunting, so please keep them coming. The vortex spotter would be perfect for an archery elk hunt in Wyoming.

[@brettsearles8478]

Josh, such a good film! Your attention to detail and story telling are my favorite! I’d love to be able to give this spotter to Gage for our rifle bull tags in December! Good luck the rest of the season boss man!

[@ericshipp9483]

Three generation Mule Deer hunt in AZ this November. Already have some glassing spots picked out to put it to work.
