Looking at charley really makes me miss him! Feels like he was my dog, sad. Glad I got a chance to be a part of it all, thanks charley dog. You are such a lucky man to be fortunate enough to have him as a companion. Thanks to you to Andrew for sharing it all.

[@slawson15]

Awesome video! Showing the process from start to finish was great. Many don't realize the work involved. Great job!

[@scottcunningham3110]

Thanks for posting Andrew. Your keeping a lot of us going buddy.

[@pattimarshall5856]

I'm impressed with your adaptability to each new adventure presented to you. Great benefit of working and being independent.

[@hclarke630]

Nice job as always man!! I live my wild side through you man. Keep up the good work on educating me about the wild north. Nice bear!

[@FinsRacksOutdoors]

Gotta love that .270, not to mention Charlie spotting that bear so early on. Keep on posting great content man, I love it.

[@matthewvandevalk3008]

PPS- by far my favorite youtube channel!

[@eqlzr2]

Hey, Man. Great adventure. You are a walkin' encyclopedia of the Wild North. Thanks again for your efforts in preparing these vids for your subscribers. It's much appreciated, Andrew.

[@larhar11]

I get the feeling ur Dad is very proud of you!! Great educational vids also of how to care for pelts! Best of luck to ya!!!!! Truly is "The Wild North". THANKS for sharing...........

[@CmonDudes]

Andrew, I love your videos. It's a part of my life. I cannot wait for each and every video. They keep getting better and better. Keep up the great work.

[@joefunk2137]

Absolutely love your channel! Thanks Man!

[@aonewatchman]

Good old Charlie ... doing his job ... and doing it well! Thank you Charlie for this good video.

[@brianspencer4220]

Fantastic video, far cry from my canoe trips. Glad your efforts will mean some money in your poke. Pray for the bear. Brian 76

[@Joe.Rogan.]

Right on Andrew! Nice bear. Was totally looking forward to this video.. worth the wait.

[@anlcelik8141]

very nice one , thank you for sharing Andrew.

[@rodney12310]

Nice shot Andrew...nice bear too!! Love the bear pelt !!

[@ianstyles9759]

your shot was spot on Andrew, that is a nice bear, good old dog that Charlie, he loves his life out there, you work more in one day then i work all year, lol good luck man...

[@GREATWHITESHARKY]

was recommended by a friend, ended up watching 4 vids in a row, cant believe more people aren't subscribed

[@nickgrossmeyer5468]

Another great shot, nice going Andrew

[@harveypyke4897]

Liked the video hen you first posted it, damn fine to watch it again👍👍

[@ouchfoss]

Black bear is probably my favorite wild meat. Depending on what they were eating, they usually have very little if any "gamie" flavor and make awesome sausage or roasts. Nice bear, Congrats!

[@kurtreinhardt6789]

Beautiful bear- great that you were able to give the meat to the elders as well

[@hollissweedman1494]

very good video as always! you an Charlie make a good team, good to see your dad got in on the fun! Take card guys.

[@parrotbill]

Bear Steak for dinner tonight! I like the way to eliminate a threat, get a new rug and have free meals fir a month, all with just one bullet. Keep up the good work son!

[@robertcarey8237]

you and charlie are living the life most of us just dream about all the best to both of you

[@hunt4fish]

Hey Andrew, not a bad bear, buggers are sneaking around camp eh. Best I got was 192 for one of the bears I sent in to auction which wasn't bad I thought but that was a fall bear with nice dense fur on it. Ole Charlie is still lookin good there I see.........time to do some fishin now ......cheers to ya

[@mushercdn]

That hoop stretching seems to be a lot of work but it makes for a really nice presentation. Nicer than plywood. You are lucky to have your dad giving you a hand. I thought that the flies would get into it more. I'd say that your $200 is low. An XL bear brings closer to $300 lately. You don't want a predator that size hanging around camp. Charlie earned his keep that day. Thanks for taking the time to post.

[@chrome_is_gold]

nice new fishing vids yours are the best.

[@russwhite4446]

thanks andrew great looking bear big ol bull face on that one thanks for the video atb Russ

[@lesliehuerd5685]

I've watched your beaver camp series. Nice job, I'me a beaver trapper myself. And I shoot a .270 .

[@canuckjk]

Knew there was a bigger one! Good job Andrew good video

[@marcomalo02]

Get some, Andrew. Great stuff.

[@not2tees]

Andrew, you're doing great.

[@erikbogerman2048]

i respect that you have respect for your village elders, sir. you dont much of that where im from. with regards, erik from Florida

[@DarrenCharron]

Nice shot that is one nice bear and will make a nice rug

[@ninjawasher]

I have a Remington. 270 best gun I own great flat shooting with awesome knock down power. Nice bear, and Good job Charlie dog.

[@scoejaysimpson2753]

Great season so far man!!

[@rotherin3316]

Man Charlie is really great at what he does... I'd love some more fishing videos too, its been a while :)

[@bonechuggz]

He sure is. He knows he's gonna get a full belly :)

[@patrickgermond2750]

lol that's funny. I do agree he does great fishing videos too. I'm laughing because I was telling him how great more bear in camp videos would be be. And bam he serves one up. Lol he can't catch a break. Hey this video is going to get a lot of views Andrew. It's spot on and there's not many like it. Congratulations on a a job well done.

[@rotherin3316]

Yea Andrew had definitly been releasing some great content, I can see this channel growing a lot in the near future

[@scottcooneymusic6736]

Rotherin He said that he doesn't even really like to fish that much. He said that he likes to catch em for food and stuff. I'm sure he likes the feeling of getting a big pike on and reeling it in but I don't think that it's something that he really enjoys to do aside from doing it for food

[@DobermannDaze]

Great shot! Good boy Charlie.

[@stevewelches1955]

great bear with a good put up. glad to hear you gave the meat to the elders. great vedio as always. keep them comming. please

[@roberthughes3861]

Another nice bear with that 270. Well done brother

[@CJ_Caster]

very nice! I put in for my bear and elk tags here in Michigan. we'll see how I make out at the end of the month. probably not good haha

[@sargefaria]

Nice one bud, another bear...that's great! Nice shot

[@rendezvous5784]

Good job on the bear, looks nice!

[@trollforge]

Bailer Twine!!! Man I wish we had thought of that when we were doing Buffalo hides 20 years ago...

[@jerryseeley276]

Just finished my first season trapping and I have never skinned a bear. It would be great to see you do a how to video on skinning one. GREAT video though, keep em coming.

[@jimbarlow4802]

Hey bud been watching for a few years now first started watching for trapping advise but like the suprise harvests just as much well I hope you keep making these videos for a long time to come.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Jim Barlow yeah it is a great hobby I enjoy video documenting my journeys in the bush I don't see myself shutting down town anytime soon

[@chuckreetz2953]

I would by that as well. Ill start the bidding at 400.Good job Andrew looks good!

[@TheWildNorth]

ok ill go down to fish and game and get a export permit for you do everything legally and ship it off to you i also have 3 lynx pelts from last winter i been hanging onto for bartering tools

[@dmentd75]

Congrats on a beautiful bear- hope to see some smoking and cooking videos down the road!

[@maximefcom]

hey Amdrew, nice clean shot! how many grains are you using with that 270?

[@bonechuggz]

boy those black bear rugs go for a pretty penny bud. good stuff

[@japheth6176]

you always hear you need 30-06 or some thing bigger and here you are shooting with a 270.... your channel is very informative thank you

[@japheth6176]

I use 308, i was going to upgrade but after watching Andrew i am going to keep using my 308. I wonder if it will be enough for an interior grizzly.

[@japheth6176]

I also carry a 44 magnum, i also forgot about my 12 gauge. I guess I will be ok 😊

[@richm444]

I went from 30-06 to 308- alot easier on the shoulder - I do white tails - don't know about 308 on Grizz though

[@japheth6176]

when we go out, we carry a 44 magnum and a 357 magnum

[@mjwickland1320]

As far as the .358 Winchester, the Browning model 81 lever is available in .358 Winchester . Marlin makes a lever in .35 Remington . Also, you might find an older model Remington model 141 in pump action, which is also in .35 Remington . Both the .35 Remington and the .358 Winchester are a 200 grain round nose bullet . All those rifles are less expensive than a Savage 99 .

[@1970jeremiahjohnson]

Great job Andrew. love the videos even though im jealous as hell of the life your living. keep it up man and you better get a full time night woman soon so you can pass this on to your kids.

[@13prevailbushcraft]

Nice looking bear...

[@scottcooneymusic6736]

He always seems to get nice fucking animals. No matter what. Always bagging nice cats in the snow and beautiful little wolverines. Even his minks and weasels are nice.

[@MrJonnabob]

Awesome!!

[@Roy_Fuk]

Hey man great video! Luckily we don't have any bears here in New Zealand aye haha. Have a good one mate

[@hippykdb]

Nice Bear and nice shooting, them 270 shoot fast and straight, that old bear was dead before he ran off!!! I have a 270 pump and I love mine to, deadly accurate!!! Andrew your a bugger for making work for yourself, damn good job on skinning and stretch that bear, to bad fur prices are so damn low could of got yourself a bit more money for all your work. Take care and keep safe, Kevin.

[@rondurham9140]

Hey Andrew, I really enjoy your videos. Don't know that I could work as hard as you do though. Maybe when I was your age. Anyways.... good stuff man.

[@bh02422]

well done. top rate channel

[@E.lectricityNorth]

Whoa, sniper eh? Nice shooting Andrew, nice bear.

[@chrisedminster6857]

living the dream buddy

[@markrigsby2425]

Absolutely

[@andyc8696]

Hey Andrew, love your videos. What do bears smell like?

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Nice bear.... we treed one about that size this year..

[@franksvenshek2604]

You should build a little skid for dragging that kind of stuff out of the bush. Just a piece of plywood with some skids underneath

[@grahampinkerton9975]

Nice gun and nice bear!

[@jrnash2003]

Holy fuck. When Charlie came running back from the bear, I thought that fucking bear was charging you. Made me jump.

[@waynekirkslope]

Nice bear for sure. Looks like bear for supper.

[@KrypticPatriot]

Nicely done would like to learn how to do that!

[@geesehunter76]

About time to look for a puppy so charlie can train him right!!! Nice bear

[@TheWildNorth]

ha ha oh charlies a handful not sure if i can handle 2 charlies!

[@parrotbill]

I got a pup when I knew my old dog only had a few months to go...to soften the blow of a friend who had to move on. My old dog last a year more than I expected because of how happy the puppy made him. So if you got another dog Charlie would love you for it.

[@not2tees]

Don't blame you for shying away from two - something to consider, though -

[@zeekebagley2691]

looks great nothing like spring bear

[@patrickgermond2750]

Sweet! He's yuge!

[@spencer2529]

Oh, that is cool, I was just wondering.

[@karnesrussell]

Nice Bear

[@oskar3378]

Nice bear Andrew! what bullet do you use for that 270?

[@elitebowman5386]

Nice Bear, and a nice job on pelting him on your stretcher. How many Bear are you allowed up there a year? How do you fry your Bear. We usually cook them like venison with onions and salt and pepper. If we cut them up. Usually just put them on a hog roaster. Best way ever to eat. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on another one.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Elite Bowman salt pepper lard open fire in the frying pan

[@keyup2626]

Nice bear Andrew sweet shot, he didn't know what hit him.

[@amcroyals]

nice one!

[@averagefamily4272]

Forget beaver camp it looks like the year of the bear!

[@garywhelton9304]

2 for 2 , good start for the year . the work starts when the animal hits the ground , you can vouch for that now .

[@emptyset00]

good eating. nice pelt, too. lots of fur in the pads of the paws still - he just got out of den! next time try leaving the maggots - they'll clean out bits of meat in the nose. congratulations!

[@dayneroman9162]

when you hit that tendon and got freaked out it reminded me of when i pulled on a goose leg and his foot moved against my hand and i threw it on the ground and yelled. my dad and uncle must have laughed for a solid 2 hours. so no worries about looking foolish andrew. youre not the only one thats had that happen.

[@derekpoosbug]

When I slaughtered my first chicken, my mom said to me after I cut its head off that it was still alive. The damn thing ran off because I dropped it crying. She is truly a evil women lol.

[@derekpoosbug]

Shes a evil women, great one but a evil one never the less.

[@jethrobodine7752]

Nice bear Andrew! You are a hell of a shot with that 270! Fucking A man!! Its nice you gave the meat to the elders. Your a good man. Thanks and take care my friend.

[@mattkucharuk]

Nice bear

[@bernieclement3373]

Always best after taking a shot at a bear to sit back a bit and finish a coffee. Never want to walk up on a wounded bear great video. Nice shot!

[@grousehunter67]

pretty sweet when you don't half to leave the house to go hunting ! ps Andrew is that a rubicon an do you have manual shift or electric , I got the electric shift on mine

[@TheWildNorth]

its a rancher 420 that ones not mine but i do have a rubacon 500 just gettin it tuned up right now i truly love the rubacon

[@fishinbuddy1239]

What kind of cuts do you get out of a bear? Steaks? Roasts? Burger? Little of everything? I'm thinking about harvesting one myself.

[@shawnhall6066]

Great bear #2, is there a season or limit of how many you can take up there.

[@mem7048]

Is that an old railroad bed that leads to your cabin?

[@superscaryeti]

nice shot! that bear is a big one, he would be caused alot of problems once he got really hungry

[@mohawksniper79]

ya some people don't realize how many animals that are in the woods that can take your head in one swipe and thay are hiking with nothing but a backpack full of food lol a bear or Wolverine or Fisher looks at them like lunch with dessert in the backpack lol.

[@waynegeorge2707]

Good shot. .270 is my favorite calibre. I know that you would always try not to let it happen but do you worry that Charlie could get hurt or worse, if he gets too close to a wounded bear? Or for that matter if he chased after a live one.

[@TheWildNorth]

yes of course i worry about that i wouldent shoot at a bear without charlie secured thats why i half closed the window just in case he was thinkin about jumping out. hes pretty good though he listens pretty good

[@waynegeorge2707]

Actually I had no doubt that you've always been cautious. I certainly didn't mean to question that. I'm just talking. I have heard about and watched videos where guys deliberately send their dogs after bears, even a grizzly. Holy shit I mean those bears are so fast and powerful that a big one could wipe out a pack of dogs in a hurry if he chose to. I enjoy all of your videos.

[@ugsisr]

Great Bear! Can I ask a question? Are you allowed to shoot whatever you need to survive over a year?

[@TheWildNorth]

+ugsisr yes I can I am a aboriginal I don't need tags or have a quota. or hunting seasons I can harvest year around

[@dickchiggas1514]

TheWildNorth As well you should my friend. I have the utmost respect for indigenous people - whether in Canada or in the USA. Do you have any regulation on trapping as an aboriginal?

[@disco0752]

Scallin fish is about as close as we gets to skinning. now I know how to skin a bear thanks

[@shaunthibodeau5211]

Andrew how far from town is your camp ? And good going on the bear.

[@TheWildNorth]

from town prob around 130 miles as a raven flies

[@matthewvandevalk3008]

what type of rifle is that? i know its chambered in .270. but what brand of rifle? ps- keep up with the awesome videos

[@TheWildNorth]

+Matthew Vandevalk the 270 is a Savage not sure the model number

[@markski7212]

It says on the rifle. Great movies! Thank you!

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

would have loved to see a scope cam shot

[@TheWildNorth]

+SubArcticWolf Tools & Outdoors yeah buddy that would be cool eh. Wish i was rich to buy cool toys like that eh

[@paulmurphy9902]

good luck andrew we will miss ya eh

[@jimf1964]

Nice job on the pelt, and a better job giving the meat away to the people who have a hard time getting it themselves. Class act.

[@jimgold1743]

Where in the north do you live?
