Any chance you can put up some of the skull dimensions of the 2 huge ones you took so far this year, that chocolate is a beauty and the big white chest on the black
2 incrediable bears.
Well done , way to put together a Great video to watch from my easy chair. Second best thing to actually being there. This year was my first time ever sitting over a bait. i didnt think it looked challengeing or boring until i actually did it myself.
Some observations being a Bow Hunter.
- This provided me time to make an ethical shot where the bear was in a position that allowed me to tuck my broadhead into both lungs.
- They are finicky eaters and take their time enjoying their meals.
- I could be sure the size and Hide were in good condition before i made my mind up to shoot a Bear i was going to have mounted and invest my money into.
- it's actually the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
To bad some have to jump on a post holier than thow .
It takes a long time to sit and write your story out and endless hours editing so others can enjoy it. Retired guy summed up hunting perfect!!
Hunters bashing hunters though, come on dude , sure you have an opinion like everyone is entitled to , maybe just keep it to yourself like a Grown up should be able to.
The problem with the video is that it glorifies the kill, not the hunt.
I completely agree.
I'm starting to think these videos are not really doing us any favours.
It's not easy for most people to digest a kill and we don't hunt to kill (at least I don't).
Maybe it would be a better strategy to film everything else except the kill.
I figure video recording and social media are all new technologies and the infatuation will pass.
One thing I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older, is that most people are ok with giving away your rights as long as they don’t think it will impact them.
We see it in hunter vs hunter topics all the time.
We have to accept that even as hunters we have different tastes. I’ve killed a lot of animals but I don’t enjoy watching videos or hunting shows that focus heavily on kill shots. Not a judgment or a condemnation, I just look for the type of content that I enjoy.
I’ve never hunted over bait so I have no experience. But I do know that I have a strong need for DIY activities including hunting. So if I was to scout, prep, feed and maintain a bait site, I’m sure I would feel very accomplished. But again that’s just my own personal needs and tastes.
To the OP, thanks for sharing.
^^^^^ a lot of my videos show the whole process. I just made this vid as I thought it was neat. For me I like everything about the hunt, even the moment of truth. The whole process is rewarding and exciting.
