David Smith Thanks David. We did this a few years ago but it has special meaning to me because my son was running the camera. He doesn't hunt so this whole experience was new to him. He still doesn't realize how rare this footage is. I'm just proud that he held his ground and got the footage, most cameramen would have run. LOL

If you eat meat you can’t talk shit on a guy hunting an animal he’s gonna eat

If you’ve never hunted, you don’t have the appreciation for an animal like us hunters do.

There's plenty of other outlets for food. If you can afford a pricy bow, you ain't starving. You don't need to kill a magnificent animal to show off. Heartless fucks

+R Joseph Interrante Thanks it was the hunt of a lifetime.

Except for the other guy with the gun.

jkken1 Ridiculous statement to support your position.

@Freecheese It is not a ridiculous statement.Alaska has a brown bear hunt on Kodiak island.They issue so many permits and the hunters are allowed to kill the big males.You are only allowed to take the skin and leave the meat behind for the other animals.There was a whole series about it.It is because the older bigger bears on the island will kill the younger ones.

Absolutely true. We are currently over run by bears. The big males kill and eat the cubs both as a food source and to bring the sow back in to heat.

I'm sure the bears survived before sport hunters came along

You are not smart. Killing the old bear would allow for over population. They have a perfect natural balance, humans are throwing it off by hunting for the big one. 100 years ago tuna caught were way bigger, the big tuna did not get to reproduce so tuna caught now a days are smaller. Same thing is happening with other animals. No balance.

Only real dicks hurt animals

Some ppl might not like what I had to say but last I knew this is America not the USSR. Maybe what I said was unpopular or not exactly polite but idc it needed to be said. Enough is enough already w these ppl and if you can’t say what needs to be said then I will. Seem to be missing the point that you cannot reason w these ppl. They don’t want to be reasoned with.

Thanks it was one of my dream hunts also

Live the Wild Life TV nice job brother very ethical hunt passing on the first bear true hunter great shot the blood was pouring out congrats

Must feel like a real man to kill a helpless, living, breathing animal with high powered technological weaponry. And for nothing more than blood lust. Try joining the Marine Corp and see how manly you are.

+ Steven Branson I respect and even admire a person who hunts for their own food. I also appreciate the thrill of the hunt, it's in our DNA. Hunting just for the sport of it is what I'm against.

Jim Chumley...I want Sarah Palin to sit on my face without her bikini

Wow sounds like a great hunt. It's very hard to explain the exhilaration experienced and the meaning of a hunt like this to someone who hasn't been there. Thanks for sharing your story

I hope you bump into a bear one day ( un armed 😉) 👍

I totally respect what you’re saying, you’re a very ethical decent man.

"a slow death, and that bear did not deserve to die like that". But it still deserved to die though huh.....interesting philosophy

@@davidvanderlugt7731 No one is saying it deserved to die. The purpose of these hunts is to maintain a healthy population of bears in an ecosystem.

This type of hunt is the exact opposite of anything resembling "survival skills" lol

+Karen Kirkpatrick (KayteCanDo) Thanks Karen

+Live the Wild Life TV I was wondering what does bear taste like?

+mikeworld39 It tastes like bear. LOL It's hard to describe It depends on what the bear is eating. The bear meat I have eaten has been a little greasy but very good. And I ate bear steaks on the grill not covered in sauce so I got a true taste of the meat.

Live the Wild Life TV I heard from my uncle that you have to season bear just right to truly enjoy the meat?

Live the Wild Life TV Could a white-tail deer be killed with 5.56 rifle?

Really? Normally I don't really dislike hunting, but this was just unnecessary, was no reason to kill that bear, he was just trying to catch some fish and live his life.

Derpleton Herpson Thats what hunting is all about. Why would you pass on that class bear? Thats a bear of a lifetime.

+N2RRAny Not when there's a guy behind you with a 338.

+Dan Stephens He had a scoped 300win mag wrong gun to stop a bear at 25 yds. And even a 338 at that distance on a charging bear coming out of the bush is not an easy shot. I am sure you put yourself in that type of situation all the time to be able to make a comment like that.

Sorry, didn't mean to get anyone stirred up with my comment. BTW, I've hunted black and brown bears in Alaska. But I used a 300UM and always carried a 454 Casull for backup. Peace.

@@soflodoug LOL

@@soflodoug LOL If It thought I would have been able to kill the standing 100% with my bow I would have shot. This was personal for me I wanted a double lung shot or I was willing to eat my tag.

+Live the Wild Life TV Same should go for human beings. We are almost out of food and water, and two billion more are coming.

No doubt, sensible hunting keeps the ecological balance - but hunting with bow and arrow only means evil torture to the creature and fun for the killer! Only use big-bore rifles. That`s quick and clean.

I disagree. Any poor shot, rifle or bow, will not result in a clean kill. The amazing thing about a bow shot is the apparent absence of shock after the shot. I have had animals run and not know what had happened. They died quickly and cleanly. This bear died within minutes of my shot. It is up to the hunter to decide if he can make a clean double lung shot. If you watched this video you know I passed up a shot on a standing bear because of that very reason.

^^^Internet tough guy huh.....

Live the Wild Life TV I hunt with dogs in the UK and personally think guns can make things to easy dogs take healthy animals but will always pick out the weakest keeping the prey population healthy... guessing hunting with a bow when the animal, especially when injured, can literally take you to pieces makes you MORE careful of your shot and swift closure to a hunt

So as a small teenage kid from the suburbs you know everything about hunting and we should all listen to you and not have are own opinions ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Do us a favour 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ye

Yeah we know

youtuber well why don’t you go out and tell the bears that there’s hunters around the bait. Trust me if bears had consciousness they would be hunting us down daily lmao

exactlyyy

That's exactly what I said I watched the whole thing waiting to see the shot and then that doesn't show anything got to be f****** kidding me

That is not Hollywood and this is not staged or CGI. I am waiting for your own video taken when you stood between the bow hunter and the bear when the distance is 5-7 yards.

you leave the bear where you shot it lol.. bear meat taste like shit

Elk, moose, and bears are all large animals that are hunted remotely and every piece of meat transported for consumption. Usually on the backs of the hunters in many trips over several miles. Bones and entrails are left behind and is usually close to half of the weight of the animal. There are very few or no animals that produce 800 pounds of meat. ( I saw that figure in another Comment I think)

Ptguy0618 that’s what it’s called “ harvest “ lol good one ! He needs to be harvest

Ptguy0618 God ? Holy Jesus Christ ! WOW

Ari Bonneville I thought the sarcasm was pretty obvious ...

Or eat at Mc Do

Falconry Morocco lol

mtnhntr Ok Pilate. If you eat meat your hands are not clean.

Yes I did. Although I differ on the sucker punch part. At 5 yards that bear can rip me to shreds before it dies. I can sugar coat what I did and say that Fish and Wildlife agencies determine how many bears need to be removed to maintain the food supply and health of the whole bear population. Or that larger boars will kill cubs so that the sows will come back into estrous and will breed again. Hell I can go on with more reasons that this is necessary but the truth is this was a rite of passage for me. To take down the largest land predator with my bow on my terms. It's dangerous, exhilarating and what man has been doing since the beginning of time. Sorry you can't understand that. Enjoy your kale. Peace

I understand, but see if you can wrap your head around this. A big misconception is that the Fish and Wildlife agencies are supported solely by tax dollars that are collected from the general public. They are funded by sportsman who pay for licenses and are taxed on the hunting and shooting products they buy. The Pittman-Robertson Act which is also known as the Federal Restoration act became law in 1937. The revenue generated from the excise tax is apportioned to state wildlife agencies for conservation efforts. That hunt cost me close to $20,000.00 and part of that money funds the agencies that protect the wildlife from poaching and uphold the game laws. So although I understand your concern for the death of this bear understand that it is very regulated and does provide some benefit for the total population of bear.

***** hunting for sport is practice for hunting for survival. Would you be able to survive if no groceries at Walmart. What about fishing? Are you against sport fishing too?

Live the Wild Life TV you can hunt my misses for half that price pal

Live the Wild Life TV well said.obviously you do your home work..well researched! ! kale sandwich. lol..gross..think id rather have some grizzly summer sausage!

What do you think they did? Hire a helicopter to come in, put the bear in a harness, and fly it miles and miles to a butchery, have it butchered, and then ate bear meat every night for the next 3 years? Or did they pay a team of 15 people to hike in the next day, put it in a huge harness, and drag it miles out of the woods? Give me a break.

+jaystretch01 I appreciate the comment. This was my second Brown Bear hunt. I took one 4 yrs earlier at 12 yds again a broadside shot on an 8 1/2 ft bear. The bear didn't go 40 yds. This bear went about 80 yds after the shot but this bear was much bigger. This was a personal quest for me and I wanted it done on my terms. A clean kill was what I was after or I wasn't going to shoot. Thanks again for the comment.

@@unnamed4461 point is... life is tough and violent. Humans have been hunting and killing bears for "thousands of years" . Deal with it.

yep

Why cant you all hunters just gather somewhere and shoot each others ? That would be good for nature too

@@arashaghaee8017 I agree! I feel tbe hunter should be hunted:):)

You are just hunting to get your sadistic kicks not for survival.

Yeah, killing for fun is what intelligent people do!

That is the dumbest reasoning I have heard. If you are going to use human history as your tool, it is also in our nature to rape and kill other human beings . How would you feel is somebody did that to you or your family. As beings of modern society, we understand that we are masters of this planet and it is our duty to show empathy to other creatures. Just killing an animal for the sake of sport and justifying it based on some prehistoric predatory instinct is pathetic.

Rape and murder are illegal bear hunting is not.

Well then, tell it like how it is instead of justifying your action. "I am monster with a bow and arrow and I enjoy killing scared and helpless animals and the best part is I have the legal right to do so ".

"Monster with a bow" I like that but again I disagree with the "scared and helpless " when you are describing a brown bear. It is the largest land predator and I know I heard a bunch of moose cheering in the background when he was shot because of all of the moose calves he has killed. Karma

@@tictacdimmy2_348 There's a lot of weird comments on this video.

Lot of fukn retards in the comments.

Why don't you get back to your knitting john boy. Why do you people watch hunting videos if you don't like hunting.

***** Thanks Gus! Very good answers and professional. I have considered hunting again as I used to when I was a child/teen in Texas. Nothing too serious. I am doing serious research on our Native American Ancestors and "other" American hunters have all but depleted the Buffalo. I think Bears should be protected and Boars hunted. I used to be a Fed and cross trained Fish & Wildlife. I carried a gun for over 40 years but in law enforcement. I also worked at the U.S. Mexican Border and enforced 40 agencies 400 laws, etc..I've seen a few videos with bow hunting Bears and they were allegedly within 3-6 feet? Wow ! A little too close, even for Smokey the Bear. Just wondered what the best type of bow is good for me? I am 6'3" tall large build. Special arrows? Tips? Or would you trust an old fashioned wooden bow(Indian style??) Stay safe okay ?

***** Nice ICON Michael! Cloak & Dagger stuff is my background. The biggest problem the Native American Indians had was they were LIED to and they tried to believe their could be Peace between the White American settlers. The Government has not changed very much in 200 some years. American children are NOT taught the Truth about how bad our Calvary and military acted towards the Native Americans by killing women and children and taking their "Scalps", etc...A whole "Culture" was practically wiped out for what? Railroads, Settlers, "Progress"?? I remember the story about how General Custer allowed some high ranking Indians to a "Peace" talk under a flag of truce and were all hanged or killed. ALL the alleged "Peace" Treaties were violated by our Government and Military. In other countries like Japan, the natives who are special or significant are given protected status as living historical landmarks.....PEACE !

Yup.... what a waste of meat..... spring bears are decent .....

Hunting in this form does keep the balance in a good place. There is a lot of research to determine how many can be harvested, and nor over harvested. To be in close proximity to something so big and lethal, would be communing at the apex. I hope you back up your position with money. The revenue for hunts such as this, do more to ensure wildlife thrive, than the hot air you put out. Bad for the ozone too.

Amen
