Millertime89 and I are flying out tomorrow headed for BC, if all goes right tomorrow night we should be landing in Prince George for a couple weeks of bear action.
We have our PSE's and our new .338 Edge long range rifle.

It appears you are quite close to the sow and 3 cubs. I would have been very nervous.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you are seriously asking for trouble there, unless the camera makes it appear alot closer than you really are.  Your just asking for a charge and then you'd have to put her down.  I get a bit ticked when folks push the envelope and then have to put a sow down for them being to pushy.   :twocents:
 
Good luck with your hunt and I love your show so far.  Just a thought to keep in the back of your mind (heck you probably already do this) but some camera shots are not worth it, for you or the game.
Title: Re: BC Bear hunt
Post by: jackelope on May 17, 2011, 04:26:41 PM
Bad juju there...3 almost full grown cubs and mama at close range. Probably about as dangerous as it gets when it comes to cubs with mama IMO.

Dont worry boys, There wasnt any chance of the sow getting shot. The rifle was in the truck..
We were careful to have a safe bear to Matt / Matt to truck ratio ;)

Post by: Machias on May 17, 2011, 10:26:56 PM
Glad to hear about the bear to Matt/Matt to truck ratio!  Not so thrilled to hear about the no rifle.    :chuckle:     Be careful out there!!  We want lots more good episodes!!

Today was our last day to hunt with Cariboo Mountain outfitters.
IT was snowing like mad when we got up, but finely around 5 PM we found a bear. Not the biggest one in BC but I was stoked to be able to fill my tag on the last afternoon.

Looks like you guys had a great time.  Actually I am pretty sure you did, since you were filming and hunting with one of my best friends.  I have hunted with him for over 15 years now, and it is never a dull moment with Bob around.

So now the question... Was his bear really a 7 footer or can I give him all kinds of grief?   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Absolutely love the pics of the grizzlies.. they are so awesome to watch in the wild.

Bob is a awesome guy! He even took pictures and video for us!
His bear was a legit 7' so you will have to give him grief about something else ;)
