Big bear bumps into traditional archer's arrow 

LOL

Man is winning :) Beautiful trophy :)

“Excuse me sir? Have you heard about the good word of Bear Jesus? Wait you aren’t a bear! RUN!!!!!”

Man people are soo fucked up 🤣🤣🤣

Lol love it

bait is bait. A true hunter goes into the wild alone (no cameraman/rifleman backup, guides, and equipment porters like this chump had), naked (except for lions cloth shorts), and harvests a bear with a spear. and its doritos not cheetos i'm enjoyin in my ROOMMATES basement (they just happen to be mom and dad).

All these hunters are just bored psychopaths trying to act tough. Hopefully somebody will gutshoot them in front of their kids and leave them there.

You are literally telling the world you have no clue what you are talking about. Cool story, phak.

Fr bro there not too smart

yeah i thought the same thing. the bear didnt decide to "not eat them", thats ridiculous.

@@i.m.s.s2564 Read his comment again a few more times and REALLY SLOWLY. 'Kay, pumpkin?

Agreed, I thought the same exact thing. I don’t believe in hunting predatory animals. Have no desire to hunt bears or lions never have.

Just heard about this video on the meateater podcast and had to come see it! Wild ass video! Good hunting Clay!

Same here. I just listened to that episode today and had to watch the video

Dilloncw thanks Dillon.

Dilloncw Don't get me wrong, I'm all smiles for our boy! But as a beginner who's still very much learning, would you mind expanding on the theory behind that statement brother? Why is it that you say that a Bear who has shown that upon locating Humans, through scent, vision, hearing etc, a bear in feeding mode that decides humans aren't on the menu, at least on this occasion. Why would this bear be without debate - the more dangerous individual, moreso than for example, a bear who chooses, basically anything else? Taking a nibble etc?

MMA Fight! Magazine Ik this is late but, not everyone in the woods is going to be an experienced hunter, there will also be hikers that partake in this forest who may not know how to react to a bear walking right up to them, they may try to run which will make them seem like a prey target to a bear, or even if there’s children the bear would 100% see those as a prey target

MMA Fight! Magazine Never saw your comment but the reason I said that is the most dangerous kind of bear is because it knew that there was a human there and didn’t leave, it wasn’t scared of him at all and a bear that isn’t scared of interacting with humans is a dangerous bear. This is why they tell you not to feed bears or any other wild animals because the animal loses its fear of humans. I get what you’re saying when you say that an aggressive bear would be more dangerous but the point is that this kind of behavior is what leads to an aggressive bear because they aren’t scared of humans and are more willing to be in a situation with a human where they feel pressured and become aggressive.

Dan Epperson haha....you’re like a pioneer without a map.

Bear Hunting Magazine lol I Blaze my own trails thanks.

Eh, I'm not the only one

Same here

Tom Hickman thanks for the comment. Right on.

Bro we gotta eat them.

I haven't hunted before, but this is exactly what I thought.

I am all for to each his/her own. That said, he is on a bear hunt far from home, he's already had an emotional miss, and this is an impressive animal. Completely understand the shots and congratulate him on a great harvest.

@@johnjones1534 nahhh that’s stupid logic. Bear let them live. Could’ve killed them and they harmed it. It’s screwed up and there’s a reason bear hunting is illegal in half the states buddy. If they would’ve been on the news the next day with there body’s carved into I would laugh. Cuz to each bears is there own. Would literally turn a blind eye if the bear started mauling them and I knew I could help. You took the chance & you know the risks. But don’t justify hunting for sport and meat unless it’s justified and have a license and it’s lawful and feels right. These POS go out and hunt bears for SPORT. Hope they get mauled and get taught a lesson soon

@@JB-pp1kt if you spend 30 minutes, you’ll see that Clay uses the bears he harvests extensively and probably uses more of the animal than any other hunter I’ve seen so hop off your high horse and go to the grocery store

@@JB-pp1kt "bear let them live" now that's stupid logic.

Shucks....thanks bro. Appreciate the comment and support.

Does your way of life include sucker punching. He only released his arrow after he realized the bear was no threat and wouldn't attack him.

Fyi a sucker punch is when nobody saw you. Hunting channels now and says are a bunch of bridges and anywhere you there's a bridge there's a troll

@@BroScience710 Are you inbred? That is the only excuse for what you just wrote. That would excuse your stupidity. If you proof read the things you wrote I would understand them.

@@BroScience710 A sucker punch - is a punch made without warning or while the recipient is distracted, allowing no time for preparation or defense on the part of the recipient. The term is generally used in situations where the way in which the punch has been delivered is considered unfair or unethical, and is done using deception or distraction, hence the term 'sucker' used to refer to the attacker.

Fucked up

Easy to say safe behind a keyboard

Google "bear bluffing." Grizzly bears and even black bears do a thing called "bluffing" where they act passive and friendly right before attacking. If a grizzly bear comes anywhere near you during hunting or even camping, they will act friendly at first right before an attack. You need to either kill or it scare it off with bear pepper spray or loud yelling and posturing. Stop trying to rebuke those who have experienced things you will never encounter.

@@nicknickson3650 I live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado bucko. In the mountains not in a city. I guess there's no bear in the Rocky mountains huh? You're a fool. You weekend hunters think you know it all.

@@zap... that just makes things worse. How do you live in the Rocky Mountains but don't know what bear bluffs are? You need to educate yourself before something bad happens

@@nicknickson3650 Really Nick? Bear bluff? What bad thing is gonna happen smart guy watching RU-vid videos? Seems you don't know squat about black bears.

"Hunted" this guy didn't do any tracking or stalking. He went and sat in a blind over bait with bears that are used to humans and don't fear them.

OfficialBatman1337 I agree fully with you but that’s not the point, I understand the way their “hunting” isn’t really much effort and can hardly be called hunting, but why do ppl insist on going to pages that they don’t like just to flame when you’re better off ignoring it cause it doesn’t effect you in anyway.

@@frustratedlemur I clicked on the video expecting the guy to be actually hunting instead of this trash. The thumbnail and title was really misleading. He was in no danger at all. The bears didn't care about him.

OfficialBatman1337 my original comment wasn’t meant for someone like you. You actually clicked expecting a hunt, other ppl click to complain that hunting is wrong. That’s the ppl my comment was targeted towards.

Right on, bro! Thanks for having our back!

Woww 🙌👏👏👏👏

No it isn’t

@@civilcaliber475 certainly not by killing bears in the woods

Maroš Goč where do you think animals live?

An amazing "catch" i think its a kill bucko

@Subudei Dude, as far as I understand the video they deliberately went on a hunt and searched for the bear! Keep your no choice bullshit, he made that choice when he went hunting bears with a puny bow! As for hitchhikers, they have no right nor need to go into bear-territory. If they just would let the bears alone, nobody would get hurt!

IAD Fishing I like hunting “but”..... you don’t like hunting..

@@Kylehikes47 +

IAD Fishing hunting has been going on as long as humans have been around. There is a distinction between man and animals that is profound and important. Those who are farthest from the natural world have the most extreme attitudes towards the protection of animals. It is ironic that many people who have these extreme ideas of protecting animals have no problem with aborting a human baby. Hunters have the most respect for wild animals because they want them to be around for future hunts. Wish more people respected human life to love and respect the unborn babies that are treated like bio waste.

@@sheldonberg125 very well said!!

@@sheldonberg125 I have a problem with aborting human babies, I also like the hunt as a mean to eat. I even respect hunting for sport if it's respectful and not harmful to the wild life of the area. But I have a problem with western adrenaline addicts hunting wild animals at point-blank range without even trying to surprise them when they're obviously accustomed to human interaction. It's morally questionable. I eat meat everyday. Did you get my point ?

Thanks, David.

@rustytr comic book reader lol

Best way to put it 👍 Agree 100%. What goes around comes around. He will soon learn this 👌

Jk idiot hard a nail is a fool

Thats called hunting so remote they aren't used to humans yet. That is hunting!

You are not a hunter at all. If you are post pics on your channel or stop lying little boy.

Thanks, Bob.

TheMarioMen1 thats our way of showing respect. Thanks for your interest in our video.

No because the had no reason to kill the bear .the bear came right up to them and was leaving when the took their shot .let them live or one day their gone beautiful animals. Ye boys out killing them

@@keithkeegan2956 Do you know what conservation is?

Keith Keegan well they hunted it it’s all pretty regulated keeps the numbers up they won’t all just disappear from hunting

@@TheMarioMen1 Your grammar is wierd af.... But they have to keep the predator level at a certain level to prevent other vulnerable animals from dying off.

Thank you for watching. Bear hunters are the good guys and our critics don't understand scientific wildlife management nor the sheer numbers of black bears in Canada.

@@bearhuntingmagazine Its not about that. I work in the forest, for the forest (in wildfire management though, not wildlife but we work closely together). What made me dislike your video (and keep in mind, it randomly appeared in my feed, Im not aware of the controversy). Is the cheap shot you took. It seems that this would have been a great occasion to have mutual respect. The bear showed you respect by leaving you alone when it could have killed you (most likely) easely. It seems like the good guy thing to do would have been to spare his life during that moment. Don't be fool enough to believe that everyone disliking your video are suburban morons who don't understand anything about conservation. Disliking your video isn't an attack either, its a simple expression of dislike. I disliked that you didn't give him the same "respect" he gave you in such an incredible encounter, coupled with what looked like a very badly aimed shot, therefore I disliked the video. As far as you personally, I don't know you, so it can't be personal.

HoboTango understood. However, both shots were right on for a bowhunter.

@@bearhuntingmagazine Yeah, well I'll admit I don't know anything about shot placement on a bear. It looked like the shot were taken carelessly but Im glad to be wrong on that.

@@HoboTango I think the bear came too close to the hunters, it had no respect from humans. Next time it could attack people. So I think the hunters shouldn’t have spared its life and they did a good work, such animals must be shot.

It didn’t, bears usually come and investigate than almost immediately come back to see if your edible and they will either take a chunk out of you or attack harder. He would’ve mostly likely been attacked anyway

Bear usually arent agressive, if they feel in danger they eitjer inspect or run away, if they have cubs to protect they attack

its called hunting

@@i.m.s.s2564 if you lay bait, is it trapping?

@@allangbarrie if u lay bait with a trap, its trapping. if you hunt, its hunting.

same thing popped right away also in my head...

EXACTLY. THE QUESTION IS: WHO IS THE ANIMAL? HE KILL IT WHILE THE BEAR LOOKED HIM IN THE EYES. THAT'S NOT FAIR. 😭

@Lord Ball-sac the 2nd I can shoot a dragon in the head from 3 feet away I'm a hUnTEr.

@Lord Ball-sac the 2nd I agree, but when it lets you live and you have a magical moment. Which rarely happens to anyone and you ruin it by shooting anyway, your just a turd in my book.

@@danjan5506 you do understand that the goal in Bowhunting is to get as close as possible right? would you like it better if he shot from further away?

This hunter is disgusting!!The bear was obviously friendly. It's a crime to kill it

@@cmich4345 Wild animals are not "friendly" nor evil. They don't share your human emotions. The bear backed away when it realized it was not normal prey, and most black bears have an instinctive distrust of humans. You have forgotten your roots.

Billy Allen thanks Billy. Appreciate it.

Fully agree with your dislike of bait hunting, I wonder if this bait hunter uses a salt lick for Deer... The only time I use bait is in my Mouse Trap...

You cant spot and stalk in the canadian boreal forest lol. Its bait or dogs in that thick stuff

@@TMeightRsClanor The "" Canadian boreal forest "" is more open then your mind and ' Knowledge of the facts, nice try of distortion...

If your going to bear bait, yet allow the bear to walk right up to your face giving him a chance to kill you, then I'm all for it.

Some countrys its illegal to hunt with bait, for example here in finland, hunting wiht bait isnt even considered hunting here and you can get a fine or jail time hunting with bait.

Думаю что нет, у этого маньяка-охотника аж экстаз начался после второго попадания... Слов нет. Бедный мишка!😢

Yeah no kidding.the Bear was not aggressive

I was thinking the same thing. Should have let him live and go for other ones

And I’m tired of seeing the comments saying “he spared you and you shot him”. I know for a fact bears do not understand the concept of sparing someone or having mercy.

Well said brother!!!!!! You’re exactly right.

I agree with you here. Wildlife in any of its manifestations should never be anthropomorphized (imbued with human thinking or feeling). I am sitting here thinking to myself, if you had missed his nose with the tip of your arrow and not given that bear a pause for thought he was likely to have gotten into that blind with you. No amount of bear spray would help you out at that point.

Hahaha

@@nathanhaaland2002 7

What episode?

It's true though. Everyone in this video should be ashamed of themselves. I've done a bit of bear hunting myself. Bear baiting is unsportsmanlike, it teaches bears that human stuff means food means survival. And, it's not even hunting to just walk to a giant barrel of food that you left out and sit around for a bit. Trophy hunting is unsportsmanlike, in nature the weak, old, and sickly are killed, to do anything but that promotes weak and sickly populations. Killing big boar bears is in no way good ecologically, what is he even talking about with bear populations at all being related to moose and caribou populations? They kill off some calves in the spring, but bears and especially black bears just aren't realistically predators of large mammals. And, having predators for large mammals doesn't hurt populations of game, it holds them in moderation instead of boom-bust as they decimate vegetation and then run out of food and die off in mass on a cycle a couple of decades long. Learn your ecology. Be a moral sportsman. This guy is gross.

@@mckingery21 I have zero doubt that "this guy" knows tremendously more than you do about game animals, ecology and bears. I'll take his word over someone who has hunted bears "a bit", which I doubt is true.

Enfurarious 👍👍👍

Franz Eggert yes and no. It’s viewed by most to be less sporting and fair what with all the added shit on rifles to make it easier to harvest. Like flying fishing to gill netting

@@BlackKnight-ll8qh Yeah, but if you're a good shot its a one shot kill... Whereas a bow and arrow is less likely.

@@javierescuella10 it's almost always one shot with a bow too. That second shot wasn't necessary, that bear was dead on his feet, but typically if you have another shot opportunity at something you've hit, you take it, you don't know for a fact whether or not it was necessary, and in this case it wasn't, but it's just general best practice.

@@ethanbaker6264 Good to know, a gun just seems more humane I guess

@@javierescuella10 it's really not much different unless someone tries to shoot in the head and that's too high risk of a shot to take ethically. I've seen videos of elk shot with a bow that didn't realize it and kind of went about his business for 10 seconds or so before just falling over

Dont give us the "needs to feed his family" BS. You dont even know if this guys has a family. If he was looking to feed hungry mouths he wouldnt be trophy hunting bear.
