In this episode, Janis Putelis continues his quest to harvest a black bear in Montana with his friend and fellow MeatEater colleague, Cory Calkins. The duo ventures to a more heavily timbered mountain landscape with the goal of finding spring bears feeding and wandering on closed logging roads. An early and dry spring, hot temperatures, and very unforeseen wildfire smoke makes for a grueling week in the bear woods. Presented by ‪@SilencerCentral‬.

@janis - what is your setup for your sidearm? That looks like the perfect setup for hiking through nature with a pack. Do you like it? Ive seen you carry a side arm a few different ways - which one is your favorite?

As much as it sucks they didn’t get a bear- it’s good to show that hunting doesn’t always work and many trips are just a great weekend out in the bush!

@internetcatfish 5 месяцев назад

Its nice to see a more widely-known hunting show using a suppressor on a hunt. All too many people seem to assume that there is no practical purpose for them outside of military use, which is incredibly far from the truth. I'd hunt with a suppressor myself if they weren't prohibitively expensive.

@BattleBornArcher 4 месяца назад

Great video like always! Love me some bear hunting. Does anyone know what holster Janis is using for his sidearm? Everything I’ve tried is impeded by my pack hip belts and seems like his stays clear of the hip belt.

@Smfe614 4 месяца назад

You just gotta tuck that thang in yo waistband and when somene tries you get that thang out and put two in his chest. Ya feel me?

@eddiekane1202 2 месяца назад

Have you tried a chest holster? You can easily wear a bino harness over it. Stays away from the hip belt and also stays close when you take the harness off. I used to use a molle holster attachment on my harness but wanted to keep my pistol close by when I take the harness off. Chest holster is the way to go in my opinion

@rabbithomesteading3797 5 месяцев назад

From what I got from it is yes, to help stabilize the bare soil (bear soil lol :D) from eroding away from rainfall and probably wind also. The root systems help hold it together. I didnt know they did that on logging roads but do know that is a thing in general.

Apparently Zone C is much less. I drew w/5 points. And the only reason I drew is because I applied and Zone C was my second choice, and now they make you apply every 2 years. I'm not complaining, I think it's good to make people apply so we're not unnecessarily hanging on to points, just didn't expect to draw anything.

@D_Boone 5 месяцев назад

What holster is that on Janis? It's like a half drop leg holster. Looks like it would be comfortable to carry with a pack.

@rship2805 5 месяцев назад

Look up Safariland Low-ride UBL (universal belt loop). Or Mid-ride UBL. May need to attach your holster with a Safariland Quick connect system, depending on your holster.

@rship2805 5 месяцев назад

Also, I'd go with low-drop. I have the mid drop and it puts the pistol a hair too close to waist strap.

@kenshiassasin 5 месяцев назад

It's a standard g10 holster without active retention, but rship is right and it's sitting on a midride/lowride safariland UBL. I'd personally get a lowride safariland UBL w/ one of the active retention safariland ALS holsters.
