Just a Dream - A Backcountry Spring Black Bear Hunt Film 

Haha. Agreed. Omar is a gem! He will be in an elk film that should be released this summer, and then Brady and Omar recorded another bear film this spring.

Thank you!! We are already counting down the days to release the 2024 bear film. Those Initial Ascent 8K bags sure made easy work out of the heavy loads on the 2024 hunt that hasn't been released yet.

Thanks! Those are the hunts you definitely remember most.

Actually this hunt was kinda epic. 👍

Glad we finally got this one out there. Appreciate you watching, and hope it was worth the wait. Thank you as well for the support on the podcast and on our RU-vid page.

Wze are glad to finally get it out there! Appreciate you watching and sorry about the long wait getting this film out.

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and hope you had a great weekend.

Thanks for watching, yeah... Brady and Omar are definitely a little crazy haha

Thanks for checking out the film. It was a fun adventure for Brady and Omar.

Thanks for watching. One adventure they will both always remember!

Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks for watching! They both are a little crazy for a good adventure.

Haha! It works very, very well. Makes those times stuck in camp a little more enjoyable.

Thank you! Appreciate the support. Hope you have a great weekend!

Haha. Exactly right :) Thanks for watching.

Thank you! Was a fun one to put together and try their hands at self filming the hunt.

Appreciate you all! Thanks for watching.

Thank you! We still wish we captured more of the hunt, but for Brady and Omar self filming it, we think it turned out great as well.

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the film.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I'm sure we say it a lot, but we greatly appreciate everyone's support. Love to hear that you enjoy the films.

Thank you for watching. It was a fun one to put together.

Thank you!! Can't wait for the next round of films dropping shortly.

We hope it was worth the wait!

Really glad you enjoyed the film!! The wind direction device Brady is using is a Kestrel 5700 Elite. It also doubles as a ballistics calculator. You can see it here: shop.gohunt.com/products/kestrel-5700-elite-meter-with-applied-ballistics-and-link There are some other options for far cheaper by Kestrel if you just want to use a wind device. A simple version is the Kestrel 2700: shop.gohunt.com/collections/kestrel/products/kestrel-2700-ballistics-weather-meter And the satellite messenger Brady wears on his chest is an Inreach Mini 2. It's an amazing backcountry piece of mind device on hunts when you don't have cell service and it syncs with your phone to make sending messages a breeze (and you could message from the device as well). You can see that product here: shop.gohunt.com/products/garmin-inreach-mini-2 We are so glad you're enjoying all the content and this film! Thanks for watching and feel free to reach out to us anytime about gear for your hunt.

It was so sketchy in person! Way more gnarly than it looks, I stopped filming it since I thought Omar was going to fall off lol. And once I got on the log, I thought there was no way I was going to do that safely with a pack on with weight and those pack straps having the ability to get caught. By the way, this is Brady responding back to you. Thank you for watching!

Appreciate you!

Thanks for watching! It probably isn't our best film in terms of quality as the guys just decided to self film it, and thus were not using something with some better audio. But we do have a little better self film setup now, and their 2024 bear hunt film that we haven't released yet should be better audio as they recorded on the new system.

Ha. You are probably right. If it had fallen into the river, it probably would have been way easier to recover that bear than what we had to put ourselves through to get across. This is Brady responding to you by the way. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching!

That was like half the movie. Crossing and recovering the bears. 31:48

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!! Such a great adventrue!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the film. Brady uses an Anker 21W 2-Port Foldable Solar Panel and two Anker Nano 30W Power Bank 10,000mAh. That setup works very well for him on hunts.

Thanks for watching. Appreciate it! And by the way, this is Brady responding back to you. In all honesty, in all the hunts I've been on with that MDT Ckye-Pod single pull, I can't ever recall a situation where I wished I had the double pull. Maybe on my moose hunt so I wouldn't have had to shoot off a backpack. But truly I think for everything hunt wise, the single pull works really for me. Now, if my rifle was a little lighter, then maybe I would toss on the added weight of the double pull. I also have the full acra rail on the bottom, and I'm comfortable shooting off a tripod if needed. You won't go wrong with either option when it comes to a bipod for hunting.

Haha. They are gamechangers!! Simply awesome. By the way, this is Brady responding back to you.

"Who's gonna carry the bears" is right! Thanks for watching buddy! Hope you had a great weekend.

Brady was using a Vortex Razor Gen 3 6-36x56 FFP MOA riflescope and Omar was using the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 FFP MOA riflescope. Both of those rifles are Brady's and he is a big fan of those scope and has taken them on some crazy hunts and they hold up every single time. So no hesitation right now on at all on using those scopes for any rifle system. The nice part about today, there's so many great riflescope choices out there, and companies are making great scopes. If you have any questions, give our shop a call at (702) 847-8747 and ask to talk to Cody Nelson our optics guy. He'd be happy to help.

Honestly a great question. This is Brady responding back to you. I was a little worried about the same thought while I was on the hunt, but there was actually no meat spoilage on either bear and we were able to recover all the meat and nothing was spoiled. And over the past year I've already eaten up this entire bear. I love bear meat!! The extra part that made it a little easier for me to make that call to leave them overnight was the relatively mild daily temperatures, and the nightly temperatures, and the fact that both bears were near a creek. Omar's bear had a side creek it was near, and my bear was near a river. With the Peax shelter, I was using a medium Seek Outside U-turn stove with a 7.5 foot long stove pipe. Thanks for watching and appreciate the support on the video.

@@GOHUNTright on, thanks for the response! Appreciate it 👍🏻👊🏻
