.I. .I. .I. .I.
Love yall's videos! Would like to see a gear dump of all the things you bring on these trips
Good idea. We will do one soon!
My days of pushing myself that hard are over. Enjoy these hunts while you can, the memories will be with you forever. Way to persevere gentlemen. I’m happy living vicariously thru your video of it. Great job!
You’re right, Sir. We cherish every year we are healthy enough to adventure at this level. God-speed!
Man what a hunt! Eric you definitely have my respect roughing out the first morning on the mountain. Those sleepless nights topped with dehydration are killer. Touching it out defiantly payed off. Well deserved for sure. Great videography P!
Just a little heat exhaustion and too much caffeine on the way in is all. Haha 😆
The phone scope footage of that bear with grass in it's mouth and her little cub was amazing. I know they taste great and managing populations is super important -- that being said, black bear cubs are the fcking cutest.
That was pretty incredible footage for sure! It's not too often you get that quality of phone skope footage of a bear that close!
Just turned on the video can’t wait to see how it all goes! And my wife got me glassing pad for Father’s Day thanks guys can’t wait to try it!🐻🦌🇺🇸
My kids and I love to watch your hunts. The ethics and morals exhibited is incredible. My son is begging for his first hunt to be a bear hunt.
Let me guess you’re from the USA
Thanks for the support, buddy! Get that little guy out soon. Be safe and keep us posted!
Let's go!! Always fun going along on the adventure with you guys
Hope you enjoy the show! ;)
Great video! Y'all are the real deal. Very tough hunt and good bears. I loved the final still shots at camp pack up. Strong Work, MuleyFreak as always.
It was an epic bear hunt. Thanks for watching, brother!
That is some crazy tough country. I know that area and it’s not easy. You guys are in great shape and it’s still looks stupid tough. Way to go fellas on another great video
The miserable hunts seems to be the most cherished memories! Thanks for watching, Rodger!
What an awesome hunt with some awesome bonus sheds.
Thanks for watching!
See some new Muley Freak gear being tested! Great video guys!! And congrats!
We’re still waiting for you to upgrade to the Game Changer, bud!
Dude, there is so much going on in this video. What a crazy fun hunt.
It was an incredible adventure is some amazing terrain! Thanks for watching, Elliot!
My man, so glad you all hold a standard to older bears, KZhead hunters think they are so awesome shooting baby bears for content... keep hammering the big boy's fellas!🤘
great video you guys are a great group of friends, teamwork like that can carry you far!
Thanks for watching!
The pain we all seek!!
Yessir! LFG!
You guys need to make that into a T!!!
What an adventure…nice work! Great video…felt all of it :)

Awesome hunt guys!! Love the camaraderie you guys have, deafly look like a hell of a hard hunt, but a fun one on the less
Thanks for watching, Jake! It was a grind!
This was an amazing video just subscribed!
Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
hell yes congrats boys great bears and awesome video
Thanks for watching, Kurt. Good luck on your hunt!
Heck ya guys!!! What to get it done!!
Thanks for watching Jared!
Awesome job guys I would definitely say do some more shooting though if you're missing at 250
I don’t know anyone that’s ever NOT missed a “give me” put on the golf course. Add nerves and the backcountry element it can happen to anyone!
Thanks for watching too BTW!
@@MuleyFreak ya probably should have thought that through a little better everybody is different and I just don't really get that excited over bears anymore but I do get the shakes over wolves or a bull screaming in your face
@@MuleyFreakon a serious note do you think recoil hurts you with accuracy on these shots? I ask because I have a 7 Mag that I want to use for a bear gun but I’m not sure if I should step down to 6.5CM so I have enough but not too much.
Love the bear wars videos!! I get so freakin' jealous of the areas you guys get to hunt though. Living on the prairies of Manitoba, we just don't get that kind of atmosphere and experiences hunting. Really wish I lived in the mountains, haha. That being said, at least I don' t have to worry about the friggin' rattle snakes here.
Hey! We are pretty blessed for the country we chase these critters in, but at least you get to chase some giants!
Great bears and adventures guys!🇺🇸🐻🐍
Thanks for watching, man! Have a great day!
Talk about a great film! these are my favorite bear-hunting videos! have you guys ever done videos on how to e-scout?
We may consider a course on this in the future! Thanks for watching and thanks for the thought.
Awesome video!!!
Thanks for tuning in!
Excellent adventure.
Thanks for watching, buddy!
Great video.
It’s a 59 minute video and it’s only been up for 28 minutes. How did you watch it so fast!? Lol. Jk. Hope you’re well, buddy!
pozz in CROATIA,EU,respect,great video,👍👍!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thanks for watching, buddy!
Nice Work!
🪃🪃
Good job guy’s putting meat on the table and thanks for letting us see the journey, now do you guys elk hunt that area and is there any wolves around 👍✌🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for following along on the adventure, buddy!
That bear dropped like a rock and was like damn he got stacked. As soon as it jumped up and start moving i was pretty dang surprised lol
That bear was just as surprised he was alive as we were he was!
Great bear hunting film.🤘🏻I see a few of you have the initial ascent packs. What size do y’all run? Looking into trying one.
It’s a good pack for sure. That’s IA6K pack.
Awesome
🥊
Great video! I was sweating just watching those hikes/packouts. What beautiful country though. Just out of curiosity, whats the deal with the rattle snakes? why cap em'? Just to eliminate the danger? keep the skins? I'm from the east coast and we just don't have a population of snakes like that so i'm just curious. Keep up the great work.
Hey thanks for watching! There's so many snakes in this country and you almost step on so many they get annoying. So yes to eliminate the danger of them, Idaho also allows you to kill as many as you'd like so when we see them we usually just take them out. They are also at the bottom trail where there could be more hikers and it helps them out as well.
What a epic bear hunt. Nothing like enduring the suck for those big Bruins. If you’re ever looking for someone to tan some hides hit me up
Sounds good, man! Thanks for watching!
Nice sunnies boys!
Thanks, bud. 😂
Hello~! My friend!!🇰🇷💘🇺🇸 Really fantastic beariful nice hunting video. Very very thnaks so much!!!💪💪😎
Thanks for watching!
What tripods do you guys use for your guns?
We use a bunch of different ones from Black Ovis.
I hope all these haters at home on their keyboards know how much their comments are valued 😆
🤣🤣🤣💪
Nice job getting 2 bears down in that country. I will say this though… looks like one of you needs to spend more time behind their rifle so they dont miss that first slam dunk shot at 250 yards.
Everyone misses under pressure from time to time.
What state is this in?
A scary one
Did you jet boat into this?
Don’t know anywhere in the panhandle you can jet boat into 🤷♂️
rattlesnakes in the panhandle???😂
@@bryanswanson4113 my question was a trick question. I know the creek they went up was just curious why they didn’t show any jet boat film lol but apparently they are the only people that hunt the “panhandle”
Awesome trip. 5 grand to go there and back. Yea. 1 out of three. Did not get the camera mans vote.
My guess is he was a “no” to go back as well! HA
57:30 music song name please~!!
Looks more like elk camp?
How do you mean?
“Sounded like lung” 😂
?
@@MuleyFreak it’s a ridiculous thing for somebody to say after shooting an animal at 650 yards, next to what sounds like a waterfall, while wearing ear plugs, presumably seconds after shooting a 7PRC with a muzzle brake. I thought that was pretty obvious. People say funny shit when they’ve got some adrenaline pumping after taking a shot.
Never seen Erik without a hat...
No you did! Lol
Can you give a guy a tip ? Not the exact area but the mountain range your on ?
How about some GPS coordinates, but not the exact GPS coordinates, but GPS coordinates that would pretty much get you in the area to some of our secret spots?
Background music is too loud when you're talking.
Thanks for the feedback!
Bro got mad because he didn’t clean up his shit
??
@@MuleyFreak he didn’t clean up after him self and was like next time clean up! I’m just messing around I’m an actual hunter I just haven’t posted any vids yet.
You should Donate that set @ 32:34 into this bad ass video to me. Why cause your a nice guy ... Sick find best videos.
Thanks for watching!
eric chesser would be proud
Who’s that?
never trust a guy wearing backwards cap in a tent...
Why not, bud
@MuleyFreak only two types of guys wear their hats backwards, welders and c suckers
@@sapperROSStakes one to know one.. fag
you had to ruin the video with "N" noise rap crap
Jesus said love all cultures and styles, buddy. God speed!
Big yikes my guy
