Here is basically an unedited clip of a young boar I shot in Quebec with a Bear Grizzly. I do have a slow motion replay of the shot at the very end of the clip where you can see the arrow spinning the whole way to the bear. Also notice my trail camera fires when the shot gets to the bear. Amazingly, I got a perfect trail camera pic of the arrow buried to the feathers before the bear runs.

Good video, and good shot.

I have that pic in my photobucket account, I just have to look and see what size it is before posting it here....... :)
-
I had to reduce the pic to conform with site policy, but it is still fairly clear. The shot was slightly quartering away, but the bear bunched up to run when the camera fired and his far shoulder pushed the arrow making it look like a quartering towards angle.....
I doubt that I will ever get this lucky with a picture again.... :)

Nice shot Mitch an awesome pic.. We're going up to Rons The second week of june,I can't wait now..We been there a few times in years past.but not recently,we're going to the Black River camp this time..What camp was you at,if ya don't mind me askin... Bill
-
Thanks for the kind words Bill. :)
I had a blast up there. In fact, I liked it up there so much in 2009, that I went back in 2010 and ran the baits for Ron at the Black River camp, and helped the hunters find their bear, haul them out, and cape them. I stayed up there for 5 weeks.
I put 120 miles a day on my 4-wheeler for the first two weeks getting all the bait sites active. The place has not changed much, except for the wolves……a lot more wolves than years past.
-
enjoyed the footage,well done...

Mitch,you're not by any chance going back this year,are ya ?? We got 9 going for sure,Ron said that the black river camp has 2 cabins,one that has room for 10 an another smaller one,usually reserved for a camp man... The few times we been there,we were at Gilles lake,which was close to town an tent camping,then Whites lake in the ZEC,which I believe he no longer owns but still hunts some of those baits...I can remember putting as many miles on my truck baiting as it took to drive up there..This time we're taking a couple ATVs...
-
I would really like to be back up there next spring Bill, but as it stands right now, I am not going to be able to get away that long. There are 3 camps at Black River. Two for hunters, and one for the camp man. One camp has 12 bunks, the other 8.
You absolutely want to take as many 4 wheelers as you can haul up there. The roads get kind of washboard, and they will rattle your teeth out, and your pickup truck apart, but they are just fine for a 4-wheeler or something like a Polaris Ranger.
The closest bait site to the Black River camp is over 1 mile from camp, and the farthest is about 22 miles from camp. Baits are in every direction from camp too. Whoever the camp man is will show you your groups bait sites and provide you with bait so that you guys can continue baiting the already hot bait sites during your hunt. Most groups have 2 or 3 guys run the baits every morning while the rest of the group goes fishing, or just hangs out at camp waiting for the afternoon hunt.
I have hunted basically all over the world, and this is possibly the most fun hunt I do. :)
-
Thoroughly enjoyed the hunt you have just taken me on.
Well done!
-
Thats just too cool. Great vid.
-
Man my heart was pounding for you......... way exciting!

Great video!! My buddies and I are heading to Ron's in June of 2012. First bear hunt for me. :bigsmyl: :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing all that info. I have no idea at this point what camp we will be in but I will contact Ron closer to June and get more info.
-
Your hunt is getting close Wiley Coyote!!! You should have a blast regardless of which camp you are hunting out of. And if you have never met Ron before, don`t let him fool you…….he is a REALLY good guy. :thumbsup:

Very nice and WoW on the still shot! The vid quality was great, what camera were you using?

Thanks Smeans…….. :)
I video`d that hunt with a Sony HVR-Z5U topped off with a RODE NTG-3 shotgun mic and Sennheiser wireless mics. I used a Manfrotto 523 Pro remote handle to run the camera. I cannot remember if I was using a SuperArm tree arm for that hunt or a Rock Steady arm?
Unfortunately, there will be no spring bear hunting for me this year, so I am hoping to see some stories and pictures on here pretty soon from other hunters. :clapper:
-
Thanks Mitch, we are getting excited! I spoke to Ron and he said we would be located close to where he is what ever that means. I will send you a PM.
-
great video, and nice shootin!!!
-

Sweet video. Awesome trailcam shot.
Congrats
-
that is really cool!!!!!! I could only imagine how awesome the mount is gona look with a picture of the bear with that arrow burried in it below it on the wall!!!!!! :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Or maybe a full body mount with the arrow actually in the mount just like you shot him :dunno: :dunno:

I might have some similar video of the bear I shot on May 28 in Northern Alberta had my "cameraman" been just a bit more reliable. When I asked him if he had got the shot on camera he replied that he did not video small bears. Translated into English that meant "I ran the battery dead on my I-phone texting with my girlfriend". He did make up for it by skinning my bear really quickly as the daylight was fading (which is why I have no pictures) and the mosquitoes were getting out of control (no thermacell).
Even more impressive might have been the footage of the first bear that came in and finally walked over to the decoy grease jug at about 10 yards. That one bit at the jug a couple of times before grabbing the jug firmly and quickly running off with it.
My bear was a dry sow that would have weighed about 150 pounds. I have always felt that bears that size would be two or maybe three years old. The local game warden told me about a healthy bear she shot that would not have weighed more than a hundred pounds and when she sent a tooth in for aging the bear turned out to be a five year old.
I too was working for an outfitter, but unlike you I had one night to hunt. The boss and I both were able to go out the same night and we agreed to shoot any legal bear that came along. He shot his spot and stock (he will not shoot his money bears) at a range of about 8 yards with a compound.
Overall we had a pretty successful hunt with 20 hunters shooting 26 bears. I was the only one who shot mine with a stick bow. One hunter arrowed a very nice cinnamon phase bear that measured well over 20 inches initially. The rest were shot with both compounds and guns.
I might have shot mine with my 64 Kodiak, but I ran short of money on the way there and ended up selling it. Do not feel sorry for me though as I used a gorgeous RER static recurve that I recently traded for.
