Bear video

[Thunder Head]

I could have shot this bear several times. Its pretty small. Not even sure it is a legal bear.

Im still miffed at my tech skills. I thought I shot video of it walking up the trail. It got with in 4-5 steps before it spooked. Evidently the phone was not recording. The video is from when it came back to see what i was. You can see the trail it was walking on right in front of the dead limb.

Haha! Cool video! You had to be doing some serious shaking for the IS not to work, lol!

 

[Thunder Head]

Yeah mark after he spooked from just a few feet away. The adrenaline hit just like i had shot him LOL!

Great video of the experience.
That was definitely a legal bear.

 

[goshenmountainman]

Yep, definitely legal, looks in the 125lb. range.

 

[jbogg]

Legal for sure. Looks 125 - 130 easy.

I took a bear last week on the rifle hunt but couldnt recover. I almost wish I would have had my camera instead of the gun atleast I could have hung the picture on the wall. Was a real bummer?. Good pictures love seeing em!

Yeah he's definitely in the 120-130 range looks like. Good video though.

Looked like a well worn trail. Always enjoy seeing bear pics and videos. Thanks for sharing.

Rabun,
The trail is worn to the dirt for several hundred yards were the ridge spine is narrowest. Oddly enough this is the first time i have seen an animal use it.

Might want to hang a cam or two over it to get a feel for traffic patterns. Sounds like a productive area. Hope you get on one!

Cool video, thanks for sharing. He looks legal to me.

From a (hopefully) future bear hunter, how difficult is it to judge a legal bear vs under weight? Please explain what to look at for a complete greenhorn.
