Summary

SHOW NOTES:

• Black bear hunt in northwest Montana's deep backcountry

• Special guest: Adam Weatherby

• Special gear: Prototype Weatherby rifle & cartridge

This hunt turned out to be aggressive, eventful, adventurous, and a fantastic success in every possible way. We covered 32 miles in four days, climbed over 8,000 vertical feet, stalked past a sow grizzly and her cub, and proved Weatherby's new yet-to-be-announced rifle and cartridge against particularly challenging conditions.

We hope to record several

consecutive short segments and piece them all together, but the

1:27.1

hunt became so rigorous, we were unable to do that. So we regrouped after the hunt, got on Skype and recorded the rest of our

We're about 44 miles south of the Canada border and while 5,000 feet doesn't sound very high

We started at 2,400 feet yesterday and hiked in 8.4 miles, about 5.7 of that was on a good trail and then we bushwhacked the rest.
