Just a Dream - A Backcountry Spring Black Bear Hunt Film

Спорт

A duo that was solidified in the mountains. Spring bear hunting was just an am coffee chat for coworkers Brady Miller and Omar Lopez. Omar would ask Brady, the seasoned spring bear hunter, questions about tips and tactics consistently; it wasn’t until Brady noticed the passion that Omar had to get after it that he decided to invite Omar to join him on a hunt.
Moments like these are how raw friendships are built, both enjoying a similar passion they so profoundly love while both at completely different stages of their hunting journeys.

    Great job Brady and Omar! Loved the film. Omar, way to overcome the misses and bounce back to kill a beautiful bear! That takes a ton of mental strength and you did it! Folks will learn a lot from this one.👍🏻

It's very common for the thermals to be rising up those canyons and cause shots to be high miss. Brady you judged that wind perfect on your bear! Fantastic marksmanship pal! Great film.

    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.

    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!

    Beauty of a cinnamon color phase bear. Curious if there was any meat loss from waiting to recover the bear the next day? No hate here at all, just curios. I’ve always thought bears hold in more heat than other game which could make it risky for spoilage? Also, was curious what stove/pipe setup you were running with peax tipi? Thanks and nice job on well earned notched tags 👍🏻

    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.

    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.
