  • Last spring, Steve decided to pass up an opportunity to kill a black bear in favor of an extended up close and personal experience. This time, Steve heads back to his shack on Prince of Wales Island and he’s brought his friend Paul Neess from Vortex Optics along to share the experience of using a canoe to slip in close to these giant black bears.

    Why is it people get so mad if you want a nice large animal to take home but not bat a eye when people fish for the biggest fish they can catch. As I got older I have started to understand the importance of selective harvesting and understand the mindset of the animals. When population is poor the animal focuses on population. When population is high they focus on being the biggest around. Until we learn to help them we will only eat off all our food. Great hunt guys watching your video are always inspiring to get back out and enjoy the outdoors.
