Weatherby Hunts: Spring Black Bears in Idaho

- In the first Weatherby Hunts series, two Weatherby employees, Mack and Micah, took to the Idaho backcountry in 2021 in search of black bears. The pair battled through burns, blow downs, and water shortages throughout but managed to punch a tag before the trip was over.

'He was getting away...' Classic. Great video and super cool hunt.
As a Aussie Hunter I so much want to do that if I get the chance, even if I don't see success, but just experience the terrain, the bears and the atmosphere. So fight like fury when required to keep what you have and are able to hunt and access. Good Luck and keep the awesome content coming.
Ordering my Weatherby this week.
Nice job guys. Enjoyable hunt and banter!
Nice work
Well done guys, this was fun to watch.
congrats, looked like a kick ass time!
Keep these videos coming! love watching how Weatherby cartridges perform and there’s not allot of places to see it. Should do some ballistic gel videos comparing cartridges as well.
Fantastic video Mack!
Old bear didn’t stand a chance with that 300 weatherby mag lol
Fantastic hunt and filming
Great show 🎥🎥🎥🎥👍👍💯💯
Hey Micah! Matt Snell here😃 going on my first bear hunt this fall in Colorado!
Congratulations
👏🏼 amazing!
Need to get back to Idaho and chase some bear! Congrats!
22:02 "That, combined with the damage done by the .300 Weatherby, meant unfortunately we couldn't salvage the hide."
This is why I try not to overgun my target game animals. Of course,, I don't spot and stalk either. All of my Idaho bears have been taken over bait with either a bow or a handgun. This year I'm using my custom Caspian 1911 10mm.
Yeah but spot and stalk hunting is the epitome of skill and hunting knowledge anyone can hunt over a bait pile in the middle of a private ranch that doesn’t take any skill or knowledge and thus isn’t very sportsmanlike at that point just go to the grocery store and “hunt” some steaks for yourself
@@Swollenfishy sounds like the response of an armchair bear hunter to me.
@@christrouten9606 you’d know what to look for wouldn’t you? Sitting back in your lazy boy recliner with a 6 pack of cheap beer waiting for the animals to come to you sounds like I struck a nerve lol
man that looked like a big bear climbing up hill! i guess he rubbed his left side? right side looked good. keep 1/2 the hide. you can make something out of it. im going on my first good hunt in 2 weeks. ive gone myself several times wo success. im going to idaho! congrats on a great bear man!
What magnification did Mack have with his optics? He was killing it!
Safety tip - wear your seatbelt. Not only does it keep you in the car, it makes sure that the airbag “ knows” where you are and can provide the protection that it is designed to provide. Especially true for the passenger side of the outfit.
Great hunt guys. What video camera are you using?
Do a gear list from this hunt
How far can a guy effectively shoot with that setup?
As always that depends more on the shooter and conditions than anything. Weatherby doesn't advocate taking animals any further than a hunter personally considers being ethical. That being said a factory 300 WBY Mag load will carry more than 1200 ft lbs of energy and maintain more than 1800 fps out to about 900 yards or more depending on the projectile.
That boy needs to get him some game eyes!!
I'm inspire.
Sometimes you just got to take the shot.
I'm now reconsidering my choice of hunting with the 210 gr. accubond loads for Bear in .300 Wthby mag. The rifle was sighted in with that load and custom turrets from a Leaupold vx3i.
But then again, hunting for meat , there is something to be said for not having to trail your quarry.
Momma actually had 3 cubs don’t know if you guys saw it later on but yeah
Ah never mind you said it
8-0 or 11-1???
Great video, but bro, wear a damn seatbelt
Isn't that 2 bears at the 16:00 mark?
Nope! Just a stump bear.
Im wondering how much something like this would cost us common folk :)
So y'all left the hide?
Unfortunately it was beyond salvaging. The 300 WBY Mag had essentially detached both front limbs and was devastating. They were able to haul out all the meat though and make some delicious roasts and bear sausage. They made sure proof of sex was attached to the quarter to ensure everything was legal.
