If you made a 3rd video telling this story again, I'd still watch it
lol, I know
So would I.
Me too!😳😱
I swear I’d listen to u talk about flys eatin horse sh*t Steve, just the way u tell a story is awesome and entertaining. Your humor and realism adds a flair that keeps my attention. Can’t wait for more sir! ✌🏼
Love your hair raising hunting stories I can't wait to get up in the morning watching your show you share with all of us and love your bigfoot stories and proof that bigfoot is a human species in our wild lands keep them all coming Steve you rock God bless you and your family amen
Sounds like trusting someone else to hand load your weapon is like trusting someone else to pack load your parachute. Don't do it.
Goes as far to say he needs a TV show,he makes ya wanna listen, experienced. Man !! All his videos are great
I can confirm that you can shake a round and tell if it has gun powder in it. I can also confirm that is the only way to know if gun powder is actually in the round. You can't tell the difference between a round with and without gun powder just by holding them. You are talking just a few grams difference in weight. What an awesome story! Your guardian angel had your back those few weeks for sure! Keep up the great videos, hunting and Sasquatch, love them both!
I watched your videos ( and I love your stories ) ok, I watched this story, I watched your video of almost dying in a foreign country of an insect bite, I listened to your video of thoughts on death ok -- I will say it again- when your out in the woods and u listen to the quietness of the day with the warm breeze blowing LOOK UP with the heat of the sun on your face and see the beauty of the sky and whisper Thank You - there’s someone watching over you my friend. Maybe it’s your mama prayers , grandmothers prayers, but God will honor them and thts why you are standing telling these stories. Thank you again sharing your stories and the people you meet.
Am I the only girl that gets excited about hunting video's? I am sure I am not. But I DO!!! 😊🙏❤🇺🇸😊
I lost it when I heard this story the first time and now my wife lost it. My wife said someone must of been praying for u that's unbelievable.
I had the same thing happen to me back in about 1988. I shot a hand load and the round made a silent "pop". No recoil.
Ejected the shell and ammo, couldn't see any daylight through the end of the barrel. Went home. Took it to a gun smith where he hammered a boat-tail bullet back out of the barrel.
No powder in the shell. The primer exploded and only wedged the bullet into the barrel.
I quit using hand loads for hunting or self defense after that. Only use them for target practice. Now I buy the best high quality ammo I can find for hunting and self defense.
Those machines in a good factory are one Hell of a lot more accurate than most of us.
Best storyteller on youtube.
I don't trust handloads except for one guy i know.
A guy once loaded some shotgun shells for my dad when he was the guys teacher back in the late 1970's. He and another teacher went out and shot at some geese or ducks or something and nothing happened. They lower the guns and the shot came rolling out of the barrel.
Another guy, the son of my hunting partner made a bunch of rounds of 30-06. He was shooting at a deer, hit it either seven or eleven times and the bullets never expanded....the deer crawled out onto the road and he had to pull his handgun out and blow it's brains out in front of a car. He was using too much gunpowder and non-expanding bullets.
Same guy a decade later has built up many ar-15 rifles and has one that someone screwed up. They forgot to put powder into it or just a little bit. The bullet is now stuck in the barrel and they have bent a few rods trying to get it out.
His dad, my hunting partner is goingnto have to make him a steel rod with a screwed in brass end and we will try to pound it back out from the front. The steel will not bent at least.
The one guy I trust buys dies before he buys guns and his stuff is usually before WW1.
Love the new out loop and the Old-timer Griz walking up the dirt hillside ;-)
Yo 'How To', Don't sell yourself short, that's one AWESOME story!!!!!!! Man, wow. Thanks for posting and your stand on Sasquatch as well, really appreciate everything your doing, ~Mark~
Steve ,your memory is great because you eat more natural food than store GMO foods.when we ate our own beef ,pork chickens ,deer ,plus our garden always felt great ,god bless
Ok so, here's a story I read in a popular magazine quite awhile back 70s, not sure if it was Field & Stream or another. There was a Canadian Indian guide/trapper that hunted with a British .303 (common in Canada I am told) and he located and shot a huge Grizzly, but only wounded it! He took off tracking it with his horse but there wasn't much of a blood trail (bears typically don't bleed a lot) and after some time he gave up as he was losing light and headed back. As he was riding out to the main trail he was ambushed! The bear lunged from some tight brush, broke his horses neck and spilled him on the ground and finished him. He never had a chance to get his rifle out of the scabbard! A search party later discovered his and his horse's remains being guarded by the bear and killed it. The bear had his .303 round lodged in it's shoulder (none fatal wound) and after doing some tracking of their own realized that the bear let him pass by when he first went after it, and started following him! He was tracked! It may have been someone's exaggerated imagination, but I still remember that all these years later! Knowing that bears are very intelligent as animals go only lends more credibility to the story.
Loving this story for the second time!
Looking forward to the podcast. Could you do a podcast or video talking about the grizzly hunt ban in BC? Why was it banned in the first place and is anyone working to bring it back?
Cheers
damn! great scary story. you’re a bad ass Steve. stay true and keep these great stories coming!👍🏻
Someone has been looking out for you Steve. loved the story! stay safe my friend.
Steve you have a Gardin Angel protecting You 100 percent, keep being awsome brother ,love your work too.
Man God was watching over you. Your still here cause God still has things for you to do. You have a purpose. I am thankful cause I love your videos. Lol
my God you have so many great stories. Thank you for sharing
That stalker bear is like the bear on the Edge!! Love grizzly bears but from the safety of my couch!! LOL Love your stories!!
Ive had federal 308. Misfire in my AR 10. Your right though. I can only recall around 3 misfires from factory in the tens of thounds ive put down range. I only trust one person for reloads, he doesn't drink and he is a gunsmith. There are alot of factors that go into reloading. If you aren't precise and guaranteed not impaired. It is still easy to miss something's. Better to do it yourself or have a very trusted friend.
That stalking bear was waiting for hunters leftovers .. . ? But you'll do ..? Was just impatient imo. If they are smart, seems the motivation. If territorial, they were already on the edge of it, no? Interesting and deadly behaviors scavengers develop. Thank you, this retelling was needed. MOR. Lol!
Great story, again!
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Always Always Always look inside the cases with a light to see if everything looks right before seating the bullet. The u.s army shooting team has 2 people sign off before they seat bullets for their shooting team match ammo.
You got about as Lucky's a man can get ×3. Like real luck. like banging a leprechaun on a quadruple rainbow while riding a unicorn lucky. I know that's a messed up analogy but you get my point..
Kind of like chili...just as good the second time around.
I have done my own reloads for years. And cannot imagine e the cartridge being empty. My reloads...I measure the powder by weighing it according to the field tests done and noted, seat the bullet and cap into the cartridge and recheck everything...so curious as to hos that cartridge could possibly be empty. Omygod...so crazy. I have never never seen that happen...also have the proper dies for the right rifle...just so surprised on this video...
Back in the Dangerous Games Days. 1800 Black powder to the 1940's. Think Africa and all the wild stuff over there that can kill, most all the Prof Guides used Factory ammo. In my view, it is bad luck to hand ammo out to anyone. For me, I have handloaded for 44 yrs. I have popped primers from 40 yrs ago and they all worked for me, But I will never Give or sell any of my work. DG reloading - is a whole level of squeezed butt cheeks I will not tempt. MY DG was bear, a 12 bore, SXS with twin locks. one trigger per barrel. One will always go. I also disbanded the safety. When you levered the gun open, it reset the safety. Consider the brown shorts, when you pulled both barrels and nothing happened. Blame it on Lawyers down south. Cheers!
God had your back...too many coincidences and i dont believe in coincidences
My stories of hunting the great state of Michigan for thirty odd years pale in comparison to yours my friend, but i would sure love to pop a few tops with you cause i regard you as an honest and integral man
Ur a grrreat true storey teller!!!
Well that will pucker ya right up !
yea, it would be best for you to use factory loads, as I too would never use someone else handloads. I have been loading my own for some 50 years, never had a problem.
Hey that phone you have has a built in recorder, when u think of these stories, too prevent u from forgetting, hit record and just say a keyword, makes it way easier to recall these stories. Just an idea, your great man, the way you tell your stories is comparable to Joe Buck's commentary. 👍keep up what you do, just trying to be a good subscriber lol...
I appreciate the stereo audio.
Go buy a lottery ticket Steve, Awesome stories Mate, Luv em 🤞
Did you see elk graveyard in idaho?said 15 or so elk were caught in rock slide!?! Seems little odd to me ? Want to say Lewis Idaho.
Wtf dude that crazy shit! Happy u made it ‘
I watch a episode of meat eater where a grizzly charged him and his friend. Shit was scary
Hornady. Makes a good bullet.
I've told this story at least 30 or 40 times and tell these people you have to watch how to hunt this man Steve has been a big game guide mainly his whole life i tell them the story of the West Virginia Hunter do you want me to go in there and smoke him. I also heard you say mosquito pretty good story 2 but I guess the number one story is the one you just told that makes the hair stand up on you or make you knees weak.
Thankfully God was with you that day Steve. Due too your love of Mankind, Women and children. Jesus Christ is walking besides you and blessings you as well. God still needs your help, in searching for the truth exposing treachery. ✝️ May God Bless you Steve, Sarah, “The Club of No Return” and the entire HTH Nation. Alex
Great story only thing missing from the first time you told it. Was we're going mom aren't going to eat him? Nice hearing it second time thanks.
Do Bears ever go after the Horses?
Not the load....the LOADER is the quality CONTROL......ALWAYS !!!
Man that's crazy I had a dud bullet when i came to shoot my elk a couple weeks ago. Had this giant in the scope pull the trigger then "CLICK" LOL Cranked another one in and heart shot.
Goosebumps from the story and definitely divine intervention...I’m speechless and happy you survived to tell the tale.
Steve, that bear following you up the trail, then sitting on you, then following you guys back down and to the cabin is not just odd, but a little creepy even. The stuff horror movies are made of. Lol. Glad you're alive bro.
Wolf your real name? Jealous if so lol.
@@Rizzbulla Never been asked that before. Be happy to explain it. I am Creek (Muskoke) indian and my tribal name is Tien Eepke YvHv CvOha, which loosely translates "the wolf that thunders in the wilderness". For a long time my friends called me thunderwolf and eventually just shortened it to Wolf over a period of decades. I do have a christian name which I use for business and most other interactions.. Thanks for asking bro.
One of most memorable stories of yours that left such an impression on me that I told my wife & kids one evening during dinner, amazing to say the least. Thanks for sharing again!
I could enjoy the stories much more if you'd delete the profanity, but I agree that running around at night with lights & calls is not the right approach to seeing Squatch.
@@beverlybrooks758 profanity? I can’t say I’ve heard this bloke swear. And if he does, good on him.
Also, Bigfoot and whatnot is fictional.
@@userwatttt do you even watch-not this channel?
Come to the Appalachian Mountains and we'll just see what you have to say then about a Sasquatch. Better wear a Depends from your attitude.
The whole family had nightmares throughout the night, and yet they lived happily ever after.
Whoa! SOB! What a story!
I just came back from an Elk hunt in Canada & felt guilty for using factory ammo & not my hand loads.
Well, that guilt is gone now.
I think of myself as a careful hand loader, but don’t we all.
I may well never use a handloaded round again on a big game hunt!
That was one hell of a good job story telling. Damn!
Robert Nation - I hand load. I have had a squid load (no powder) but only when running pistol calibers on fast progressive press (Dillon 650) and not using a powder check die. All hunting and precision rifle loads are loaded on a loading block and powder trickled to weight and then bullet seated and crimped (if necessary). Also, I don’t load for other people (as a general rule). I’ve been reloading for 30 yrs. squibs happen in your using progressive equipment.
motorgearhead yip, I use a Dillion 550 & never have had squib I did however with a Federal factory 9 mm in my BHP!
I trickle my rifle rounds as well I always say ‘ I load handgun for economy & rifle for performance.’
I will not hand load for other people!
After hearing this tale it really drives home the Murphy’s law thing! This story really gives me pause.
Good to hear from a fellow hunter.
This channel really rocks!
Great video. Yes the handoader friend skipped the part where you take a flashlight and look into EVERY charged case in the block to confirm powder before seating bullets. Then checked ALL loaded cases in a SAMMI case gauge for that caliber. I’ve F’d up lots of ammo getting in a hurry or getting distracted but it’s always been plinking ammo. Hunting ammo gets extra special attention. 👍🏻
Exactly. On all you said.@motorgearhead
There's a lot more that can wrong with handloads than just that dumb mistake of not having powder in the case. For one thing you are using recycled brass for the most part. There is the point of rounds not having been resized properly and they won't chamber or cause sticky extraction. There is also possible contamination with oils/sizing lubricants to the primer or powder. I go to GREAT lengths to assure quality handloads including washing the cases to remove all traces of oils after sizing, call me paranoid but I have had one round go poof and lodge in the barrel with unburnt powder making a huge mess once I got the bullet out which was another story, once was enough for me. The other thing I do is Full Length Resize all my hunting ammo. Its printed right there on the die box or in your reloading manual. The problem is that once handloaders become more "experienced" they load for accuracy or extended case life and they do not realize they are getting into the target ammo domain by doing so, its no longer hunting ammo. The more you tweak your reloads by stretching the SAAMI spec, the less reliable you are making your ammo, to the point of idiocy of having no tolerance whatsoever. I do not even use progressive presses as its too difficult to assure quality with them. I have 6 single stage presses that I set up for production, I may not use them all all the time, depends what I'm doing. Look... if you are shooting woodchucks at 500m do what you like with your ammo as you are just target shooting basically. But for anything else use some common sense.
I don't even hunt anymore but I so enjoy the stories. You are around for a reason my friend. Time will probably tell us why. I hope you stay safe in all your adventures. Keep em coming.
I wanna hear about the well known hunter that called you out. Also I remember this story, I never comment but glad you were safe. I watch this channel and Born and Raised outdoors. Respect your no bullshit approach. I followed you on Twitter. 👊🏼🙏🏼🥋
Love the BRO, November 1st can't come fast enough.
@@brycewatt2893 👊🏼
Think its Jim?
Or the Rock Star???
@@1HeavyHitr or Tim Wells?
I heard that story the first time you told it. And ever since then I've been listening to everything you do. That's almost just too amazing to be true.
That sow sensed your confidence as you were aiming your rifle at her head. She knew you meant business and were not scared. Sometimes that’s all it takes in life.
"I had a 300 ultra mag Remington 700, which is basically a small missile launcher"
Me: **laughs in American**
Edit: I just watched this round shatter a steel plate of body armor, I redact the sarcasm
I've been black bear hunting once. I was so glad to get back to Texas where the land was level and whitetail deer run away and not try to eat me
Love your AWESOME stories- stay safe Steve- nerves of steel my man!
You made me so paranoid that I went a weighed all my bullets! lol
Rusty Shackleford don’t forget to give em a shake 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Good real story pal enjoyed it. Similar story in New Mexico hunt with my son in laws. Elk hunt good stalk on three bulls running cows in late October. Weather shit falling snow two days temp at 20 and below. Told boys to take rifles out of scabbards and sling em. Pussy’s don’t carry guns in bags strap and hump it with your gear. About 9k feet we circle ridge found the heard in valley. Son in law #1 lock and load take the one on left, son in law #2 same take one on right. We’re going for a twofer. Range 120 yards, rifles (270 Weatherby mag & 300 H&H) both sighted in the day before zero 200 yards. On three !!! Ready !!! Both guns go CLICK yea clock is running now. I said reload let me quickly see the rounds before you chamber again. Has some experiences with “squib”loads in past. Both FACTORY rounds no hits on primer. Shit..... alright load we fire on “now” out of time. Ready NOW.......CLICK.....heard gone adios MF. Back down to base camp told story with local old timer. Said you Texas boys may can shoot at home
and asked if we had greased our weapons before the hunt today....uhhhh yes.......fell off the log laughing you SOB never re-grease your guns up here after you sighted in with this weather. Yeah why???? Because the firing mechanism froze in the assembly with all your lotion you put on it. Let it warm up and try again. They both fired. Picked up two nice antelope the next day same area no big bulls around. Finished off the trip with steaks and Jack Daniels. Will always remember that trip....Shit....
Always weight your bullets. ALWAYS. Even for small game. Set the scope with bullets with Identical Weight , too. You cannot be too paranoiac about that.
You have some of the coolest stories i have ever heard i love your videos i just found you like 1 week ago
Welcome to the family. This place is dope as a motherfatherfishknucklehammer
Get with the program bro... Where you been
I've had handloads that didn't chamber because they weren't resized properly. Didn't know it until after hunt. Was walking over griz tracks all day in the Bob Marshall wilderness. Now I check every aspect of each round.
My bet is that Grizzly learned at some point early on, an association with people and food. The camp was too populated, and at noon, decided to follow you two up the trail because you guys were going to be easier to knock off. But once you guys started up, he was sniffing for food and didn't smell it coming off of you two. So he trailed you guys until he could get a whiff of food emanating off of you. It never happened as he followed you guys back to camp, to where the cabin you decided to change in was right near the cook shack. Bear was desperate at that point and could smell food and watched you walk in that cabin. He finally got the connection he was looking for.
Steve can you say meow ? I would say that one fall knocked of 3 lives, 6 left. Not unless the big dudes, you count them. Then there's the gnat that almost took you out 5 left. Plus that halibut experience, 4. The ones you haven't told us about , give Sarah a hug. Step carefully. Sandy
Steve what do you think about Timothy Treadwell?
Lol, good question
My God Steve I'm sitting here listening to this one it's 1:52 a.m. in the morning and I knew I knew it I knew this was what was going to be I didn't know it was going to be I knew the shell wasn't going to go off. The whole time you're telling all these stories this whole thing but I didn't know that your friend didn't you put any powder in the shell before crimp the lead bullet in on the brass shell casing there. my God man my God Steve you are lucky to be alive you man dude I never looked up to another Hunter like I'm looking up to you man I'm 58 years old man I'm a hunting little bastard down here where I'm at on the wabash River and out in this bean and corn Boxwoods Farm fields I'm on foot I don't ride a horse I'd love to do all the things you do man but I'm scared to death attacked her ate by bear or abducted by a damn alien up there in the mountains or have a wendigo come by and snatch me up or some Supernatural damn Bigfoot I don't know I didn't worry about none of this s*** never thought about any of this s*** to about 5 years ago when I started listening to David paulides 411 about the same time. I starting to look into UFOs and Supernatural things because I was standing in my front room Steve and something hit me out of nowhere like a whirlwind put me on the floor in less than a second flat my son was sitting at the kitchen table looking right at me when it happened and I looked up in the floor and said what was that and my son's eyes were as big as silver dollars and he said I didn't see anything dad are you okay and I said no sun I got fluid running out of every hole orifice in my body snot drool it was terrible man two broken ribs and neither one of us seen anything standing there bro in my front room if that can happen to me in my front room Anything Can Happen out there me and my son were out planting marijuana that summer and we had a big supermoon that year and we had a really strange thunderstorm here and my son which never hunted with me ever not to this day ever like I said we were out planting marijuana man 3 in the morning in a thunderstorm and I was going buy one of my places I hunt my son's never been there before he knows nothing about this place the farmer that gives me permission to hunt their his father was hit by a train and his head was cut off there and they never found his head my son knew nothing about this and told me to stop went crazy on me going down the road and told me he just seen a 7ft tall man standing in the ditch by the road sign with no head and demanded that I stopped immediately and turn around and go back and look and he described the man to me it was the farmers dad that lost his head that was hit by the train and I passed the place up when I got there and I went 20 more miles out of my way while my son was going crazy the whole damn time trying to get me to go back and things started happening after that bro I know it sounds crazy man but I don't hunt anymore I don't go out and grow weed anymore either I changed everything in my life maybe I'm a big pussy now I don't know sorry man you're just so damn awesome too me and I'm not a gay motherfuker nothing I don't look up to anybody else but I think you're f****** awesome Hunter one man to another there ain't no gay s*** here bro I just look up to you as a man I'm 59 I just turned 59 you look like you're probably about 10 years younger than me man and I don't see a lot of people doing like we do. If it's the last thing I do my brother Steve I'm going to meet you and David cuz I know I seen you in concert with him or convocation or whatever you call it Pace bro laughing my God 🙄🇱🇷
Your such a great story teller you should write a book
I know you will probably never see this but I have an immense amount of respect for you sir and would love to go on a hunt with you , anyways people have a tendency to act tough when they are not or say they would react a certain way in a situation but the truth is that no one knows how they are going to react until it happens , I really enjoy your videos , GODBLESS YOU , take care my friend
Are you sure your buddy didn't want you dead? People do strange things when they think they can get away with it.
Dude... You are one lucky fella for sure...! And Yes, you can hear the powder if you shake a cartridge... And No, I never do that either... I just load em straight from the box... As does most people...! Love the Grizzly stories, but Squatch stories are my fave... Keep em comin...!
your not going to notice that difference in weight i have hand loaded four about 45 years or more i load one at a time never not put powder in one i have had cci primers that would not fire I no longer use cci primers 215 federal primer are all i use now. great hunting story
Dude I love your music at the ends of your vids I know I said this before but be safe out there good hunting.
My prediction on this video is, Grizzly was about to attack him and Sasquatch showed up and run the grizzly off and saved his life
Eugene Conner 😂 I see what you did there! 😂😂
That's what I thought lol
Seems that you have the spirit of the GREAT HUNTER watching over you! KEEP the stories coming man.
Thanks, now I am going to start shaking my rounds before I load up.
Oh, my, my ,my. Just found this 2nd telling. I've never seen a live bear (or dead one for that matter) but my one nightmare as a child was of a bear chasing me. Glad the sow turned around and the cubs followed their mama.
Excellent production quality.
Great work Steve!
70K subs just around the corner congrats! Love the No BS attitude
Towgunner82nd Morgan that’s why 70k+ subs think the same as you 👍
Oh I remember that story that was crazy one of the scariest stories I've ever heard talk about dodging a bullet LOL
I've had Winchester 308 ammo fail on me. Luckily I was at the range and not face to face with 800lbs of raging beast.
Was it a factory round?
Hand loading really is better, you can "fine tune" the ammo to your rifle, and it will be more accurate, but it has to be done right for sure! Where the "fine tuned ammo" really shows up and is noticeable, though is at long range. Hunting shots at 100-200 yards really won't make much of a difference over factory ammo. 300 plus shots, more consistent feet per second ammo, can make the difference between a hit or a miss.... or worse, a wounded animal. At long range, inconsistent ammo can change bullet impact by 6 inches or more. Personally, I like to shoot under 200 yards at an animal, under 100 yards is even better. Sometimes that isn't possible. Loading bullets for accuracy instead of just saving money, is an art. There are a lot of powders, and loads to try until you find the one your gun likes best. Every gun is different.
Haha as a reloader. I totally shake and feel the powder
Fast4SloW 717 - That’s what she said.
I wish I could tag along on one of Steve's guided hunts, or even just one of his own. I'm not a hunter but I'm a huge outdoors person, I hike regularly, I have several trail cameras and I ride horses. I would absolutely love to go out there for a week and experience it. I wonder if that's even a possibility?!
$25,000-$50,000.
Save up your money. 😁
Boxing 101
I thought I heard Steve mention $50,000
A couple weeks ago. I remember I was floored.
However I’m 63. So you never know about the hearing. 😬
Even if you aren't hunting? And paying for your own food and equipment? That seems extreme. I understand they need to get paid, feed their horses and hunting season isn't very long, so I certainly understand they need to make the trip plus make a living.
Or you just move to Alaska and become a citizen after two years and save thousands.
Honestly, if that's what it costs just to tag along, or if he thought having the extra person would be too distracting on a hunt, I would pay that to have him just take me out there and experience remote BC. I would rather pay him than someone else! My life would literally be in his hands.
Being a handloader most of my life, it does indeed happen. I loaded a shell without powder once, but thankfully, caught it at the bench. That being said, I too, now perform the shake test, to double check my own self! Lol!!
Glad you made it through okay!!
Some of the Grizzly and Lions we have here in Montana have figured out that if you follow a hunter, they will leave a nice yummy gutpile for you to eat in the worst case, in the best case the Grizz may end up with the whole kill if the hunter doesn't get a clean shot, the animal bolts and they lose track of it. Either way, the cat or bear ends up with a meal and very little effort. Maybe he was waiting for you guys to shoot dinner for him and got pissed because you didn't, lol.
Please, never make videos inside. I love the always different nature back drop off every video you post. You're the only UA-camr I look forward to your videos, your stories are the best
Damn Steve, pretty scary
Awsome story loved it keep em coming
Steve you are by far the best guide I've had the pleasure to observe in your stories and videos thank you .On my bucket list a mule deer elk hunt .if you read this please reach out I have to do easier terain I'm handicapped but still have a lawncare business in Florida flat ground
I love your stories I feel like your sitting at camp with me
Damn. That's all I can say.
What an incredible storyteller! I live in a big city. I’m not even interested in hunting, but this guy makes it all so amazing!
Steve, what time zone does this premier start? I love the grizzly stories!
Thank you Steve for sharing this with us again. Great story.
have you ever considered buying a mic that you can clip-on for your primary audio... :] ]
oh ...looks like your already using one!
“Not that exciting”???? OMFG!! 😱 I’m cleaning out my pants on the couch here!!🚨 That was an awesome, scary, exciting story!!💥💥👀😱☎️🚨
I’m also NEVER going hunting with someone else’s hand loads!! Uh uh!! Nope, negative 👎, nadda!
Great story!!
Just re-watched, what a cool throw back. You and Ms.Sarah are doing the life together, with your partner ,and a move and re-location. Thats a CALLING . Mr.Steve you keep listening, Your body and mind strength won't disappoint anyone here. That is, if they have been listening since the beginning. Peace and Love. No disrespect. 7/10/24... Stay as comfortable in this weather as you are able...
Just outta curiosity, do the hunters ever keep anything other than the trophy parts, such as a % of the meat, hide, or claws?
Hunters usually use/keep every part of the animal that can be used/eaten...nothing goes to waste.
Hi! I was referring to those who pay outfitters for guided hunts. After some research, I found that the horns, hides and skulls are cleaned/processed by the lodge, and the hunters are charged for each animal processed. I was curious if the hunters got to keep any of the meat, or if it automatically goes to the outfitter's kitchen. In addition, what happens to the remaining carcass, such as the claws, teeth, bones, etc.? Do the customers have the option of taking what they want? Sorry if it sounds weird, but I hope that makes sense. Thanks for the response though!
Funny, but I only trust my hand loads. Plenty of factory loads fail. Bottom line is if my round doesn't go off I want it to be my fault.
And I can't stand being in Griz country myself. My least favorite hunts and outings are in Griz country. Had three run ins with them, one bluff charge, and have seen a bunch of them. It just sucks being around them cause chances are they are gonna win if things go bad. Too sneaky, fast and strong.
They are much more stealthy than people think. Master stalkers they are. Dogs are probably the best defense.
555Trout - You say “plenty of factory loads fail”. Is there a certain brand and caliber you’re referring to? I’m pretty sure you can look up fail rates on most specific brands, but those published fail rates are basically sayin’ statistically you ain’t ever gotta worry about a bad round. That’s why I’m curious what your experience has been. If you’re hand loading I’m pretty sure you’ve shot a lot more brands and total cartridges than I.
@@johnjacobjingleheimer-schm491 well, been shooting for 50 years and instructing for 30 years. Range master, personal defense, hunter Ed, etc. Killed hundreds of big game. 40 wild pigs just this year. So I've probably seen a million rounds shot. Quality factory defensive hunting rounds will rarely fail, but it happens. Bulk factory fails often, but not relevant for hunting or defense. My position is this, I can make a quality round as good as any factory. Two modes of handloading, bulk then quality. And I have a system for quality rounds and they are made to a virtually perfect standard And if a round is going to fail me at a critical moment I want it to be my fault. I'm not willing to let someone else determine my fate when I can be in total control.
@@johnjacobjingleheimer-schm491 as a side note I have never had a quality handload fail. However my bulk handloading fails often. Which I actually desire for training. One needs to be able to recover promptly after a fail in defensive shooting or hunting. And failing bulk rounds provide the opportunity to see how good you really are. In Steve's situation here I don't happen to agree with him that had he had a fail on the bear he was in trouble. I train so that I'd get the next round off in 0.4 seconds with a bolt action. Fundamentally I train and teach that the gun is rechamberrd instantly every time it is fired, without exception. And I mean instantly. And you would be shocked how fast a bolt action can be run by an expert. It's his training that is in question. He's "not a gun guy" per his own words and it shows. So many hunters shoot without rechambering instantly, which is such poor technique. To each his own, but dangerous game requires excellent recovery skills when things go wrong. I kill a lot of wild pigs, and though they are not Grizzlies they are not to be trifled with. And I'm frequently in situations I'd be a fool to be in without excellent recovery skills.
