Even though pack trips are a lot of fun, nothing beats exploring on foot. Right, you are that many people walk right past most wildlife. I spent almost two years with a Mandan Indian when I was a young teen learning tracking and hunting. What a wonderful amazing education that I will always cherish. He was so in tune with nature that he almost never walked past a wild animal. He just sensed that something was there. I am just getting back into looking for Grizzlies and coastal wolves here in BC.
That would be a great education. I always wonder how many animals I walk right by and not notice. I think there is no way to know. I have not figured out a way to try to calculate that. But I know I do walk by grizzlies and not see them. I have several instances in my videos where I walked right by bears, turned around to look, and there is a bear!
The colors are so beautiful in this video. My brother has photograhed many a grizzly as that is his job. He always has a gripping grizzly story. You have given me a glimpse into his life. Thank you.
Stan Mills yes I have been bingeing! Just discovered your videos a week or so ago and you have completely changed my perception of Yellowstone. Otherwise I was always seeing people queued up in their cars on the main road as the bison walked by. And then to have your view, where you hike off into the nether of the Park and (so far for me) you have only seen humans 3 times! That’s remarkable. I’m inclined to give it a try. Nice job, seriously 😃
Hi Stan, I really enjoy your videos, just strolling along, watching the wildlife and the beauty of nature. Seeing the horse riders, would the bears chase people on horseback? Safe travels!
Well, you definitely are a bad influence on me. Now I have to buy a superzoom camera and make room in my backpacking schedule for a trip or two into the Yellowstone ecosystem, Thanks a lot! Seriously though, thank you for opening up my eyes to a new way of hiking and giving me the confidence to try it. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Now for a question. Have you ever seen an interaction between a black bear and a grizzly? I thought the third black bear's immediate reaction to seeing the other two black bears might have been because he didn't immediately know if they were black bears or grizzlies.
Do you hike that from 191 or do you drive up the gravel road to a trail head. Think the road I’m thinking of is called TeePee creak road maybe? I can’t remember. I have never gone up that road on the edge of the paek
Thank you so much for your videos, sir. Your channel deserves much more subscribers....but I guess “people” prefer noisy trash and stupidity over the quiet beauty of nature
Those tourists on horseback are right where they oughta be. Few would know how to behave - people would shout, There's a Bear!! and some idiot would try to chase it.
Great video, Thanks for sharing. Side note: I can tell your not a westerner. Forest is called Timber, as in "the Elk were bedded in the Timber." Dude strings are called dude strings for a reason. They are vacationers from all over the world and the only way they will experience the wilderness is with a wrangler/guide and on a dude horse. Tourists are noisy and chatter incessantly on the trail and off. Probably because they're nervous about being out of their natural element and in the wild. My horse can hear them coming before I do and a long way off so you can bet the game do the same. Horseman, Packers and such rarely speak on the trail unless it's necessary, it's usually a quiet peaceful ride. Side note: Your doing exactly what Horn hunters do in the spring and what big game hunters do in the fall when they get nailed. Just saying. Don't take what your doing lightly.

I’ve hunted & killed a lot of bear over the 55 years I’ve live in Montana & Just so you know, bear have bad vision when looking at longer distances, so at the end of your video when you said they should see you at 300 yds., usually they won’t unless you’re moving A LOT. They have a nose that are 5-7 times better than a bloodhound when it comes to picking up scent but they have bad nearsightedness.
dzjc01 Good one! Ha ha. I know this might shock you, but MANY people have to hunt in order to eat, even in this country & I just happened to be one of those people, but maybe you just don’t understand that because you don’t eat meat & or you’re not originally from Montana. Typical liberal
Just now watching this 2024. Great video!!! Thank you!
Another Awesome video from Stan! With much gratitude, Be safe young man!

Great video , thx for sharing video best regards from Canada! 👍💕🍷🐻🍁👌
Thanks for the trip. That was fun. Definitely get the advantage to not having the multiple horse posse. You kinda blend in on foot. Nice 👍
Jim, you must be doing a video marathon. I have see a ton of comments from you. Thank you very much for your interest and your comments.

Awesome video Stan! I was a little worried about your situation with the bears. Be safe.
Really enjoyed this! You have so much experience to share! I definitely want to hike with you! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for the beautiful Hikes you share with us.
Hi Stan, I really enjoy your videos, just strolling along, watching the wildlife and the beauty of nature. Seeing the horse riders, would the bears chase people on horseback? Safe travels!

Adventure and suspense in the wilderness, very nice.

Another educational video. There is nothing like hiking in Yellowstone.
Ur videos are cool
Whoa!!!
Bear bells? Spray? Never a problem.
Yeah, 150 yards is too close for me. Way too close. Where did the second bear come from? Holy buckets!😧
8:14 I see 2 grizzlies (as you were zooming in)
I never seen a bear in the wild but it would be scary...What do u do if u see on?
Do you hike that from 191 or do you drive up the gravel road to a trail head. Think the road I’m thinking of is called TeePee creak road maybe? I can’t remember. I have never gone up that road on the edge of the paek
The trailhead is right on 191. The trail is about 1/2 mile before you enter the park on 191.
You look somewhat like a grizzly yourself, with your rain poncho over your backpack.
I'm like you. How many animals have I walked by with them looking at me?
Thank you so much for your videos, sir.
Your channel deserves much more subscribers....but I guess “people” prefer noisy trash and stupidity over the quiet beauty of nature
I didn't know the normal behavior of grizzlies is to run from humans?
You are a Bear Magnet…..
Those tourists on horseback are right where they oughta be. Few would know how to behave - people would shout, There's a Bear!! and some idiot would try to chase it.
