Another excellent video and commentary. I used to go look for the groups of cows and bulls this time of year in the Talkeetna Mountains. Haven’t been able to the last few years so I really enjoy watching your presentations. Gota love those crisp fall mornings.
Excellent filming! Just curious... Why no visible side arm? I see the spray obviously... With regard to where the big bulls are located, have you used a drone yet to check? Thermal or regular? The range they have now days, you should be able to really cover a lot of area...
Generally in the fall I do not carry a side arm. In the spring I do, but in the fall the bears are more interested in salmon and their cubs are wiser than when they first undenned in the spring. I have a drone, but my pack is already full and heavy. 😉
@@RaisedinAlaska You know someone is an Alaskan when they have those times and dates down to a science = bear activity.. How about the crazy people you might come across? :p. I live outside of Houston, TX.. G29 w/Xstremes.. Absolutely more safe up there! Thanks for the response.. The one thing I have commented on more than anything... Situational Awareness anywhere you... Enjoying your videos! Appreciated!
Excellent points. Frequently a person needs to more concerned about people than wildlife and situational awareness. I am try to be mindful of wind direction and areas where I could surprise a bear: think cover dead smelling things... There are “rules” in bear country and if a person doesn’t attend to them an unpleasant encounter is more likely: been there done that, but I was fortunate and walked away jittery and more educated.
The bull with the biggest rack had some battle scars on his sided I noticed. Maybe the 2 other bulls mated those cows and walked off into the sunset, leaving the less dominant ones there with the ladies.
In this video, I was three or 400 yards so you couldn’t hear the most. I prefer to be closer so you can hear them: not just for myself but also for people watching.
Very well done RIA. Great job!
Thank you very much.

The crispness and the air is magical.
Couldn’t agree more!
amazing video. Love it.
Thank you. Hopefully today will bring bigger bulls.🤞🏽
@@RaisedinAlaska Hope so.
Looks like a great hunting area.
I love the game camera clips.

Just curious what camera are you useing and lens.
@@ethankalicin6074 I currently use a Cannon R7 and a GoPro. 😁

He is certainly not one of the dominant bulls it the area. Those are “learning marks”. 😉
I saw that as well.. Hope he got some analeaze w/antiseptic on those 'rub marks'...
About how far away from the moose are you?

For this video, I was probably three or 400 yards. I prefer to be closer so I can hear them: for me and for the people watching.
👍👍
