The branch impact of the bullet just prior to hitting the bear was a good catch while editing. I have fouled a shot exactly the same way by hitting a branch between me and the animal. I came up with a way to help avoid it which may have been useful in this case with your bear- When setting your parallax for the shot I think most people just quickly (myself too at one time) get the focus perfect on their animal and then move on to the rest of their shot process. If you focus in and out a little bit with the parallax adjustment sometimes a branch or grass between you and the target comes into focus when it would otherwise "disappear" if just fine focused/parallax set for the target distance. This technique has bailed me out a few times over the years. Incredible content. Keep up the great work
Lol...I can relate! We would drive 6 hours to our spot in Eastern Wa. and hunt for a week. Hike for miles and see does and two pointers all week and come home with nothing,well maybe a grouse or coyote. BUT the time spent there in that area will always be a joy to my heart and amazing memories that I wouldn't trade for anything. The most important part for me was believing that all I saw was created by God for me to enjoy and I did and still do. Because it's He (the Lord) that should get our praise for ALL He has made. Appreciate you and your videos!!
Respect your integrity and sense of responsibility with the notched tag. Bright side, you got to hang out with your buddy hunting for 5 days and nothing is more memorable than that! keep your head up!
It’s illegal cuz you dont possess the animal . They need a better system. Alberta has a tag system that works good. Green tag that ya put in the animal when harvested
@@elksplosive2214 that’s interesting. I know there are plenty of people that shoot an animal, can’t find, go kill another the next day. For harvest data that adds up quickly and it would make sense to include that and allow people to report that. I report it on my mandatory reporting when I’ve lost an animal.
Always enjoy watching your video adventures. This two part series really delivered some breathtaking scenes, and presented a realistic view of real hunting. What an epic grind through some country most wouldn’t even last a day. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
That’s hilarious that Samong packed the same exact food for seven days in a row. It always feels overwhelming when packing food for multi day backpack hunts just because there is so many other decisions that have to be made during hunting season. 😂 good save on the beef stew idea 🍲
Love these types of trips with just your tools and the land for a fun and memorable experience. Thanks guys for sharing this great hunt, always a pleasure to see a post by this young man outdoorsman, and film maker. Gods speed to the crew, family and fans. 💪🏽💪🏽🎥💯👍🙏🏻
Buddy you've got a lot of dedication. I can't imagine what you're pack weight is with all the camera gear and camp equipment, food ,but I'd be kill't in the first two hours. Props to ya
If you can afford kennetrek boots. I highly recommend them I have been wearing my pair for 7 years now and love them. They are very comfortable. I have the Mountain extreme one pair in none insulated and a pair in 400 Insulated. I use the none Insulated in weather down to 20° and the 400 Insulated on everything else. I can't say enough about the boots I think they are the best boots out there.
He wears Crispis. Once you’re shopping in this higher quality level, the fit of the shape of the boot is much more important than the brand name. If Crispis fit better, wear those. If Kennetreks fit better, wear those.
Man, gridding that rough country really tires you out but it has to be done. I shot a whitetail two years ago that didn't bleed a drop. Finally found it after a thorough search. You guys really looked hard and maybe that first shot hit that limb and flew wide. Saw a giant whitetail two days ago that gave me a slip but lots of time left. Good luck
Hey samong I know you’ve been out in the wilderness since you were a kid. Would love to hear your stories of Bigfoot if you’ve had any or scary stories!!
I unfortunately know the exact feeling you felt when you couldn't find your black bear. I was unable to track down my mule deer buck that I shot this year. We found blood, and it looked bright red and could even see bubbles, which made me think it was a lung shot. But it might have just been a one lung hit, because the deer was slightly quartering away and the shot angle was uphill at 9 degrees according to the range finder. We grid searched too, to no avail. It was a sickening feeling. I also notched my tag. Knowing that buck was more than likely dead somewhere made me feel like I couldn't justify taking another.
Man I’ve been really enjoy the series of this hunt. That was a nice buck and I really wish you both had more time to make a move on that buck. Until next time, hunt safe and Goodluck
Hi, I don't think you hit that bear. If you had he would have reacted sooner after the shot. Best of luck for the rest of your hunting season. Thanks for the videos.
Perhaps Samong will see your comment and mix it up with "bowl" or "cirque" or, for the really shallow ones "swale" in future videos. Mountainous terrain features actually have a lot of specialized terminology attached, much of it is foreign language in origin, as they are used by Alpinist climbers. But few of us hunters have any real need to know terms such as "serac" or "col" to communicate our observation and intent to each other. "Watch out for that big chunk of ice." or "Careful crossing that saddle" will usually suffice. 😁 EDIT: Oh, I forgot "couloir" (actually, could not remember how to spell it 😆and it's tough for a Yank like me to pronounce properly). I'd just say: "That chute looks like our best route through the cliffs so we can get up to that hanging basin!"
Nothing in this video that i care about other then samong tagging out even if he couldn’t find the bear 🐻 but know its dead. All Respect to you my man good luck out there and shoot good. 🦌
To me it looks like that first shot on the bear was barely over it’s back judging from the puff of dirt on impact. Good on you for notching your tag still tho.
Was a pass through. Them guns are fast . Likely made a small hole and didn’t do the damage cuz of it being a non lethal shot. It’s common with the guns that don’t have that heavy hitting power
@@elksplosive2214what an unappetizing word salad your comment is. As far as rifle cartridges go, the 6.5 creedmoor is a modest velocity cartridge, leaving the muzzle at around 2700 fps. Bullet construction determines penetration, not caliber. He’s shooting 130 grain Nosler Accubonds, which are a chemically bonded bullet that should penetrate and expand just fine. The issue was the bullet striking the tree branch several yards in front of the bear, not the cartridge and not the bullet
Hey Samong, what’s that bingo holder mechanism you use. Could you give me their info. Thx Great video as usual and very entertaining despite the lack of game. Keep on upwards!
My spot for whitetail is a 1/2 mile walk uphill and I drag a deer downhill back. I'm too dang old now to do what you guys do. No packs I could except I'd probably twist something walking on all those rocks.
Different scale for sure, but hunting the hills in Wisconsin is kind of the same thing. Several places to hide but only a few to be able to see them. We have places with very well worn trails and places you could have 7or 8trails in just 50yards or so. Add under brush and trees now you can only hunt a couple spots of some of the sign
I have lived in oregon for 65 years and all the deer in eastern oregon are about gone for the same reason just people thinking they are entitled and poach instead of enjoying the hunt and not thinking it’s just about shooting the game🤔😳
Wow, have you ever interacted with another human being before, let alone a hunter who may have mortally wounded a bear and couldn’t find it? Your lack of empathy is beyond the pale.
We’d lose all of the individual qualities of this channel and it’s videos that make Samong seem like our buddy who we hang out with on epic hunts and fishing trips. There are plenty of banal channels that commoditize and fetishize kill shots. Go watch those instead.

Amen praise the Lord brother! I’m starting to get into hunting am from Yakima and will be going hunting next year hoping to get elk. God bless you!
Respect your integrity and sense of responsibility with the notched tag. Bright side, you got to hang out with your buddy hunting for 5 days and nothing is more memorable than that! keep your head up!
That’s why they call it hunting not harvesting.. Great stuff you two! Absolutely great content once again and the still photos are epic as well!!
Hunting with your best buddies, having dinner and fun , couldn't get any better than that.
Respect for notching the tag even though you didn't recover him...not everyone does that.
I resect it, but that's illegal where I'm from.
@@shuswapoutdoors say what? Why is it illegal? Most likely killed the animal and that’s the right thing to do in my opinion.
It’s illegal cuz you dont possess the animal . They need a better system. Alberta has a tag system that works good. Green tag that ya put in the animal when harvested

I think we needed some more beef jerky
Already pumped to get into that country together next year

Waited forever for part 2! Finally!!!
I discovered your podcasts yesterday. Great content! I really enjoy watching your general public unguided hunts!
Love the way you record it. Love the gear ,food reviews, plus the game footage. I'm taking notes for my pack in hunts next season.
I could watch your camera work all day. Thanks for sharing
I have the ut-most respect for you for notching your bear tag. A very honorable thing to do.
God apeed, I respect what you did with bear tag, very ethical! Best of luck, stay safe and God bless
You guys are serious athletes! Love your content.
Buddy you've got a lot of dedication. I can't imagine what you're pack weight is with all the camera gear and camp equipment, food ,but I'd be kill't in the first two hours. Props to ya
Big buck= perseverance
Mad respect bud
Respect you punching the tag bro. Good content man! Keep it up
Lettss gooo! New upload. Gonna stop homework real quick lol. Extravagant content as always Thnx Samong!!
Reaction to seeing the big buck, priceless!
Great hunt, it’s definitely an incredible experience going deep into the high country!
Not easy to film a hunt but I enjoy all the content you putting out
Your a better man than most for tagging that bear! Mad respect. Congrats on your stud elk and buck this year to bro!

I got some Vasque boots for around 330$ best choice I ever made.
Another great hunt in the books.
Great job!! Really thought you guys were going to make a play on that buck. Maybe next year he will be around and be a bit bigger.
Undoubtedly putting in some solid hard work!
Wow that was great for you to Notch your tag Now I know why I want your channel keep it coming
Great way to go Bros! Tagged or not, protein never goes to waste.
This needs more views! Great Hunt! I need to move to a state with more public land hunting already haha
Man your videos are awesome and only keep getting better 👍👏 !!!!!!!
Way to stay after it boys. Didnt notch a deer tag on the trip but u did successfully find ur objective.
Thank you for the video, i definitely enjoyed it a lot 😊..
Great video guys!
I enjoy ur videos I have since ur first year on RUclips
the snap shot pics with the shutter are cool
Man, gridding that rough country really tires you out but it has to be done. I shot a whitetail two years ago that didn't bleed a drop. Finally found it after a thorough search. You guys really looked hard and maybe that first shot hit that limb and flew wide. Saw a giant whitetail two days ago that gave me a slip but lots of time left. Good luck
Really enjoying the content started watching you a week or so ago
You my friend are one tough dude.
Been waiting for this!
Hey samong I know you’ve been out in the wilderness since you were a kid. Would love to hear your stories of Bigfoot if you’ve had any or scary stories!!
Thanks for the vid
Niiice. All about the hunt and adventure. Keep it up the both of you
Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Awesome as always
Been waiting for this!! Always great contents! 🔥🔥💯
Where’s the chump in last weeks video that commented that he seen what samong got at the meat shop and that he wouldn’t ruin the surprise?
Great job though man! Way to grind it out even though you couldn’t find that bear. Your not the only man that didnt fill his tag haha
yous guys crack me up talking about your dedication n whatnot, but still i admire both of your hunting integrity.

That Bear definitely rolled up under a log.
Looked like a physically and mentally demanding hunt but I enjoyed it all.
Peak refuel Chicken Alfredo is the winner. I will have to try it.
Who makes the glassing stick that you were using? Great idea!!
I think they call it a finn stick
This is the Kestrel Glassing Systems monopod. Check the description for details!
What's the small bino stand you use when glassing? Looks neat.
Its too bad you didn't recover that bear but good punching that tag!🤙
Hi, I don't think you hit that bear. If you had he would have reacted sooner after the shot. Best of luck for the rest of your hunting season. Thanks for the videos.
Another quality hunting video. Sorry to hear that you didn't find the bear BUT that"s hunting.
We need a "basin" counter for this hunt 😄
No joke must say "basin" hundreds of times
Perhaps Samong will see your comment and mix it up with "bowl" or "cirque" or, for the really shallow ones "swale" in future videos.

Bro I love ur stuff
It's very rare for a mortally wounded animal to run uphill for any good distance. They will usually seek thick low ground and water.
Did Nate buy the same Browning x bolt 6.5 creed rifle as you?
Nah, we just went in with my rifle on this hunt.
@@SamongOutdoors Smart move to use the same rifle. Helps with weight management. Thanks for the response.
What kind of tent does nate use?
Looks like NE Washington? Some seriously hard county. Can't believe you guys drug those giant packs all over that place. 💪🏽
Nothing in this video that i care about other then samong tagging out even if he couldn’t find the bear 🐻 but know its dead. All Respect to you my man good luck out there and shoot good. 🦌
Lol 😆😆😆 I never see 👀 a happy man hunter like that lol 😆😆 enjoy
Great vid and hunt! What else you got planned?
Good job.
I just found your channel

What is the sling set up for your rifle..is it part of the pack or something i can buy for mine..i cant stand the way i have to strap my gun
Hey Samong, what’s that bingo holder mechanism you use. Could you give me their info. Thx
Great video as usual and very entertaining despite the lack of game. Keep on upwards!
Thanks! This is the Kestrel Glassing Systems monopod! Check the description for details.
good stuff
Happy for you guy's but sad for the dad deer 🦌😅

What type of rifle to use bro?
Browning X-bolt Hells Canyon Speed in 6.5 cm
Ohh damn. This does not feel 1hour at all.
Respect and admiration for notching your tag… by the way you guys are starting to look like Call and Lampers
I like your hunting ethic , I personally wish more people around me in Oregon surrounding my private property stop poaching the deer
I have lived in oregon for 65 years and all the deer in eastern oregon are about gone for the same reason just people thinking they are entitled and poach instead of enjoying the hunt and not thinking it’s just about shooting the game🤔😳
Do you guys eat the leg of the mule 1st?
Got to practice shooting a little bit huh
im bored to death..been waiting for this video!..
What animal fur is that a 7:12?
Most likely elk.
First yay!
WOW, do you ever kill anything?
No.
Wow, have you ever interacted with another human being before, let alone a hunter who may have mortally wounded a bear and couldn’t find it? Your lack of empathy is beyond the pale.
Your bullet hit the branch and you miss the bear just watch the video
100
Clean miss on the bear
Looked like a clean miss
The shot was deflected, you missed the shots on that black bear.
Bachelorette of does. 😂
That’s Bino, not bingo.
I look to the stars and see.....Him.✝️
well young man if you put a bullet in that bear that's why people use 300 Win Mag or 308 or shotgun slug good luck Uncle Larry love you all
Those are 2 wildly different cartridges, ballistically speaking.
I prefer you to rearrange your movements, tracking, shooting and talking. A bit too much personal activities rather than aiming and shooting.
We’d lose all of the individual qualities of this channel and it’s videos that make Samong seem like our buddy who we hang out with on epic hunts and fishing trips.
