4,500 Miles : A Spring Bear Hunt Story

My friend Adam and I started planning our first Western Spring Bear Hunt in September of 2022. After dozens of hours of planning, research, and hundreds of dollars spent preparing, we were on our way to Western Montana.
4,500 miles later, we returned with invaluable experience, two beautiful, mature bears, and a lifetime of memories.
We cannot wait to do it all over again!

Great job! Love spring bear in Montana and Idaho. Spent a time or two near camels hump but mostly hunt the west end across 90 on the border. Appreciate the effort to produce the video.

I am looking at Idaho Utah and Montana next spring season. I live right at the Arkansas/Missouri state line. I live in Arkansas. I am putting a new rifle to take. I just bought a new Browning rifle. A Xbolt Hells Canyon Speed LR 280AI. Now have to decide on a scope. I am want one around a 4x16x44mm size. In a Leupold Huskemaw or Zeiss scope. I am wanting to turkey hunt too. Looking at maybe 10 to 12 day hunt. On public land hopefully.

Good luck!

We had a place up the road from where you stayed back in the 70's and early 80's up behind that old white school house by the freeway access.

It’s beautiful country.

[@kerryfalls3292]

WOW! Excellent video!! Coming to you from Jonesboro, Arkansas! Doing it right in Big Sky Country! Planning a Montana trip in the spring •••is there any other place to hunt bears like Montana????? I LOVE it!!!!! Will be right at home with my 7mm prc ! Thanks again!

[@TheAdventurePursuit]

Good luck to you!

What cabins are these you stayed in? Going to Montana this spring for bear and very interested in that setup. Thanks

[@TheAdventurePursuit]

Black Diamond in De Borgia

[@jacobpetree722]

Curious about your rifle setup, caliber and optic?

[@jacobpetree722]

Also, did you take the meat? I see you caped it out. No hard feelings if you didn’t. I hear some people do and some don’t.

[@TheAdventurePursuit]

Jacob, 6.5 Creedmoor with 140 grain Federal premium cartridge. Vortex Diamondback 12x40. It did the trick, but I may look at something with a little more punch like the .300 winmag. We absolutely packed out as much meat as we could and enjoyed the heck out of eating it!

[@jacobpetree722]

@@TheAdventurePursuit I bet it was a awesome experience. Was this a drawn hunt or otc? I have thought about getting a otc for spring bear but still need to do lots of research as I have never hunted out of state. I’m in central Texas.

[@TheAdventurePursuit]

@jacobpetree722 OTC! Great thing about it is that if you don’t fill your tag in the spring, you can return in the fall!

[@jacobpetree722]

@@TheAdventurePursuit good to know. I am not new to hunting or shooting by any means but what advice would you give to a first timer that wants to go to Montana for bear?
