We're new subscribers. Thanks for a great video!! Beautiful, well trained dogs!! Many of my students brought bear meat to school for lunch. The meat was cut in small cubes, cooked with taters and onions. I heated it up hot for the kids in the microwave. Many students/families had plott hounds but some had treeing Walkers and black and tans. Ever lose a dog to a bear? Some bears took off dog's shoulder and leg with one swipe!
Thank you, Elizabeth! Great to hear of people utilizing and enjoying the bear they harvest.
Elizabeth Morgan I
Elizabeth Morgan The best meat to eat on a bear, especially in the fall when they're fat, is a good roast of the Rearend!
@@peachesandcream.2612 what was inhumane?? Looks like they were taken down with one shot, a clean kill. And of course you are an idiot
Kevin Roberts - As I understand it, hunting with dogs is about as cruel, barbaric and inhumane a method of hunting as you can get! The bears are stalked and chased to exhaustion by the dogs and are often actually set on by the dogs and literally ripped apart alive. If that isn't inhumane then I don't know what is! Sick fucking people! But Karma is truly a bitch and God will have a nice warm place in hell waiting for them - and that makes me very happy!
I dont think I would have taken that shot with the camera man there haha
Don’t ever shot in the direction of someone doofus
Raised out here in South valley California my grandpa had this breed of plotts started with two awesome dogs great video sad to see these older guys coming to an end of the chase god bless all of you great men who raised us on such a great tradition
Mike 67 right on. Thanks for watching.
Only in America , Love It !
Maty Peachy Amen.
What about Russia? You know there are old guys like this hunting bears in the cold as mountains.
I’m in UK. I would love to see such a hunt in person and see the Plotts working Bears.
you know this how they tracked runaway slaves.
You are absolutely right. Do you take joy in knowing that information but it was just stupid to say
07:08( video thumbnail) could have turned ugly-hunter shoots into the direction of man videoing ... Wow
That pup on the desk at the end is going to make a coffee hound.
2am and Im up watching bear hound videos
That wasnt a very safe shot lol. Right in the cameramans path.
The angle was a little deceptive and wasn't quite what it looked like, but thanks for the comment. You were paying attention!
You may convince some people that "the angle was a little deceptive and wasn't quite what it looked like." However, it doesn't take a nuclear physicist to see that was an unsafe crossfire shot in any situation. Please understand that I'm a real hunter and I understand it and have seen it from every angle over the years. I'm not a weekend warrior nor am I an armchair quarterback. Hunting is what I live for. I also want to live to hunt another day, and it's for that reason the individual that took that shot (as well as anyone who tried to justify that as a safe shot) would never hunt with us again.
@Rara Neagra If anyone here is "a 24 pack of beer gulping morons that can't put down the channel changer & trolling hunting videos", it's you......jack ass. Anyone with at least half a brain can clearly see that was a very unwise crossfire situation. Anytime you can see dogs, bears, or any other animal for that matter, broadsided like that, in the middle of the shot being fired and the cameraman or anyone else being in the same position, is NOT a safe situation to be in. Did the camera view show us "looking DOWN and seeing the top of the backs of the dogs & bear"??? NO, IT DID NOT. I agree 100% with Bo Weavil, and that was indeed an unwise decision to be in a crossfire position like that. Literally anything can happen: a hunter can stumble, trip, or something else to cause "a hunting accident". And that ain't no pea shooter he was firing either. A wise viewer/true hunter can't even post a criticizing comment that makes total sense, without some jack ass troll like you calling them names or stupid labels you dream up in your feeble mind, as you hide in cyberspace like a damned coward.
I was just thinking that pretty shady of a shot
Knew a guy whose hog got out and several of us were trying to corral that thing back into the pen. Wasn't happening. Dude decided to just harvest the damn thing and as it ran by he took a shot while my buddy was further down the line of fire. I immediately made eye contact with my buddy as we both realized the gravity of the situation. I brought it up to the dude and he says nah I knew what I was doing the angle was fine... my logic is, if you're a marine veteran, you SHOULD know what you are doing and have enough experience to know better than to do something that stupid and dangerous. It's elementary gun safety. You'll never get enough training and experience that the fundamentals no longer apply to you.
Enjoyed the video. I have bear hunting since I was about 16 years old. I’m now 68 and still love it. 👍👍👍❤️
Just think when you die you will have to answer to the Almighty for all the killing of innocent animals! I hope you come back as a hunted bear in your next life!
I’ve got news for you my friend. We all shall appear before the judgement seat of Christ and give an account, but there will be no reincarnation. It will either be heaven or hell. How is it with your soul my friend. Jesus still saves. By the way God made those creatures for meat for man to eat. And one more thing. I don’t always kill when I hunt. Unless it’s for food for the family. Thank you.
Somebody always has to take a great way of living and the love of the country and try to end it or bad mouth it. Did they not see the smiles on the hounds, the hunters, the kids and everyone involved? Let the ministry of natural resources and the hunters look after the bear population and there will always be wild bear to chase.
John Giff well said. Thanks John.
John. That is a silly statement.
Peaches And Cream. It’s not cruel or inhumane learn your shit. We do it for the environment and for food it’s part of our heritage for years and years so think before you speak
@@peachesandcream.2612 go get a pumpkin spice latte and STFU
Yep because trophy hunters did an excellent job maintaining wildlife in & around Yellowstone when almost all the natural predators were removed to appease them. Between beavers excessively blocking rivers & overpopulated elk, deer & bison herds grazing so heavily they were dying of starvation can't see where trophy hunters went wrong (sarcasm). But then there's a reason why real hunters rarely call trophy hunters real or men as they often know jackshit about the wildlife they hunt or the ecosystems.
If we could stock the world with god fearing, Appalachian, good ole boys like this.... it would be a much better place.
ew
@@TariqNavabiGaming go eat grass
Noah Fuller
You damn right!
Yes!
All except for the god fearing part,hell yeah
Being from Tennessee myself it is nice to see someone catch the human side of this story, men like the ones shown in this video are a rare breed! To capture these moments when a man is proud to see his work in action, the dogs to deliver as they were trained and people enjoying being together in a beautiful place is priceless!
Chad P - Not very priceless for the bear though, is it!
Bet them ol folks could tell some tall tales. I’d sure like to hear em. Lol
And this is why I'm highly confident that Tennessee will never give up their guns!
Hillbillies like you still live in the stone age!
Wow, you people are really brainwashed by the media if you think like that, I pity you
Eight bears in a week. Is there no limit?
Makes me want to go haunt a polar bear!
Ive probably watched this video a dozen times... Would love to hunt with these ole boys and thier dogs. Real mountain music...
Here after the podcast. This guy’s a treasure.
Me too! And I'm glad clay grew a mustache after seeing him without. Lol
Where can I watch the podcast?
@@stevenpete3552 No video. Just audio.
@@wet_spell where can I listen to it at? Lol
Love his podcast!!
I don’t agree with predator hunting. Kill rodents and deer all you want, they were put here for that.
Pete Giannopoulos thanks for the comment. Whether you agree or disagree doesn’t matter to the hard science that prescribes a certain percentage of predators to be taken out each year for the betterment of all wildlife, including the predators themselves. Thanks again
And bear, coyote, fox etc. were not "put here for that?" Says who? I was all for reintroduction of the wolf to the Yellowstone area and now the NM/AZ introduction of the "lobo". However, I am also for an open controlled season once they are established.
can't get more cowardly than shooting a scared bear out of a tree !!!
Thanks for the comment. Haha! That's funny bro.
@@bearhuntingmagazine about as funny as you hiding in a closet and getting murdered
kinda like trapping a deer in a cage and then shooting it . Where is the sport in that ?
drenn70 all joking aside, hunting bears with hounds takes a lifetime of dedication raising and training hounds. Much more goes into that a lot of other types of hunting. It also allows for the hunter to pass game they done want to take (when it’s treed). Thanks for your interest in our video.
Looks like you prefer fist fight with a bear. Good for you.
No, the best bear hunting video would be the bear mauling the guy with the gun.
Wow, what a great video, thanks for bringing us along! We're finally getting enough bears in Kentucky to hunt. You've go a new subscriber.
“Local garmin expert” we got one of those at our club bc none of the old men can work them haha they’re old school
Absolutely wonderful video those old timers could really tell you how we used to hunt bear I've heard of plot dogs but we use Healers down here in South Georgia
Nice shot! Down hill and away from the camera man.
I like hunting and have been hunting since I was a kid but mostly bird hunting, pheasant, turkey, quail, duck, etc. I never really wanted to hunt big game due to excessive amount of meat that comes with it which would take a long time to consume. Never wanted to trophy hunt just for the skin or horns. I hope that bear is going to be put to good use and consumed.
So we have some context they are not hunting "bears" they are hunting "barrs".
I will NEVER forget...To set the scene, My Father and a few of his friends use to Deer Hunt in Cherokee National Forrest. They use to back pack in from Indian Boundary into the Jeffrey's Hell/Cardiac Arrest(their name for it?) Hill. I had heard stories and seen their successes, one was them getting 5 Bucks and hearing about packing it ALL back out..... My first time there was to scout for sign and do some Ruffed Grouse hunting, dad heard from one of the guys, he had jumped "A BUNCH" walking the trail to their old camping area. As it happened, when we got there The North Carolina Side of this area was having Dog Bear hunt going on. It was pretty cold and the Clouds were freezing onto the limbs and brush, just a couple of feet above our heads. Then the HOWLING commenced....maybe it was the freezing clouds, making the Tenor of these howls sound amplified, but I got Goose Bumps. That was ABSOLUTELY an UN FORGETTABLE scene. It went on for hours after day break, we just sat in truck and listened untill the clouds broke and we could see further than 10 yards,lol. We jumped 1 Grouse....needless to say he pitched off across the steepest holler I have ever seen! The BS factor was IN EFFECT(no dogs), had I taken the shot and got him...I believe it would have taken all day to slide down and retrieve him, let alone climb back out LOL. No thanks! I looked at my Father when we reached "THEIR" camp sight..."You guys are CRAZY"...well they did ALL work for TVA Nuclear...Homer Simpsons, one and all!!! Ever tried to Pheasant Hunt with a bunch of TVA folk? Thats another story unto itself...if you know TVA guys YOU ALREADY KNOW!!! Thanks for the Video,Sir! Brought back some wonderful memories!
The people who they live in apalache mountain seem to be very simple and more honest.
Saeid Kharrat thanks for watching.
Great film! So neat to see our history and culture continued.
Sure looks like a Labrador Retriever. Love hounds.
Looked like the camera man was in the line of fire lol
Man, This is an great video. The woods look exactly the same as the mountians where I love to hunt today and where I killed my first bear. Its beautiful up there. Awesome film!
Britt Davis 86 and out with the boys getting it done. Proof right there you don't need to live two blocks from a Hospital to live a long active life. If I make it to 86 I hope I can still feed myself.
I've yet to understand WHY they hunt bears? One doesn't kill 8 in a week for the sake of food. Nor do these guys need them for clothing, etc. This is just for the sake of killing. Shameful. Disgusting. Pathetic.
Thanks for your interest in our video. Every part of these bears from the hide to the meat were utilized by the multiple families involved. Also, a prescribed number of bears have to be taken out each year for the health of the population and sustainability of the habitat. My friend, you speak of something you don't know anything about it. Thanks again and we wish you the best.
@@bearhuntingmagazine I've never heard any hunter say anything different, yet we have wiped almost every species off the planet...with excuses and justification. It's all BS, lies and a facade for insecure men to feel like they need to kill something to feel like they matter. Keep the population in control in the wild and in the mountains?? Utter BS!!! Next you're gonna tell me that they kill kids, or savage farmers cattle. SMH. Total propaganda. There is no real reason for us to hunt bears. Grow up!!!
@@cymbalism1 Thanks again for the comment, but this is where you're massively misinformed. North America has the strongest big game populations in the world because of hunting, not in spite of it. Black bear numbers are higher than they've been in 200 years in North America. Where we have suitable habitat we have big game, and because of cities, agriculture and civilization (creating limited habitat) is exactly why we need regulated, science-based hunting - which is what you just watching. Wildlife is thriving in the wild places of North American and those places and animals are being protected by modern hunting. This isn't spin, this is fact. Do some research on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Thanks again BRO!
would be more impressed if the bear had a Fighting Chance. The way you guys do it seems to be a little cowardly LOL
The correct "wiegh" to grammatically write this sentence ...(the three dots by the (wiegh))... have a purpose called continuation ? The sentence should have a "plethora" of knowledge behind its weighed in comment and purpose . I get it,all emotional fuzzy and at the same time , a conflict of interest, how heartfelt. I dont even hunt ! Yet, I do have all the respect in the world for these hunters, a well thought out plan of attack, and hunt...well done to the guys in West Virgina !
Seeing the bear hiding in the tree made me so sad
James Rhodes stop commenting annoying ass things on everyone’s comments
Eran Puzirevsky always good thing to keep population in check some things may seem bad but r not the meat goes to feed folk bears are not cuddling creatures they are opportunistWhich means they will attack eat about anything keep some outof your kitchen cupboard
I could tell he was the Tennessean by that language, as i have a good friend in the Navy who talked just exactly like that! Yonns want to go! Lol. Cool video because I like hunting & the southern way!
The shooter shot Directly facing the camera man. Absolutely stupid.
Brings tears to my eyes. I used to run beats in my home territory of northern Wisconsin. That first bawling echo through the forest at dawn, gave me chills. Hell. Still does. Many ran Plotts. I preferred Redbone dogs. But regardless of breed, it was the chase we lived for. Many think it's cruel. Yet some of these folks are hunters and wouldn't be fought dead in the pheasant fields without their trusty pointer. Not much difference in my minds eye. It's the chase that matters most. It's that eerie echo of the pack through the swamps and hemlock ridges. The chatter on the radio of everyone and their excitement or disappointment. The stories. The fellowship. The brotherhood and the bloodlines. The bonds created for life. That, and that alone is what being a hound owner is about. Many will never get to feel that. Many will express disdain. But I, I will know the song of hounds of antiquity. I will know the passion of man and beast. I will know the struggle of life and death. For I am a hound dog man. I will be so until I die. Great piece.
WTF! The person filming is almost directly downrange from the hunter when the bear runs across the path and the hunter shoots.
Safety isnt something they care about
I'm sure camera angle is different if you're there in person.
Those dogs were awesome hunters! And beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
You got to love those plott hounds grit and stamina! I. Coonhunting with them.
Makes me wonder if the Boomhauer family is from East Tennessee.
Bear treed is HELPLESS, the hunt SHOULD be OVER, what a crock to kill a helpless animal that is trying to escape and scared, total horse sh-i.
Murica!!!!!!!!!!! Huntin!!!! Fishin!!!! Lovin!!!!! Everyday!!!!!!
Great hunt! This video is truly magnificent - I share your passion for hound hunting and love my dogs as much as my children. This sport is the most fun in life I have ever had.
That's not hunting. 20 + dogs with 10 or 15 men with GPS. I would be ashamed to call myself a hunter.
James Justice The size range is what the difference is. Typically on the size of your game is depending on how many dogs you use. Raccoon and foxes usually can be handle by 1-2 hounds. Bears and mountain lions are the biggest baddest game you can trail, 10 dogs is a good way to prevent them from getting hurt as they can divide the attention of the quarry. Another thing is with more hounds they can work a trail much easier especially when the animal (like a bear) can travel miles in only a few hours. The men also dependent on the certain owners. Some times it can be 1-2 guys hunting with their dogs. Or it’s a social event with multiple people and a bunch of different hounds owned by individuals. The GPS is a point to keep track of the hounds easier and to keep them safe. You can monitor them if they get to close to a road or other danger.
seeing the kids going with you is just fabulous. The kids are our future.
Would love to join in this part of American tradition....
Great work. I really appreciate your effort and integrity in telling a tale. It is clear you are a good man.
Jonathan Tucker thanks for watching, Jonathan.
He was aiming at the bear not the camera man. He hit what he was aiming at
Good video but at 7:08 guy shooting the bear didnt even notice the camera man directly behind the bear. Thats sketch af.
Call it what you want but real hunters don’t use dogs or bait
Scott Miller That makes absolutely no sense at all
People don't understand its family
"Local Garmin Expert" haha that's awesome. Also that guy about clapped Clay when he shot that bear.
I don't believe in killing black bear that way so if I was in the woods and saw that I give the bear my gun
Shut up snowflake
great video. I am from eastern Ky . this vido make me homesick for the people there .
forest grump right on. Thanks for watching the video.
I'm glad people are out here preserving our Appalachian culture. My grandfather used to tell me about bear hunting when he was young.
YIKES for that shot angle.....
Really? A cub!!! WTF!!!
Jody Powell all the bears harvested were adult bears. Thanks for watching.
This is about stupid!!! The dogs are bigger than the bear!!!!!!
Jody Powell Lol no they aren’t. Black bears can kill any number of hounds a regular hound is about 80 pounds while a black bear can be up to 300 pounds
They grow them bunnies big down south...lol reminds me of rabbit hunting looks like alot of fun I would love to try that
Why are u killing this beautiful animal.hwo gave you the right to do it?
Sky Queen thanks for your interest in our video. Scientific wildlife management, which benefits wildlife, prescribes that a small number of bears are taken out through regulated hunting each season. Hunters actually love wildlife and want to see them thrive. Thanks again
I run bear with family when I visit them. We run walkers and trig mix. They been breading training and running dogs for 75 years. We run bear, bobcats, raccoons & cougars. This reminds me of my past on great uncle. Logged and hunter of the north west.
If it ain’t a Plott it just isn’t a dog
My first Snowmobile Mitts were made from my first Black Bear, treed by my first puppy, shot with my first gun( previously owned by my grandfather) a 30-30 lever action
Just Justin awesome usage of a bear hide. Great story too.
Puts happy music over them dragging a dead bear body 10/10 very nice
Polkop90 thanks for watching.
Bear Hunting Magazine No thank you for making the video keeps me entertained
seriously wtf
Peaches And Cream. R/woosh
@@polkop90 Oh come on, sarcasm is a hard one to play in here. Some of these nut jobs really do get a kick out of it. Points for reddit reference though :)
Dose Mr. Roy Clark ever sale any pups? Be a honor to have one.
I had a plot beagle mix after I saw a plot chase a deer into the river and the dog jump in and nosed the the track thru the the water went back up in the land same place the deer did . I had to have that nose gumneck nc easterner swamp hunting tyerrell county
Why would you want to kill bears? They have a hard enough time surviving as it is. Man is already killing them with encroachment.
The black bear population is thriving in most places. They taste good and are good for you, and that's a good reason to kill a game animal. All things must die so others things can live.
Because they taste amazing and their population is exploding in many places.
bloody good vid, i follow clay tall stories N/Z pig hunting with dogs, i'm in the uk, the most i've hunted with dogs is bunnies, or go shoot dear now and then, what does bear taste like? any comparison to other game? Dogs look fine, almost like a visula or weinermerer
We got beagles for bunnies and labs for waterfowl.... anybody with dogs knows the hunt is more for the enjoyment of the dogs than the shooters....I love to see my dogs do what they love
Im sure you don’t mistreat them but most hunting dogs love to hunt I’m convinced, because that’s the only time of year they get released from the chain in the backyard. I’m in East Tennessee and it’s sad to drive in the country because all you see is dogs in little cages in yards or tied to a small dog box with a chain. There’s a motherfucker about a mile from me that’s had a donkey in a small dog kennel in a mud hole beside a creek. Don’t know what’s wrong with people.
My dad use hunt with walker dogs in north carolina 60 years ago. Used to have pics of there bears the killed. I think I'd like do this. I've hunted my whole life
no joke i live there
I love the sound when the dogs are barking I. The woods eclectically when it is a hot trial I also love rigging to its fun hearing them go crazy when one crosses the road or they smell a hot trial
It just doesn't seem like you can equate this style of hunting to spot n stalk or baiting. It's more so the tradition rather than the hunt.
Nice footage and story for sure.... I’m from East Tennessee and the best days of my life was spent behind a hound !!!!! Thanks for the video
Why exactly you kill bears 🐻?
Food and pelt they're also fun to hunt
there are alot more bear here in these mnt's now a days than when I was a boy several right here by my home but I live only about a mile from the interstate highwat and if you run them they will head right across the road and noone will run them because they don't want to get their dogs hit by a car. my bird dog will bark all night on the nite before trashday lol
Steven DeAtley that’s a good sign that there are more bears than when you were younger. Bears are thriving in most parts of North America.
YES i AM GLAD WE HAVE A BEAR POPULATION HERE THAT IS HEALTHY AND GROWING MY SON TREE'D 28 ACROSS THE CREEK THIS YEAR AND MOST ALL OF THEM WHERE YOUNG BEAR .HE GOT ONE THIS YEAR IT WAS A YOUNG BEAR ALSO AND HE LOVES TO HUNTWITH HIS HOUNDS I LOVE MY MOMMAS BEAR STEW SHE MAKES SOME OF THE BEST
These are amazing videos. Just found this channel tonight. Absolutely amazing content. This brings back so many memories of hunting with these dogs. I really need to get back to my roots.
good shit dude....
Art of killing? Having been the victim of aggressive humans baiting their hounds for ‘aggression’, I can only pray for these tormented holy Beings. U$ society thrives on subjugation, rape and torture, so it is not surprising to find such a following for this horrific treatment of such noble beasts - both canines and bears! May karma be swift and may peace eventually return to humanity, before we kill every being not suitable to our delicate ego’s & lies.
Hunting with dogs is not hunting.
Herb Clarke Yeah it is.
Man and dogs have been hunting since they first bonded with us... how’s that not hunting??
Personally it seems more natural to be hunted this way then over bait.
That coffee was good ha doggy my dog loves coffee he goes crazy for it
He loves it!
No chance in hell I’d hunt with these guys. He shot right at the camera man. And don’t try to tell me I’m wrong, my gang hunts this exact type of terrain every year and pile bears up (8 this year)
Right on. Good hunting man.
Man Roy is such a lovable character
6:04 feel bad for the bear just hopelessly looking down and knowing his end is near 😦😞😢
I feel bad for you clicking on the video.....oh wait, no I don't
@@bobtod6923 Well, killing a fierce and powerful animal is one thing, killing a scared and desperate one feels much more cruel.
Abhishek Mhatre Actually that bear thinks it’s avoided the hunters he’s chilling probably if anything mocking them. Any animal that climbs a tree to avoid a predator feels safest there.
Yo Appalachian that accent just sounds okie pokers old bag of lips Lollipop and jobberishings ty good job ty tghurt hounds on scents .ty well lol good job ty.i used lion heart airfare terrier lol have ya ever seen airfare kill a bears oughta tryouts heights ty
Why kill it after you tree it? Let it run again some other day...
Dennis Schell they turn loose many more bears than they harvest. Obviously, this video doesn’t show them all.
I cannot believe that this cruel inhumane form of hunting is still permitted! Why do these bastards hate bears so much?! However, Karma is a bitch and God has a nice warm place in hell waiting!
I ran bears for years in the Adirondacks, mostly training with a buddy that guided, put on a lot of miles. We were in the woods the day the seaso was cancelled by NYS due to a lawsuit, Conservation officer found us in the woods and told us. Do you know Bill Vaznis, I knew him quite some time ago and some good times with him. Hav'nt seen him in years.
Incomprehensible genius. No seriously, I can't understand what they're saying.
That’s where I’m from East Tennessee I’ve bear hunted all over those hills
What you do with the bear ?
Eat 'em
Loved listening to Roy speak
Great video. From a “ sick boar hunter“ it is ALL ABOUT THE DOGS ! ... nothing else more important...
WOW! He still fired even though the camera man was just on the other side of the bear.. Thank God he didn't miss or the bullet didn't pass through the bear. That hunter needs to be more aware of what is on the other side of his target.
