- Some of the most exciting black bear footage ever captured! After missing a huge black bear Clay Newcomb takes a big color phase bear at 3 yards after it bumps into the end of his arrow! This is the full episode "Pretty Close" of Bear Horizon Season 4 by Bear Hunting Magazine
Anyone else watching after hearing this guy on the Meat Eater Podcast ?? I've been listening to all the old episodes and wanted to come help out with the likes vs dislikes awesome video !!
I'm late to the party but I find it interesting that people think that if a bear investigates you and doesn't eat you in 5 seconds it means that it let you live.
Fr bro there not too smart
yeah i thought the same thing. the bear didnt decide to "not eat them", thats ridiculous.
@@i.m.s.s2564 Read his comment again a few more times and REALLY SLOWLY. 'Kay, pumpkin?
Agreed, I thought the same exact thing. I don’t believe in hunting predatory animals. Have no desire to hunt bears or lions never have.
@@HTownguy100 bear meat is actually pretty good... wont try lion tho
Bear : what you doing in here bro, can i join? Oh hunting? No problem you guys have fun, i hope you get a good one, cyaa
(5 secs later)
Bear : dude wtf
LOL
Man is winning :) Beautiful trophy :)
“Excuse me sir? Have you heard about the good word of Bear Jesus? Wait you aren’t a bear! RUN!!!!!”
Man people are soo fucked up 🤣🤣🤣
Lol love it
Clay: travels to one of the most remote places in North America, travels 20miles away from the closest road on boat, sits in a makeshift blind on the ground and shoots a bear from 5 yards with a traditional bow and arrow.
Some dude eating Cheetos in his moms basement: akshually that’s not real hunting, he used bait.
Smdh
bait is bait. A true hunter goes into the wild alone (no cameraman/rifleman backup, guides, and equipment porters like this chump had), naked (except for lions cloth shorts), and harvests a bear with a spear. and its doritos not cheetos i'm enjoyin in my ROOMMATES basement (they just happen to be mom and dad).
All these hunters are just bored psychopaths trying to act tough. Hopefully somebody will gutshoot them in front of their kids and leave them there.
Now I’m not against hunting at all, but it’s a special thing when a wild animal gets that close to you and walks away. Almost sad to take it.
I'm right there with you =/
Me to
Can't let them get habituated to humans
Exactly....
Maybe looking for more popcorn

Same here. Really enjoyed hearing your stories and perspective on MeatEater. Amazing hunt!
I’m on the fence with this one. I’m a bow hunter too. Not sure I’d take the shot. I live by, “if it doesn’t feel right don’t do it.” To me the experience of him getting that close was good enough. Great color phase bear.
I haven't hunted before, but this is exactly what I thought.
I am all for to each his/her own. That said, he is on a bear hunt far from home, he's already had an emotional miss, and this is an impressive animal. Completely understand the shots and congratulate him on a great harvest.
@@johnjones1534 nahhh that’s stupid logic. Bear let them live. Could’ve killed them and they harmed it. It’s screwed up and there’s a reason bear hunting is illegal in half the states buddy. If they would’ve been on the news the next day with there body’s carved into I would laugh. Cuz to each bears is there own. Would literally turn a blind eye if the bear started mauling them and I knew I could help. You took the chance & you know the risks. But don’t justify hunting for sport and meat unless it’s justified and have a license and it’s lawful and feels right. These POS go out and hunt bears for SPORT. Hope they get mauled and get taught a lesson soon
@@JB-pp1kt if you spend 30 minutes, you’ll see that Clay uses the bears he harvests extensively and probably uses more of the animal than any other hunter I’ve seen so hop off your high horse and go to the grocery store
@@JB-pp1kt "bear let them live" now that's stupid logic.
Classic bear, those things are so curious it can be absolutely terrifying if they catch you off guard
*Bear literally spares these guys lives*
Dude: "So you have chosen death!"
Yeah the bear should of killed them. A bite to the face and the bear would of lived
Animal crualty
Gerald Clay they had bear spray on hand, the bear would instantly run away after getting sprayed.
@@sethwalsh8095 yeah after that split second it lounges forward and takes a bite off his face
@Arthur Morgan how do you have the audacity to call someone dumb, you can't even spell! lmao Let alone make any logical sense. You actually waste your time to type stupidity across youtube for no reason.. smh
I’m here because of your interview with Steve. Great episode of the podcast. Fantastic hunt. Whenever someone masters an art people only see what they think is easy because an expert makes it look simpler than it is. What they don’t realize is the years and years of dedication to an art that gets someone to a point where they could make something incredibly difficult look simple. A lifetime of training and dedication made those 15 minutes of footage. Congratulations.
Just heard about this video on the meateater podcast and had to come see it! Wild ass video! Good hunting Clay!
Same here. I just listened to that episode today and had to watch the video
he hit dead nuts that 2nd 35 yard shot on that bear. that is the most impressive part. this man has ice water flowing through his veins.
He left you alone. I felt bad for him. He was nice to the other bears too lol

BC hunter here. I fully grasp the gravity of this moment. Cant for the life of me understand the paradox of bowhunting with bait? A spot and stalk hunt is the pinnacle of hunting. Leads to some of the most amazing experiences you can have outdoors. Because of it leading to moments like this. Bowhunting which requires more skill than hunting with a rifle is like showing off. Tip of the cap to bow hunters , that is taking spot and stalk to the highest level. Bow hunting with a bait barrel is like completely missing the point. Definitely no shortage of bears in this area. Soldier on young fella but try bear hunting without the barrel its more fun.
Fully agree with your dislike of bait hunting, I wonder if this bait hunter uses a salt lick for Deer...
The only time I use bait is in my Mouse Trap...
You cant spot and stalk in the canadian boreal forest lol. Its bait or dogs in that thick stuff
@@TMeightRsClanor
The "" Canadian boreal forest "" is more open then your mind and ' Knowledge of the facts, nice try of distortion...
If your going to bear bait, yet allow the bear to walk right up to your face giving him a chance to kill you, then I'm all for it.
Some countrys its illegal to hunt with bait, for example here in finland, hunting wiht bait isnt even considered hunting here and you can get a fine or jail time hunting with bait.
All the haters are missing the pure joy from clay. I would bet my world that Hunters like clay, the folks like rinella, putelis, Callahan, The Whole meat eater crew, and myself love these animals and want them to thrive more then anyone commenting hate
All these people saying that they would’ve let the bear walk because he walked up to you and didn’t react, but that’s the most dangerous kind of bear there is.
Dilloncw thanks Dillon.
Dilloncw Don't get me wrong, I'm all smiles for our boy! But as a beginner who's still very much learning, would you mind expanding on the theory behind that statement brother? Why is it that you say that a Bear who has shown that upon locating Humans, through scent, vision, hearing etc, a bear in feeding mode that decides humans aren't on the menu, at least on this occasion. Why would this bear be without debate - the more dangerous individual, moreso than for example, a bear who chooses, basically anything else? Taking a nibble etc?
MMA Fight! Magazine Ik this is late but, not everyone in the woods is going to be an experienced hunter, there will also be hikers that partake in this forest who may not know how to react to a bear walking right up to them, they may try to run which will make them seem like a prey target to a bear, or even if there’s children the bear would 100% see those as a prey target
MMA Fight! Magazine Never saw your comment but the reason I said that is the most dangerous kind of bear is because it knew that there was a human there and didn’t leave, it wasn’t scared of him at all and a bear that isn’t scared of interacting with humans is a dangerous bear. This is why they tell you not to feed bears or any other wild animals because the animal loses its fear of humans. I get what you’re saying when you say that an aggressive bear would be more dangerous but the point is that this kind of behavior is what leads to an aggressive bear because they aren’t scared of humans and are more willing to be in a situation with a human where they feel pressured and become aggressive.
You were great on The MeatEater! podcast. Another like from me.

Hey Clay, I've been listening to your podcast for awhile now. I've never shot a bear. But watching this video gave an intense visceral view of what it means to be a hunter. It takes a commitment to fair chase and ethical conservation. Aldo Leopold said "It must be a poor life that achieves freedom from fear". I dig it. Keep the wild places wild
We have your back, Clay! Hunting is conservation!
Right on, bro! Thanks for having our back!
Woww 🙌👏👏👏👏
No it isn’t

Holy shit I know rinella has the long arm of the conservationist but trying to like every meateater fan comment, and gave me chills, as to just how great this 1 man is for our way of life.
Shucks....thanks bro. Appreciate the comment and support.
Does your way of life include sucker punching. He only released his arrow after he realized the bear was no threat and wouldn't attack him.
Fyi a sucker punch is when nobody saw you. Hunting channels now and says are a bunch of bridges and anywhere you there's a bridge there's a troll
@@BroScience710 Are you inbred? That is the only excuse for what you just wrote. That would excuse your stupidity. If you proof read the things you wrote I would understand them.
@@BroScience710 A sucker punch - is a punch made without warning or while the recipient is distracted, allowing no time for preparation or defense on the part of the recipient. The term is generally used in situations where the way in which the punch has been delivered is considered unfair or unethical, and is done using deception or distraction, hence the term 'sucker' used to refer to the attacker.
No way I’m shooting him after he basically fist bumped you.
Who lets a bear get this close to you without shooting it? you’re lucky to be alive to post the video.
Super legit. Great shots, and insane story, literally write it down and keep the story attach to the bear skin for the years to come man.
Thoroughly enjoyed your recent appearance on the meateater podcast. Thumbs up from me, and wow, what epic footage mate
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Great to hear you on Meateater. I especially enjoyed the discussion of the Ouachitas---one of the most beautiful places in North America!
so glad Meateater put out that episode highlighting you! Looking forward to following along on some of your adventures!
idk how u can shoot that bear after he was friendly rip
@Lord Ball-sac the 2nd I can shoot a dragon in the head from 3 feet away I'm a hUnTEr.
@Lord Ball-sac the 2nd I agree, but when it lets you live and you have a magical moment. Which rarely happens to anyone and you ruin it by shooting anyway, your just a turd in my book.
@@danjan5506 you do understand that the goal in Bowhunting is to get as close as possible right? would you like it better if he shot from further away?
This hunter is disgusting!!The bear was obviously friendly. It's a crime to kill it
@@cmich4345 Wild animals are not "friendly" nor evil. They don't share your human emotions. The bear backed away when it realized it was not normal prey, and most black bears have an instinctive distrust of humans. You have forgotten your roots.
I thought I was about to watch the hunter become the hunter when that bear walked up to you.
Meateater podcast was great stuff! Amazed I never saw this video before, but glad I have hear you talk about it prior to seeing.
Dennis Shields thanks Dennis. The book is often better than the movie!
I know this is an old video but the amount of "GRRRRRRRRR" you had right there with that encounter, I would have messed myself. Thank you for doing what you do.
I've would have let that bear walk , that bear let u live for another day.
same thing popped right away also in my head...
EXACTLY. THE QUESTION IS: WHO IS THE ANIMAL? HE KILL IT WHILE THE BEAR LOOKED HIM IN THE EYES. THAT'S NOT FAIR. 😭
@@eugenciocnitu2552 survival of the fittest
Exactly
Google "bear bluffing." Grizzly bears and even black bears do a thing called "bluffing" where they act passive and friendly right before attacking. If a grizzly bear comes anywhere near you during hunting or even camping, they will act friendly at first right before an attack. You need to either kill or it scare it off with bear pepper spray or loud yelling and posturing. Stop trying to rebuke those who have experienced things you will never encounter.
Listened to the MeatEater Podcast on my way to work this morning and the first thing I did was pull up this video in the parking lot. I see nothing wrong with what you did. It’s easy to armchair quarterback back your video and all I can say is you followed your instincts in a pretty high stress moment. Great job.
Tom Hickman thanks for the comment. Right on.
I watched this on my phone and my adrenaline was up when he got that close.
I heard you on Meateater today. I had to watch the video. Wow! Mad respect for your patience.
i've killed deer but i could not take a bear, theres something in me that hurts when i see bear takes
Such beautiful yet POWERFUL animals. Truly magnificent! Yet in some areas this is necessary for wildlife management. I’m sure you understand
A deer is gentle, it wouldn't harm you for any reason. A bear would eat you alive on a whim. Would literally start chewing on your internal organs while you were still conscious. I'd kill a murdering bear in a second over a sweet deer.
Watch a bear eat a fawn alive. Your mind will change quickly.
@@marieandemerson1555 Trust me if i was one on one with a bear i would totally kill it if i needed to. To go out and hunt one and shoot it dead with out it even looking at me i just couldn't.
Probably because they're the closest cousins to dogs. Puppies and cubs resemble each other a lot. Lone wolves/coyotes and grizzlies are know to hunt with each other for team work.
If the bear had jumped in that would've been the end of you. He let you live dude.Sad ending but glad you survived dude wow.
The other guy probably had a rifle.
@@5dwolf22 they use bear spray, its nuts to shoot bear from that distance it could attack if not brained instantly, they got away with that arrow only cause its young bear and was submisive, big alfa male would have charged after getting first arrow
Poor guy, put that potatoe out of your mouth, break you weapon and buy a brain...
@@MostIntelligentMan No that was a very large mature colour phase black bear. Not a small brown bear.
The adrenaline and maybe even some fear that would be shooting through these guys as this unfolded would be unimaginable. Not taking a shot at the bear at that point would be VERY risky. If a bear was confident enough to get that close once, dont put it past him to quickly turn back around and charge this time should you decide to not shoot. All you would be thinking is how I wish I took the shot when I could have. Well done lads, ignore the dislikes, and congratulations on an amazing catch and experience.
An amazing "catch" i think its a kill bucko
@Subudei Dude, as far as I understand the video they deliberately went on a hunt and searched for the bear! Keep your no choice bullshit, he made that choice when he went hunting bears with a puny bow! As for hitchhikers, they have no right nor need to go into bear-territory. If they just would let the bears alone, nobody would get hurt!
All these folks saying "the bear spared him" or "the bear gave him a second chance" without ever having hunted let alone spent time in the true wilderness. The bear was curious and then realized that this was not prey that it was used to, or even thought "oh... humans, back away". The bear was not starved, it had plentiful food so it didn't need to mess with these two. He is a hunter and strives for as clean a kill as possible. These critics have forgotten their roots while they shop in the supermarket.
All these people are commenting how the bear spared the guy's life, but all those other bears were also pretty close too. That's just what happens when you hunt over bait.
The bear gives you a second chance of live, then you killem
It didn’t, bears usually come and investigate than almost immediately come back to see if your edible and they will either take a chunk out of you or attack harder. He would’ve mostly likely been attacked anyway
Bear usually arent agressive, if they feel in danger they eitjer inspect or run away, if they have cubs to protect they attack
its called hunting
@@i.m.s.s2564 if you lay bait, is it trapping?
@@allangbarrie if u lay bait with a trap, its trapping. if you hunt, its hunting.
i mean i like hunting but he lets you live why dont you let him live
IAD Fishing I like hunting “but”..... you don’t like hunting..
@@Kylehikes47 +
IAD Fishing hunting has been going on as long as humans have been around. There is a distinction between man and animals that is profound and important. Those who are farthest from the natural world have the most extreme attitudes towards the protection of animals. It is ironic that many people who have these extreme ideas of protecting animals have no problem with aborting a human baby. Hunters have the most respect for wild animals because they want them to be around for future hunts. Wish more people respected human life to love and respect the unborn babies that are treated like bio waste.
@@sheldonberg125 very well said!!
@@sheldonberg125 I have a problem with aborting human babies, I also like the hunt as a mean to eat. I even respect hunting for sport if it's respectful and not harmful to the wild life of the area. But I have a problem with western adrenaline addicts hunting wild animals at point-blank range without even trying to surprise them when they're obviously accustomed to human interaction. It's morally questionable. I eat meat everyday. Did you get my point ?
What a life altering experience. Just as amazing is the camera work. The guide never flinched at all.
Thought I had already liked, and commented on every video. Must have missed a few. All the best Clay, and fam👍
Rinella sent me here. We are going to shift the balance heavily towards 👍
It's working!
Watched this after your MeatEater podcast. Thrilling hunt and excellent video. Keep it up!
Thanks, Thomas.
Bears are like people, some nice and some rank. This bear may not have been hungry or interested right now, but you bet your ass he’d have come back for them once he was desperate.
HF dude! I was shitting my pants from behind the monitor, cant imagine how unerving it must have been that close!
Should've let that bear live another day, since he did let you live another day
you are right
And bro bears don't just "let you live" like u pretend it's a power balance between him and you
Bears don't believe in morals it's not like the bear decided "oh wait a minute imma let this dude live he looks cool " it doesn't work like that
A bear won't hesitate attacking so please don't risk your lives
You can have morals with humans not in the dangerous wild life
That bear chose to not kill that man, not out conscience but as he didnt feel the need to do so. What you have said is irrelevant to what my point was. Animals make choices out of the need to do so. It's common sense that animals don't have a conscience or morals awe do,but they still choose to do or not do something.
@@1bamboy and how do we know that the bear won't come back a second time again bro when you're under risk you shouldn't hesitate taking action that's how humanity should really work that's my point my friend
Brett Miller why do you make animals equivalent with human beings? Humans have been hunting animals since time immemorial. Sport hunters know more about conservation and care more about these animals than animal rights activists. The whole problem as I see it is that the extreme views on animals being equivalent or better than humans is based on some ignorance or outright hatred of humanity. Get yourself together.
They should re-title this video “How I almost became bear scat....”. Waaaay too close for comfort !
while im not into bow hunting man thats a once in a lifetime bear you took. congrats
Thats crazy! Great shot placement. First shot had him right in the basket. Congrats on the mature bear.
Like many others, the Meateater podcast got me here. Your incredible encounter is beyond amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, David.

Looks like we tipped the balance on that like to dislike ratio. Glad to see it. I think you did a phenomenal job! Thanks for the awesome video.
Thanks, Bob.
You can hunt black bears in Michigan if you get one of the licenses because we literally have 17,000 of them but even still idk how I feel about bear hunting like this
Thank you for using respectable music for the kill scene instead of the typical stock beer commercial rock music that a lot of hunting channels use.
12:47 anyone else think it’s ironic how they’re really gentle with it and even lovingly pet the dead animal?
TheMarioMen1 thats our way of showing respect. Thanks for your interest in our video.
No because the had no reason to kill the bear .the bear came right up to them and was leaving when the took their shot .let them live or one day their gone beautiful animals. Ye boys out killing them
@@keithkeegan2956 Do you know what conservation is?
Keith Keegan well they hunted it it’s all pretty regulated keeps the numbers up they won’t all just disappear from hunting
@@TheMarioMen1 Your grammar is wierd af.... But they have to keep the predator level at a certain level to prevent other vulnerable animals from dying off.

Do people go on these hunting videos just to dislike them because its hunting???
They are dumb

Dang I can’t imagine the feeling you had when he was that close to you
What cound him imagine being a stupid hunter?

He must’ve felt dead inside since he killed it.
@@jahyeet1137 I'm italian: I teach you how to spell
mln sclrc 😂
With the amount of nerves and that adrenaline...wow... but why did you not shoot when he stood in front of you? This is a wild video.
Biggest balls of steel ever. He’s laughing that he almost “got ate by a Bear!”
Unfutunately he did get eaten..
He completely froze when it approached, couldnt even get an arrow off. Had to wait until the bear turned its back on him after sparing him and slowly walked away
I’ve got to say I wouldn’t have shot that bear. Not that it was wrong to anymore than any other predator/prey relationship. But nope, I couldn’t shoot an animal after that kind of encounter
Michael Arnette thanks for the comment, Michael.
Well said. The bear let you go but could have killed you, and in return you shot him in the back. Oh well. Personally I dont shoot what I wont eat, so if you used the meat good on you. Otherwise, that's fucked up IMO.
Thats exactly came to my mind. But oh well he had his moment of hunting.
Me either but that's because my cultural background has a lot of spiritual respect for other life. If I had a bear choose to walk away rather than try to kill me, I would also choose to walk away rather than kill it. But that's just me. I'm not saying he's wrong doing what he did.
I totally understand what you just said.And also the guy was afraid when he presenciad the situation. I presumed that was a new experience to him at that moment as you can hear he saying right after and from what he felt, he didn't know how to menage his feelings hold of what could happen...thats what i see..
This is my favorite bear hunting video of all time!!!
this is basically my goal in live right after having children
This is the coolest bear hunt video I've seen
I wasn’t even there, and dam near shit my pants watching it! That moment when you ask yourself why the hell did I bring this prehistoric stick for a weapon!!! Beautiful bear! Way to get it done!
Great listening to you on the Meateater podcast and awesome video! You got a like from me!!
That second shot was gold! So glad you didn't just wound him with the first shot.

Meateater podcast brought me here to say - how dare you kill this bear after he spared your life :D
Hahaha
@@nathanhaaland2002 7
What episode?
It's true though. Everyone in this video should be ashamed of themselves. I've done a bit of bear hunting myself. Bear baiting is unsportsmanlike, it teaches bears that human stuff means food means survival. And, it's not even hunting to just walk to a giant barrel of food that you left out and sit around for a bit. Trophy hunting is unsportsmanlike, in nature the weak, old, and sickly are killed, to do anything but that promotes weak and sickly populations. Killing big boar bears is in no way good ecologically, what is he even talking about with bear populations at all being related to moose and caribou populations? They kill off some calves in the spring, but bears and especially black bears just aren't realistically predators of large mammals. And, having predators for large mammals doesn't hurt populations of game, it holds them in moderation instead of boom-bust as they decimate vegetation and then run out of food and die off in mass on a cycle a couple of decades long.
Learn your ecology. Be a moral sportsman. This guy is gross.
@@mckingery21 I have zero doubt that "this guy" knows tremendously more than you do about game animals, ecology and bears. I'll take his word over someone who has hunted bears "a bit", which I doubt is true.

I see alot of comments on this thread that shows the ignorance of the public in the role hunting plays in wildlife conservation. I've hunted with these guys, and believe me when I tell you, they are some of the most ethical hunters I've ever met. They do more for bear conservation in a week than most will do in a lifetime.
Great video young man! Keep the tradition alive.
@ 0.45 "most of these shots are gonna be pretty close" 😂 shit got real close awesome video 'instant follow
Why do they hunt with bow and arrow, isn't it much more efficient and less painful for the prey to use a rifle?
Franz Eggert yes and no. It’s viewed by most to be less sporting and fair what with all the added shit on rifles to make it easier to harvest.
Like flying fishing to gill netting
@@BlackKnight-ll8qh Yeah, but if you're a good shot its a one shot kill... Whereas a bow and arrow is less likely.
@@javierescuella10 it's almost always one shot with a bow too. That second shot wasn't necessary, that bear was dead on his feet, but typically if you have another shot opportunity at something you've hit, you take it, you don't know for a fact whether or not it was necessary, and in this case it wasn't, but it's just general best practice.
@@ethanbaker6264 Good to know, a gun just seems more humane I guess
@@javierescuella10 it's really not much different unless someone tries to shoot in the head and that's too high risk of a shot to take ethically. I've seen videos of elk shot with a bow that didn't realize it and kind of went about his business for 10 seconds or so before just falling over
You shot that bear in the back after looking it in the eyes. very dishonourable 🙏🏻

That bear let you live...you should've let him live. You have no honor.
Google "bear bluffing." Grizzly bears and even black bears do a thing called "bluffing" where they act passive and friendly right before attacking. If a grizzly bear comes anywhere near you during hunting or even camping, they will act friendly at first right before an attack. You need to either kill or it scare it off with bear pepper spray or loud yelling and posturing. Stop trying to rebuke those who have experienced things you will never encounter.
Man!! You’ve got some angels from above taking care of you 😇
