ALASKA THREW EVERYTHING AT US Coastal Black Bear Hunt

That was brutal. Nothing like last minute preparation. My name wouldn't be Chris B if procrastination wasn't my middle name. We are going to Alaska tomorrow and I just had to fletch a couple more arrows. We're using our super light arrow build with these bears that we're going to be chasing and I'm feeling pretty good about it. We're going to also use the 33 that we just built on these bears. Got to shoot a little bit, double check my sight tape, then I got to throw all my stuff in the suitcase. Bow's dialed. We got to get the rest of our equipment together and we'll throw it in a bag and we'll wake up at 3am and then jump on a plane and then we'll go to Alaska. Simple as that. Good morning YouTube world. I hope you got more sleep than we got last night. We didn't get very much. Oh well. To Alaska we go. Made it to Alaska. We're gonna go meet up. We're gonna go meet up with Trail and Cody from GoHunt. They're here. The rest of the Sig crew is here. This hunt is going to be super fun because we got a group of guys and we're gonna be on a boat. So this is step one of the trip. We got here in Anchorage. We're gonna meet up with everyone. We got a couple rental trucks and we got to drive south. This is Damon. What's up bro? Cody. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Okay I feel better. You guys got a bunch of stuff. Oh yeah all of our stuff showed up. Can we hug? Yeah we do hug. We're past that. What do you have there? I got a tag. I got a bear locking tag. I got sport fishing tag. I got king salmon tag. I got you a gift. Just one though. Tradition. Moose's tooth. I've ate it every single time I've been here. You have? Yeah. I've never been. There's some stickers. Four years old. That's one of the OGs. Made it here in Homer, Alaska. Pretty good drive. But we made it. Gotta dump our gear. Get in this awesome hotel and get into our awesome bed and take an awesome good night's sleep because we're so tired. Jet lagged. But we're gonna get some food first. Meet with the rest of the crew. We got an early morning to get on the boat. Get everything settled and tomorrow's the day. Good morning everyone. Welcome to the boat. Boat's somewhere over there. We're unloading. We got this cool little buggy that Cody said we must get and we're gonna load it up. We're gonna get on the boat and we have a long, we got a long haul to get where we hunt. So we got plenty of time on the boat to get situated and everything. But it's time. It's happening. It's like 6 a.m. Yeah 6.05 right now. Let's rock and roll. We going fishing. We going fishing for the first time today. We got some bad weather kind of in our route so we're gonna hopefully wait it out by fishing. Great alternative. No one's complaining. It's gonna be a fun time. He said full rain gear out there That's a pretty good one. Yeah it's a pretty good one. Hooked up. First fish. All right. Doubled up trail and I. That's awesome. Which one's bigger? That was kind of quick. Same time. I caught mine on the reel up. I was probably 30 feet off the bottom. Yeah. I was reeling up because you had one. Man that wind's cold. Last to go out. Everyone else got skiffed out. We're actually on a trail tonight just for a couple hours. He just got skiffed right to the shore. We're just waiting for him to get back and then for the boat to get back and then jump in. We're doing it. We're bear hunting. You can see just tons of all these all this grass is chopped. Like it was chopped with a lawnmower. You can just see it all right here. Might not be a bear. Might be blacktail or something but they come down to this freshly new growth springtime in the swamp. I think they call this skunk weed or something. They dig it up and they dig up the roots and then just chop on the tops. It's impossible to get to him. Back across. First bear. First bear of the trip. Let's go. I guess we've seen some from the boat but actually on the ground. I'm gonna step out in here and see how deep it is. Now he was on the shore. Seemed really lanky. You know how like a two-year-old deer, three-year-old deer is like it's just all legs. That's what immature bears like. All my bear knowledge I have. A small bear but a bear. But I had to walk over there and take a look just to be like ah he's gonna go kill it now. I was like trying to figure out a way to get across. I was thinking uh I'm gonna get over there and think about it and take a look at him but he's in a real he's real killable. He's just not real big. I better get back up and find Cody before starts to break. It starts to get a little bit dusky and he's out here alone. Made it to the beach and got pretty sketchy at times. Slippy rainforest Alaska. Day two. This is our first full day. Boys are getting dropped off right now. We got three groups. Yeah beautiful weather. Today's a good day. We're all pretty stoked. We're getting a big day today. It's uh like 10 a.m right now and we'll probably go all the way to midnight if it takes that much. So we've got sandwiches, we've got snacks, we've got water. It's gonna be a bender today but I'm excited. I'm over here working pins on our map trails. Like just got here he's like bear bear. Didn't really, might have been a little bit more than a hike than we thought to get to where we wanted to go. So we're heading back. Oh my man. That's a good one. Thanks dude. That's so awesome. Yeah pop it out of there. Oh dang. But the wind was just so squirrely. We got as far as we could get and if we dropped off that point that we were on, we would have lost him like. Ready for a windy boat ride. Gonna be brutal here for a second. Nestled up somewhere and get underneath a tree. It's soaking wet. We're soaking wet already. Yeah I'm wondering. I think yesterday we were a little too aggressive on some of them. Kind of blew it out. So we're gonna just sit back today. It's going this way and this way and this way. We're gonna work up this edge still a little bit more. Hopefully be able to see back in there and then maybe our wind will even be better. Kind of go up that chute a little bit more. Snow bears. It's getting dark. It's rained the entire time. We're pretty soaked. So time to go to the boat and get a pickup. Get a little fishing in. Don't fall in please. That's a lot. That was brutal. That was nuts. That was a lot of fun. We caught a pile of, are they rockfish? Rock bass? Rockfish. We're not gonna make but they're gonna make some pasta rockfish for us tonight with what we literally just caught which is awesome. Go down there to that last good beach you can see within eyesight. That is the last safe beach from that ocean swell and then let the boys kick off and let Chris go do his thing. We're just gonna kind of bebop. We got like three miles that we can just walk. I think that's the best thing to do. I don't really know. Such an interesting terrain to go through. It's like rainforest mixed with ocean-ness, Probably got our wind and jumped up the tree real quick. 60 yards or so. Dang. This is part 10 series 2 volume 12 of packing up heading to another spot. Transition. Big buoy. What did that even hit? This entire place is a freaking pillow and of course it hits the one rock. What's that? Garrett you got a copy? Yo buddy. Hey I got you. That was a really good nature walk we had here. Lots of nature no bears. Bit of a predicament. We got to find a spot that they can actually pick us up now. They don't know where we are so we're gonna have to hopefully see the boat. Shine a light but without hiking probably 20 or 30 minutes that way or 20 or 30 minutes back around the way we came. They're gonna have to come in this little cove right here and it might be kind of tricky for them to see us so we're gonna go check it out. We'll get fires started if we can. What are we doing here? Trying not to dive naked and afraid out here. You know we're trying to get just some smoke going some fire going to hopefully for them to find us a little bit easier but all this stuff's so wet it's just taking taking some time. Hold on. Rodeo. Three hours until we gotta head back so got dropped off on this beach kind of on the way back to the mainland and kind of limited it's kind of a last ditch effort so we'll probably just get up here sit tight get a wind right sit wait grassy little grassy back in there so sure bears will be through at some point just hopefully they're through when we're sitting here. Let's sit here for a little bit. This is probably going to be the end just because we got let's see what time it is nine o'clock they said gotta pick us up at 10 to make it back in time. We're supposed to do a supposed to do a big cookout thing with the crew and everything kind of in celebration tonight we got just this one little cove we're clipped out over on this side so we can walk out when it's kind of been in it carry around a cigar now on big hunts like this we were talking about it last night I almost I almost cracked it out last night because I was thinking it was over and it's not a celebration cigar it's a it's a reflection cigar. Cigars take a long time they take a long time to you know smoke gotta really baby them give you time I guess just kind of fortunate about things this is cool that we're here right now you know even though we didn't kill one unless one walks by right here while we're sitting here waiting but I don't think that's possible or it may be possible.
