All our long range practice paid off on our first bear hunt of the year.. Not bragging on the 520 yards..Just with all the time,effort and practice put in ,it was nice to see it all come together.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fLJLaal3Fs&feature=youtu.be

Tremendous video and great hunt execution.
Couple questions:
1) Any idea what the chopper spraying/reason?
2) Is this the coastal range?

I was wondering that too, looks like the areas sprayed had young pines planted.

I'd be tickled to shoot a bear like that next month. Congrats!

16bore, I couldn't make it past the muzzle sweep..... I hate to appear unsophisticated, but I didn't see "muzzle sweep". Could you tell me what minute it was in?

If you had watched on,you could clearly hear a round being chambered just seconds before the shot,long after the bear was spotted.. I had walked back with the camera,so you could say that was my fault.. We do hunt with one in the chamber,but only when alone.. Film critics...
