Here’s another spring hunting season video to keep the train rolling! I’m so stoked that I drew this tag. It’s bringing me into some areas that I haven’t stepped foot into for years. Last time I had the tag though, my strategy was mostly spot and stalk. This time, I’m mainly focusing on water sources. So my scouting throughout the pre-season is really just going to be about finding somewhat remote water sources that I can potentially ambush hunt a bear on. I’m not used to this, but trail cameras will be super helpful for this hunt. Not only do I just have to find a water source, but the water needs to be huntable. Meaning that there needs to be a spot for me to set up and wait for a thirsty bruin to come in.
On this scouting trip, I head down into an area that I heard about many years ago. A bear hunting mentor of mine(the guy that got me into it)told me about a certain spring that the bears seemed to like. He knew my love for bowhunting ran thick, and that this could be a great area to archery hunt. Since then, I’ve thought about this area, but just never made it down to it. Because of that, I was so psyched to finally go see the water mentioned in the legends! It did not disappoint in the least bit and looks very promising. I’ll be sure to post trail camera photos through here as the year progresses. With any luck, there will be some awesome Arizona Black Bears hitting the water sources I pick out. I know of one bear in particular that has a reddish gold coat in the area. A beautiful bear and one I’d happily wrap my tag on.
Thanks so much for watching! I really hope you’re enjoying these videos documenting my season. They sure are fun to put together! I’ve already got another one in the cooker where I bring a friend out that has never bear hunted before. He’s what you’d call a “deer guy.” Nonetheless, he’s interested in bear hunting this year, so I’m happy to bring him out and show him the ropes. If you like the video, I’d super appreciate if you’d SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and the blog to stay up to date with future videos! Until then though, be safe out there, and don’t worry. Hunting season will be here before we know it!
