Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...
Nature: Life in Stereo
As the beginning notes of Round Here made contact with my auricles, I was in heaven; I had forgotten how incredible my Bose earphones were.  I could hear every instrument in the song - the chords on the guitar; the intricate timing of the cymbals and snare; the keyboard quietly playing in the background.  It was as if I was experiencing the song for the first time, though I had heard it many tim...
First Show
The SimplyOutdoors' crew had a great time over the weekend - we got to converse with quite a few local Michigan residents, and we had a great time doing so.  It's always fun sharing stories with local hunters - and it was even fun talking with the non-hunters. We were definitely happy to see the weather hold out for us, too.  There was a chance of thunderstorms throughout the entire day, but,...

Bear Attack Video

Posted By: Arthur on February 23, 2009 in Videos - Comments: 8 Comments »

I had the opportunity to hang out with my brother and two of my cousins last weekend.  In the course of our conversations we started to talk about bear attacks.  I started to tell them about a bear attack I had seen on Easton’s Bowhunting TV, and found out that neither of them had seen the footage.  Because of that, I figured why not share that video here.

Easton Bowhunting TV Bear Attack

On YouTube’s site I noticed that it had been requested that this particular video not be embedded, so I decided to only share the link to the video here.  It is definitely worth a look, though, if you have the time.

I am not sure how I would have reacted to this particular situation.  I’m glad the crew’s quick thinking saved all lives involved, though, including the bear’s.  I would have hated to see those three cubs orphaned so young.

Please go check it out, and let us know what you think.  I think it is one of the best pieces of footage I have ever seen.  An amazing, amazing, video.

    I’ll bet those guys had to pull over and let the adrenaline wear off a bit. Eight feet and he was shooting in the water, he’s got more discipline then I would have. Thats eight feet from cashing in the chips.

    incredible footage… it does make a person wonder how you would react to a situation like that… the mamma bear with cubs is one situation I think every outdoorsman hopes to avoid… Gary has had several
    hair raising experiences with mother black bears that he’d just as soon not had! He now carries a side arm…

    Wow. Glad you posted this so I could finally see it. Amazing stuff.

  4. goes to show that you need to practice with your side arms before heading to the field. Without practicing drawing your side arm effectively there is no way someone could have done that so quick. Practice, practice, practice makes perfect. Good to see all got away safe including the bear. Thanks for posting the video.

    Wow.. That was pretty scary.. I’m glad they had good instincts tho.. That could have been a terrible situation.

  7. [...] was reading Arthur’s blog today, Simply Outdoors, and came across a stunning video.  The Easton team responded quickly and it ended good but the [...]
