Even though there isn’t an awesome kill scene at the end, you should watch this video. It just might make you feel better the next time you miss. It happens to all of us eventually. In fact, it’s happened to me more times than I care to admit. Oh well, you live you learn right?
This hunting video was taken with my Camera Mount, a cool little gadget from Insane Archery that mounts my video camera directly to my bow.
It works great and comes highly recommended. ~Cory Glauner
“I have a confession to make… when I’m bowhunting, every once in a while I miss. I know that’s hard to believe, but I did get it on video for you doubters. Last weekend while archery elk hunting in Idaho and I spotted this color phase black bear and even though I wasn’t technically on a black bear hunt, I couldn’t resist a chance to mix up my bowhunting, so I made a great spot and stalk (well, actually I just ambushed him) to within 15 yards, and then I went and missed…. shot right under him. It was pathetic. I am ashamed. I do have an excuse though (I know, I know, doesn’t everybody). The bottom limb of my bow hit a rock when I shot which caused me to shoot low… D’oh!
I just about redeemed myself though because the bear went up into some rocks and stopped. This time I actually did make a great spot and stalk (if I must say so myself) to within five yards… but when I drew back my bow I could only see his head. That wasn’t going to work, then the wind swirled and… you know what happened next… back to archery elk hunting (which ain’t that bad). That’s what make bowhunting so much fun.”
If you are new to bowhunting (or even if you’re an old pro) and want a good, easy spot and stalk experience, you should give a black bear hunt a try. They’re a ton of fun.
