        I had the opportunity to hunt black bear in Western Maryland this year. It has taken me four years to draw a permit with our lottery system. Here in Maryland it is a 100% fair chase hunt, we are not allowed to use bait or lures of any kind. So I was hunting natural food with a tree stand over a natural passage way. Hope you guys enjoy the video . . .

          Great video, Chris. Always fun to see your work, and I see much improvement. I half expected to see pink fletching go after that squirrel!

            Nice work Chris. I love the variable focus shots that pick out different details and colours as the focus changes.

              Thanks guys 🙂

              Robin I didn’t shoot at that guy particularly . . . but I did actually loose quite a few at various other squirrels during the duration of those four days 😀

                Great video. Although I don’t hunt bear (personal) I agree with our DNR season to control the population. Where are you in MD ? I live in Garrett county. Perhaps we can link for some bow shooting. But if you have a chain saw and time I could use free help to clear trails.:D

                  We were hunting a little property right on Deep Creek. I could see the lake from my stand. I live in Washington county though. We always hunt out your way because there are less people:P I love running a chain saw

                    less people is why I’m here. More animals. check my profile for e-mail and phone number. Are there anymore trad. hunters in MD? Give me a call. But will be a week or so before can hunt again got lots of trail to clear for the business. Free help I buy the gas, provide room and board, and you the work. If your serious e-mail can use all the help I can get and best if it’s someone who thinks like me. Time to check on the dogs more when you respond.

                          I enjoyed your vid! I now tell my hunting bud when I come back that “I heard the guitars ” or ” no guitars” in reference to seeing anything from hunting video soundtracks:D
