“Given 3 out of 4 paws by Bear Hunting Magazine.“

“This is not your ordinary bear hunting video packed with guided hunts, though there is footage from some hunts included. This is more of an informational guide on many aspects of bear hunting that includes footage of what is being described. The Hunting Tipster made this video, and wrote a companion book that is also included, because he became addicted to bear hunting and wanted to share helpful information with others, both beginners and avid bear hunters looking for more information.The DVD has three parts; Instructional Version (aprox. 50 min.), Entertainment Version (aprox. 17 min.) and Bonus (aprox 20 min.). We believe there is more information for a bear hunter in this DVD than any other we have reviewed in 10 years. Though much of it is the basics, and we often need to be reminded of it, Justin goes further, and we were happy he included showing the field dressing and skinning of a bear, something many bear hunters want, and need, to know.Much of Justin’s own experience is from do-it-yourself spot and stalk hunts in British Columbia and he incorporates baiting information from another experienced bear hunter. Scouting, field judging, gear selection, photo tips, scoring, skull cleaning, shot placement and some hunting stories are also included. Justin narrates much of the video and you can look up information he talks about in the book easily.This may not be a professional, cool graphics added, production from a well-known hunting show host, but it was put together with thought and the quality information that many bear hunters are looking for. We liked this video and gave it 3 paws.”

“With what I learned from your book and your DVD, I was able to successfully take my 1st black bear.”

“I wanted to personally say thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences on black bear hunting. I bought your book, The Black 

Bear Hunting Encyclopedia, and your DVD just a couple of weeks ago prior to my black bear hunt. I found they were excellent sources of solid information and your teaching style was wonderful. As a whitetail deer hunter, I did not know anything about hunting black bear. With what I learned from your book and your DVD, I was able to successfully take my 1st black bear. I found that your book was a quick and interesting read and to the point; exactly what I needed to learn more about my upcoming my hunt. And the DVD helped visualize it and really helped with skinning among other things. I want to share with you an incredible hunt I had this last Saturday on an early Spring Bear hunt.

We headed out of Whittier, Alaska into Prince William Sound in a boat and took a smaller inflatable raft with attached oars to get to shore. As we were cruising the shorelines, I spotted him with binoculars from the boat from about a mile away ahead of us. He was walking and grazing on Skunk Cabbage stalks along the wet areas down a long gravel beach. We let the boat idle in closer to shore and hopped off and paddled the inflatable about 300 yards to shore. (In Alaska, we can’t shoot from a boat) After beaching the inflatable, I stalked about 1000 yards with the wind in my face at about 11 o’clock carrying my scent downwind. There were several small waterfalls along they way that covered the sound of my footsteps. I found it was much quieter to walk in the tiny gravel than to step on the larger stones. The adjacent brush was too dense to get through. The curve of the beach was such that I had cover behind me to break up my silhouette. He never saw me coming. I ended up about 30 yards from where I last saw him stepping into the brush beneath a large tree. As I was scouring the shade of the tree and brush, he bolted straight up the mountain in an avalanche clearing. I got a bead on him just hoping he’d stop and give me a clean shot when he did just that and quartered away then looked back at me. Prior to this moment, I had not seen him closer than about 1100 yards and that was from the rocking raft so I was unsure of the quality of this bear. Now, I could then clearly see he was a mature black bear because of his lumbering gait and his big round head with his small ears way over on either side of his head. I had just a moment to still my standing free-handed shot at about 100 yards so I gently squeezed the trigger on my Remington Model 700 AWR (Alaskan Wilderness Rifle) as the .338 Ultra-Mag went off with a deafening wallop then silence. Amazing how much less the kick is when your adrenaline is flowing, isn’t it? The bullet struck his right side quartering away; from back right out through his front left side. He went down hard, snarling and showing his teeth and snapping at whatever that was burning in his side. He started rolling back down the steep mountain towards me about 15 yards or so then looked up and right at me. He knew exactly were I was and that I was responsible for his demise. I found first hand that they are indeed tough beasts. I didn’t want to ruin a hide or have him take off and most importantly I didn’t want him to take out his new found aggressions on me. So, I quickly put the cross-hairs just below his muzzle in the edge of the grass and let another bullet fly through the tips of the brush into his chest. It was an incredibly great and memorable hunt.

Again thank you Justin for sharing your black bear experiences as they were, no doubt, instrumental in my bear hunting success.”

“… has left nothing out and he tells it all..”

“The Black Bear Hunting Encyclopedia is just that; an encyclopedia, covering everything worth knowing about black bears and bear hunting,

richly illustrated with photos, lists and charts. The Hunting Tipster has left nothing out and he tells it all in an easy to understand language using professional or hunter jargon only where it is absolutely necessary….If you have been thinking of taking up black bear hunting or have not quite had the success you wish then you need to read The Hunting Tipster’s “The Black Bear Hunting Encyclopedia”. …I am going to apply some of the things I learned from the book in this years spring bear hunting season and I am convinced it will get me a few giant steps closer to a black bear rug for our living room floor and some fresh organic bear meat in the freezer.”

“…you can tell that his knowledge of hunting and woodcraft is solid.”

“…a hunter who has never hunted black bears, hunted black bear in Canada or used all types of legal forms of techniques for bear, will benefit from watching this video. You’ll also see what types of firearms and archery equipment Justin and his friends use to go after black bear in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Saskatchewan.”

“I just wanted to say thanks for putting out an informative DVD…”

“This is my first year hunting and I tagged my first bear yesterday. Your DVD was really helpful to find where to look for bears and what to do after the kill.”

“Without The Hunting Tipster’s information I would have been lost..”

“The Hunting Tipster’s information helped me find and bag my first black bear. Without this hunting information I would have been lost. I was just starting hunting and he helped me with choosing the proper rifle caliber, bullet, bow, arrows, gear, and clothing. I also learned how to tackle the daunting task of skinning the hide, gutting, and spot and stalk hunting techniques from him. Thanks again for all the advice on bear hunting.”

“The Black Bear Hunting Encyclopedia shows the complete story…”

“The Hunting Tipster has drastically helped develop my black bear hunting techniques with his scouting and field care advice. His hands on approach to field care was very helpful and it is hard to find good advice these days. Usually hunting videos just show the stalk and the kill but The Black Bear Hunting Encyclopedia shows the complete story from preparing for the hunt, to the important after the kill field care practices. I have enjoyed reading the book and watching the video.”

“His interest and enthusiasm in the sport really shine through with the detail and comprehensive explanations …”

“The Hunting Tipster has shown an ability to consistently harvest black bears, he is the best black bear hunter I know. I was very surprised and impressed when he took his hunting party up north and in one day each of the four hunters bagged their quarry. I thought that was fantastic, and believe that new and experienced bear hunters can learn as well as entertained through The Black Bear Hunting Encyclopedia book and DVD. I thought it was a very well put together production and believe all hunters should appreciate it. I really enjoyed the Black Bear hunting video and manual. His interest and enthusiasm in the sport really shines through with the detail and comprehensive explanations that can introduce the novice, or add knowledge to the seasoned hunting veteran.

“The Hunting Tipster’s video was extremely helpful to refer back to…”

“The Hunting Tipster’s video was extremely helpful to refer back to during the process in which I cleaned my bear skulls. I would definitely recommend it to people who want to do their own bear skulls, and have a lot of time to spare. Thanks a bunch Justin! I really appreciate it!”

“…When he took me out bear hunting, he showed me the secret bear hunting tips… “

“Without The Hunting Tipster’s help I would not have been able to capitalize on my first black bear. I went out hunting a few times after finishing my course and was not successful, but when he took me out bear hunting, he showed me the secret bear hunting tips and how to locate high producing areas and that led to my first big game animal, a black bear. Thanks”

“…He guaranteed that I would get a bear if I listened to him.”

“I found out where to locate black bear habitat and how to hunt them from him. Thank you Hunting Tipster  for your help in my success! I never thought I was going to be successful so quick in my hunting career, but he guaranteed that I would get a bear if I listened to him. I listened and followed his advice and before I new it, I had a black bear in my sights. All it took was one shot from 175 yards and my first big game animal was down.”

“I believe all levels of hunters can benefit from this black bear hunting DVD and book.”

“The Hunting Tipster has expanded my knowledge of choosing the right hunting gear, and the proper field care of my trophy animals. I started looking through his articles and found a lot of sound advice that provided me with necessary hunting knowledge and tools. I believe all levels of hunters can benefit from this black bear hunting DVD and book.”
