Paddy_SP Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Agreed - didn't like the red hat though - too conspicuous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yes,image isn't everything,but it's well used here. As it ends,almost any suitable calibre rifle would do..too corny perhaps to have the old/heavy Finn bear model. If Poldark can get his kit off,to good effect (so I am advised),why not 'real' alpha males? Now the red hat is interesting-grizzly bear eyesight is not well studied scientifically. I've heard 'ethologists' speculate it would help find ripe berries (not the french style berets) and pandas fresh green bamboo shoots...hmmm,maybe....Bears eyesight is colour sensitive,and probably rather good.... Yupik Eskimoes apparently advise against wearing bright coloured clothing.Tom Smith (Alaska Kalmai National Park) reduced unwanted raids on camp sites by using cammo tents,rather than the usual yellow and blue (for rescue spotting). The video end was a bit 'cliff hanger' - just tastefully discreet, or just tasty-did the bear get the camera,the hat and the hunter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 It all seemed a bit odd, despite the excellent filming. going out without binoculars how he carried his rifle no muzzle cover or protection all the new gear Presumably the Producer made these decisions based on his experience.

I wouldn't trust the experts as far as I could throw them! According to them, deer can't see red light. And yet, on a couple of permissions near here they clearly can - I can watch them with the thermal or NV for as long as I want. Switch the infra red illuminator on, however, and they're over the horizon before you can draw breath. Sadly, I take that to mean that someone has been lamping them with a red light...

triggersqueezer Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 that bear was too impressive to shoot but i suppose all that with a rabbit at the end would not have been dramatic enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 You need some anti poaching advice I feel. The poaching is not happening on 'my' land though, so no matter what I did there, it'd continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always true, i have roe that are sensitive to IR but dont react to a lamp in any way whatsoever. 99% sure they havent been shot at as i know deer and numbers very well. Antlered bucks seem to be the most sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v-max Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yes it's a good advert but agree with off-road gary the blaser advert with the stag roaring & getting shot is really well done to me. I'm not a blaser owner etc but do rate there advert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bewsh Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I personally would want a shed load more than a 30-06 for a bear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtyvoats Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Both good films. But this is ad-land, so you can have any ending you like. The Sako man let the Bear go out of respect for it's feral power. The Blaser man was not able to shoot the stag as the sun reflecting off the shiny "professional success" strip on the stock scared it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
