Black Bear Spot and Stalk How-to with Kevin Kossowan

John Schneider's Wild Life

Inspired by an Instagram message from Jillian, I got on the phone with Kevin and we recorded some thoughts on our decade-long tradition of spotting and stalking bears.

We go over the how-to's and when-to's of bear hunting as we have grown to know them over the years. What to look for as far as sign and feed are concerned. This will cover bear hunting in the northern boreal forests and similar areas.

There is a lot of information here. I hope that we've given folks a few things to ponder if they're interested in bears and bear hunting. We also go over a few ideas on bear meat as a wild food ingredient. Bear meat is definitely a favourite in our kitchens!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Kevin Kossowan, he is the creator of the award-winning wild food web series, From The Wild. Episodes are available for purchase on his website for $3.35 each CAD! You can also purchase the entire season(s), there are nine of them.
