BOZEMAN, Mont. (Ammoland.Com) – Sometimes a hunter can’t explain why he does some things – or not do some things like on this week’s Leupold’s Fresh Tracks with Randy Newberg. Newberg is in southeast Alaska in the Tongas Forest with good hunting buddy, Bart May, hunting black bears. They come across bears all right – but not necessarily in the manner in which they wish to see them.

The trip starts off much like Newberg’s last Alaskan trek – with trouble. Last time it was lost bags and camera equipment; this time it is a huge hole in the inflatable raft; their primary hunting craft. But the hunters don’t let that get them down and after securing a boat at as Native Village they are off glassing bears. Or at least trying to.
“This is my fifth trip to Alaska for bears and normally I see five or eight bears a day. We have seen one in three days. So I’m trying not to look worried for Bart, but he knows me well enough. We need to find bears,” said Newberg.
They eventually find a bear eating on a grassy knoll and Newberg sets up for the shot – but he doesn’t take it. He thought the bear was average-sized. The crew said differently. “I have no idea why I passed on that bear. But Bart said if he sees that bear again, he’s taking it,” stated Newberg.
And see it again is exactly what happens to the duo – except it happens in a way that puts Newberg in serious danger. Tune in to see what Newberg describes as the most hair-raising experience in all of his hunting.
