A Newfoundland Bear Hunt

Are you using some kind of steady-cam for these videos? Excellent camera work, and I like the documentary style of narration. These are very high quality videos!

@ArtemiaSalina ..just the optical image stabilization of the cam and the closest rock i can find to lean on :-)

I may sound sily, but I didn't know Newfoundland had the black bears. Someone once told me that the moose did really well once introduced because there was no bears or wolves to stop them Guess he was wrong do you know what kind of numbers they range in on the rock?

@GospelFisherman The moose did really well because it was perfect moose country,they had no other competition for food...the Bear population is estimated at 6-10000 animals In Newfoundland and labrador....another interesting fact The Newfoundland Black bear is Generally bigger than its mainland relatives, ranging in size from 90 to 270 kg and averaging 135 kg.....watch my "Black bear flyby in cessna 150" vid to see a very big one on the run.

@GospelFisherman Check out Gros Morne National Park on the west coast if you do almost a crime to come to the Rock without doing so :-)
