"if you're wondering if this is thrilling, and at times unsettling" ---- Bear blinks at 15:05. Ha

I have to say, as much as love hunting and fishing vids, the conservation ones really mean a lot. This is the stuff that really matters. Great work guys.

[jamesburrell]

Well, there’s a couple bears that are going to be telling their buddies about alien abductions.

[gregglouis]

Cal is the best. Him and Janis aka “the Latvian eagle” need their own shows too. You boys are just as fun to watch as Steve.

[conner]

This may be the best thing meateater has ever produced. Amazing work. More bears, more cal

[Eric-gikg]

The frontal picture of that last bear while in the cage...was breath taking. What an absolute magnificent animal.
His claws looked to be 4-5 inches.
Impressive

This was one of the better MeatEater videos I've watched. Cal is one of the most intelligent outdoorsman I've heard speak in my life.

[michaelevans]

This video is so much more important than 99.5% of conservationist YouTube vids I’ve ever seen. Even people who don’t concern themselves with the outdoors should see this. Great job! Cal and the rest of the Meateater crew are the best thing to happen to conservationists since Teddy Roosevelt.

Hahaha I gotta kick outta the last bear lol turning around telling the trap “phukk u very much!” Before taking off lol that was hysterical lol

[doughaga]

Doing that would be one of the highlights of most people's life. It has to be a thrill being as close as these people get to one of the greatest living things on Earth. These people do a great service to wildlife.

It is amazing how we know these animals are dangerous, however we take care of them. Thanks Cal and Meat Eater for always having these amazing productions to help us see conservation at its best. Thank you again!

[andrewolson]

Anyone else see the bear start to wake up at 15:00? While Cal was in the trap with him... that would spook you pretty good

[HarryManback]

The music and the way this was filmed was incredible. Easily the best thing I've ever seen from Meateater.

[ethang]

This is just so damn wholesome and good. This is what the world needs more of.

Just got a phone call from our son, “ Matt Pickelsimer”, in NC. He discovered the video early this AM before work. We are proud to see Jeremy Nicholson appearing on this, “Meat Eater”, “Cals Week in Review”, episode. Jeremy is a local to Fannin County, GA! We are very excited for him! Great Job Jeremy! Congratulations on your success! Hello, from all of us!

[polarisoutdoors]

I really like the direction this channel is going. Sets yourself apart from the rest of the hunting channels

[thisisahmed]

The 2nd bear was pissed at the trap when he got out 😂

[nickmcgarvey]

I'm a born and raised Idahoan and IDFG is one of the very few, if not the only government agency I respect and who's work I admire and support.

[zach.jones]

I enjoy these “Cal in the Field” episodes as much or more than the actually MeatEater show!

[Fat--]

I love seeing stuff filmed so close to home. I also hate it, draws so many people into our hidden gems. With that said, what Meateater, Steve and Cal do for the sport/livelihood of hunting, is simply profound and incredible.
