Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years Iā€™ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion ā€“ the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me ā€“ from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpaā€™s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, Iā€™ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but Iā€™ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And thatā€™s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

That man has great, intense eyes.The right disposition for a bear guide. More danger in surviving 45 years of flying in Alaska, than in dealing with bears.

I just love Ron's face when listening to the story - like a little boy listening to his grandpa or uncle. Which tells me that no matter how experienced one gets, it never gets old or boring.

Shot placement is EVERYTHING! If you actually listen to what he says, and most people with the experience and knowledge will say the same thing

"It's easier to feel brave when you've got a gun". Truer worlds were seldom spoken.

Nothing beats first hand experience. Books and videos have their place for learning, but I'd take a lifetime of experience over that any day. The shame is guys like him, with a lifetime of experience, aren't around forever.

I used to interact with Phil on one of the online outdoor forums. Great guy. Extremely knowledgeable. No tolerance for nonsense. Openly stated what works, and therefore what he recommends. I always appreciated his philosophy that way.

Outstanding! Hunted with Phil 35 years ago. Glad to see heā€™s still at it and really looking about the same.

Its refreshing to hear someone talk about the "old calibers" Makes me laugh when Elk guys say a .270 isnt a great elk cartridge and here his clients have killed brown bears with them. This guy is the real deal and has the proof to back it up.

Itā€™s really good to hear common sense about cartridges that make senseā€¦.30.06 is still KINGā€¦no super magnum needed. Great interview

I was reluctant to share but thought others might be interested. We see the lesser and greater bears occasionally along with big cats and dogs. My wife and I run around our remote NW Montana yard with our 9's and Rimrock 147 gr hardcast handloads. When we venture into unfamiliar territory around here we carry heavy 357 magnum loads with Montana Bullet Works 180 grain NOE hanloads. Our selections are based on Phil's advice from old Handloader magazine articles I read. We shoot more often staying with these cartridges. Great interview. It doesn't get any better than this Wow, thank you!

If you can't shoot it it won't protect you. So refreshing to listen to his logic. He knows his shit.

Love this conversation. I have Black Bear hunted never Grizzly. Have had a couple of encounters them but not hunted. BC Government has banned the hunt. Stupid decision. Problems for humans coming down the pipe from this decision. At my age 71 , after 52 years of hunting itā€™s just a dream. Videos like this just make me smile and dream. Thanks for the video. šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘šŸ¼
