ABOUT US

We'll be sharing photos, video's and drone footage from our adventures together & look forward to bringing it to you - even making some of our best captures available for purchase as stunning Wall Art!!!

It will be raw, wild & unscripted. Especially when it comes to kids ... you never know on any given day what's gunna happen!

Feel the fun as our 8 year old son catches reef fish, in deep water, for sh*ts & giggles, on a whiting rig!!

Watch our 11 year old daughter overcome serious anxiety; find her way into the boat and flick a line ... only to catch the fishing bug as she lands her 1st fish!

Other days, you can catch the Big Man himself as he walks you through everything to do with safe firearm handling, unboxing new guns, firing on the range & more.

Here's a quick intro on us!

Bear .... he's the Big Man behind Wild Bear & Co.

Nik & the kids are the Co. LOL!

Bear loves fishing, hunting, firearms, 4WD'ing, cars & all things man-cave.

In a former life, Bear was a mechanic for Holden, has renovated one of the family homes, is proficient in his knowledge across hunting, all things firearms and safe weapons handling & dreams of doing up an ol' Torana.

Bear married Nik in 2009 & together, they have 2 kids; 11 yr old Bella and 8 yr old Jack.

They also have 2 fur kids - German Shepherd, Kali & a cat, Gypsy.

Kali will star in a video in the not too distant future. Should hell freeze over & Gypsy finds her way onto the water, you can guarantee - if it happens, we'll bring it to you!

Nik, is the owner & photographer behind Wild Heart Photography Hervey Bay and Wild Heart Boudoir.  She is known as Hervey Bay's empowering boudoir photographer & has returned to shooting after a near fatal pulmonary embolism. 

Nik will be onboard for most of our fishing trips and take care of the video & photography content.

She has lived through spinal surgery, a nasty pulmonary embolism in her lung, a genetic blood clot disorder, heart damage after 11 x bouts of Pericarditis & Myocarditis and survived a horrific sexual assault ... coming out stronger and more empowered than ever before. 

Nik & Bear have a new arsenal to their gear, in the way of a DJI Mavic Drone for the most incredible aerial imagery, as well as 2 x GoPro's ready to take you underwater! No matter what footage we capture, if there is a cracker in there, rest assured, you'll be given the option to buy it and put up on your own walls!

Nik loves family, music, the beach, fishing, hunting, firearms and Bruce Springsteen.

Our 11 year old daughter Bella is a wild spirited girl!

She loves her family, the beach, music and her cat, Gypsy.

She is strong, loving and has a giggle that will melt your heart.

She endured a horrific assault as a child at school - developing crippling anxiety along the way. She has also grown up watching her little brother Jack have seizures & been with us for his many hospital admissions.

Through it all, she has developed a deep "wild bear" strength inside her and forged a love of music. Her family have no doubt, that one day, she'll find her way up in lights - singing and dancing & sharing her light with the world!

Our 8 year old son Jack is a sensitive soul, cheeky as ever and loves his German Shepherd, Kali - after the recent loss of our German Shepherd, Evie.

Our sassy little dude has epilepsy. His first seizure hit us hard when he was only 6 months old. A recent neurology update revealed Jack is one of only 17 in the world with a rare gene change with a very rough prognosis. His seizures are scary as hell ... the fear surrounding them, meaning we have lived a fairly conservative life, in the hopes of keeping him safe.

But let's be real - living a life in fear, is no life at all.

So f**k it ... we're going out chasing it all & we're making up for lost time. 

Stay tuned while we get our website, email address, You Tube channel and Instagram accounts finalised - including a lazy bear start up to our very own merch line! Yeah yeah - there's a bear in there!

Thanks for being here and we'll catch you soon!

Bear & Nik
