Lee Hart Trailer 16x9
In the rugged wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, legendary hunting guide and outfitter Lee Hart has dedicated his life to the pursuit of sheep. With 99 successful hunts under his belt (both as hunter and guide), Lee is just one away from an incredible milestone that would cement his legacy. His goal is nearly complete but, at 83 years old, time is running out.
Enter Tyler Johnerson, a lifelong hunter and devoted mentee and friend to Lee. When Tyler draws a coveted, once-in-a-lifetime sheep tag in Lee’s hunt unit, he seizes the opportunity to honor his mentor in a way that only a true friend can, and insists that Lee join him on this final, fateful hunt. Together, they embark on a journey filled with breathtaking landscapes, heart-pounding adventure, and the indomitable spirit of the hunt.
Amidst ups and downs, close calls and setbacks, Tyler's unwavering determination to honor Lee drives him forward. The climax builds to a thrilling moment, where Tyler takes the shot that could secure Lee’s legacy.
100 Rams: This One’s For Lee is more than just a hunting story; it's a testament to friendship, mentorship, and the unyielding pursuit of a lifelong dream."

      Haha yea you don’t know me but they were huge in making this happen. My second sheep hunt ever it’s a different beast. My first was a solo had a 8year old at 50 yards and let them walk. But definitely needed the help. They are professionals and I learned so much. But I never quit. I have packed a moose myself completely but I’m so blessed and so fortunate. lol I would have shot it at 800yards if I had a chance at that again. Judging rams is also a skill that takes time years of practice and patience. Adam and Derek are studs. No reason to hate though lol 😆

    I lost all respect for the Boone and Crockett club when they themselves confirmed desert sheep from Rancha La Guarida in Mexico are allowed entry into their record books. I asked Jose, the owner about this, and he said he must donate a sheep hunt annually in exchange for his sheep to be eligible for entry. This ranch is high fenced. Their "fair chase" principals are easily bought, apparently.

  • @calf6349
    @calf6349 Před 5 měsíci

    the auctions for the conservation tags are extremely important to raise a lot of money in a microcosm of time. I will never be able to bid on any of the tags when they sell for $600 K. The North American model affords opportunity to everyone who wants to hunt. This opportunity can be archived through raffles. Raffles allow anyone with limited means the ability to purchase a ticket in hopes of winning a hunt. If both auctions and raffles are conducted at the same time, in my mind, there is no question of violating the North American Model.

    This is a great video and true testament to ethical sportsmanship and integrity! However, it starts up like a trophy hunt and perhaps loosing interest to a non hunter! The values conveyed towards the middle and end of this video may have been better suited up front, to captivate the general public early in the film? As a hunter, this preaches to the converted. But some hunters may waiver in their ethics if an over mature specimen was not in the population. As guides, it must be very hard to have a client go home empty handed, or not have that wonderful culmination experience of tasting the fruit of the labour, up on the mountainside, after all the time, effort and expense? Some clients may choose to take a prime breeder, if a monarch was not in the cards? A tough decision for both involved!

    Never felt any interest to enter any of my whitetails into Pope and Young or Boone and Crockett. They are my trophies and I am not interested in being in any books. That’s not why I hunt. But that is just for me. I am not telling anyone else what they should or should not do

    • @jasonmatzingerofficial
      @jasonmatzingerofficial Před 5 měsíci

      Fair enough! It shouldn't be why anyone does it in my opinion. However the records keeping system is the most highly regarded collection of data points ever assembled proving that hunting is working as a valuable conservation tool. It is nice to see the trends in wildlife around North America. That being said, congrats on your whitetails and best of luck out there this season!
