    Wow, the intro brought me to tears. My grandfather died from throat cancer. He died at home with me taking care of him including giving him moriphine the last few days. A few months before he died my uncle (his son), my grandfather, and I went to his favorite stream to camp and fish for a few days. He said that he would set up camp and told us to go fishing, that he would just fish near our campsite. I came back before my uncle to see papa relaxed and sleeping. I don't know if he did any fishing that week, but I know he enjoyed it. He always said he felt closer to God among the pine trees more than he ever did in a church.

Mine was 45 when i was born. He was a hunter all his life until getting injured around the time i was born, so he never got to take me out except one short time in a blind. He has spoken fondly of his time spent in the woods and your episodes helped reawaken that passion he had for hunting. I have learned a lot myself from watching these episodes.

    At one time many many years ago, Native Americans from several nations covered these lands. When I see these beautiful mountains and lands, I imagine what life was like for them. The freedom that they enjoyed. A lifestyle like no one has enjoyed after them. It is still peaceful and has wildlife with no development in this area of the state. Enjoy this Steve. If a man has his way one day it may be developed and gone forever. I lost my dad when I was 4 and never raised around a man who could teach me about the outdoors. Now, due to my broken body from an accident, it is too late for me. But I can enjoy nature through folks like yourself.

Took one deer in Germany but never got one where we lived. I did it with his rifle. Everytime I look at it I remember Pepre who fought in WW2, came home and did a factory job for 40 yrs, his vacation was 2 Weeks of deer season. Never got a deer but didn't much care. It was the hunt and time alone in the woods that mattered.

    I know this is a little bit older video. But this is the one I needed to see. Rethinking alot of my life! Great job!

  • @coondogsoutdooradventures2484

    This is the best episode I have seen. Nothing like spending a week or more alone in the wilderness. You experience the peace that modern life can't give you. I totally understand feeling satisfied with nothing to show for it. Like a Hunting dog , or your cat. Hunting is part of what we are. After years of Hunting, the satisfaction of Hunting is greater than the harvest. Because after the shot is taken, the hunt is over.

    I think the only thing worse than losing your father is never having one... Happy fathers day Steve.

    Hard to put all those feelings into words....well done!I lost my dad to cancer,we did not see eye to eye so to speak,but our time while out hunting and fishing together we were always able to come together and enjoy each other’s company.
    Steve you are not only a wealth of honest information but a real person to boot.
    Thanks for all the hard work.

    My daughters turned me on to your channel. Age 6, 10 and 14. I am so glad they did. Early Father’s Day gift.
    They know my respect for animals. Due to my work, business, hobbies and personality.

    Man, my dad went by bad lung cancer the same way. Six months when we caught it. He wanted me to take him for some drives.
    Man I feel so much for you.
    When they go it seems like the bad fades away and you just remember the good.

    Just discovered you channel in the last week or so, one of the best if not, the best hunting channel I watch. It’s not just about hunting an animal, the respect you give to hunting and the animal makes your channel special. It’s not about the size of the antlers. You also show us how to cook, travel places I would probably never go to in my life. It’s not just about killing an animal.

    Awesome episode, I can relate to a lot of what you said about hunting passed down from father to son . One thing I love more than anything about hunting is the wind blowing through the pines. I’d like to thank my dad for teaching me how to be a outdoorsman I love you dad Rest In Peace -Jeremy

    I can't explain how much this resonates with me growing up. I'm a very emotional guy, I've always hunted with these conflicting emotions, taking a life for different reasons is something we have to decide but the memories and lessons in those decisions are what embodies who we are as a person. Very well articulated this episode.
