  • Three hunters journey to the Arctic slope of Alaska’s Brooks Range Mountains in search of a challenge, a measure of danger, and an outcome unknown. The wolves, wolverines, moose, herds of caribou, and a marauding grizzly bear satisfied their primal urge to explore such a desolate wilderness and changed their lives forever.

    I’m a 73yr old great gramma. I am proud to tell you that instead of watching movies at the end of my day, I watch your videos. You draw me in with your stories and your faith. I find myself captured by the hunts every step of the way, no matter what you are hunting. You have helped me understand what true hunting is, the reason for it. You’re not out there just to kill something. Thank you Billy. Thank you for being the man that you are.

    I would have loved to have shared a hunt with my Dad. My Grandfather was a hunter and deep sea fisherman, but my Dad never made time for hobbies of his own. Having lived through the depression my Dad was always worried about it happening again so he worked several jobs and saved everything he could. He would take a week or two for vacation trips with my Mom, but never took the time away from for anything you would consider a hobby. He passed six years ago at 91 years old. This hunt with your Dad and his friend is truly special and I'm sure you count yourself a blessed man for having been given this gift. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

    I truly enjoy your videos. This one really got to me. 2016 was the last year I got to hunt with my dad. He still goes to camp with me but his vision is gone now. He did something that last trip I never thought I would see him do. For the first time in all of his years of hunting he passed on shooting a legal buck. I sat next to him as that deer walked out onto the old skid road and passed within 50 yards of him. I watched my dad raise the gun to his shoulder, push the safety off when the buck stopped directly in front of him and waited for the shot. My dad slowly put the gun down and told the deer to keep moving. A day I'll never forget.

    I've watched this video 4 times and still it lifts my spirit . I was the first born son so I got the best years my dad had to give . My dad loved hunting almost as much as he loved working . He taught me the art of hunting and tracking . Being an old Marine he prided himself on head shots and no wasted meat . I'm 70 now and all I have are my memories . I have felt closest to my God and Savior Jesus Christ while hunting . I'm happy for you that you got this valuable opportunity with your dad and friend while all alive . God bless Billy .

This one has been one of my favorites that I have re-watched many of times and it ALWAY'S has me laughing so so hard when he wakes them up saying, "bear-bear" if only I could have been in camp with the three of them that week. Talk about some laughs.

    Billy i just found your hunts on here a few wks ago. And watching your videos is about all ive done in these last few wks.
    You see i lived in Alaska with my family my self for 14 yrs. My father which brought us all to Ak.stayed many yrs after myself.
    I got married and moved back down to the lower 48.
    My pa was the first that took me deer hunting
    That was when i was young i dont remember my age but it was in Wisconsin because i was born in Burlington Racine.
    Anyway don't mean to go on. Just want to say I'll be 59 yrs old in less than two moths and I am alone now as my hole family has went on to meet up with god my loving wife of close to 30 yrs included.as her and my Dad passed in 2012. Both my younger brother aand my mom. All gone. So it's just me watching you now pilgrim. I very much enjoy all your video's keep them coming but remember one thing my friend there is only so much time we have marked for our family. Spend it with them as much as you can because its the only golden time we have on this earth.
    I hope I made since in this message to you.
    Your my new hero on earth. I love watching your hunts..
    Lord be with you and yours
    Be safe and skin that griz. pilgim and get ya another one. Peace be yours.
    Sincerely
    Your friend Fabian.
    P. S. I also grow up milking cows and working with cattle.

    I love it when you remain aware of your hunter's position and where the end of his barrel in pointed, so that you can remind him not to point it in any direction other than the one in which he's going to shoot. I ALSO respect the way you gently reminded him to keep the end of the barrel pointed down range. I know he is your Father but I'm betting you would do it the same way for any hunter OTHER than your Dad.

    I lost my long time best friend and Father a couple years ago to lung cancer. We shared many days in the outdoors bird hunting and fishing and I will always remember each one. I still find myself talking to him when I feel his presence among my outdoor experiences. I’m 53 now and feel my body telling me no from years of farm work and 21 years in Refuse Hauling, but I do my best.

    That's outstanding. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. It makes great binging when your dying to hunt. I'd like to do it one day.
