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.
Me too, 67 yr old grandma, and I am hooked.
I am a 37 year old father of two, but we all enjoy Billy’s videos. I bet you two are awesome grandmas!
@@Drew-HillI TOO AM A GRANDMOTHER 72 YEÀRS OLD LOST MY BEAUTIFUL HUNTING AND FISHING HUSBAND 2 YEARS AGO SO BILLY YOU ARE AWSOME YOUR STORIES REMIND ME OF ALL THE STORIES I HEARD FROM GERARD AFTER A DAY HUNTING MARGARET LYNCH SOUTHERN IRELAND ❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤ WILL ALWAYS PRAY FOR YOUR SAFETY
Billy, you'll never second guess your decision to have Dad and his best friend come hunt with you. That by far was the best episode I've watched so far. Nothing to do with trophy animals, just the memories of you guys spending time together. Congratulations.
Billy, my good friend and hunting buddy passed away this winter from Covid . You stirred many a memory of hunts gone by . Thank you and am so happy you got to do this hunt .
Billy if I’m being honest, this brought me to tears. To read your book and watch your prior videos and now to see this video with your dad and close family friend, truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks for the comment and feedback. Much appreciated.
Me too
One of if not the best video I have ever watched on KZhead. Thank you Billy for the memories with your dad and your grand dad’s rifle.
it was my honor to go along on this hunt. thank you for sharing this. My niece just got a huge 11 point, My nephew sent me a text telling me how he passed on to her what I taught him. the generations carry the gift as the old ones like me fade away.
What an absolutely special hunt. Lifetime opportunity to hunt with your Dad and a family friend. How beautiful an adventure can a son give his father.Youre a lucky lucky man. These old guys are just living a dream.
Billy, you are so blessed to be able to have your dad and others there with you for this great hunt and general time.
I love that Lonesome Dove reference. Shows the comrade, priceless.
the ole Remington pump gettin' er done
The only wider smile on this day was the one on Grandpa's face when his son dropped a caribou with his old Savage 303. Great job guy's!!!
Billy...awesome memories!!!
Man that reminded me of my grandpa. Thanks Billy
By far the best hunting film I ever did watch, credit to ya Billy, showed nothing but respect to ya Dad, Mad dog the wilderness and all those beautiful animals. Well done to you all. I would love nothing more than to experience Alaska with you.
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.
WHAT A BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO HUNT WITH YOUR DAD AND THOSE THAT TAUGHT YOU! GOD IS GOOD!! IT IS THESE MEMORIES IN THE WILDERNESS THAT CEMENTS YOUR SOULS TO THE LAND! THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH A WONDERFUL AND PERSONAL HUNT WITH ALL OF US. KEEPING YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS!
What an Amazing Hunt Billy you hunting with your Dad and your Dad hunting with your Grandpa’s Savage made me cry and your family friend Maddog Augustus I couldn’t stop the tears a hunt to remember your Grandfather saw the whole hunt thank you so much for sharing this Amazing Hunt
Great! It’s not only about the hunting. It’s about life.
Absolutely one of the best hunting videos I have ever seen, seeing those two old hunting buddies head to Alaska and get the job done was just music for my heart. Oh and Lonesome Dove is one of my favorites, great job by all, i really enjoyed it. Thank you so so much for posting this.
If you want to see another awesome hunting video, go to John X Safaris and watch a Father with his two sons, hunting in South Africa. Here's the URL... kzhead.info/sun/gKiifNOGjoCMdYU/bejne.html
@@sldrckofages7200 Thank you, i will check it out.
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.
Awesome to see a couple of local guys, that I've known for as long as I can remember having the time of their lives!
Billy, thanks for allowing us to join you hunting with your dad and his friend. Truly enjoyed it. God Bless, Max
GOD bless a man with a good son..Mr molls thank you for taking me on the hunt with your dad and his best friend
Good story telling. The best scene is where both your dad and "Gus" in the tent and you shout "bear".
I loved this episode. I'm 76 and this brought me back to my early days of hunting with my dad ,his friends in the mountains of South western Montana. Great memories!!!
That was an awesome hunt with your Dad and his best friend ,trip of a lifetime ,and memories forever
It's wonderful that your dad and the other guy were able to get their caribou.
BILLY YOU ARE A DAMN GOOD MAN AND GUIDE.I KNOW THIS MUST MEAN ALOT TO YOU AND HAVING A MEMORY YOU WILL NEVER FORGET.I ABSOLUTELY LOVED WATCHING THE VIDEO WITH YOUR DAD AND MAD DOG.THEM TWO ARE TRUE CHARACTERS.
Lol! The end was the best!
Had to watch this one twice, about two months apart. Just love the history.
Loved this one! Making memories of a lifetime. Full Circle.
I've watched all of Billy's videos and this one is my favorite
Turtle Lake lol my dad grew up in Crandon, my grandfather worked as a missionary at Turtle Lake and Mole Lake area. What a small world. Love your Videos, God Bless You and Your Family! Its hard not to have faith when your in the woods!
That was a real enjoyable hunt. I think I’ve watched it four times.🧙🧙🧙👍👍🙏
That right there is what it's all about....family and friends!! Great capture Billy!! I imagine the sorest muscles were not from hiking and packing meat, but rather bellies from all the laughs and good times!! Love it....thanks for posting Billy.....morning coffee made!!
Thank you for your support! Billy
Thanks for taking us along. Tremendous storytelling and an experience that literally shapes your life.
That was the best hunt I’ve seen! Trip of a lifetime and I’m glad you were able to do it with them! It reminded me of the trip i made to Alaska with my brother and great friend. I was sad for you guys at the end because you had to leave. I watched and truly felt like I was right there with you.
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 .
Thank you for not adding in all that damn music. Really love the quiet natural sound in your videos. Please keep up the good work.
I still take grandpa's old guns out hunting once in a while just to remember him.
I grew up guiding and hunting in the back country, the woods... I too prefer it out there. Much more peaceful and you learn a lot, not just about yourself, but nature too.
There is so much to learn and so much humor left in the minds of seniors in America. I absolutely loved this video.
It was moving to see you honor your grandfather, your father and the Savage, and to see the hand of God move so clearly in the second hunt with such grace on behalf of you and your father was the best!
This is my favorite video of your's. I wish I could have videoed hunting and fishing outings with my dad. We lost him in 2008 to cancer. I love this video
Absolutely loved watching these two ole boys.Thank you 👍🇦🇺❤
Magnificent country. I’d love to get there some day. I think Billy has the best job in the world
That was the best episode I watched. You Billy,Your Dad and MadDog was so funny through the show and serious when should be. I really enjoy your shows Billy.
Very good it is like a good Film of Hunter !!! And funny too 👌🏻👍🏻🤩
Nothing like it being so quiet you can hear the camera. I'm addicted to the silence of the Brooks Range.
That’s the best hunt I’ve watched from you. I’d love to had a hunt like that with my Dad and his best friend. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Billy, that was a fun and emotional video to watch. Seen many vids and alot of them yours. Started hunting 2 yrs ago when I was 50 and my first muley was taken at 280 yards with my 303 savage. There’s a whole storey in that one too. I really appreciate how real you are and how you brought this trip full circle with fam. and friends. Loved it, thanks. I’m dreaming of an Alaskan trip one day and that’s because of you. Thanks.👍🏻👍🏻
That was absolutely amazing 👍 great job Billy. Awesome to see the old boys out having such a time! I was laughing my ass off at points they had some great jokes and lines lol. Makes you realize how important family and great friends are. Keep up the great work, all the best 🙏🏻🇨🇦
This was Awesome Billy. the finale..... too good. Thanks for Sharing
Billy, you are 1 of a kind, love watching you hunt. Hunting with your father and Gus took me back to hunting with my father and family when I was a kid. Same as you, I gravitated to Montana 30 years ago getting a guide license and eventually moving here to the great northwest. THANKS FOR THE QUALITY SHOW,GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
Nature And Father and Son and friends This is what it s about. Make the most of every day. Thank you For sharing with us. Respect.
Great video, thanks for taking us along.
Loved it. What wonderful memories you made. Loved seeing the old lions get it done with old school rifles and calibers. Getting sick of all the videos of people shoot 6.5 Creedmors with cans on them 500 yards. These old guys were real hunters!
Billy what a treat that video was, a great time indeed.
I have been such a huge fan of Billy ever since I first started seeing his videos and hunts several years ago. 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.
You did it exactly right, Billy. Perfect.
Loved this video Billy .Thanks. Reminded me of when my Dad uncle and brother came up to Alaska and hunted caribou and moose with me in 89 and 90. I was stationed there in the Army for 5 years and always have great memories from those hunts.Thanks again great video. Liked the rifles your Dad and friend used also.
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.
Amazing family time...so precious...
My dad took us kids hunting and trapping and didnt have a last hoorah with him... however watching your video I felt like I did. Thanks a bunch. 💖🙂
Lonesome Dove North..That gave me a good chuckle.😄.
This was awesome. I loved the extra stuff at the end. Congrats on making some fine memories with he family. I know you’re proud.
One of your great videos Billy. I am 82 years old and at the end of my hunting times but really enjoy your VIDS. Looking forward to your next.Take care and happy hunting............Bill
I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time. Thank you so much for what you do.
What great hunt for you men , the comrotory was great ! Such a great memory for all to share .
You were well trained. The breed is there. Brilliant. Up. Bringing. Hard. Work. Dose. No harm. Has to be respected.
Billy....such a humble dude. I'm ready to book a moose hunt with you. I'm not getting any younger.
Great movie Billy! I’m glad you were able to capture that hunt with your Dad. This movie makes me think back to deer hunting with my Granddad, Great Granddad, and uncles. I wish I would have thought about bringing along a camcorder back in the 80’s.
Hunting heritage... loved watching every minute of it!!! Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories :)
Your a lucky man Billy to be able to hunt with your Dad & his best friend
Good hunt with good people
The end was so DANG funny. Well done.
your best video to date bill my emotions was running wild tears in my eyes you are so lucky to spend that time with your dad and mad dog and excellent marksmanship by them both respect all around lads
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was a beautiful shot☝️👍👍👍🧙🏽♂️
Every video from you Billy, spells respect lovin! Best Regards Peter Eriksson Sweden ❤
This is awesome!
Watching from New Zealand. What a wonderful adventure to share with your dad and friend. Nothing beats those special moments and adventures. Sure you will treasure the memory for ever. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
I am not a hunter but wow do I enjoy yr channel love yr gentle heart and the photography is spectacular to say the least .. and so very much enjoy your narrative voice
I’m so happy your getting to have a week with dad and Greg. My dad passed when I was 21 so never got to do that kind of stuff.A very special week you’ll have
I shed tears with a smile on my face. Very lucky and blessed to have such a great hunt with your Dad and good friend. Cherish forever I’m sure. 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. Peace to you! Hoople ND was my families hometown and I know Minn well😜
So nice to see you and your dad hunt together ,I never had a dad to hunt with but watching you guys make up for it.what a hunt to remember. I hope your kid gets to shoot a caribou with your grandpas gun. Or clean it up retire the old savage. I have a Winchester mod. 63,a 22 cal. That was my grandpas gun. One of the only guns I never sold or traded something else for. Was offered a thousand dollars for it a few times 20 or 25 yrs ago. I have no kids but I have to figure out who I'm leaving it to. The rest of my guns I will probably pass them out to younger family members within the next few years. You bring back some good memories of my hunting days. I'm going to call an old friend here in a minute to talk hunting and fishing stories with. Some of my best times and stories are from hunting and fishing and drinking beer. Thumbs up ,hats off and subbed Billy. Stay strong brother and thanks for the good memories. Peace
What a great trip! You are blessed.😊🙏
I know this is an older hunt but what I found so great was the fact that you were able to do it with your father and his best friend ....from time to time I've watched your adventures and loved them but what I was most impressed of was this hunt for I've never had such an opportunity since I'm the first generation of hunters in my family and use to hunt to sustain our family through the winters of Ohio, NE Ohio that is ....it was hard and many long hours spent in the woods but that was the way it was back then and I excepted it and would never do it any other way ....Thank you for bring your adventures of Alaska wilderness to us so that we can experience from your experience and God Bless your dad and his friend for being able to do this cuz climbing those mountains ain't an easy task and I love the fact that you were in a position to give them that experience. God Bless and stay safe.
just an awesome time for you all. very well put together video.
Glad the elder men both got nice caribou. Congratulations
So much fun! Thank you Billy for your nice hospitality and dedication for hunters.
Awesome dude! Love that you’re rocking the fly. We talk about it all the time but inevitably go to a spinner. Nothing quite like taking a wild trout on a fly rod…
Well Well Well. This one I could surely relate with like nobody else I know. Had a grand father who was a school teacher and a hunter (he left for the Happy Hunting Grounds much before I came into this world) and a father who taught me a lot about hunting and wildlife. Today I am happiest when I am with nature just looking at wildlife around my farm and where ever I go about. Hunting is no longer permitted in India but that's not a worry as taking photographs or just looking is exciting enough. So this one really was seen thru misty eyes as I lot my father 18 years back to cancer but he went down fighting and now awaits me in the Happy Hunting Grounds if there is such a place.
That's a hell of a shot with a 303 and open sights!! I think Grampa helped a little.
My fondest memories are of camping and deer hunting with my dad and older brothers when I was a kid.. This video sure brought them back. Loved it. Thanks a lot!
thats some fantastic shooting . i only wish i could have an adventure like that with my dad
Bro, The part where they are snoozing and you give "bear, bear" 😂
Billy BEAR....BEAR..... ha,ha............this video is wonderful! I thought your Grampa's rifle was a little light but the 1 shot proved me wrong? Every family hunt has a Gus in it? We do! Cheers what a great video!!!!
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.
This was the best episode, this is what life is all about! My Dad is my hunting partner and at the young age of 79 he was still hunting with me last year 2019. He said the he’s going to stay inside his family room this year and listen for my shot. Nah I’ll believe it when I see it. Thank you so much for sharing, I felt like I was there with you!
Supper hunt, beautiful country, God bless you! Enjoyed it a lot!
