Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks guys! It was a lot of fun!

@@Ivoryfier thank you! Honestly don’t really know what you’re asking here

Never made that mistake again! Luckily I had a back up plan

Right on! Thank you! Good luck and stay safe out there 👊🏼

I appreciate it! Good luck out there!

The heat, brush, and lack of water is no joke!

I believe it is! Good luck this season!

Thank you! I did get him mounted. If you message me on IG I’ll send you a picture. The taxidermist that did this one doesn’t seem to be doing much work right now

Hey thanks for the comment. We haven’t hunted Couse, but it definitely seems like there are a lot of similarities. That a hunt we hope to do in the near future

@@DecisiveOutdoors Oh that was rude of me! Went straight to me and no word on the video. Cool video, enjoyed watching!

Thank you! We used the Sony AX53 and go pros. But the AX43 is cheaper and it does the exact same thing just doesn’t have the eyepiece. (I’ve never used it never will)

Thank you! This was southeast Ak

@@coreyj2035 when it comes to spotting scopes absolutely

Kenetrek mountain extreme non insulated

I did bump him initially, he never saw or smelled me, he just heard me through the thick brush and ran off. I caught a small glimpse of him the first time. I tried going around and up thinking I could cut him off haha. My ignorance is why I luckily saw him after I gave up trying to cut him off. I didn’t know he only went about 50-80yds from his original bed. When I was coming back down the hill I just so happened to catch him bedding again through the brush. So I guess I did cut him off 😅 just not where I was expecting him. I wish I would have been able to better capture the encounter. It was all luck

@@DecisiveOutdoors ok, so he was the same buck you jumped before shutting off your camera! It was luck that he bedded almost right away but it was your patience that won that day 👍

@@eddielombera5862 yeah, exactly. I wish I had done a better job documenting that. I didn’t know what else to do but wait him out till dark and hope he walked back out the way he went in. Fortunately for me he did

Thank you! A billy would have been amazing to take home after all that. Can’t control the weather that’s for sure.. But it was one I’ll never forget, and I can’t wait to get back after them again. Good luck out there, and stay safe!

Thank you! We were super proud of him for holding out for a good buck. Good luck this season!

I appreciate it! Thank you!

It was something that’s for sure 😂

Not a bad idea! The stick doesn’t slide at all. And this isn’t a set up isn’t something you would want to leave up in a heavy wind anyway. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you! Much appreciated

Thanks Tyler! Wish I could make it over there with you guys this spring

Do it!! It’s worth it!

It can save your filter in areas with dirty water! Glad you got something out of it

Thanks man!

We appreciate it man 👊🏼

Thanks Roy!

Thanks Tim! This one was a humbling experience to say the least. I can’t wait to get back up there

Hey Adam, thanks for the support. I workout routinely year round. Consistency is key. My average work out consists of starting off with light stretching, then go into 15 mins of cardio (bike, elliptical, running), then I go into step-ups, split squats and squats with dumbbells and/or a pack. Lots of push ups and pull ups. Various types of ab exercises. Ill do that for 2-5 sets takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. You don’t need a whole lot of equipment to stay in great shape. A set of adjustable dumbbells, a step up box, pull up bar. Cardio machines are optional cause you can always run. I workout 3-5 days a week and adjust my workouts depending on what I’ve got going on. When I’m preparing for a hunt I spend a lot more time with a weighted pack (50-70lbs) on the elliptical on max incline with heavy resistance. Since I’m currently living in low country SC that machine in clutch for me to stay in mountain shape. Start slow and increase your workout overtime and you’ll be amazed at what you’ll be able to do after a few months. If you want my exact workout hit me up at [email protected] and I’ll send you a starting point that’s helped several others. Good luck out there 👊🏼

Hey thanks! It’s a Seek Outside Cimarron with their Medium stove

Thank you! This was a solo hunt

Thank you Joel! 👊🏼 and I will keep that in mind!

Thank you! I agree!

Thanks brotha! 👊🏼 I definitely underestimated that water..

Awesome adventure with great meaning💪🏼 thanks for sharing

@@wyattsanderson3769 thanks Wyatt, much appreciated 🤙🏼

Little man is turning into quite the hunter!

Thanks! This was first week of September. If you’re in shape, the hardest part about hunting SE AK is the weather. Self employed up there is the way to go lol hunt the good days, work the bad

@@DecisiveOutdoors totally agree! Haven’t yet figured out a way to keep the boots dry on a multi-day. Even with gators and new socks they always end up soaked. I don’t get a choice what the weather is as I’m flying up for a week or so and have to book things early. Keep up the great videos!

@LostBoysProduction what boots are you running? My feet have always stayed dry in kenetrek mountain extremes. I wax them heavily prior to every hunt. Even after several seasons of use still dry. Another thing I do is put hand warmers in the toes immediately after taking them off and lace them up so they only have a small hole at the top

​@@DecisiveOutdoors I've got a pair of Gore-Tex Solomon's, I might be on the market to replace them this year as they are a bit heavy and like I mentioned slow to dry out. I will have to try out your handwarmer trick - that's a new one for me but it seems to make a lot of sense! One thing that's made a huge difference is running wool underlayers - they seem to dry out a lot better than the synthetic stuff, especially if you can get a fire going.

Water can definitely travel down the layers into the boots. Made that mistake a couple times, I had decided to forego the raingear since a was covering some ground and it wasn’t raining. My knees got soaked and wicked down into my boots even with gaiters on. Didn’t dawn on me till later that had happened. Well good luck out there!

Heck yeah brother! We’ll have to get you out to SC this fall!

Thank you!

Thank you! 👊

Thanks man! There were many parts of this trip that was absolutely miserable. But it was one heck of an adventure. Looking back I probably should have just went into an area with more information. But we left with some great memories with from this one.

Thanks man! We have talked about this hunt many times. We had an opportunity to go to a different area but the unknowns about this spot was mostly why I was drawn to it. Looking back obviously it was the wrong decision haha. First and foremost the adventure is what I enjoy about mountain hunting, if it was just about shooting an animal I can think of just about anywhere that’s easier to do that! Thanks for the comment, good luck out there!

Nice! I would say buy the best tripod you can afford. A mid range tripod will run about $300-$400
