I really enjoy your videos. I like the relationship you guys have-reminds me of what I had with my dad before he passed. Would’ve given anything to do a hunt with him. Enjoy every moment while you can.

@@bruceaulabaugh thanks for the kind words

[@conanromersberger2544]

Amazing video, thanks so much for sharing. I grew up in Fairbanks, AK and hope to get up there to hunt next year. FYI, the clicking noise is from the tendons in the feet, they roll over some small bone or something and make that noise like cracking your knuckles.

[@justinbigras3852]

[@charlespizzi82]

You guys do it right, I do not like the August videos, to me they are not ripe yet. This was told to me way back when I was about 12 years old by a man that took a boy whose father did not hunt under his wing. I got to hunt caribou in Alaska in 1999 and shot mine on September 10, last one in a party of four to take one. A hunt of a life time. Thanks for the show.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

Great job, always enjoy your videos. Would like to know who makes the stoves you both had on the legs. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

Thanks for the kind words. They are called "century grasshopper stove" most of the ones we have are real old. The newer ones are built a little cheaper but still work great. They put out a real flame so you can actually do some real cooking on them. The new ones are $35 online.

[@kevinolsen6288]

So awesome you got your bull archery hunting! What a great video. Super great footage, great quality video and awesome editing without over-producing and bad music (as others have said). What camera equipment do you use?

Just finished grinding my doe in late muzzle loader season n seniors can use centerfire rifle. Nice caribou !!

[@BackcountryAlaska]

Awesome!! Our sausage turned out great, congrats

[@oldie4210]

I am so surprised those boo's were not startled by your movements with the camera and when you were walking to that nice bull. They have excellent hearing and eyesight

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@oldie4210 they’re used to lots of movement and noise when traveling in herds like this. So you can usually get away with a little bit of both!

[@scottparker9341]

AWESOME video. Personally would never cook in a nylon tent though, especially when it's where I'm sleeping in bear country.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@scottparker9341 you’d think it was a bad idea. But we’ve always done it that way, my dad explains it a bit in his solo sheep hunt from last year, you can find that video on my channel.

[@scottparker9341]

I'll have to go check it out and hear his explanation, just against everything I've been taught. Good luck out there and look forward to the next one!

[@The_cast_frontier]

The clicking noise is a tendon in their feet snapping on a bone when they walk.

[@joymarie2793]

My dad use to love taking me hunting cause I would see caribou from miles away

[@zeldarobinson3382]

great video . nice cape and rack on that bull glad you kept the cape also, congratulations , I dont understand why all hunters dont keep the capes as they are great for warm clothing , and cut the wind etter then any man made clothing ,

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@zeldarobinson3382 I like having them around! There is a significant cost to having them tanned though. I wanna try some at home tanning eventually.

[@javajetson257]

How far did you have to fly to get that?

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@javajetson257 many hundreds of miles, 5 hours of flying or so.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@juliedehaan6729 I can’t remember what it’s called but it’s the coldest weather coat they have, however it is NOT a bow hunting coat. Very very noisy it’s made for some nasty weather

[@kalmurphy5254]

When I go on a hunting trip I have a tent that 4 people can sleep in with a small wood stove just in case of cold weather and to keep my boots dry ❤

[@wesleymonske8103]

Carry two bicycle wheels and an axle. Make a cart. Ache brakey back syndrome. Make a stretcher with a tarp and two poles. Think and save your back.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@wesleymonske8103 just not possible in remote Alaska to build some sort of cart. Besides Alaska Frontier gear packs are awesome, does wear the legs out though 😅

Aren’t you guys worried about bears out there? It seems like a dangerous place to sleep in a flimsy tent if there are bears around.
