Archery Hunting The Arctic Circle | Alaskan Moose & Caribou (FT S9 Ep4)

Marcus, Kara, and Michael are headed to Alaska in search of caribou and moose. They start off caribou hunting and quickly realize that archery hunting on the flat Alaskan tundra is easier said than done. While the caribou seem to allow them close, just as they ease into bow range, the caribou often give them the slip. After a few days hunting caribou, moose are up next. While Marcus does have a special moose permit, it doesn't mean the moose are easy to find. Will the team find a moose before time runs out?

I swear I watched this last year on KZbin? Am i trippin or is this from last year?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I'm sure you saw the "Day by Day" Version of this hunt. We usually produce a Day by Day version of all our hunts, as well as a Fresh Tracks Episode. Some people enjoy watching condensed version of a hunt with music, narration, etc. That is what the Fresh Tacks episodes provide. This hunt was from 2020.

[@bretlawson924]

Marcus, I want you to realize that EVERYTHING you enjoy your hunts with is based in natural resource extraction....from minerals and metals to oil. For you to have "mixed" emotions tells me you haven't really taken an in depth look at where all your equipment, your house, your transportation, etc originates from. Do THAT before you go making opening statements like that. REALLY pissed me off dude! Keep political and idealogical falsehoods out of what you do for us and for yourself. Feelings off.

[@Rugged_Peaks_Media]

The highway provides everything to the industry I work in up here in Alaska. The oilfield gets a bad rap for some reason but the animals have a great environment even around all the oilfields up here

[@kirkbarr5503]

at least thr pipeline is getting used for somthing now

[@PewsNPullStarts]

Lololol perfect 😂

[@wimtheeuwen7315]

Now you show old stuf on youtube? I would like to see the day to day hunting in the present. Sorry i can not pay for all my favorit channels.

[@northernoutdooradventures3883]

Special permit = give us lots of money to chase something that doesn't exist except in your imagination....

[@RoadLifePursuits]

Yep...you will never see a 50 inch moose on this road...and if you do it's a fluke IMO....but a great time for sure.

[@The_Judge300]

Been there, done that and learned from it. Got a so called "Special Permit" once and hunted for 14 days without seeing a single moose. And I didn't road hunt like these did, I walked far into to area to get away from the hunting pressure and slept out there every night. On my way back to my car, I met an old local small game hunter not far from the road. And he told me that those permits was a scam as the last time anyone shot a legal moose according to that permit, it was 12 years ago, and it was shot illegally 3 weeks before the season started.... He told me that it was common for the locals to hunt illegally in the area and that they shot any moose they saw. The locals shot all the bull moose long before they got big enough for that "Special Permit" I suspect it was the same in the area these guys hunted, considering that they didn't see a single cow on their hunt either. Just scamming money from non residents.

[@rustyshackleford9017]

sounds like you put in for a tag in an area you didn't know much about before hand. At least thats how it comes across lol. Stomping straight at caribou, for example.

[@The_Judge300]

It is totally clear that they were totally clueless about hunting caribou and moose and that they had not done any research on it or asked anyone for advice. Looked like two hunters that had never hunted before.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Awesome scenery. You need to hunt behind silhouettes for caribou I think Marcus and Kara. Just a thought.

[@chriscarroll6355]

Give me a break with the SCAR on the landscape. You wouldn't even know about it if you didn't come to AK to hunt.

[@perryknetter8577]

Great video That's hunting building memories with your wife and friends is priceless. I really enjoy watching the really deal Thank you for sharing your hunts with us 🙏 for you all. God's Blessings on all your adventures

[@The_Judge300]

Fun video, but this looked more like a "How not to hunt" video than anything else. They looked like they have never hunted before. I find it almost shocking how someone can go on a hunt like this and be so totally clueless about it.

[@kavak1344]

Your tactic of running up on those caribou, reminds me of a few of my antelope stalks! 😁

[@Fresh_Tracks]

😁

[@thomasjosephson4428]

Only 1 moose was shot on that tag last year. my understanding is the area is a wintering ground for moose and you need some good cold weather to bring them in. It's a fun area to hunt though.

[@carlwalton3879]

Anything with Kara and Marcus 👍👍

[@jero1918]

My wife and Iove the Kara and Marcus videos. Keep em coming. :D

[@mixtaperadio]

Awesome sub adult 3 to 4 year old bald eagle 21:58

[@blind-dateoutdoorssportsma547]

Keys to haul road caribou success. Don't chase them. Set up an ambush and wait for them to come to you. Remember they have eyes like a turkey, so concealment is a must. If you can see their heads, they can see yours. It is tough getting within what is called wolf distance, that last 200 yards. I'm headed up in 4 days. And yes, we plan to take some Ptarmigan, using bird points/spring heads. Best of luck next year, I'm sure y'all will return.

[@richardgratz8779]

What pack is marcus using? great hunt and video guys!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I linked the pack below! Thanks for watching!

[@cajuama]

You 3 together are funny, I love it!

[@packersaremydad9441]

Another amazing episode Randy!

[@freedomlover425]

Question for Randy: Do you ever check zero on a rifle and find it has shifted since the last time you had it out?

[@skydiver6711]

Now this was a hunting show even though nothing was killed. I have seen others that thought driving down the highway and playing grab fanny in a motel for over half the video was a hunting show. This was all about a man and wife enjoying the outdoors even though they did not kill anything. Great video, thanks.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching!

[@gregpeldo1313]

Fresh tracks with Marcus Hockett! I guess the good ole days are gone with Randy, it was great while it lasted!

[@LASKANDUDE]

[@briangregory9609]

[@nojelgof]

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@charleshawkins2485]

take a pillow case next time , they can be lured in if the setting is good

[@khaleddz.]

Hunting is not only about killing an animal... One thing that is so special about hunting is sharing incredible moments with the once we LOVE ... Great video thank you guys

[@striderwolf687]

Another good one! Appreciate that sometimes when I watch Fresh Tracks it’s like hunts I’ve been on (where we don’t get an animal) vs. other channels where they always get the big one! Hunting is so much more and this vid and a recent one with Randy in Montana highlight it. Thanks for being honest!

[@Bhartrampf]

That's my old stomping grounds, I have low crawled, did the bow and arm up, ambushed them. It all depends on the herd and the day. Picking a small satalite heard of five or less seems to work the best and stopping when they stick out that back leg or look at you. My buddies and I used to call it the shopping trip. The more you go, the better you get at it. You guys did a lot better then I did on my first trip up their, great job. I love Montana, but miss living up their.

[@tommurphy6972]

Great show guys, really miss hunting caribou, never tried with a bow thow seems like lots of fun!!

[@gabelaturner1679]

Great crew! Why didn't you guys strap the back quarters onto your packs to feel the weight? Lol

[@adamboone6864]

The ptarmigan hunting on the north slope is ridiculous.

[@DB.KOOPER]

Just got into archery/bowhunting and absolutely loving it. Stoked to see some archery content on the channel Randy. Keep up the awesome work.

[@michaeltubbs2493]

Great video thanks for making it feel like I am there sometime thanks for sharing!

[@robertchamberlain452]

[@Fresh_Tracks]

[@dv_2131]

That’s what’s it’s all about. The harvest isn’t the hunt the memories and experiences are. Great video!

[@stephenkennedy3145]

Awesome adventure . Thanks for sharing

[@Unhinged29]

21:00 not gona lie I am going to be over the moon if I can find a bull that big this October

[@dakotabowers5414]

Got my first hunt ever starting next Friday; Early Anterless Season for Minnesota. I am so EXCITED for this experience. I have been watching yalls videos for the last 3 months, doing my firearms safety courses, and shooting my gun as much as I can. Got a new scope, Dialed it in last week and am feeling more then ready to take out my first doe. Thank you for all the knowledge and inspiration that you and your team have been feeding me and many others along the way. You all are amazing. Stay blessed and keep pumping out these high quality videos.

[@dakotabowers5414]

@___Meph___ unfortunately had to get my wisdom teeth removed on opener weekend, then got sick for the first time in 5 years. The week/weekend after opener. Odds were completely against Me.

[@dakotabowers5414]

We saw nothing early antlerless though. Best days of my life though. Incredible amounts of fun and beautiful scenery.

[@bryanincommiefornia5629]

I would watch the Marcus and Kara show every day, so much fun watching them hunt/play in the fields. Kara hunting caribou may be one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen on KZbin.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@rustyshackleford9017]

do you have a link? i don't think i watched the same video

[@levicoulter3030]

Awesome video! was this filmed in august 2022?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

This is season 9. All of these episodes are from 2020!

[@jero1918]
