[@4BOutdoors]

I’ve been waiting for this!

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

me too! haha I sure hope my editing and camera skills don't disappoint🤣

[@shelbywilson1499]

This is the best moose hunt I’ve seen on KZbin, by far. I can’t wait for the rest of the series however many episodes there is!!

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Thanks! Lots of work went into the hunt and all the video production.

[@GreenFields-7777]

Thanks!

[@sotxoutdoors]

Awesome video, glad to see you getting back to Alaska, ...that's what I'm call determination to get to the river!...can't wait to see rest of the series

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Thanks I appreciate it! It was a lot of work but it’s either get stuck there in the thick of where there’s tons of grizzlies or just get things done and get out of there haha. The rest of the series is pretty dang exciting I can promise you that (it’ll just take a bit for me to get all the video edited and uploaded😬)

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Awesome video man

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@johnnyhelton3746]

Great job on making this movie, looking forward to the rest of it.

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

I really appreciate it! I hope you stick around to see the rest, it should be entertaining at the least.

[@4BOutdoors]

Binge watching. I’ve been waiting months to see this 😂

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Haha months… get out of here with that🤣🤣

[@smokehousehammock4481]

looks like a great hunt... on your boat,,, how tough is the bottom. can it handle scrapping over rocks? have you had any issues with the boat? I was looking at this one or the Legend.

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Love it. It’s fairly heavy duty pvc material that can take a beating. The thing that I love about it that really sets it apart is the separate air chambers in case of a puncture it will allow you to get to shore without losing anything or sinking.

[@jeffgomall8509]

​@@NewDivideOutdoorswhat brand/model of boats are you using.? Thanks

[@Haynesvilleguide]

Great hunt!

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@joshuahoff1129]

Any advice on the pros and cons of a conoe style inflatable vs cataraft

[@growchiropractickanab3730]

Love it! I’m going in 4 years. Do you mind sharing a general region? Like north south east or west Alaska?

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Thank you! nice, do you already have plans/something booked or just set on you're moose hunting in 4 years? As much as I'd like to I can't put it on the interwebs 😬

[@growchiropractickanab3730]

@@NewDivideOutdoors I do have something planned but haven't put down the deposit yet. I've been on 2 drop camp hunts but were unsuccessful on both. the next one will likely be on unit 18 if I go through with it

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

@@growchiropractickanab3730 don’t give up! Seems like just about every person or video I’ve seen out of Bethel they’re successful. Lots and lots of moose around there.

[@pcela1232]

Great adventure, could you tell me the name of the boat and where you bought it, thanks

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

It’s a pioneer xstream from pristine ventures out of Fairbanks, AK.

[@pcela1232]

@@NewDivideOutdoors Thanks friends and good luck to follow you

[@justindike7200]

Would you mind sharing what rafts you used? Also curious if you rented those out of Anchorage or are the personally owned?

[@justindike7200]

BTW...Awesome hunt and a great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Pristine ventures pioneer x-stream. I’ve rented them but decided to just buy my own since I use them often. They’re out of Fairbanks but ship to other places for rental pickup.

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@justindike7200]

@@NewDivideOutdoors perfect! Thanks again!

[@jeffhawkins1191]

Great watch, all 6 parts. What outfitter did you hire?

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! No outfitter, done 100% on our own from the research, scouting, planning to the actual hunt. Only thing we didn’t do ourselves was fly the planes to drop us off and pick us up. Hired an air taxi, which is not a big game transporter, where exactly to take us and pick us up.

[@jeffhawkins1191]

Impressed with your planning. So you had no clue if any other hunters would be on that lake?

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

@@jeffhawkins1191 I didn’t know for sure but had an idea we would probably have it to ourselves from talks with bio’s and past filed hunt reports.

[@GreenFields-7777]

Do you guys recommend floating in waders or is it too dangerous?

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

I think a lot of it depends on the class river/terrain you’re hunting. For where we moose hunt I’m not gonna pass on waders as just about everything is muskeg or the river. Contrary to belief if you dunk yourself in your waders they won’t completely fill up and sink you but they can hinder you if you’re trying to swim to shore. For the brooks it would depend on what river I was floating. North brooks, probably not wear waders, south brooks yes/no depending on what areas I’m floating through.

[@GreenFields-7777]

North Brooks - Ivishack river. Thoughts? Thank you very much for your reply. I am watching all your videos, really well done.

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

@@GreenFields-7777 my limited knowledge of that river I would pass on waders if it were me.

[@GreenFields-7777]

We floated out about 50 miles on the Ivishack river. I’m glad I had my waders for wind and rain and also dragging the boats. We had inflatable life vests if we fell in. I also hunted in my waders the whole time because of the amount of water everywhere. Used my wading boots.

[@garytellep5392]

Your floatplane pilot couldn't drop you off somewheres on that river and avoid all that bushwacking to get to it?

[@NewDivideOutdoors]

I wish! Took a lot of pre planning and a scouting flight in the summer to find a place we could put a float plane cause the river is too dangerous for floats.

[@Mooseracks]

Sorry for the comments..but dump the music...it would be a much more enjoyable video

carrying just to much stuff,, its a stuff manipulation trip
