Don't kill animals., who gives u the right to slaughter animals.?? I'd like to slaughter ALL HUNTERS. there's something wrong w/ ppl that slaughter animals. NUTS !!!

[@billythatkidd6926]

@@kellythomas90 boohoo! There's something very wrong with people that tell people not to kill animals. Yet you're here watching the killing.

[@kellythomas90]

@@billythatkidd6926 I don't watch them !!!!!

[@stephenland9361]

@@kellythomas90 Okay, you don't get it. Some do, some don't. You're one of the 'don't get its'. Doesn't mean I want to slaughter you. Educate... maybe. And for what it's worth, remember that we are, each and every one of us, the descendants of successful hunters. Think about it.

[@stephenland9361]

@SMack I hunt moose and deer, mostly. I have hunted black bear, caribou and pronghorn antelope. Every year I shoot about a dozen or so grouse. I have taken the meat from each and every one. I have also had mounts made. The pronghorn in particular has magnificent horns. But that's not why I shot it. The horns were simply a bonus. Before taking the shot, all I knew was that it was a mature male. I suppose I could always leave the entire head to rot but if the hunt was particularly memorable for any one of a number of reasons, I will cape out the head and take the antlers/horns. None of my mounted specimens is anywhere near a record book trophy. Except for the pronghorn, they are quite average. Yet they represent something to me that I want to keep. Every time I look at them, memories come back. Usually, the memory has nothing to do with the actually shooting. It might just be sitting around the campfire, telling partially true stories. It might be eating fried potato and venison back at base camp when you are so hungry you were about to eat your boots. "Grub in the guts." As one hunting buddy's brother said during a moose hunt when sitting around the campfire drinking a wee dram, "Millionaires can't buy what we have right here." You either get it or you don't.

[@johnpossible6292]

I think John was the star of this hunt...how courageous he was to take the lead on finding that bear. What guts, what balls, what a man.

[@stevencgodden1767]

I’m a 33 yr veteran of law enforcement. These two guides were unbelievable. That was the bravest act I have ever seen. God bless you boys.

[@AndrewMossOutdoors]

I can sleep good tonight knowing the MDMM uploaded this. Thank you Billy for being the best outdoorsman/guide on KZbin!

It takes a special breed of man to go in the brush after a wounded Grizzly. Respect

FYI John Anderson is not dead. It was a tribute to his father. He’s standing next to me on the beach in Mexico and he needs more sunblock. So please bring some:).

John your monologue was outstanding and was completely outdone by your actions and performance. Billy I look forward to your videos as much as I do any other program on TV or the net.

Well, it's 2:25 a.m. Just finished watching SHADOW OF DEATH. Holy snappin, what an awesome adventure. Tip of the hat to John Anderson for his unwavering commitment to the lives of others.

[@GratefulOverlander]

Ethical hunting 101 right here!!! 99% of hunters would not have followed that Grizzly. John Sr. RIP Sir. You raised an amazing Son

[@weinerdog137]

Tough to go into the alders when you know there is a wounded bear in there, but I disagree with your statement. Not 99 percent, maybe 50 percent.

[@j.settle6448]

Holy Smokes! Never been on a bear hunt, so know nothing about them...but my palms were sweating!! Glad to see a dad raising his daughter up like that. It gives me hope for our future.

[@idahoelkhunter2856]

You boys got balls of steel. Knowing he’s in there waiting for you and you can see about 10’.. that’s intense!!

[@steveg1596]

World needs more John’s and Billy’s in it. Respect to John, putting others safety before his own. Understanding the situation and doing the right thing. True professionals, both of you. I was in the military and served 30 years. John and Billy displayed what we in the military understand. Both were there for each other. You do it not just because it’s your job, but you do it because of the people you serve with. John said right after they put the bear down there aren’t many people he would do that with. Showed he respected and trusted Billy.

[@akkenai417]

Thanks for the acknowledgement. Your response means a lot.

[@doughaga3542]

It was a great video but the greatest part was two men who are brothers at heart and risk their life for each other . No greater friend will you ever have .

WOW ! Had me from “crawling out of my skin” on the follow up to almost “cuttin onions” listening to your prophetic words on family. Absolutely one of the best Billy 💯‼️

[@livelife4471]

John, your words are that of honest man and it was refreshing to hear you speak of your life's experience. Billy, I felt like was I reading a Stephen King novel. The suspense of the bear's final act was particularly fixating! Well done, thank you for sharing this video. Glad to see all were safe.

[@jonEmontana]

Hunting in the alders in alaska gets super intense but your instinct and senses do kick into high gear. Billy nailed it …..the world does stop while you’re in those jungles

[@billlowe236]

I know why John wore the pack board was to help in case of getting mauled but I also believe he needed to carry his balls.

[@RoyalLineageLLC]

That’s when you need a .44 mag

[@landonhardt7180]

@@RoyalLineageLLC more like a .500 cal lmao

[@Bryant1963]

Lol. Obviously, Plus they already explained why he was carrying the pack board, not that it wasn’t already fairly obvious to everyone, but I am glad you’re were paying attention! If it were me though, i would’ve also been carrying a large caliber handgun instead of a rifle going through that thick brush hunting a Wounded grizzly!

[@redcanyonoutdoorquest6220]

Billy, I hope you read this comment. Thank you for introducing us all to John. John’s story hits home on different levels and I think we are all blessed that he shared this with us. However, his comment that nobody would miss him ( I do realize what he was actually meaning because I have a daughter myself) really hit kind of hard. Please tell John his bravery and solidarity with you is commendable and inspiring. But most of all, he would absolutely be missed by more people than he’ll ever know. I believe he was put here intentionally by God to be a guardian for many daddy’s, uncles, brothers, sisters and moms that have loved ones back home praying for them to return safely. Please tell John that.

[@aloberdorf4579]

That young Lady got to experience something that few people (of any walk of life) could ever dream of . The most incredible rush and high, and lows imaginable. The memory and implications of her actions, are forever imprinted in her, and her approach to life. A forever memory. Kudos. We all should strive to be humbled also. Thanks !!

[@mollyjacobson4915]

This is the BEST hunt I have ever seen!! I lost my dad named John Nicori Sr on 2-3-18. And I cried so hard to see the dedication of this dangerous hunt made to honor John's dad. Thank God Almighty to keep you guides protected.

[@mattsanchez6505]

Billy I've watched a lot of your videos and alot of other videos at that and this one is by far, the most well told and narrated story of an extreme hunting adventure. I could almost feel the story being told through the words and the voice inflection of what that moment was for every one of you. Id say i wished i was there but no thanks! Fantastic job to you and John both on protecting your clients, yourselves and retrieving a wounded bear! WOW! Awesome story.

[@michaelcollins3489]
