Hunt For The Unknown, Alaska Caribou Hunting Adventure

Three hunters journey to the Arctic slope of Alaska’s Brooks Range Mountains in search of a challenge, a measure of danger, and an outcome unknown. The wolves, wolverines, moose, herds of caribou, and a marauding grizzly bear satisfied their primal urge to explore such a desolate wilderness and changed their lives forever.

I’m a 73yr old great gramma. I am proud to tell you that instead of watching movies at the end of my day, I watch your videos. You draw me in with your stories and your faith. I find myself captured by the hunts every step of the way, no matter what you are hunting. You have helped me understand what true hunting is, the reason for it. You’re not out there just to kill something. Thank you Billy. Thank you for being the man that you are.

[@debbiejohnson5610]

Me too, 67 yr old grandma, and I am hooked.

[@Drew-Hill]

I am a 37 year old father of two, but we all enjoy Billy’s videos. I bet you two are awesome grandmas!

[@user-mh9ym1ui3c]

Billy, you'll never second guess your decision to have Dad and his best friend come hunt with you. That by far was the best episode I've watched so far. Nothing to do with trophy animals, just the memories of you guys spending time together. Congratulations.

[@the_endless_hunter]

Billy if I’m being honest, this brought me to tears. To read your book and watch your prior videos and now to see this video with your dad and close family friend, truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you so much for sharing this.

By far the best hunting film I ever did watch, credit to ya Billy, showed nothing but respect to ya Dad, Mad dog the wilderness and all those beautiful animals. Well done to you all. I would love nothing more than to experience Alaska with you.

[@kevinklugow6476]

Awesome to see a couple of local guys, that I've known for as long as I can remember having the time of their lives!

[@jaycroyle8761]

Absolutely one of the best hunting videos I have ever seen, seeing those two old hunting buddies head to Alaska and get the job done was just music for my heart. Oh and Lonesome Dove is one of my favorites, great job by all, i really enjoyed it. Thank you so so much for posting this.

[@sldrckofages7200]

Great! It’s not only about the hunting. It’s about life.

[@brianmckenna1884]

Thanks for taking us along. Tremendous storytelling and an experience that literally shapes your life.

[@DonaldRaymond-fh6nf]

I loved this episode. I'm 76 and this brought me back to my early days of hunting with my dad ,his friends in the mountains of South western Montana. Great memories!!!

[@davestadnik8739]

That was absolutely amazing 👍 great job Billy. Awesome to see the old boys out having such a time! I was laughing my ass off at points they had some great jokes and lines lol. Makes you realize how important family and great friends are. Keep up the great work, all the best 🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@timholmes1268]

Hunting heritage... loved watching every minute of it!!! Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories :)

[@BigBlue1026]

I would have loved to have shared a hunt with my Dad. My Grandfather was a hunter and deep sea fisherman, but my Dad never made time for hobbies of his own. Having lived through the depression my Dad was always worried about it happening again so he worked several jobs and saved everything he could. He would take a week or two for vacation trips with my Mom, but never took the time away from for anything you would consider a hobby. He passed six years ago at 91 years old. This hunt with your Dad and his friend is truly special and I'm sure you count yourself a blessed man for having been given this gift. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

[@dennisward1361]

I've watched this video 4 times and still it lifts my spirit . I was the first born son so I got the best years my dad had to give . My dad loved hunting almost as much as he loved working . He taught me the art of hunting and tracking . Being an old Marine he prided himself on head shots and no wasted meat . I'm 70 now and all I have are my memories . I have felt closest to my God and Savior Jesus Christ while hunting . I'm happy for you that you got this valuable opportunity with your dad and friend while all alive . God bless Billy .

[@timzeafla7678]

That was the best hunt I’ve seen! Trip of a lifetime and I’m glad you were able to do it with them! It reminded me of the trip i made to Alaska with my brother and great friend. I was sad for you guys at the end because you had to leave. I watched and truly felt like I was right there with you.

[@antonrehling1966]

I love that Lonesome Dove reference. Shows the comrade, priceless.

[@dhooter]

Nothing like it being so quiet you can hear the camera. I'm addicted to the silence of the Brooks Range.

[@alaskaadventureservices6246]

Great video, thanks for taking us along.

[@jameshurd8657]

Billy....such a humble dude. I'm ready to book a moose hunt with you. I'm not getting any younger.

[@lesbosma4813]

Lol! The end was the best!

[@raymondhochhausen1438]

Loved this video Billy .Thanks. Reminded me of when my Dad uncle and brother came up to Alaska and hunted caribou and moose with me in 89 and 90. I was stationed there in the Army for 5 years and always have great memories from those hunts.Thanks again great video. Liked the rifles your Dad and friend used also.

[@samgreninger6567]

I truly enjoy your videos. This one really got to me. 2016 was the last year I got to hunt with my dad. He still goes to camp with me but his vision is gone now. He did something that last trip I never thought I would see him do. For the first time in all of his years of hunting he passed on shooting a legal buck. I sat next to him as that deer walked out onto the old skid road and passed within 50 yards of him. I watched my dad raise the gun to his shoulder, push the safety off when the buck stopped directly in front of him and waited for the shot. My dad slowly put the gun down and told the deer to keep moving. A day I'll never forget.

[@rexmorretti1664]

Billy, you are 1 of a kind, love watching you hunt. Hunting with your father and Gus took me back to hunting with my father and family when I was a kid. Same as you, I gravitated to Montana 30 years ago getting a guide license and eventually moving here to the great northwest. THANKS FOR THE QUALITY SHOW,GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

[@oliveraustin3240]

Absolutely loved watching these two ole boys.Thank you 👍🇦🇺❤

[@husqv5147]

The only wider smile on this day was the one on Grandpa's face when his son dropped a caribou with his old Savage 303. Great job guy's!!!

[@toddprobasco9728]

Great movie Billy! I’m glad you were able to capture that hunt with your Dad. This movie makes me think back to deer hunting with my Granddad, Great Granddad, and uncles. I wish I would have thought about bringing along a camcorder back in the 80’s.

[@deanhaley9318]

What a great experience for you guys. Thanks for sharing!

[@jameswall497]

Oh Billy, that was a fun and emotional video to watch. Seen many vids and alot of them yours. Started hunting 2 yrs ago when I was 50 and my first muley was taken at 280 yards with my 303 savage. There’s a whole storey in that one too. I really appreciate how real you are and how you brought this trip full circle with fam. and friends. Loved it, thanks. I’m dreaming of an Alaskan trip one day and that’s because of you. Thanks.👍🏻👍🏻

[@Sheddtycoon]

One of your great videos Billy. I am 82 years old and at the end of my hunting times but really enjoy your VIDS. Looking forward to your next.Take care and happy hunting............Bill

That’s the best hunt I’ve watched from you. I’d love to had a hunt like that with my Dad and his best friend. Thanks for sharing.

My fondest memories are of camping and deer hunting with my dad and older brothers when I was a kid.. This video sure brought them back. Loved it. Thanks a lot!

Nature And Father and Son and friends This is what it s about. Make the most of every day. Thank you For sharing with us. Respect.

[@abetroyer9446]

It was moving to see you honor your grandfather, your father and the Savage, and to see the hand of God move so clearly in the second hunt with such grace on behalf of you and your father was the best!

[@jeanetteswiger557]

That was the best episode I watched. You Billy,Your Dad and MadDog was so funny through the show and serious when should be. I really enjoy your shows Billy.

[@etamaman]

I shed tears with a smile on my face. Very lucky and blessed to have such a great hunt with your Dad and good friend. Cherish forever I’m sure. I lost my long time best friend and Father a couple years ago to lung cancer. We shared many days in the outdoors bird hunting and fishing and I will always remember each one. I still find myself talking to him when I feel his presence among my outdoor experiences. I’m 53 now and feel my body telling me no from years of farm work and 21 years in Refuse Hauling, but I do my best. Peace to you! Hoople ND was my families hometown and I know Minn well😜

[@fabianihrke4786]

Billy i just found your hunts on here a few wks ago. And watching your videos is about all ive done in these last few wks. You see i lived in Alaska with my family my self for 14 yrs. My father which brought us all to Ak.stayed many yrs after myself. I got married and moved back down to the lower 48. My pa was the first that took me deer hunting That was when i was young i dont remember my age but it was in Wisconsin because i was born in Burlington Racine. Anyway don't mean to go on. Just want to say I'll be 59 yrs old in less than two moths and I am alone now as my hole family has went on to meet up with god my loving wife of close to 30 yrs included.as her and my Dad passed in 2012. Both my younger brother aand my mom. All gone. So it's just me watching you now pilgrim. I very much enjoy all your video's keep them coming but remember one thing my friend there is only so much time we have marked for our family. Spend it with them as much as you can because its the only golden time we have on this earth. I hope I made since in this message to you. Your my new hero on earth. I love watching your hunts.. Lord be with you and yours Be safe and skin that griz. pilgim and get ya another one. Peace be yours. Sincerely Your friend Fabian. P. S. I also grow up milking cows and working with cattle.

It's wonderful that your dad and the other guy were able to get their caribou.

That's outstanding. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. It makes great binging when your dying to hunt. I'd like to do it one day.

[@Guide504]

Amazing family time...so precious...

[@user-jg2zo4nj6s]

I have been such a huge fan of Billy ever since I first started seeing his videos and hunts several years ago. This one has been one of my favorites that I have re-watched many of times and it ALWAY'S has me laughing so so hard when he wakes them up saying, "bear-bear" if only I could have been in camp with the three of them that week. Talk about some laughs.

[@barrytree6666]

For the second time I’ve watched this episode. I can only say, I agree with you it’s probably your best memory of hunting with Pa and Greg

[@PocketKnivesBlog]

Absolutely LOVE this!!! TY

[@sldrckofages7200]

I love it when you remain aware of your hunter's position and where the end of his barrel in pointed, so that you can remind him not to point it in any direction other than the one in which he's going to shoot. I ALSO respect the way you gently reminded him to keep the end of the barrel pointed down range. I know he is your Father but I'm betting you would do it the same way for any hunter OTHER than your Dad.

[@406highlanders]

It was a long video but it was worth the watch. Hunting caribou with my dad was one on my greatest experience, brings back good memories. Thanks

[@rodneymurray4149]

[@brendadunham2442]

This was the best episode, this is what life is all about! My Dad is my hunting partner and at the young age of 79 he was still hunting with me last year 2019. He said the he’s going to stay inside his family room this year and listen for my shot. Nah I’ll believe it when I see it. Thank you so much for sharing, I felt like I was there with you!

Hello Billy, I am not a hunter but I really enjoy your hunt videos. The beauty of nature is second to none. The pic at 10:20 of your grandpa could pass as a picture of you.

[@ryanaustin2617]

Good story telling. The best scene is where both your dad and "Gus" in the tent and you shout "bear".

[@naturesmagik]

I grew up guiding and hunting in the back country, the woods... I too prefer it out there. Much more peaceful and you learn a lot, not just about yourself, but nature too.

[@Drew-Hill]

What a cool experience. I use my grandad’s old guns all the time. It makes me feel connected to him to think that we have both held that rifle and felt a similar experience. You guys are 100% comfortable around each other, and it shows.

[@sandib4234]

AWESOME RELAXING INTERESTING ADVENTURE...LOVED IT!!!! TAKE CARE GOD BLESS YOU.

[@droberts73543]

I know this is an older hunt but what I found so great was the fact that you were able to do it with your father and his best friend ....from time to time I've watched your adventures and loved them but what I was most impressed of was this hunt for I've never had such an opportunity since I'm the first generation of hunters in my family and use to hunt to sustain our family through the winters of Ohio, NE Ohio that is ....it was hard and many long hours spent in the woods but that was the way it was back then and I excepted it and would never do it any other way ....Thank you for bring your adventures of Alaska wilderness to us so that we can experience from your experience and God Bless your dad and his friend for being able to do this cuz climbing those mountains ain't an easy task and I love the fact that you were in a position to give them that experience. God Bless and stay safe.
