LIFE | Alaska Brown Bear Hunting - Modern Day Mountain Man Season 7

Coastal brown bear hunting on the Alaska Peninsula with Billy Molls.
From the Modern Day Mountain Man film series:
It's said life is a collection of experiences and intersections with people. The adversities, failures, conquests, and the people we experience them with are the fabric of our memories, and the very underpinning of the person we become.
Every year sportsmen from around the world migrate to the Alaskan wilderness,. Why? What are they seeking? Once there, what do they find?
For many, the testing of one's endurance while pursuing a trophy Dall ram, or glassing herds of caribou in search of a white-haired bull with heavy, sweeping antlers lures them to the Last Frontier. For others, it's a magazine image they saw as a child of a giant moose with a dinner table-sized rack standing in a still, mirror pond with regal, snowcapped mountains towering above in the distance. Some hunters long for a measure of danger; their desire is to experience bear country, and discover how they will react in it.
As a boy, Billy Molls dreamed of living the life of a mountain man. Three decades later, if only for a few moments each year, he does just that. This documentary offers candid insight into his journey, his time-honored perspective of conservation, the refinement of his worldview, and the experiences he shares with six hunters from various walks of life. Join Billy and his clients on four unforgettable Alaskan hunting adventures.

[@dennisward1361]

So glad to see you back , I really missed Billy Molls , guide extraordinaire and lover of Jesus .

[@mikenorton62]

DUDE!!!! I haven't even watched the video yet but glad to see you are still making them! Much appreciated! Love ya brother!

[@brucescott3200]

I'm hooked on your videos - bears, moose, sheep, caribou and the great big country in AK. I crabbed out of Kodiak way back in the late 70s and have been fascinated by the immensity of AK. I've been impressed with all of your videos, both in content and in the content of your character. You are first class. Thank you for sharing these priceless experiences on KZbin.

[@bradsimbric7023]

I started watching Dick Proenneke a few yrs ago. Love watching Shawn James, Steve Rinelli and now Billy Molls. Love these youtube videos. Please continue your passion and continue to film your incredible hunts.

[@369dusty]

What a joy for Father & Son. The way it started out, I am sure they had doubts with the bad weather. They sure came to life when they both got their bears ! Happy they could make the trip. Billy is the best there is....PERIOD !!!!1

[@stingray8585]

Been waiting too long for this.

[@RebeccaDwayneBlankenship]

I feel so cozy inside watching him cook the steaks, in that tiny little cabin!! Awesome

[@catfish307]

YES!!!!!!! Can't wait to watch this.......... And it didn't disappoint. Thanks Billy!

[@keithmock963]

Where have you been!!! So excited to watch this video. Hope all is well with you and your family

[@to8860]

Welcome back Billy!!! Miss your videos SO much!!!!!!!!

[@vincentabney9208]

I'm a fan of the channel, I'm a fan of Billy and the way he goes about things, but I think he would admit that this was a stretch with the distance and wind. I'm a fan of hunting and I support hunters, but this was a hard one to watch. Sometimes hunting isn't pretty.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Yooooo I literally said to myself TODAY man I hope Billy isn't done making videos. Literally out of nowhere today I thought that 😂😂. But....HERE WE GOOOOO!!!🙏💪🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@gregoryh4601]

Mr Molls this is Why Our God put Us on Earth so we can Learn the way of life with good Cals and Bad Calls. Billy you did it Right and the Best Part you brought a Father and Son closer Together then any other Man could Do. Last I love your Videos and wish I was Younger. Peace Be With You Billy and Family 👍🏻

[@doughaga3542]

Father and son together doing something they love is one great adventure they will never , never forget. And the sow to me would be just as great as the boar . I would bet my last dollar that these two men will always remember this trip. And it was you billy that make this hunt a great hunt. I really enjoyed this video . And like you I love my mountains.

[@joelmcmahan7386]

Thank you MDMM for sharing hunts, places, and your faith for us all to enjoy and learn from. For people like myself this is the only way I’ll ever see many of the great places I can’t see in person. Wishing the best to the Molls Family, his hunters, and fans of a great guide with the good Lord in his heart. Good hunting and Gods blessings to you all. 🐻🎥💪🏽💯👍🙏🏻

[@scottburgess696]

Add another awesome video to your collection, you really capture the true adventure of the hunt. I have accompanied a friend on two brown bear hunts and watching your videos puts me right back in the wind, rain, brush and adrenaline rush of the adventure, thanks Billy for sharing!!

[@bobwilliams3634]

[@freedom7567]

Your a lucky man Billy. Love your videos.

[@timothywills9078]

As I watched your hunt and I hear you say that the father and son haven't shown any disappointment in taking a the two different bears. Billy is a lot like most men. Your just a little bit hard on yourself. You never let the bear get the customer's. Enjoy your family and the love they have for you and thanks for your time showing us what it takes for a professional hunt.god bless you and your customers. Stay safe and keep on keeping on.

[@rogerramjet7567]

Great hunt!! I was on Unimak 1994. 10’6””. Unforgettable experience. Two very lucky hunters. Good job Bill. 👍👍

As a hunter my self it was a great hunt an a show to watch , at 70 I dont go like I use to, but love watching shows like yours, you take care and God Bless, you all , larry

[@ronwatson4902]

Boy I was about ready to call your mama to see where you were. So great to see you doing what you do again. Great video,so realistic I nearly froze to death watching and it's 91 degrees here in SC. I love how you interact with your hunters and still remain alone if that makes any sense. There's something very special and different about you Billy. I'd be jealous if I weren't the same way. Godspeed to you too!

[@dawnahuggett377]

So glad to have you back!!! I love your hunts and the wonderful people you guide

Great hunts!! Love the critters, and thanks for the adventure.

I return to home town every year to fish on the Kenai. This year while shopping for supplies I ran into Billy Molls. I stopped and embarrassed myself to shake his hand only to find out that it wasn't you Billy. I took the time to show this man, "James", a picture of you. He was shocked that he felt like he was looking into a mirror. You have a double Billy in Soldotna AK. ✌️ PEACE!

[@coreygraham3572]

Great video. You are living the life many would love to have.

[@timandersonwildman6138]

Those father/son hunts are a hoot. I know this bothered you, and it took some time to process it - but there is no shame in taking a sow. I took a big one I misjudged on Kodiak las fall. It helped a bit that she was causing trouble with us. I never regretted it one bit. And, those men of yours sure seemed happy as can be. A lot of people don't realize how busy you are, and how much time and effort it takes to put something like this together. Often, summer or winter is the only time one gets a chance to make a video. Very soon here, I bet you'll be guiding in AK again. Thanks. Good luck and be safe. BTW I watched all your bear videos, and they helped me out a lot when it came my time to hunt.

[@alfredvieira5132]

Hey Billy, just watched episode 8 Christian hunter.. I used to be an avid deer hunter outdoors man I’m from upstate Ny. I’ve struggled with addiction I’m 48yrs. old. I’ve been through the ministry called Teen Challenge but it is for men! I also had doubts about predestination, I think by you asking your questions in your faith is humility because your right who are we to question God or know who goes to heaven and who doesn’t! I wish you the best my brother in Christ!!
