My Best Hunt Yet | Solo Backcountry Mule Deer Hunt

[@russellkeeling4387]

I had a solo hunt like this except it was an elk hunt. In 2018 I was 64 years old and hunted by myself. I was able to find the elk, stalk close enough to get a good shot. I was then able to get the elk back to my truck and get it loaded by myself. I thought I was going to have a heart attack and they would find my dead body lying with that of the elk but I made it. There is a primal feeling I can never forget and even though I've hunted elk all my life and have been very successful I will never forget that hunt.

[@SamongOutdoors]

Solo-packing an elk is no joke! I have yet to do that, but I certainly understand the struggle! It's the worst and best feeling mixed into one!

[@stephenjensen93]

Hunting solo in backcountry is in a class by itself. That is where I find most peace with this life. Thank you for sharing this with people in an honest way.

[@ServeNProtect]

Hunting alone also comes with danger. If there is an accident, who will help?

[@jdamore44]

Most back country hunters these days have satellite communications. @@ServeNProtect

We’ll said

[@markswanson6186]

Samong, it was great to meet you up on the mountain. So glad you got out safe with that heavy load of camp plus venison and antlers! Hope to see you on the mountain again someday, either that rugged mountain or another one. God bless, brother. Thanks for sharing your hunting adventures. You're representing the best of our hunting traditions.

[@glennjohnston1878]

"God is so good to me!"....AMEN Brother!!! What a great hunt young fella!!!! God is so GOOD!!!!!!!!

[@chuckminick9511]

Found your channel recently and I'm really enjoying it. I'm a old bowhunter from Arkansas and getting towards the end of a lifelong love of hunting and going on these adventures with you makes me smile . We may be a country apart and 40 years different but we are Brothers thru Jesus Christ , I love how you give the glory to God our father. Keep up the good work and thank you for bringing me along .

[@RanchKings]

Hey man I’m gonna be near Arkansas for college and looking to do some public bow hunting, do you recommend trying it?

[@JeffreyMota]

Emotion, gratitude, precision, effort, technique, friends and family... this channel is the best

[@jbbad4004]

Samong Yang, the man, the myth, the legend! I’ve watched you since you were just a forky and now you are a full blown 4x4 with eye guards. I’m am dam proud of you brother! This a great harvest and blessing from our Savior and I’m glad you came out unscathed. The Lord is definitely walking with you and may he bless you with more to come!! Ps. I love your equipment and hunting setup videos. Please do more if you can. Also maybe how you zero your rifle and correct for trajectory at distance. It’ll be great to learn from the expert.

[@SamongOutdoors]

2023 Gear Dump Video next week and the review of the 7 PRC the following week!

[@ServeNProtect]

I have a question: why do you wear glasses but can aim and shoot a gun so accurately? I'm also nearsighted but I can't do that. Please help me answer, thank you.@@SamongOutdoors

[@SamongOutdoors]

@@ServeNProtect I honestly have never had an issue with glasses. What exactly are you dealing with? Are you unable to see clearly through the scope, or just simply having a hard time to put the bullet in the right spot?

[@aetimberpine]

@@SamongOutdoorshey samong, because of your videos I want to get back into hunting and get my kids started. After your gear dump, would you consider making a getting starred video. What do you think we should focus on first as we get started. Since hunting season is pretty much over, what could we slowly start getting first? Gun, pack, camo, etc. Thank you and blessing brother!

[@MrGT3]

​@aetimberpine don't worry about camo. The highend gear is great, but not at all necessary. Get a nice frame pack and good boots if you are doing backcountry hunts. I prefer Exo packs, but Stone Glacier, Kuiu, Kifaru, Mystery Ranch, etc. all make good packs.

[@elkdeerfish]

Literally, this is one of the best vids I've watched in quite a while. Public land, hard work, and emotion make some of the best hunts ever hands down. I was so excited to see your emotions and success.Congrats on such an amazing hunt!!

[@georgelorman]

WOW! I don't know where to begin. Solo hunt, heavy pack, elevation, filming, tracking the deer, using topo maps, potential other dangerous wildlife, making the shot, packing out...I could go on forever. This appears like a made for TV show but better. I love this. Keep it coming brother. Awesome!

[@kmerkingdomfilms]

Samong hunting is is fun to watch.

[@michaelmaynard8079]

Good for you Samong!! This was fun to be along with you on the journey.

[@CandelarioSanchez-ji1qq]

I can literally sense your good heart and how great-full you are to the lord in gratitude for your harvest that speaks volumes of you brother I always thank the lord myself when he allows me to harvest a deer so that I can share of the meat with family back home keep them great videos coming 👍

[@michaellai2062]

Samong, you are absolutely incredible. If I were 30 years younger I'd ask to join you. But at 75 I think I'll just enjoy watching your hunts.

[@marshalhedin7538]

dude, hard core!! you should be very proud of yourself. noone can take this away from you, you earned it

[@DrDanTDC]

Samong, you are one of the best ambassadors for this lifestyle we all enjoy. Well done.

[@pavman617]

2:13 you never need to apologize for the content that's missing. Your vids are amazing and we understand that things happen especially when solo. Keep up the amazing work that you do.

[@MrSharky58]

This is inspirational content. I'm 66 and currently not fit enough for hunting that involves serious elevation. But this content inspired me to start walking 10K three times a week with a weighted back pack to regain some fitness for at least one more alpine hunt. Our rut in Aus is in March so I still have time to work on my fitness. Thank you!

[@alejandro_juarez1]

I like these types of videos, all natural, no music in the background 👍

[@vangkong0]

Congratulations brother!!! It’s a remarkable accomplishment especially considering that you pack in and packed out solo!!! Congratulations again, hard work pays off.

[@pacificnorthwesthunter5369]

I love that you always give the glory to God! Great video young man! God bless.

[@johnnyhatch9052]

Your approach to hunting is the absolute best. No hunting over corn piles from a blind for you. Thank you for posting.

[@raymonvance1849]

Congratulations, what an amazing story even without the kill shot. You are really good at what you do.

[@STRThermal]

You are one hard working hunter. God truly blessed you this hunt. I was looking for a movie tonight and I found and watched this instead. Well done.

[@isaacschelthelm]

Just found your channel and have watched a few videos now. This is probably the best, most honest hunting channel on KZbin. Please don't change and keep doing what you're doing! Love the content. congrats on the beautiful buck!

[@micahs68]

Well done! You are a genuine blessing and superb example for every generation of the hunting community.

[@lonnygehring3043]

Absolutely amazing hunt! Congrats on the beautiful buck. You really earned it. Isn't it a really cool feeling to be out there all alone and know you can only depend on you to get it all done. "Miserable is memorable" Love that quote because when its all over, the tough hunts are the most memorable. No worries on the footage. You fully captured the flavor of the hunt.

[@Heeman5]

At 52 years of age, (7 years ago) I finally experienced the peace and accomplishment of doing it alone. Never thought of going solo in my younger years. Time is running out for me, you have to take some risks but it’s worth it. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have found my real self or reached my accomplishments or goals. I still do it with friends but now I prefer by myself. Every day I say my life is complete, the rest is gravy. 💪🏼🤙🏼

[@doubled6595]

@30:56 the visceral gravity of the harvest is intense! Congratulations Samong! Thanks for sharing!

[@rockyfern]

I love this channel. Your commitment is unreal, your reaction so genuine. Absolute 🔨. Congrats

[@JohnGodwin-i7u]

Well done. Positive mental attitude is 90 percent of the battle. Praise the Lord!

[@domitnate1997]

Awesome video man! I think the view of the hunter while taking the shot makes it more real for the me. It capture the moment and emotion well

[@St311AyAN9]

I think not having the other footage adds to the suspense and excitement cause we can only hear from you on how big that buck is but us never being able to see it til you actually got to it. Was so anxious to see you get hands on it to show us how big it actually is.

[@babekharouni1480]

Congratulations! You're always awesome even without the lost footage the video is very enjoyable and amazing. Great job brother. Wishing you all the best ❤

[@lumptoast]

Samong, you are the bomb man. I have never gotten a deer in my life. It's on my bucket list. I hope I get one this year. Thanks for inspiring me to keep going!

[@Itsinmywalls]

Man, I discovered your channel maybe a few days ago and I have been binging your videos like crazy. I don’t get to hunt much at all let alone do the things you do. I will live vicariously through you with your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing, Samong. I also appreciate your thanks to the Lord on every hunt. Don’t see that much anymore. God bless.

[@lawrencejchristie6193]

Just the best. Period. A great adventure - terrific info. - great camera work. Thank you, thank you.

[@markmortimore7014]

Absolutely the best video you have ever done!! Congrats on a buck of a lifetime. If anybody deserves it you do!!

[@huntthetop]

Great job on the solo hunt! And to film it all makes it all the more challenging. God rewarded you with an awesome buck and I was appreciative of your gratitude and acknowledgement. Well earned my man, well deserved 🙌🏻

[@Kert227]

Bravo Samong 👏. You're wit has inspired me to consider hunting. I really enjoy your story telling, and seeing the emotions associated with them. This channel is very underrated. Keep going!!!

[@vitalracing_fuji8954]

The intensity, focus and determination. This vid got my heart pumping! Awesome vid bro.

[@brewster84067]

Wow - amazing. I could feel your anticipation, then the excitement of the thump. Unbelievable - congrats!

[@clees_outdoors]

Even though I couldn’t see what you were shooting, I understood your work from past videos. It actually made it that much more exciting for it to be a surprise this time around.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Gotta get my man to 100k subs this fall!!! I mean we gotta!!! It's so deserved!! Over 300 videos on KZbin, fantastic content. Mr Samong should ABSOLUTELY have over 100k subs,🙏🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@lnt5174]

I really love your videos, you show the hard work and the passion we have as hunters.. Great job, nice buck !

[@andymicka9065]

I really appreciate your excitement and joy you show in all of your hunts. Thank you for sharing.

[@ryananderson2860]

I’ve been waiting forever for this film!! It was a great film even without all of your footage! You do an amazing job! Congrats on a stud buck!!!

[@MI-Surveyor]

Your videos are very inspirational and your determination and positive attitude are second to none. Keep up the good work.

[@timberg7377]

Outstanding bud, you truly don't need that other footage, you still told the story of the hunt... It's not about the kill shot, as you know. Much respect, bud.

[@y0ItzAn7]

Congrats Samong! That's a stud you got there. Keep dropping them killer videos and bucks. Hope to see a remaster version of this hunt. Keep rocking man!

[@joshwarren3341]

Thanks for sharing, still awesome to watch! Def. A dandy for WA State Congrats.

[@hmmmmm17]

I like how you didn’t give away what you got in your thumbnail, it added to the suspense for sure. Congratulations

[@TouLee-t7k]

Congratulations Samong what a buck and shot placement god is good good is great. Mann I miss back country hunting as well but seeing your content puts me nexts to you too so I guess one day I’ll come back from retirement to hike those mountains cliffs again. Good Shot 🫡💪🏼👋

[@gabrielcantu3772]

Dude.....another classic! It's funner than hell for me to watch you, your family and friends share these experiences! Keep it up, man, and stay safe out there!

[@96ss47]

Hey Samong, love your videos, great buck! I too love Mule deer. My area is draw only so i don't get to hunt them often. Keep up the good work! God is good!

[@AllThingsWild.]

Wow, what a hunt samong. Your hard work and dedication did it again. Even though you don't have the footage of that deer, I felt as if I was seeing the buck as you shot him, just from the way you told the story of the hunt. I'm 17 and my dream is going on solo backcountry hunts just like you do. I've learned a lot from you, so thanks!

[@itsjussjerry]

Hell yeah brother!! I don’t even hunt but everytime a new video comes out, I grab a drink and ignore my kids. 😂

[@jdonez8347]

Good stuff young king, continue to do your thing playa, very inspirational stuff. I admire your commitment to the hunt and video recording and editing skills.

[@ronaldmcguire1581]

Oh my! Congratulations on a great buck. Solo packing in the dark is tough. At 75 just can’t risk it. You bring back some good memories.

[@chronicoutdoorsman8979]

You're so pumped up afterwards even when you doing your interview sitting with the buck. Good job bro

[@MrGT3]

Unbelievable hunt. I loved this version of the video, so I can't even imagine how good the next one will be.

[@owenimhoff5854]

Every single video of your i watch never disappoints and always is great content. I always get excited to get another notification to watch another one of your videos. Great buck !!!

[@josephflores6362]

[@bowandbeyond]

This was a super video. Thank you for taking us along your adventures.

[@Lvbackroads]

Holy! Great buck Unfortunate about the lost footage and that you didn’t put out the show you wanted but it was still a quality show. The elation and happiness that you were able to share with us a true gift. That moment for me brought back some special memories of being with my son on his first animals. Thankyou for sharing and congrats on a beauty buck and a memory that will remain a most special one to you 👍🏻 Looking forward to your next one

[@wildfoodoutdoors]
