Backstrap great selection Oliver

[@9ub6apdeganb19]

Came for the moose, stayed for the flute.

[@lenhowl]

Excellent video, loved watching.

[@delbertletendre9504]

raised in trout lake an peerless lake.. who ever posted this video. hope theres more vids that could be posted .

[@fightingcock8096]

There provincial archives, so ya there’s probably a lot of them

[@markclausen2230]

I barely noticed the flute till folks complained about it. I enjoyed seeing the difference in how they dressed game compared to me.

[@nevertoopoortotour.3033]

It looked like they tied that moose to the horses tail

[@charlesleblanc6638]

That was real moose hunting, no four wheelers, or big comfortable campers with all the luxury of home brought to the woods. There would be very few so called moose hunters now if they had to ruff it like this ! They also used the entire animal and not just go pick up their box of meat at the Butchers.

[@jakecarpenter555]

There are still many authentic hunters! But Just yesterday I had to defend my nabours land from trespasser, 4 middle aged men straight from cabelas! So I know what you mean!

[@sherlockbonez]

Easier to keep a quad than a horse now a days lol.

[@dalanwanbdiska6542]

I need to get a moose before winter time. It looked like they had a 303 brit. I use 30.06 for all game.

[@MDR-hn2yz]

In the 60’s they probably had access to a lot of cheap Lee Enfield rifles and.303 ammo. No moose here, but we’re 2 weeks out from deer season. Good luck. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@jeremypomroy2307]

That is definately a 303, I have one too hah. I still need to get a moose myself. Good luck getting your moose

[@donaldatkinson7937]

Yeah, I was thinking 303 myself, my first deer rifle was a 303 British, about 30 years ago, cost $35.00 at Rose's department store. Still have it, and it has dropped several deer. Very rugged guns.

[@pololedodo7981]

303. Cheap, precises, reliables and available everywhere. They use ww2 ammo, not fency mushrooms bullets. Still does the job. I hunted with Indians in 1976 in Saskatchewan near Buffalo Narrows. I will never forget it.

[@dalanwanbdiska6542]

I did get a moose but with a browning 270. Semi auto. Im using sks 762 x 39 , 123 grain fmj is all i got for rounds. No special hunting bullets needed. Its Elk season this month so Ill be going out soon. Might just use my 243 savage axis2 xp. 80 grains gets the job done.

[@redneck4200000]

This isn’t too far from where I live, dope video!

[@David_Griggs]

Look at how thick the mosquitos are....it must have been maddening.

[@rikacoetzer8135]

Nice vid 👍👍 Greatings South Africa

[@davemadden4028]

Oliver Beaver! Nice handle junior

[@frankzasadny1898]

Great video depicting a old school moose hunt.

[@LylaMoos2012]

That damn flute

[@johnsaleh1720]

The flute is awesome

[@mjuberian]

Haven't had any moose eyeballs in ages. On the way home no moose will be killed unless we see one!

[@F___ITALL29]

The part that amazes me Is how effortlessly the one dude drug a 500 - 600 lb moose out of the water.

[@wayne3340]

He tied a rope around the head, then tied it to the horse's tail.

[@dionysis84]

My elk i just shot was 644lbs and that was average for a bull elk. I seen a larger one that was almost 900lbs at the check station. Id imagine moose gotta weigh well over 1200lbs

[@F___ITALL29]

Alls i know is I didn't see the rope but in the end up its still taking some power to move it

[@bobd8553]

LOL it was tied to the horses tail.

[@davemadden4028]

Bitch’n flute’n!! Great old video

[@davemadden4028]

Some “jugg’n” would have been a nice touch😉

[@zzz7zzz9]

jethro tull approves.

[@MrSrtman18]

Where’s Oliver now? He’s probably in his 50’s, still stashing backstraps down his throat no doubt.

[@colejackson6282]

lol

[@delbertletendre9504]

oliver lives in peerless lake with his wife gladys okemow -houle ,, my in-laws..

[@darrenmisick3493]

very good video!!

[@keen9629]

A pretty good video, would have been better without the flute.

[@danielobriot3116]

Happyness is a hot flute

[@myliege6223]

It's got that hip flute. 😎 🤌

[@sweetdrahthaar7951]

I read your comment right during a real jazzy part😂

[@SwampDonkey530]

Great video 👍got any more ?

[@Bushy_P]

What antlers?

[@outdoorsman812]

That was a yearling bull you can see his antler bumps,. Probably harvested early summer

[@Bushy_P]

@@outdoorsman812 well yeah, but still.

[@delbertletendre9504]

bach in those days alters didn’t mean anything to them, hunting moose was a way of survival,, an fishing/trapping.. lets foward to 2020 ,, it’s about antlers for a lot of hunters these days,, wish we were still in the 60/70’s

[@Bushy_P]

@@delbertletendre9504 I’m literally just commenting about the narrators comments on the antlers. Don’t read into to much.

[@edwardbright5894]

🤠👍 Native American.

[@grisseldog]

Enjoyed video No need for flute

[@marcusmccomas3826]

Holy shit Gilbert gottfried is a hunter.

[@sorshiaemms5959]

NICE TO SEE HUNTING VIDEOS SOMETHING THE KARENS CAN T STAND THIS IS THE CANADA I KNOW

[@rickdecoteau7420]

The good life!!

[@guyb7005]

Lloyd Robertson narrating

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

I disliked the flute but liked the rest. Never was a fan of the flute. Probably started back in high school. I felt there was no need for that in the band. Twittering away, unheard once the rest of the brass starter pounding away.

[@snaggletooth7031]

Dont me to be ingnorant ,but where was this vid from

[@delbertletendre9504]

trout lake alberta.

[@ThePauliebuck]

A time when Natives didnt play the victim card.

[@johndowe7003]

No shit lol

[@frankthetank8947]

Hooking the moose to the horses tail?does this hurt the horses??

[@johndowe7003]

Nope

[@berniebass3575]

And those where the days, and no longer, now it's shot and leave.

[@scottw5315]

Pretty sure that's not only illegal but I don't know any hunter who would do such a thing.

[@conflict7269]

Thats a small 17 yr old

[@nevertoopoortotour.3033]

Never too poor to tour

[@blackmonday738]

That little boy is like wth is this, it's not Tonka by no means! And for these ppl, that moose is young, sad really.

[@wayne3340]

Old moose is tough eating.

[@wayne3340]

@bronchoped1 what is sad, is when they can't find a moose to feed their family. An empty stomach doesn't care how old the moose is.

[@frankzasadny1898]

That young moose is the best kind to eat. Great video depicting a time before all hunters had skill for real bush survival when meat was not bought at a supermarket. Hope to see more video of old time hunting.

[@mikehewitt2146]

Ya sad if you don't know anything about hunting. Meat or survival not so sad if you do

[@stangottimckay877]

It's to feed the family. Not like walking into a barn n pick any old cow.

[@NK-bc5xw]

First Nations called Indians and made to live in settlements in disgrace in their own continent!!
