Sad to say I cant imagine Sports Illustrated considering a hunting story in todays world. It is so great that you take the time to document and take us back into the great days of before. One can detect a humbleness of family pride and certainly well deserved. This documents the foundation of the Eastman passion.

You are one of the few I can give a thumbs up before watching! Having grown up in the West Kootenay area of B.C., hunts like you show are what I dreamed of since I was a kid! I have always enjoyed your dads videos, they were always the best! Thank you to the Eastman family for your honourable portrayal of wilderness hunting.

I saw Gordon in Spokane narrate this movie. I was 14 years old. It inspired me to dream about hunting in the North and eventually I was able to take two sheep in the Mackenzie mountains. It was a moving emotional experience. I cried when I shot my first sheep and I was 52 years old.

Hello Mike. This brings back some great memories of my youth. I was age 10-12 in 1964 thru 1966, and I'd often go to the local movie theater to enjoy hunting adventure films. My enthusiasm for hunting grew strong at that time. I'm certain that some of those films were made by your dad, so Thanks for the memories.

Just got my guiding certification in the mail yesterday, im BC born and raised but interested in starting out in the Yukon (may have my foot in the door to one outfit that runs one in Yukon) and NWT. Are you a resident of one of the territories while guiding or did you come in from another province or the States? Which outfits if you don't mind me askin' of course?

I watch a Gordon Eastman film at least once a month. I saw him narrate this film in the school auditorium when I was a kid. A bit cheesy by today’s standards, but it had a huge impression on me. Whenever I’m far from a road hunting, I think of his films, ‘Challenging the Northwest Territories’, High, Wild and Free. They are my favorites.

Love the old film pictures. The newer style of photography reminds me of Tammy Faye Bakker. Look it up if you're younger than 40.

When they went up there we saw about 10 sheep. When they leave, only 1.
