Nothing more rewarding than helping your children be successful. Way to crush it!

[@bryanleid6941]

To watch your child evolve from what you teach them as a Father is about the most special experience ever. Just like the next generation buck you showed after the buck was killed, his offspring was very close by. My hope is the same for my offspring as well as yours, that they will always remain close.

[@4arrowsoutdoors]

My daughter is also my hunting buddy! I get way more enjoyment out of watching her harvest animals than if I were to. Awesome job capturing this experience with your daughter. Thanks for all the great content!

[@radnrev5851]

I love seeing dads teach their kids to be tough! This is a great example for me with my young kids. Thanks Ryan!

[@pacr75spnl]

Nothing better than being in the grate outdoors with the ladies we love the most. Congratulations

[@morrow.m]

What a fantastic hunt. My daughter is almost 9. I hope to take her hunting soon. How special this hunt was. 🙌

[@rogerjackson4905]

Bringing your family into your ventures is one of the things I love most about your Videos . I have been a hunter for most of my life and found it to be more fulfilling when my children were able to experience the hunting adventures with me

[@TimJones-zv4ux]

Nice to see a Man teach his children the tricks of the trade, a rare trait these days.

[@puckshcnick]

I started both of my girls hunting with me at very young ages. My oldest daughter is away at college and has found ways to get out and hunt them when the opportunity presents itself and my youngest is a sr. In high school and plans to do the same at college. What you’re doing is providing a lifelong lifeline to your heart. You will never have to worry about her running off to join the circus because of weeks like that. Keep being a present dad.

[@alannall1]

Hunting with my children is awesome. Proud of both of them for "making meat."

[@brannonbrown22]

Congratulations, Pailey!

[@user-tb2td4gt8f]

My 4 year old daughter loves to watch these films with me! Hopefully we will be doing the same thing here in a few years!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Very cool! I hope for that as well

[@dmille12]

Cheris these moments, they are special. Before you know it, they are adults.

[@timhowell9237]

I just turned 40 last year, and hunting has always had a selfish side that you were always seeking out the most gratifying experience for yourself. Now, though I still seek that experience. I find the greatest of all joy is living those things through my kids, whether it's through hunting, fishing, wrestling or baseball. There is no greater adventure than helping them realize and achieve their potential. Great hunt, really gets the emotions going!

[@WilliamMclain-hj6ux]

I'm 55 years old, got a 14 year old daughter as well , but no way could I drag her out on an adventure like this with me!! Lol, enjoy these years my friend...

[@danwiley6204]

Ryan, this is a great video on so many levels. I never was able to get my 2 daughters to become hunters. The oldest shot a forky at 12 years of age on a hunt with my brother and me. And never would go for big game again. 😢She felt sorry for the” poor guy”. It is great you have hunting as a central part of your life and family values. I envy your experiences and documenting them on KZbin! Congratulations 🎉

[@colbyread5484]

This will be the first year my daughter and son get to carry rifles. They watched this video with me and it got them excited for the hunts.

[@danbump1616]

I have never raised a girl, only having one son and 3 grandsons, but these films show that with a great role model or father figure girls can be every bit of the outdoors person any boy can be! Ryan may be the best girl dad on the plant! Very inspiring, thank you for the great content.

[@garaldfillmore5026]

Nothing like watching your own kids work hard for something and succeed! P is stone cold on that gun! Great shot young lady, and awesome buck. Congrats!

[@burtonfowler]

The way you coached Pailey into taking that shot was second to none. That logic backed, cold blooded confidence is infectious.

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thanks! It’s worked great so far🙌🏻

[@veilside180sx]

Congrats Pailey & Ryan. Excellent tutelage….something every Father strives for.

[@raulramirez1876]

My father took me hunting when I was younger, some of the best memories of my life have been in the mountains with my dad. Loved the video

[@markymarc521]

Some of the most miserable moments (Frigid weather in this case) are some of the most memorable moments in my opinion. It tests your will and I believe we are rewarded for those trials. It may not be in the exact hunt but it comes around and rewards you for your hard work. Nice job to you all, fun video to watch!

[@chuckchapman5580]

I love watching your family adventures. What an amazing way to memorialize them for future generations. I watch them with my kids and dream of big adventures.

[@jmmorris6364]

Three years in the making! That is perseverance. Thanks for sharing the inspiring adventure!

[@imjamn5]

Ryan, what an awesome hunt congratulations to you and P! The memories that will last a lifetime time! The hunt was an absolute success! Three bucks all together! Couldn’t ask for better! 👊🏼👏🏼🔥☮️

[@gregwicks51]

Pretty cool! It's not a sacrifice taking our kids hunting. It's just a part of being a Dad! Love it.

[@StHealthyHunter]

So true

[@kqc8224]

Your daughter will never be far from you, even when you give her away on her special Wedding Day. You’ll probably have pictures to show all the guests of these memorable hunts. My youngest daughter and I fished when she was growing up. She is married off now with 2 little ones, to a Navy copter pilot. When he’s deployed, we still talk almost daily and I’m there to help her. It’s a joy. You’re making a lifetime friend out of “Pea”. Atta Boy! 😊

[@Keywan23]

Got my son his first muley last year and will never forget how that moment felt and how proud of him I was. This was a great video and brought me back to that moment. Thanks for sharing…

[@perryknetter8577]

I really enjoy the family hunts I Love the Father Daughter hunts God's Blessings on all your family's adventures

[@jamesmooney5348]

Yes in deed, to be pleased and proud of both your daughters and wife. Great job Ryan.

[@danturner3050]

Way to go Dad, I liked the way you gave her the decision on the big 4 by NOT telling her if you would shoot it. Congrats P!

[@ConnorCathcart]

My heart even started raisin when she took a breath too squeeze that trigger haha ! Congrats on the mule deer !

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thank you👍

[@pauld4010]

Congratulations!!! I’m glad Ms Pailey got her big 3 buck 🙌

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Great job Pailey!! Love seeing the younger folks hunting especially those young ladies. What a great mentor and Dad she has.

[@zacharyphelan]

I have a 8 month old daughter and a 9 year old son. I am way more excited to see them hunt and take them on hunts than my own hunts. Incredible video, very humble, tons of hard work. See you at the Western Bear Tour

[@outwest_]

Nothing better than taking and teaching the kids to love and respect it as much as you

[@lukerasmussen28]

Future girl dad here (May 2024). Can’t wait to show my daughter these videos, videos of other outdoorswomen, and pictures of her grandma hunting big bucks out west!

[@StHealthyHunter]

How cool! Congratulations

[@bryanrudick5097]

I really enjoyed your Daughter's quest for the Big 3. My first born was my Daughter Rhiannon and she started going out hunting with me at age 7. In California you have to be 12 years old to hunt big game. In 2010 on opening morning of her first eligible season, with her younger brother and myself watching in our binos, she shot a bedded 4×3 at first light that flopped over just like your Daughters. She's hunted with me every season since and has taking several CA Blacktails and one Montana Mule Deer 4x4. She has only missed one shot at a buck, and with that buck she downed it with the 2nd shot. She too has nerves of steel. There is really something special about hunting with ones Daughter. Unforunately there're many young girls who are left out of the experience in favor of their Brothers. Maybe your film will help change the minds of those Dad's, Uncles and Grandpas that think hunting is only for the Boys. Best of luck next season.

[@patwilliamson2809]

Congratulations Pailey on a BRUTE. I so look forward to these daddy daughter hunts, there is something extremely special about them, from making sure that was the one she wanted, to explaining the thermals. Congrats again P!!! #BIG3DOWN #GIRLDADSROCK

[@StHealthyHunter]

Couldn’t agree more . There’s something special about daughters

[@gregsanchez4602]

Ryan… you inspire us all to be better hunters, you inspire us all to be tougher, you inspire us all to have more drive, and after films like this, you inspire us all to be better fathers. “P” is extremely blessed to have a man like you in her life and I am grateful to have my own little girl that will benefit from your teachings, one KZbin video at a time. 🙏🏻

[@StHealthyHunter]

I appreciate that, thank so much for your kindness. 🙌🏻

[@jegjr59]

Excellent shot Pailey! It looked pretty darn cold, good job guys!

[@briantaylor6876]

It’s awesome to take kids out and see them excel. Also the patience with her and showing her the ropes is awesome

[@dargie12317]

I love to see daddy and sweet daughter go hunting together, so proud of you Paige. Keep it up!

[@tyorme]

Love the part where you say don’t click the poles- and it immediately happens. Brings back so many funny memories of hunting with my wife. Great buck and great shot.

[@shawnbillman4392]

Just like that your daughter is the StHealthy Huntress. That’s not just from taking her hunting. That’s from the parenting she’s had from you and Hillary. Congratulations to the parents for incredible parenting and congratulations to Pailey on an awesome buck!!!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thank you 🙌🏻

[@rnaizer]

It’s so important to take your kids out on your hunts! It’s an automatic watch for me! Seeing their excitement fuels their soul and ours as well! Love the way y’all’s history with this buck came full circle! God Bless!!

[@JoshuaLaney]

I like that Ryan is taking on his own style with these videos. Congratulations - I can’t wait to feel that same pride in my son taking an animal

[@LeviHemp]

Awesome to see the history and story with an individual target buck come to a close 3 years later!

[@jeremycarson8972]

What an exciting hunt. My daughters love watching Pailey hunt and they can’t wait until they are old enough to get out there.

[@dannytorres-nw9ut]

Congratulations Pailey. One of the greatest things a parent can do for a child is teach them about real life. Hunting is the best way to do it. Hunting is hard, disappointing, & not fair. Just like life. Lucky for us hunting shows you how to do hard things, hunting shows you how to control your emotions, & hunting shows you that doing your best is all you can do. Lessons that our kids can carry on throughout their life. Great job Lampers family, my daughter and I enjoyed this film very much!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Very well said. Thank you🙌🏻

[@OutDoors406]

So awesome to see a father teaching his daughter how to hunt for your food. Rare in these days! Loved the video!

[@outtherefilm]

That girl has it in her DNA to be gritty! Congrats on the successful hunt.

[@StHealthyHunter]

👍

[@thestomaot3379]

Something I can’t wait to do with my own kids, good to see parents out there still raising there kids right. Good film!

[@BrockPayton-wn7ly]

Perfect way to honor such a majestic buck. Great job Lampers family

[@charlieharris3887]

Congratulations Pailey! Such a great example for youth today! Keep it up

[@shacklesgone1]

Love the father daughter connection! Such a heart warming experience to watch.

[@chuckchauvin68]

Great time spent with your daughter! I appreciate all your filmed hunts but these are the best ones of all. All of my hunting is done with my son and daughter and would not change that for the world. All the memories we share in God's country are second to none. Thank you for being a good role model for many people! Keep family first and God bless you and your family!

[@david-ve4hd]

Great 👍 time's that are never forgotten. Had some of the best times in my life watching my own daughter grow into a woman and one of my best friends through our own hunting adventures. Now, I am enjoying those same times with my grandsons as they grow into young men. Savor and enjoy it all because it is fleeting. Thanks for such a wonderful film and letting us share those time's with you.

[@scottjensen8912]

Great video. This year I had the privilege of helping my 11 year old daughter get her first elk and antelope. It's great to see the kids succeed

[@codyjarmin5980]

Awesome buck, Awesome film. Congrats to you and Pailey!

[@user-ik3xv5nu3z]

Been taking my four kids deer hunting since they were barely talking. Every time I take my 14 year old daughter out in the woods I’m blown away at her grit. She’s tough. Like you said.

[@jonathanpratt779]

I have a baby girl due in may and these films get me dreaming of all the future holds. Thank you for sharing these experiences with all of us.

[@bonetats_official]

It really doesn’t get better than daddy daughter time in the hunting woods, hills , brush, or plains. Sitting down with my girls to watch this, because this is quality time like no other. Our girls are going to be tougher than 90% of the boys who will chase them. And that how a dad likes it to be. Congrats to all 3 of you on GREAT bucks!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Couldn’t agree more. Tough girls!🔥

[@bryantbanuet4887]

In these times of uncertainty and with so much chaos all around. Its truly comforting being able to watch a father and his daughter leave the madness of the world behind, and build unforgettable memories and build strong bonds. This is what lifes truly about. Congrats Pailey!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thank a ton, glad you enjoyed it

[@kadecleverley3172]

Proud dad moment right there! Can't wait for the day I get to chase critters around the hills with my kids! As funny as this sounds, I have dreams from time to time sitting on the mountain with my kids. Not a dad yet, but I can't wait for that and the memories that will come from our hunting adventures. Way to make it happen Pailey!

[@tylerlewis1949]

Nothing better than an old muley buck. Even better to do it with your daughter!! Congrats

[@jeddtibbitts1635]

Loved how you showed your confidence in Pailey to make the shot. Way to go Dad!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thank you!

[@mojomike3913]

Taking my boys hunting and watching them have some success has always been the best memories and I enjoy these videos of you and your family for that reason. Success hunting is rewarding but helping your kids have success is so much sweeter.

[@WilliamBadger-vr2bv]

Another fine example of how to raise strong women! Love these films

[@andrewschaffran8428]

Hunting with our kids watching their experiences and excitement is the best.

[@mjphale218]

My 1.5 year old daughter and I love these dad and daughter hunts!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@WyldsideRadio]

Congrats young lady! It's always a wonderful thing to watch you harvest not just this buck we have watched you harvest all 3 with your father. You know have something to always remember that hunting is not so much a sport like Alot of people make out to be. Hunting is a family of memories.

[@bingoheyletsgohuntin]

Had a very similar hunt last year with my 16yr old son and only wish I had it documented like this. Very, very cool!

[@dennym]

Always great content! Nothing is more rewarding as a Father than to create memories with your children like these. Far different category which consist of your daughter's personal tenacity to get the job done!

[@doublelunger1978]

This dropped the day I finished hunter Ed with my daughter here in Washington. I can feel the pride you have knowing she's healthy tenacious and tough enough to do well life as well as hunting. We are starting our quest this yr. Yuns just finished a cool quest successfully. Great job. Nice to see kids with no quit in them! God bless. This was moving

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thank you for this. Definitely full of pride. I wish you guys the best as well

[@michaelkilpatrick3141]

Totally awesome Pailey!! You go girl Great shot! Love it Ryan! God bless

[@shanejaeckels350]

no better feeling than seeing your child grow into someone you can feel proud of!! Nice work

[@lonnygehring3043]

The Ryan and Pailey hunts are epic! Seeing the return of the Big 3, well, you couldn't have scripted it any better. Pailey is one tough cookie and one heckuva cool shooter. Well done Pailey. Ryan, it's easy to see you and Hillary are raising a fine young lady. This video made my day. Inspirational. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@brittanyberry5781]

Congrats to all 3 of you. Cant wait to make these memories with our girls when they’re old enough

[@traviscore8681]

Absolutely love the story and seeing you lead your daughter into the hunting realm. Need more fathers like this these days. God bless

[@dreazydre6360]

Heck yeah ! All the years leading to the moment of the shot ! Her desire for a big Buck is fulfilled , I can’t wait to see what she goes after next .

[@scottlipp2568]

What an amazing story!!!! It’s so great seeing Pailey make an incredible shot on such a big old crusty buck!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thank you

[@SullyFam]

Congrats and Great job documenting the hunt - nothing more rewarding than hunting with your children!

[@jacecrossley1738]

What an amazing experience to share together. So good for us Fathers to see the importance of spending time with our children sharing what we love. Great film!

[@jakedaley3511]

Great shot P!! Never fails though… “Don’t clack your poles were getting close now” “Clack” 😂 What an amazing buck and an even better relationship between you two. Congratulations!

[@robbievaldez7496]

❤ so impressed with her shooting and how she is willing to put in miles and deal with cold. Special to create those memories with your kids.

[@SarahPickard-jl7oi]

Amazing to see the love of the outdoors instilled in youth in this day and age when most are lost in a screen.

[@StHealthyHunter]

Thanks, It’s so important we do this👍

[@kosandamatt]

This year will be my daughter’s first hunt here in Montana. We couldn’t be more excited after watching this.

[@zachbutler9628]

A well lived life and memory right here. I would consider your experience as the closest thing to heaven on earth. Grateful that you have shared with us all such an amazing memory with your daughter.

[@davidmitchell9979]

Congratulations Pailey! I really liked hearing the coaching that Ryan did throughout the hunt. Great job teaching your daughter everything that makes the hunt, not just dragging her along to be a shooter. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks!

[@matthewpickelsimer9184]

Ryan, sharing the love of the hunt with your kids is what it’s all about. Some folks think because you have a daughter they are unable to get after it for whatever reason. This hunt proves that “theory” wrong! I too have a daughter who is 9 and am even more inspired to take her on my adventures. Keep up the outstanding family based content.

[@StHealthyHunter]

Girls are capable no doubt about that. They can be just as tough and might be even better at the shooting 😀

[@rmaki85]

With two young girls of our own, slowly introducing them to the outdoors, hunting and fishing, has been a great experience for our family. Hoping they continue to be engaged, and we can continue to take on adventures as a family.

[@StHealthyHunter]

Love hearing it🙌🏻

[@michaelherscovitch911]

Ryan, Great film documenting your experience with your daughter. Hunting with your kid is tough to beat. These are experiences of a lifetime that you'll never forget. Thank you for sharing. What an awesome buck! Congrats to Pailey and you on this success. How cool to be able to find Big 3 again. Everything in life happens for a reason.

[@nathanmonseu]

Unreal video, Ryan. Love that it highlighted the relationship you've got with your daughter just as much as it highlighted the hunt itself. Thank you

[@stevenfowles4519]

Great hunt! Having history with an animal adds another layer to how special this hunt is. Thanks for sharing

[@iangoodbla7054]

Nothing better than watching your own kid succeed at something that takes so much hard work and dedication! Nice buck guys it was the nicest buck out of the tree lol!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Agreed

[@user-hi1hj8jt6o]

I loved the pep talk before the shot! Great father daughter moment.

[@johnhaswell8183]

Great film, love watching the youth being involved! Congrats on the deer Pailey!

[@LoganDomino-cs7hn]

Reminds me of hunting with my dad as a young man in Townsend. It's hard to be thankful enough for experiences like this.
