It was a pretty magnificent experience. Thank you Marshal. 😀

[@PhillipJ]

That moment those elk crossed the river with fog!👍

[@BullitTom]

Love the day 3 shots, landscape with animals in, grand 😵

Indeed.

[@jamesskintauy6773]

Great video as usual. Loved the 3rd day payoff and not just finally finding the bears. The elk crossing the stream is epic! Loved your bear photo in the huckleberries!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much James. I really loved spending time with the bears but that Elk experience was pretty magical.

[@georgecarpenter4126]

Another enjoyable video, Josh.

[@JOHNDIIORIO]

What an adventure! A little jealous. I need to make the drive from Vegas

[@BayouJosh]

It’s worth it

[@nathanwatsonphotography]

Awesome video Josh, great work. Looked like an awesome 4 days in the wilderness!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you. It was a wonderful experience

[@kostraat]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You tell a story in each of them. It doesn't hurt that I learn a little each time as well.

[@BayouJosh]

Glad you like them! thank you Bob.

[@cindyconlin1]

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much Cindy

[@frederickdebban4493]

I’d love to make a trip to RMNP. Or Estes park. Thanks as always

[@davidvdbroeck_nature8305]

[@jasonfraser3572]

Amazing shots and love your style of videos, its like bing on a journey with you.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much Jason. I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@pamelaproffitt8484]

I have to laugh. I traveled to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Oregon, Wyoming, and Colorado. I prayed for bears to photograph, no bears! I did however get to photograph a mama and her two cubs in Fancy Gap Virginia……GO FIGURE!! Awesome work by the way. Congratulations on finding those bears!

[@BayouJosh]

It’s funny that way. 😆

[@KevinNordstrom]

I told my oldest daughter I have a sudden urge to go watch Yogi Bear. She said what is that? I failed as a father. lmao Great Shots brother. Ive always said Id love to Go out west for wildlife or even Alaska. MAn would THAT be a gorgious adventure. Till then, It will just be my backyard. The wife wants to one day get away from cold winter and move to florida. I told her no way im giving up a little soltitude with wildlife in four seasons for massive amounts of more people and summer 365. lol......Cheers man! I look forward to your wildlife adventures. The sound of Elk is mesmorizing

[@BayouJosh]

I wouldn’t trade four seasons for Florida ever again. Four seasons is therapeutic.

[@KevinNordstrom]

@@BayouJosh crazy how the mi d of a photographer works. Summer is my least favorite time of year. Now till may is heaven

[@dman_gonefishing]

So epic!! I been in 2008 but my photography has come a long way since then as well as my gear. A magical place for sure I need to go back!! We also spent the week prior in Yellowstone. Thanks for the great video content...

[@wilbertmangmang7741]

I love your voice. Its like country man narrating.

[@BayouJosh]

Awe...thank you so much.

[@ThomasWeiskirch]

Very well filmed. Lots of beauty in this movie. Thumbs up. 👍 Greeting, Thomas

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you very much!

[@shot2death876]

Have camera take wildlife and landscape. Nice video from London UK.

[@MarkoRoppo]

Great video again!

[@JaminTaylor]

Elk would be amazing. Someday I'll visit down south and get Elk, Pronghorn, Bison, and those little wimpy moose you guys get down there.

[@BayouJosh]

come on man. You can sleep on my couch. 😀

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

One of the most beautiful wildlife videos here. The last clip of Bear amidst red leaves left me speechless. Thanks for sharing.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much. You’re too kind.

[@DanRaines]

Great video and congratulations on finding your bear.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you Dan. I appreciate it.

[@Shubhachethan]

Another great video!!

[@Tees463]

Wow great video !! Thanks Josh !

[@angelogarciajr5356]

Great job Josh! I was sure you would have camp robbers in camp? Also known as gray jay, grey jay, or whisky jack. I wanna go there again one day! sigh

[@susanstevenson8333]

Love it! My favorite place…so relaxing. Just got back from the park myself; fall is awesome in the Tetons. Heard the elk bugling for the first time. Thanks for sharing!

[@BayouJosh]

Indeed a fantastic place! Thank you Susan 😀

[@golamashraf1464]

Awesome journey, and some great shots indeed! Love your unassuming narrative style, coupled with some stellar images, across the last few videos I have seen from your channel. Keep it up!

[@BayouJosh]

Glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate it.

[@craigbartschi4990]

Great video Josh and fantastic photo's, hard to beat GTNP in the fall, sad I didn't make it over there this year. I will be watching this one several times!

[@BayouJosh]

It really is a magical place! Thank you so much Craig.

[@kennethlui2268]

Walking eight miles with the big lens? I would take my 100-500 lens. You sure had the ambition and energy.

[@BayouJosh]

If only I had a smaller lens.🙂

[@BPaparazzi]

Fantastic video. Felt like I was there. wonderful scenes wow.

[@BayouJosh]

Thanks Rob. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@axelmertens7762]

Thank you for another stunning video ! The spectacular show of the bison, elk swimming the foggy river and then of course the bear at long last! Nature therapy at its best!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you my friend. I appreciate it so much.

[@samtebbutt8903]

Amazing photos

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you Sam.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Great video man! Glad you got those bears in the end. Loved those “not-landscape” shots 😂

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you Jeremy. I hope you’re getting better. Can’t wait to see what you make next.

[@orionorion2405]

Nice work Josh . Excellent !!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much 😊

[@holyfirephotography6493]

Fantastic presentation brother. You definitely have all bases covered. With you video skills, photography and narration this video kept me watching and enjoying every second.

[@BayouJosh]

Well thank you. I sure do appreciate it. thanks for taking the time.

[@ramgopalmannem6249]

Great scenery,!!!

[@ahmeddan4678]

I enjoy these videos man, getting to know more about you and how your photogrphy journy is going, keep it going

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you my friend

[@DIBYAJYOTI04]

Absolutely beautiful work...i love with your videos.❤️❤️❤️

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much 😊

[@RobJorg]

14:32 good shot

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you Rob.

[@digitaltechvs]

Great work,thanks for share,keep going.

[@BayouJosh]

I appreciate it my friend. Thank you.

[@churchsnaturescenes7864]

Amazing clip at the end with the black bear and the red leaves all around the bear! I have a feeling someone will eventually pick you up because of your voice and or your filming skills. You seem to have a very friendly "radio" voice I guess you could say. Maybe you should consider doing a documentary on just one bird or just one animal eventually. That would be very interesting. Great work!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I thoroughly enjoy doing these videos. It’s so nice to know folks like you are enjoying it. 😊

[@Mark-Huigen]

You may call it low hanging fruit but the bison shots are magical! Wow, you really know how to make a trip!

[@BayouJosh]

Awe, thank you Mark. 😃

[@mikehobbs624]

Thanks for sharing Josh. Stunning video, spectacular scenery and wildlife.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much Mike.

[@martinhild]

Beautiful!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you Martin.

[@kpittsmtb]

That is your best video yet! Packed full of gorgeous shots "that weren't landscapes" with amazing landscape. Your artistic competency levels rise every week! Congrats on the stunning bear encounter...finally.

[@BayouJosh]

Wow Ken!!! Thank you so much.

[@Vahagraphy]

So educational and your quality is amazing. Good work Josh. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@BayouJosh]

Thanks brother. I appreciate it.

[@Vahagraphy]

@@BayouJosh You finally got to see the bears at the end. That was awesome. Your content is better and cleaner than what I see on NG, and you are a one man band. Can you imagine what you can do with a crew, budget, and time. You are amazing.

[@BayouJosh]

@@Vahagraphy We can all dream. Its just a fun hobby. as you know, we are the producers, editors, film crew, and talent of the channel. it is a tough balance and I wonder at times if I'm up for it. Thanks brother. I look forward to our sit down on your channel. I've been watching some of your videos this morning. Good Stuff!

[@Vahagraphy]

@@BayouJosh Thank you my bro. Looking forward to it.

[@fredericbeudot822]

One of your very best videos, if not the best so far. And I am so glad you found your bears - all the pictures are stunning. Since I live 23 hour drive from Jackson hole, I have to live vicariously through you guys out west so thanks for posting such gorgeous films.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much Frederic. I really appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@paultrunfull3324]

Awesome.

[@littlerapidsphotography2554]

Great video, thanks for sharing. As I'm a 20 hour drive from the Tetons, I really enjoyed your video.

[@BayouJosh]

I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you so much 😊

[@Shutermagic.photos]

I LOVE IT

[@ashleyhockenberry2187]

A+

[@telkirton]

Finally caught up and up to date after subscribing, thanks for the videos Bayou josh & Katie for the insight to your wildlife photography, stay safe both of you......

[@BayouJosh]

Awesome! Thank you! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying them.

[@kurtkemnitzer]

Awesome video Josh! The Elk crossing was sweet. And so glad you found some bears.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much Kurt. It was a magical experience

[@murielmcclellan4737]

Awesome video. Got the real feeling of the difficulty in trying to find bears. So glad your plan finally paid off.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much Muriel 😃

[@keithmacdonald4805]

Excellent video Josh, glad you finally got to see some bears. I hope to one day get to Grand Teton if they ever open the border again. Thanks for sharing you photography and videography.

[@BayouJosh]

My pleasure Keith. Thanks for watching.

[@MichaelF1026]

this was such a great video, congrats on finally seeing a bear. I was planning on going to visit the Tetons in November. Hoping to get a little snow landscapes, and would love to capture some wildlife.

[@BayouJosh]

that is a great time to go. I will be there as well. thank you Michael.

[@Tipton_Wildlife]

I'm headed there next week. I have a vacation home there. Bringing my new R5 and 100-500mm this time!

[@BayouJosh]

Fun stuff. It’s an amazing place 👍🏻

[@RickEvansTheThird]

Josh! I want to hit the like button a thousand times! This was such a great video. You're really good at telling a story in your videos. I love that. Glad you found the bears. Wonderful photos as always. Keep em coming!

[@BayouJosh]

You just made my day. Thank you 😊

[@dalan81]

Quickly becoming my favorite channel. While I live in California, Idaho is my happy place and your videos remind me to plan another trip soon! I've started going back to some of your older videos, and am enjoying seeing your photographic and videography journey as well.

[@BayouJosh]

Well thank you sir. I'm figuring this out as I go. I've always felt that the Picture never told the whole story. I appreciate you tagging along. Idaho is a magical place.

[@frikartii]

Nice. Still loving the videos, keep 'em coming. I too have that friend clicking away with the camera whilst I'm in video record mode, lol. Anyway, new camera and lens ordered today, looking forward to using them when they arrive. All the best, I look forward to your next venture.

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you my friend

[@boblacourse1430]

Hey Josh, I just returned from the Tetons and Yellowstone this past Sunday. My goal on this time was to hopefully shoot bear 399 and her 4 cubs, Great Gray Owls and Wolves at Lamar Valley. I was 0 for 3. Just found your channel couple days ago and enjoy your videos. Will definitely keep watching.

[@BayouJosh]

even an unsuccessful trip to the Tetons is magical. thanks for coming aboard Bob. 😀

[@tyb3938]

A special place. Great video, took me back there

[@BayouJosh]

😊

[@ellasdad45]

So happy for you Josh, what an amazing experience. Glad you found the bears!!!

[@BayouJosh]

Thanks Ted. I appreciate it. I was worried for a little while but my friends came through. 😊

[@JLTPhotog]

Man, Josh... Fantastic video this week. I've been impatiently waiting for it since Friday and you outdid yourself this week. Stunning video and photography and truly made my heart yearn to be back in that beautiful part of the world. Keep up the great work man!

[@JeffandLeslie]

Really nice video Josh. I must get outburst for the elk rut one of these years. I do a lot of photography during the whitetail rut here in Kentucky and Ohio. It is the most wonderful time of the year. It will be in full swing in another couple weeks.

[@randyschwager84]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you Randy.

[@bestpix100]

Just wonderful, stunning scenery and lovely wildlife. I could 'barely' take the suspension as the video was running out and still no bears... then BOOM what a surprise. Thanks for another enjoyable video.

[@BayouJosh]

☺️ Awesome! Mission accomplished. So glad you enjoyed it.

[@mattmaizza]

Got me hooked on your stories

[@BayouJosh]

Glad you’re enjoying them. 😃

[@debskoi]

Stunning Video ! ❤

[@NatPhoto56]

Lovely video. Remind me not to go to Grand Tetons or Yellowstone when you're there 😃 looking for bears. I've seen and photographed bears every single time I've been there except one in January, when of course the bears were hibernating. Glad you finally got some in the viewfinder!

[@BayouJosh]

🤣 I don’t blame you! Luckily I got some good advice from my friends. I was going about it all wrong. Plus, you know how it is. It’s the one beer and that opens the gate for all the others.

[@gotophotoarchive9131]

Video should be called more than bears, as always 🥰.

[@ncmetalfan5267]

I know the feeling lol, took me until trip #4 before I got a decent grizzly pic. However my 1st trip I got a gray wolf 10ft from the car

[@TranquiloBayPanama]

Great story telling, and an outstanding adventure with friends. I love it all including the great blues guitar track and even the lonely Junco, he was cool too. Congrats on the finding your target, must have been very satisfying after such effort. Well Done!

[@BayouJosh]

Thank you so much. It was quite the adventure.
