The Curious Hunter
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 ม.ค. 2023
My name is Jon Sontag. I was born and raised in California. I grew up going back and forth between the country and the coast. Turning 40 recently sent me over the hill and into the wild, becoming incredibly curious about hunting, fishing, and cooking up the food I harvest.
I’ve been banding together with some friends to make content about all our incredible adventures. We’ll be crafting and producing videos, photos, recipes, and much more along the way. Stay tuned and stay curious!

Killer! Just found your all’s channel! So well filmed and edited, great job guys!
@@theroadoutdoors thanks you!! So glad you enjoyed the film!
Lol ur description of hunting is just not being behind a computer. Nice video, though!
@@Theiliteritesbian haha thank you? :) my day job keeps me on the computer quite a bit. If I’m gonna get away from it, this is by far the best way to do it.
I appreciate the planning, cinematography, editing and overall effort something like this requires. I just film my hunts w/ a GoPro and find even that to be unwieldy and complicated at times. Can't imagine producing something of this quality and all of the prep & work that would entail. Beautiful video, thanks for sharing. Also, people just walk around in that area all the time not even looking for a deer. They call it hiking. I did it on spring break once. So even w/o a deer, you still did some prime hiking. No loss. You'll get 'em next time. Or the time after that. Walking around with a gun in search of a buck in Big Sur is to breathe truly rarified air. Hunting in sight of the Pacific. Can't beat it.
@@duckchugger wow thank you for that! Means a lot! It is such an amazing spot. Hunting or not, just great to wander those hills.
Been looking forward to this one 🙌🏽
Great job guys! Stoked to get out after those mud donkeys
this is a sick setup 🔥
I enjoyed watching your film. Make me want to take up fishing again -- been a long time since I have done it!
Get out there! There’s no better place then being on the water
Great video and production quality! I just subbed, I love how you share your story around hunting and fishing, I can definitely relate. Looking forward to see more videos from y'all 👍
Awesome thank you for the sub and the kind words!
Looks like a great time!
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY MAN!🔥
Heck Yeah! 🪶 great edit from an amazing weekend.
Dope film mate. Beautiful chill pace and the camaraderie comes through real strong.
Beautiful work, bud! I'd love to get out there sometime with you.
