I have a very short list of fears. One of the few is getting attacked by something like this. You just don't understand how massive these creatures are until you're next to one.
I don't have an overt fear of it, I just refuse to allow myself or a loved one be mauled, thus I am always armed to teeth when "in the hills"
And then pound for pound they're even more powerful. You take the strongest toughest 350 lb man vs a 300 lb bear or lion or tiger and even without teeth and claws the animal treats the bigger man like a rag doll. I'll see if I can find the video: There's a "Montana bear guy" who has a pet 400 lb grizz. He takes it out and has it flip 800 lb boulders like they're nothing.
@@dr.mikejohnson571 Sometimes I like the videos where the bear kills the hunters, gotta admit some of you hunters are arrogant and need some humbling.
@@intentionaloutcome9068 ??? Gotta admit, ur effin nuts, and "arrogant" ...?? 😳😳 ehhh ... YOU... MIRROR... and the shitiot you c there 👏👏👏👍👍👍
@@intentionaloutcome9068 we are literally top of the foodchain lmao, imagine going on a hunting video and having the dumbest opinion on earth
Man that intro is exactly my sentiment. It's why I'm here. Just looking for the opportunity!
i love the southern accents good to see a good ole boy like me able to go hunt with ya
Absolutely brilliant completely envious
Living out of a tent, Oh hell come to Seattle. There is tons of people living in tents under the overpass, parks, ball fields.
No surprise, tent cities are popping up or growing like weeds in most democratic run larger cities and its only gonna get worse in the coming years with the Biden administration not securing the southern border and people from all over the world freely walking into the USA now. 20K-30K illegal immigrants enter this country every single week since Biden took over, stopped the wall/tore it down and allows all illegal immigrants into this country. Oh and the 20k to 30k is just the ones that get processed, there are several thousand others every week that enter and are never caught/processed and move around the country freely and nobody knows who they are or what they are capable of. Yes most illegals are good people looking for a better life but the country just can't sustain have hundreds of thousands coming into the country every few months, a lot of them eventually end up on the streets and these tent cities in Seattle, Portland, LA and area NY etc the bigger Dem run cities were the leadership there allows this to happen
@@misguidedangel6550 I just got back from Maui. Ya, I know it was cool. But they have bums living on the streets there also. But it is still living in Maui., I guess.
Yep, and the tent cities pop up faster in Red states, wonder why that is? Lol
Hahaha good one.
@@guytansbariva2295 no those places are dem ran
Loved the hunt man!
Excellent shot of the chuchach mountains
That was a BEAST ! God bless!...
Another exceptional hunt. I will probably never make it from the UK to Alaska to hunt but everything from landing a plane in the lakes to packing out the bear look incredible. Thanks for another great episode, Billy!
All of you male ego driven, heartless, insecure, wicked fuckers do not belong on this beautiful planet period!!!!! You will all have to pay over and over when you die for what you have done, you sick bastards!!!!!!
@@eddyj3862 Your pannies eddy are a little too tight, hush.
@@eddyj3862 if it weren't for hunters there would have no funds for conservation over the years .
@@markzimmerman7279 I bet Eddie eats like a rabbit...
Well Produced Hunting Experiences Mr. Billy Molls ; I am never disappointed. I always watch Your Video Productions more than once for sure. He sure did Pound Him.
Thanks for the vids..looks like fun
Hi...did you know Devoe Friend? He was a guide on kodiak. I worked for him on Midway Island back in 1981!
He was a great guy!
Told me to bring 3 sets of raingear and a generator all the work id ever want...never made it...i chased surf!
Billy, I am exhausted just watching you guys hike up and down those mountains. What a bear !!!! Calling him in was experience and skill which you have really honed over the years ! Congrats to you & your hunters !
Why do they have to kill it. Not doing them any harm
I know this is an old video because the plane says ERA Alaska, but 2011 doesn’t seem 10 years ago!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Billly
Thanks again MDMM, doing great things for us all to enjoy and learn from. Thanks again and god bless Billy M & family 👍🇺🇸
Absolutely.
Amen. Do they eat the 🐻 meat ? O wonder
@@osoreal3957they left it, just thrill kill, wanted another blanket to show his friends.
Thanks Billy always look forward to your great videos that make feel as if I was there...looking fwd to the next great adventure
Thanks 👍
@@moderndaymountainman8130 when is the next video launching…. Looking for a good long Dall hunt
@@moderndaymountainman8130 Romancing the savage with technology and high powered rifles. I've rarely witnessed something so cowardly. I honestly feel pity for you.
Killing an animal for sustenance is one thing. Killing a majestic beast for egotistical purposes is another. Pathetic
@@kenhiett5266 waaaaaah
@@nitrojunkie9027 Exactly. Baby noises is exactly what comes to mind when grown men kill a magnificent animal for a false sense of masculinity. Haven't humans done enough damage to Brown Bears in North America already?
That's one nice rug you got there going to need to get me one in the future 😉
Nice Shooting, Great Videoing of the Hunt from Start to the Finish.
Really that's a Gorgeous Spring Bear. I gather they had just Emerged from Thier Hibernation, & by the looks of the Surrounding area's? You guys had just barely been able too Fly in? Maybe a Week or Two weeks before then. Great Hunt. & Thank You for Sharing IT with Us.
Billy , you are a one of a kind Guide , I watch all of your hunts . You are awesome Guide
My goodness they are an impressive and frightening animal.
I absolutely enjoy watching your hunting videos and see there is a true bonding experience that happens between you and your clients.
Theres so much more than killing the animal. The bonding its spiritual its digging down deep and knowing who you are and more, its beautiful.
I enjoy your campfire talks i know this is set up for men mostly but i must say I'm learning alot.
I see men reaching out to you by their responses.
Billy your doing a wonderful thing, spreading the word as Christians we want to do.
You truly found your place and are reaching people that relate to you some who sorta put the Lord on the back burner but Billy you've touched them and your changing their lives.
What a blessing you are to alot of people.
Your a very special man and i mean that maybe you dont look at yourself that way because your a humble man but your a true blessing to alot of people.
God Bless You Sir
Amazing dream hunt
Awesome hunt
Wow! Thank you for allowing me to come along for your dream hunt. Just amazing. Congratulations on the hunt of a lifetime!
What an impressive Kodiak Island brown bear hunt. Can't tell you how much we enjoy all of your videos!
AWESOME! 👍
What a beauty. If mine, iwould have the head mounted on the hide. I like the old tiger mounted heads on rugs.
Awesome stuff Billy love these videos. But do agree always wonders what rile and caliber your folks are using. It would just be interesting to know. Thanks again. Vince from NJ. Hope to hunt with you some day…..
living the dream. the footage, scenery, and bear were breathtaking.
Great video! I enjoyed it
Awesome Bear . Clean shot. Congrats 👏 Brother 😎☝️🐻🎯👏
You are cringe just like him. Whats the point killing a creature thats about to get extinct.
Ryan and Jeremy from my home state. NC glad to see a local group with the legend himself MDMM. Gods speed to ya all 👍🇺🇸congratulations to Ryan H
Looks like a blast Billy!
WOW! Nice Shot Man
Thank you.
Billie, I'm from Louisiana and hunted native animals my whole life, and to know at 65, I would love to hunt Kodiak, with a guide like yourself, but got to face reality, a dream is just that, love the video's , your a class act.
make it happen sir so that there are no regrets. we live once and then that's it. we are lucky to be alive. I made it out alive after 28 plus years as a police officer in miami dade county florida. I say do it or die trying.....
@@zl1bookerglad you got to retire. One of our local deputies was just murdered in cold blood. Poor guy was only 30, and had been engaged for 4 days.
Love to hear when trophy hunters proclaim "thank you Lord!" for scoring game. THANKS for the awesome video -- priceless memories for so many who had the chance to share the hunt with your video.
@W... ya, as if God is pleased with them for murdering one of his beautiful creation, for nothing but bragging rights. You must of have a poor belief about what God is about, and who he is.
God doesn’t exist, it was a hallucination for a dude that wrote the bible, but yes is very heartwarming to hear the hunters appreciate the life they have taken and be sorry for the suffering they caused
@@freaky.skullz8 Wrong!
@@jessejames1040 I’m right and you know it well at least your only brain cell
Great hunt Billy
I’ve watched all of your moose hunting video and so glad I found you on TH-cam!!!
The journey itself is so breathtaking id love to come to a place like this
What a majestic bear. Taken down humanely and quickly. Congratulations!!!
For what fucking reason ??? assholes
@@SteffanoDucati nature is going to eliminate by using a weakened condition killing by other animals that are stronger. The taking by a human hunter is quicker and thereby more humane.
100% unnecessary .... that creature would have lived as a valuable part of the ecosystem unlike those thrill seeking assholes who serve no purpose what-so-ever .
@Steffano Ducati Let me guess you are one of the people who live in the city and drive 5 minutes away t9 get your groceries. If I am correct then other what you read and are told by the media you have never experienced any of nature that means you have no idea about any of this so your opinion has no value.
@@user-xw3op7ti7t you have free speech and I have free speech. In my opinion you are a liberal socialists censoring asshole.
Lol the way they laid the bear down on his back at the end
Just subbed! Nice content 🙏🏿🇺🇸
Billy Molls adventures are the best!! You almost feel like you're on the hunt. Great camera work, great attitude, the whole package.
Congrats All!!
Enjoy your program. Taught at UAA and UAF from 1980 to 1987, been hunting many of those places. Raised three boys in AK, doing what you do. You bring back many good memories. Lots of bush flights, backpacks, and sweat. Keep it up.
Cool bed blanket
That paw being bigger then a human head is crazy, only imagine what it can do
Billy is simply # -1- Guide, wish i was there with them on this adventure.
Are you looking at that cape it looks like a chimp removed it with a weed wacker. I'd demand he pay for the pelt he ruined! Probably also my tags for being that stupid!
Awesome hunt, looked like a super good time and the weather didn’t look like kodiak weather usually is.
My dream hunt is a grizz with a bow mane I know one day ima call you for a biggun... thanks for the motivation mane
Woooow awesome congratulations
This video was fire
Hey Billy from the UP, I started the same way trapping rats, but I moved to the UP to become a mountain man and logger, was headed to Alaska but fell in love with this area, great hunt my brother
Nice amigo
Congratulations🎉
Best hunts on TH-cam
Cheers!
Awesome. Love Kodiak and always brings back memories of my bear hunt there in 2007. Need to go hunt deer there again just for the experience. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing!!
Good job
Cool video. Would have been good to see more of the skinning process as well as a closer look at that pelt stretched out once removed, but thanks the same.
its not allowed to show that on youtube sadly..
@@todleif it’s allowed, it just gets demonetized. A lot of hunting channels make second channels for that stuff that won’t make money.
I didn’t know you could still hunt bears. Such a beautiful animal. Sad to see it get put down. All in all good hunt
Oh hell yeah man! Bear is good gets you pretty sick if you don’t know how to cook it tho
@boatsandhoes4346 you probably aren't getting enough fat off when you harvest
I'm pretty sure you could always hunt bear. Why do you think that we're not allowed anymore?😂
@@shortbusracingco.1241cuz they’re sick and most stuff is gonna be dead in 20 years
@boatsandhoes4346, not many people be eaten grizzly bear.
LOL....couple a jugg heads and a cheese head...you boys had a bad ass bear hunt.. im getting too old billy maybe better get on the list for one of these soon ehh? how bout vilas county this year?
Just speechless!
Great video. Did you take any meat, or just the hide/skull? Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing
Sadly looks like they just took the hide,
what a beast. makes your heart race just watching
have you seen how they poke a hole in the hide and put an high pressure air hose in - blows the hide up
I enjoyed the video but this old ragedy man has never used a back pack and I'm not starting now.Thanks for the video.
Awesome hunt, I’ve hunted goats and deer on Kodiak, hope to be able to go get a bear some day. That terrain is so much tougher to traverse than that video leads you to believe
I’m sure it is makes me wish I was 30 years old again
did you hunt them for fun
Freakin awesome. The sense of adventure and sheer freedom captured in your amazing videos is palpable, Billy. Most men only dream of being so free…but the quest stops there. God bless.
I was just totally awesome so much money and so much work but it all comes together and it's totally worth it, great job
Great video
Great hunt and video. Was that a 375 H&H magnum rifle that he used? The bullets looked like 375s. Would be good to know what rifle, caliber, etc, that was used. I noted a quick 2nd shot as well. Good idea with dangerous game like a brown bear! Grats on a great bear and hunt. That's a hunting experience you will never forget.
What you noticed was the guide hunting the bear and the client conned into thinking he shot the bear.
Really! After much reflection, I think I would love to hunt Kodiak. What a unique place. It is God's country
I wonder how many sows that big bastard has killed? A friend of mine lives in AK and he was telling me about the boars going after cubs and sometimes they will just go for a lone sow. I didn’t have time to ask him if it was a food thing, or no interest in mating or whatever the reasons were for that.
A boar kills the cubs, which throws the sow into heat, one reason trophy boar hunting actually causes more bears in an area , as far as I know they seldom kill the sows.
The thrill of the chase would do it for me,
It was a good hunt. It makes me not want to hunt bear. But never the less it was a good hunt.
Wonderful video as usual Billy! One heck of a bear my friend. Out of curiosity do you guide for an outfitter when you come to Kodiak or are you booking independently? I live here in Kodiak And I am super curious if I know the folks you work with here!
Poor Poor 🐻, He's Huge!!
Wahnsinspranken , und der riesige Schädel ! Das war wahrhaftig, ein grandioser Jagderfolg ! Danke für Euer Video !🤜🤛👏🤲👍🐻
Cele mai tari aventuri bravo dragi mei frumos foarte frumos multumesc
Billy, did you follow up a shot on this hunt? Sounded like two. Great hunt👍
Sounded like two to me also. The 2nd shot sound was too quick to be an echo.
After the first shot the guide will shoot so they don't need to track a wounded bear in the Alders that is what they are subpost to do
Yes. Hindsight I didn't need too, but both our scopes were very fogged and surrounding brush was thick.
@@moderndaymountainman8130 It was the ethical thing to do in that situation. The bear died quick and eliminated a possible very dangerous situation. Good job.
@@moderndaymountainman8130 what caliber do you guys use for that bear?
As the Bear is coming in, I had a flashback of when I shot mine. I'm thinking, "Don't short -shuck it!" Amazing what adrenaline will do, even with control round feed. Always a pleasure watching your videos Billy. Brings back some awesome memories of Alaskan Adventures.
I got some serious adrenaline seeing that beast walkin in
First thing he said was thank you lord. Nothing is possible without him
Always love these bear hunt videos billy , all the way down here from Arkansas 🙏🏼
nothing is better than an alive animal.
That was a great hunt. Beautiful bear. Congratulations. Did y'all take the meat out also?
very happy to see ALL the Commandments of Firearms Safety followed. Nice job camera man, even if not on purpose. Open action when celebrating after the shot, no waving muzzles around, saw several good examples. Kid hunter viewer safe
How does that work with the guide firing also? As long as he fires second? It seems like he knew he'd fire right after the client fired.
Not everyone noticed the scam, but you did. It isn't really you hunting if the guide makes the kill shot.
I spotted it the first time I watched it.
It happens in alot of his videos if you pay attention. But he is a good guide.
He also did it with Barry Bartons hunt as well.
I guess it's for the best...
I don't understand why everything gets barberized with bullets. Even if it's a perfect bullet placement (which don't happen very often) , as long as it's still standing its "shoot um again!". Then everything gets shot in the front quarter, hind quarter, paw, belly and ass. The quality of the videos are nice to watch, but the quality of shooting is cringe worthy.
Excellent hunt I wish I was younger to go on a hunt like this
Surprised the red dot didn't appear on their mini-maps
Bro teleported to heaven 😢
Great videos. Im all the way over in Australia but this is high high up on my bucket list. Unreal wilderness and unreal hunting. Great job guys
Go to new Zealand
@@bluethunder4542no bears in New Zealand
@@midnightq69 who needs bears
@@bluethunder4542 people who want to hunt the ultimate predator. Even without hunting, bears are awesome. People like to pretend Australia (where I’m from) is dangerous but it isn’t. A dingos as scary as a coyote, you get bitten by a snake or spider just go to the hospital. Alaskas where it’s at for excitement in the wild, not boring Australia and NZ. There’s nothing that’ll kill and eat you in the forests down here, virtually zero risk and excitement.
Great footage of that bear lumbering toward you guys! What a brute
They were in his domain and it was them that deserves shooting
@@stevencrooks7201 I guarantee you currently live in the previous domain of other animals. So, take your own advice bro, seriously, please. Leave conservation to educated people that understand wildlife management.
@@gibbers13no harvest. Thrill kill. He could of bought a bear skin!! For another blanket. Idiots.
What a gorgeous pelt. Beautiful! Wow. Do you ever carve out bear steaks or roast? Alaska the beautiful! I’d also like to say that was a beautiful plane that brought you in! I have great respect for the bush pilots. Great respect for you all!
I would love to do this, but I'm way too old and crippled to do this kind of hunt
Glad to find your channel. I love to hunt, this would be my dream hunt !
What caliber and brand was the rifle that took the bear.
That's a nice bear 🐻
I don't know man... Was the guide's follow up shot necessary in this case? I would be quite pissed if the guide/PH took a shot too unless it was absolutely necessary.
Considering it was at 60 yards and most the time they don’t go down right away I would have done the same thing.
Our scopes were heavily fogged and dense brush surrounding. Ordinarily I wouldn't have shot. Better one-too many bullets than one-too few.
@@moderndaymountainman8130 Thank you for explaining. Makes sense now.
There is no way to know if it was necessary. It was much too soon in my opinion. There isn't one second between the two shots. Almost like a "preemptive shot". A back up shot shouldn't be so quick unless there is the danger of a charge. It's quite clear that no one likes to follow a wounded bear in the alders and the guide is the one who has to find the bear..I'll put that shot on his experience in similar circumstances.
Affix bayonets! Or in this case I think would be duct taping one of those William Wallace swords to the barrel!
