    I'm Native American and I hunt but I want to be out there more to represent my people. Dudes like Remi and you inspire me. I want to put an outfitter out on reservation. I want to show these young men how to hunt and bring home meat to their moms and grand parents. Too many boys my age, not taking care of the boys they make. I dont care how long it takes.

    I started hunting and fishing in Alaska since 1985. I have had around 30 trips up there. Hunted caribou most, some solo, a couple guided. I’ve also hunted dall sheep, mountain goat. Shots few ptarmigan but nothing so dramatic. This is truly living a hunters dream. Keep it up, as long as you can. At over 75 with a severe back problem, my last dream is to go on another solo caribou hunt. Got to be an easier one, though. Hope it is not just a dream.

    I've had the honor of sharing the blind with the Mr Caldwell CEO back in 2007, I've wondered if he was still around I hope him and his family are doing well. And still to this day riding from the airport in Denver with the producer Jack Peterson and sharing two weeks with him hunting elk at Val's trophy lodge is my Best Western adventure ever! I'll never forget that! Cheers Jack! Hope all is well in Cody! What I'd give to have all or some of the footage from that time in my life! I need some time out west again that's for sure!!!!

    Really really appreciate the ‘duck analogy’. Will always remember that. I’d also like to ty for mentorship provided in ur commentary John. I know for me, I can always learn and continue to learn. It’s what I’m looking for when searching thru outdoors vidz. Not from the outdoor channel that mostly shows end results and makes look easy. Soo much work and professionalism goes into a guided hunt NOT inside high fences. I just really appreciate your channel.

      I agree, he makes a good point about having more time but if the shooter can’t hit the animal at 200 then he shouldn’t be trying at 400 in my opinion. Ive never shot anything over 100 yards. I pretend im bow hunting but with a gun haha. I shoot a savage 99 300 savage with open sights so its not much of a long range gun anyways

    As a guide, my three biggest gripes about "hunters are 1) They don't come to camp in shape to hunt 2) They have big magnums they are afraid of (they miss at 75 yards with a 30-378) 3) They believe everything the see in Sports Afield and don't listen their guides.

      @@nonyobussiness3440 man that is a question it could take hours to answer. Every state in the US have their own rules and licence requirements. Every employer has their own expectations of what skills and gear you need to have. I would recommend you figure out where you want to work geographically then call the fish and game authority and outfitters in that area. In the US there are schools you can go to. But examine them carefully. Some of those schools are really just a way outfitters get you pay them for working your butt off

Try hunting, from the ground and with only a week long season and less see how you do. And NO FOOD PLOTS which is really baiting.

      @@mtoscano343 well sir, from a conservationist stand point anyway we will take in consideration the human population china for example, they are an over populated country by number in city anyways( like deer to a certain area) and for years there was a law no more than 2 children per house hold( not sure if that is completely correct) but they have what is called population control and if there is too many people, resources(food, and breeding grounds) don't last long enough, and if there isn't enough people their capitalist(forestry, grass, etc.) ways fall apart. SO we as an over populated species are a good example of what happens when numbers are not kept in check. Also no I do not condone others killing others. In todays world its just survival of the fittest when it comes to that.
