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.
Very very well made video. These guys make the best quality hunting videos I have seen.....and I love watching everything I can get my hands on. Great work Best of the West!
Nice vid...ta. Brings back memories of guiding days in the '80's in the Kooteney Range in Southern British Columbia. Excuse me while I watch it again..... Thanks for posting....
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!!!!
Awesome john. I sure do miss the mountains. Spent a lot of years chasing elk and sheep in them here in alberta. Sure would love to do an elk hunt with you john
Am a fellow hunt guide in the NW Maine. Your videos motivate me. After months n months of guiding with all the challenging ups n downs it’s good to watch/listen to these videos that puts all into perspective, and why we do n love what all guides do. Much appreciated and respectful n humble.
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.
Not a big game guy, I’m all about ducks and geese. But a hunt for some type of mountain animal with scenery like this on horseback is definitely a bucket list deal.
Great Vid! Well made/produced! Glad I found your channel. Just coming off successful WY elk hunt last fall with Trophy Mountain outfitters! Dustin was a great shooting coach and guide! Glad you mentioned that role of the guides so hunters can see the attributes/details of great guides! THX! Winslow, Eastern NC
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
24 years old and I'm more determined than ever to become a hunting guide out west. This is an awesome video !! Does anyone have thoughts on the elm outfitters and guides training course ?
Awesome video enjoyed very much. Just wondering what is the best to find a guide for elk hunt? Also do you recommend a guide and also a place to go for best success just for future reference?
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
That moose you shot we here in the north call a teaser bull...he is for bringing the cows into heat...we don't shoot unless the bull is at least 60 inches
Great Moose, I'm an excellent auto stalker,killed a bunch of whitetails right out the truck window,I also use my truck as my blind,I usually park on a powerline right of way,and sit in the heater and read the news paper, If I see a good one,I roll do ees n the window and drill him
I have wanted to become a hunting guide for about 2 years if anyone can help me out with a summer packing or wrangling job that would be really helpful thanks
Things are as difficult as you make them. Ever traveled? well i rode a bicycle around the world why would you take a plane/bus. I met a guy running around the world. Its your own ride
And you Sir are the problem with hunting today. Bow hunters hate everyone. Gun Hunters, Crossbow Hunters, Trappers and especially the public when they have decided to hunt on public land, that they now consider their own private property. 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.
In summary, hunters are the majority if not the only people that consistently take action in regards to conservation. Because we love hunting the amazing animals we know that its key to conserve them. Other people don't care about the animals enough to do anything.
I won’t dispute your claim of hunters’ conservationism. Yet, killing these awesome animals seems to counter what you suggest. Odd logic and cognitively dissonant. Cheers!
@@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.
It’s kind of sad people killing these beautiful animals just for a trophy I used to hunt years ago and me and all my friends it was always about the biggest elk the biggest deer it never was about the meat for me or my friends so now when I see these videos it turns my stomach
So you're knocking us for something that you did? We recover ALL meat and we typically donate it to local charities, make meals at camp or take it home (in that order).
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.
What reservation you from?
If all shows were this good I'd never get anything done!!! Johns the best!!!

Were you able to go on that caribou hunt sir?

What beautiful footage and nicely done. Thank you so much for taking me where I most likely will never get to go.
Glad I found your channel John!
Great video guys. Thanks for sharing. I used to work in The Greys River Range. I miss that country
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, video John Porter thank U for this info. what a wonderful life. Prayers & Blessings Paul in North Georgia
Great shooting! I love hunting the high country!
Gnarly country with a top of the line video!!!

What a great recommendation on the first aid kit; epi pens, torniquetes, and a trauma kit are valuable things for the backcountry.
Great episode!!
this was such an amazing video truly loved it. Your living the life I always wanted to live. Keep on living brotha
Great videos I miss that country I use to work for gap at crystal creek outfitters back in the 90’s.
What a beautiful country.

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

NOW! ... this is LIVING. 👊🏻👍🏻💪🏻☝🏻🙏🏻
Great quality film 👍🏼👍🏼
I am so glad these animals are not easily accessible that means they'll be around for a while thank you Lord
I guided for about twenty five years, there is nothing like it being out in the MTN hunting stone sheep ,
Watching all those Dudes sitting all over the cantle brings back a lot of memories.
Best hunting out there. Wish I had a chance once to join a goat hunting. Great job gentlemen 👏
Amen love it I also guided in Idaho. That country is so steep it's like climbing a tree you can reach out and bite the grass
nice shot 👏🏻💯🇺🇸
Amazing life, real life ,wonderfull life.
Love these videos. Lot of rust on the bolt tho
Damn good shot!
Attitude of Gratitude for who you are and all you share
That music in the beginning was in red dead
That’s why you don’t shoot beyond what you’re comfortable with. Personally, close quarter hunting is the best.
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 hate it when I see a hunter pointing his rifle directly at his guide walking in front. Yes even if the rifle is unloaded.
Always gets my blood flowing for my Montana trip
Awesome hunts
Man, I do have that old mossy oak camo t-shirt that i find myself wearing on most of my successful hunting days. Haha
Incredible
Awesome video, brilliant! Horses are great but I’d prefer to go in on foot, more of a physical challenge!
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.
Yep, They all know more than you do. I sent a few home empty handed because they wanted to do it their way. hard headed asses.
I want to become guide. Please tell me what I have to do.

Hobbit Homes can you go more into the schools? I didn’t know those existed.

Top galaxia👍🏼
gotta love a grubby huntin shirt. can't find that at kuiu
how do you guys like those carbon fiber rifles? What caliber do you hunt goats with?
Good stuff
Gosh, my comment was meant for the Hunting on Adak Islsnd
That moose you shot we here in the north call a teaser bull...he is for bringing the cows into heat...we don't shoot unless the bull is at least 60 inches
good hunting......
Dream job

song in the begining???
No city lights anywhere
How do I get started this is what I want to do
Caliber and bullet?
Dagummit.. why did you stop making vids.. going to guide school this summer.
In all that rugged country, wouldn't it be safer to depend on sure-footed mules rather than horses?
I tried to email you to ask some questions, but the email came back undeliverable???
Sorry, problem solved. Please try again.
This is just a infomercial for hunting products
and a damn good one. lol
No sling ?
Why do you prefer horses over Mules?
What is this place
Thanks for liking liking my comment. But I really wanted to know which part of world is this. I really don't know. I m from India
What caliber is that?
Which rifle is that?
Better be in good physical shape, and thats no bull
Estoy molesto mucho cuando pongan documentales pongan la traduccion en español en latinoamerica notodos saben ingles

No. Wyoming
I would love to hunt in the US.
I have wanted to become a hunting guide for about 2 years if anyone can help me out with a summer packing or wrangling job that would be really helpful thanks
When you consider every game animal has been taken with a bow, how can long range, with a rifle be considered exciting hunting ?
Yawwwwn.....
It kinda how like fucking a 40yr mom with 3 kids vs a 18 Bigg titty blonde is still fun.
Things are as difficult as you make them. Ever traveled? well i rode a bicycle around the world why would you take a plane/bus. I met a guy running around the world. Its your own ride

Some people like ribeyes, some people like t-bones. Any more questions?
There's no xperiencein the world as enlivening as the hunt. But once you step back a bit and realize what you're doing, you'll never hunt again.
Can you host me for few days I am ready to pay even

If the animals are so ‘awesome’ why do you want to kill them? Wouldn’t you want to keep them alive to appreciate their awesomeness?
In summary, hunters are the majority if not the only people that consistently take action in regards to conservation. Because we love hunting the amazing animals we know that its key to conserve them. Other people don't care about the animals enough to do anything.

gorsch we gonna kill sumpin huhhuhhh
Hurts to see God’s beautiful creations being hunted like this..
Looks like you'd be a mule man ?
Why?
All the advantages for the hunter! ...the goat cannot shoot him!
ปาด
So many human,,, So little wildlife. Ban all gun scopes & ONLY legal rifles should be muzzleloader ONLY!
Этим тварям нечего есть?!
One minute it’s walking around , enjoying life , doing NOBODY any harm ,
Then ( BANG ) it’s life is ended ....for WHAT .🙁
Hopefully for food during these hungry times.
I hate trophy hunting as well.
