I remeber we used to rent your VHS tapes as a kid! I think one of my favorites was the big muley buck that was filmed outside of Dubois . It was cool to see him progress through his years!
Kool
Thank you for these stories.
Glad you enjoyed them.
Thanks Mike!
You bet!
I think it would be a blast to sit with Mike, pitcher of beer listening to old packin'-huntin' and back country adventure stories of the Wyoming golden years. Thx form sharing!
I do like Beer!
Wish I was alive back then hunting in the 60s and 70s. Thanks for the stories.
It was a great time to be in the mountains!
thanx Mike 😊God bless u and your family 🙏 ❤
Thank you for the kind words.
Same for me in the salmon (frank church) great memories...to bad our great grand kid will never see 😢😢😢
Your right but they can watch and see how it was.
Always enjoy your Blazed Trails Forgotten. I live in southwest Colorado and am young enough I missed out on alot of the good hunting days around here. Always enjoy your stories they remind me of my dads adventures with his brothers.
Glad you're enjoying them, I miss the old days too!
Great show Mike!
Thanks, more to come!
My brother passed away a couple years ago.Talking about hunting with your brother brings back many memories of me and him hunting together! Thanks for the memories!
I'm sorry for your loss, cherish those memories.
So, your brother needed glasses?
Not anymore
Is this the same "Jackson," Johnny Cash and his wife sings about?
I don't think so.
great vid, it used to be awsome. thanks
More coming soon!
You were born in the right place at the right time ! I wish I was there in the 50's & 60's ! Keep the video's coming Mike !
I was but at the time I just took it for granite.
@BlazedTrailsForgotten Hell, I'm just glad you came home from SE Asia.
Another great video Mike! Thank you!
Your Welcome! Next Episode is hunting big mule deer in the 50's and 60's
Great opening shot. great vid all around
Glad you enjoyed it! More coming.
It’s always a great day when I open UA-cam and find a new episode of Blazed Trails Forgotten! Thanks for taking the time to share all these memories from the golden age of hunting with us Mike! Awesome idea to make these for future generations, I’m sure your grandkids will enjoy listening for years to come.
Glad you enjoy them!
So awesome
A very risky call. The two guys are bitter and can come out fighhting anything and anyone on their path.
That was the way Ridge rolled.
i am leaving in Arusha and this things still today happen , I remember Ridge Taylor
Ridge was a friend from my country here in Wyoming. Pass away to soon!.
Bravo 👏👏👏🙏❤️😘
Thanks
Giant mud holes coming to the US very soon it's going to get crazy
Bull comes out last......the phrase: ladies first applies at least to some members of the animal kingdom, literally. Not just confined to the homo sapiens species.
OK!
Great work by you guys in ultimately saving these Buffalo! The Maasai have never been on my list of tribes that have any animal welfare, ecology in mind. How stupid to just let the Buff (cruel, wasteful) die and pollute their wells. Why can't these Maasai use around their wells what hey use around their stock pens, from what I've seen it is thorny plants, shrub. Appears to be effective, keeps stock in and predators out. Put this around their wells as other animals also may be coming to grief due to these open wells.
Your Right
You can look at this creation in which everything eats everything and somehow believe it was created by loving being. If there is a God, it might be all powerful or all loving, but it certainly is not both.
This perspective is immature, even childish, it beggars belief... but unfortunately, it's also the norm in today's world. Which is precisely why everything's falling apart around us.
So the buffalo didn't use the ladder to get out?
I think it was to steep and slippery
You are a great story teller!!
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Mike, I've been watching your videos for a long time and it's nice to see videos from times past when they were just to show real events without all the commercialization and sensationalism of now.
I always strive to keep my videos authentic and truthful.
thanx Mike 4 the video ❤
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
amazing story time with unc
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! Incredible! You don't see that. Ever!😅 Thanks for the story, Mike!👍🏻🦬
It's a good thing the bull had a good guide!
Great job!👍 Subscribed✅
Thanks and welcome
Buffalo are really stupid animals. It’s very obvious god put them on this planet to be eaten. They’re huge animals, with significant strength and they should be able to kill a lion at least 50% of the time, but they don’t. And I’ve seen many videos of them poking their calf’s with their horns while trying to defend it from lions or hyenas. Also if you look at Asian water buffalo, they’re as stupid as they come I’ve seen videos of them allowing Komodo dragons to feast on their calf while it’s still alive screaming for help, and they just sit there 6 inches from it and don’t do anything. These animals were designated to be prey from the day god put them on this earth.
This is an interesting guy. An old westerner. Pretty cool.
Thanks!
Thanks Mike. That was interesting, but where was it written that an angry Cape Buffalo should be grateful to be rescued by a PH that usually hunts them instead of rescuing them?
LOL! Never!
What rifle was your Dad using?
Mike Eastman I love your stories so much thanks for taking me along looking forward to seeing a lot more of your old school footage I live in Central Utah have you ever been there have you hunted on the pahvant take care God bless
No! Thanks for the kind words

click bait
I'm looking for "wild, high and free" documentary I can't see to find it
Great stuff!
Yall should post the eastman outdoor adventures
Beautiful ram. I watched alot of Gordon s movies when i was young. I ended up becoming a guide for 25 seasons in the 7 Yukon for MacMillan River Outfitters and 18 for MacKenzie Mt outfitters. I have the ram in my pic on video. It's the largest taken out of the MacKenzie s. It scored 178 4/8 in 2005. I should put it on here. I won a buckel for it. MacKenzie Mt s are the best in my mind.
