High Country Brown Bears, Alaska Brown Bear Hunting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2020
- From the Modern Day Mountain Man collection:
Wedged between the windswept Pacific and the frigid Bering Sea, the Alaska Peninsula is a raw, merciless land dominated by majestic mountains and arguably the largest bears in the world. Veteran big game guide, Billy Molls, leads his clients on two classic adventures as this savage wilderness and its iconic brown bears test the strength, challenge the skill, and whittle away the
resolve of both guide and hunter.
With a new spring blossoming, both land and sea come alive. Caribou give birth to their calves, while the wolf and wolverine prowl for their next meal. Sows warily lead their cubs to feed on the first green shoots as boars scour the landscape tirelessly in search of a mate.
Danger, breathless stalks, heart-stopping encounters, utter disappointment, and the elation of success in this time-forgotten land make this an unforgettable saga.

The only negative thing I can say about Billy’s videos is it takes the enjoyment out of watching other hunting videos. Billy’s are the best.
I like the tall lanky guy who's like "I shlocked em!". With the Dog Bounty Hunter looking sidekick.
@@Audfile I used to until I seen what he was really like. Nothing like Billy imo…

That’s true Yaf!
You know how all hunters build a strong bond with the ones they share the woods with. Sometimes too strong. Back in 2007 I buried a great friend of mine not knowing what an impact it would have on me. 2 months later I was in a tree opening day of archery. I couldn’t do it, I never finished the hunt, just climbed down and never talked about it until today, right now. The amount of respect you have for the land, the animals, and the wind that can be your friend or foe. You rustled up some great memories I put away long long ago. Thank you so much for that.
Billy, noticed this video of my bear hunt with you is up over 700,000 views. That is awesome. I have had several people I have met in the airport that have come up to me and said aren't you the hunter on that bear movie that Billy put up on UA-cam. So 2 days ago I had a hunter from Pakistan send me a FB private message and reconnected so to speak. He was hunting with the same outfitter that I was hunting with back in September 2013 near Dillingham AK for grizzly bear. He got his bear before I did and had already flown home by the time I finished and we never were able to stay in contact until now. Small World Indeed.
Yeppers!!
Amazing hunts
Congrats on the incredible bear Lonnie!
@@timdirk1139 Thanks
That's awesome man!! Sure is a small world when you put into that context. Congrats on the beautiful bear
What a wonderful experience to go on this bear hunt with you. I'll never make it to Brown Bear Country, never walk the ridges and valleys there, never get to camp at the foothills by the ocean and shelter from the rain under a tarp for days on end. But this video allows me to do so vicariously. Thank you for the respectful attitude you showed in harvesting this blonde eared King of the Land. An animal so old and accomplished is to be honored and respected for all he represents. I can smell all the smells of your hunt, feel the wind on my face, and share your excitement of the harvest. I hunt only for food. I am opposed to 'big game' hunting, as such. So, again, thank you for the honorable manner in which you sent our Brother home. At 76, TEXAS Girl. 🇺🇸🇨🇱🇺🇸
Billy,
You sir are one of if not the best guides/filmmakers that exists these days. Your faith and conviction is only icing on the cake
Never mind the adrenaline of the hunt and the thrill of the chase - the photography in this video is off the chart! Well done!
😅😅😅lol pool 😮
Thanks again for letting us join you on a great adventure. You get the best guys to hunt with you and your films are the best there is. Love Alaska, fished out of Hoonha a couple of salmon seasons and need to get back at least one more time. Thanks again Billy, you're the best
That second hunt was as humane as it gets.You let the old boy finish before you took him.He spent the day wandering around eating and finished the day "getting some".He had a great last day! Excellent video! I love watching the hunt and not just the shooting,you do a great job.
It always makes me wonder when someone “romanticized” a scene as much as you did just then. He didn’t “afford” the bear a “last hurrah”- it’s just the way it unfolded man. It’s all good but …….
@@stevemiller3082 It was a joke numb nuts,he had to wait for him get off of her before he shot.The bear did get a last hurrah so he had a good last day.If my comment really makes you wonder that much than go ahead and wonder away,you obviously have nothing better to do.
Sure, it is a bit romantic for my taste, but in kind of a fantasy type way it makes sense. I guess a lot of us humans talk that way, we say we want to die doing what we love, but it's not like either of you two wanted to die during the hunt. Neither would you happy if all of a sudden you thought you were about to, right? But for whatever reason, we like to anthropomorphize animals, so it is what it is. What kills me is the people who scream hunting is so cruel, and critters should die naturally. How do they think any animals ever die on their own? Mother Nature is cruel, to say the absolute least. Can anybody logically argue that it would have been better for that bear if it had starved to death?@@stevemiller3082
Imagine having to shit on someone opinions for fun@@stevemiller3082
Whenever I get stressed-out, I watch a Billy Molls mini-adventure; within minutes, I am lost and stress free. Billy is such a patient and methodical hunter and guide. - N Idaho -
Cheers, Brother!
You can’t help but get closer to God and the wonder of it all. I haven’t been bear hunting but I know that special feeling you get whether in the middle of the desert after a rain or riding your Harley through the mountains. God is so wonderful.
Amen Brother!
I have been on some difficult hunts. But do not claim that God was the reason I made it through. To me believing in God is like believing Santa Claus is going to bring you wonderful gifts if you're a good boy
There is no god
@@daveken9936 You better pray you are right on that one.
@@Mike-xi4zt that is unfortunate Mike.
Billy, your videos on Alaska hunting are the best.
Billie I had the pleasure of seeing your new video of the the father and son shooting brown bears in the creeks. Your are the outfitter I enjoy watching most . May the Lord bless you and your family.MBB
You’re living the life. I enjoy watching/listening to these videos while driving my semi truck. It’s a stress reliever. Thanks!
If you enjoy hunting podcasts I recommend the gritty hunting podcast with Bryan call
A Dub Going to check it out. Thanks man!
Honestly - one of the greatest hunting videos I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I was wondering why it was so darn long, then was sorry to see it end. Billy, if you EVER doubt the gifts that God has given you, watch this video. You know freedom in ways that most men dream of, but will never know.
The best silk screen I've seen was a man climbing rocks with a large pack loaded with a big elk rack on it with the words beneath it "Oh, you lift! That cute!!"
Billy, I started watching your hunts about 2 months ago. I will say that its been a great experience to see you work your magic. I hope you can do this for years to come. Thank you!!
What an incredible hunt. I enjoy watching and listening. I guess I’m a way I’m pretending that I’m tagging along with you. Most of us will only spend our lives dreaming of a hunt like this and never spend the money or take the time.
Wise words from an Alaskan moose guide, “If your bull dies in water, your life sucks for about 3 days.”
Thank you Billy
I just recently found your videos. Very impressed with the quality and the way you tell the story.
Welcome to the channel, and thanks for the kind words!
I love that you always show the airplane footage. Something about it just brings it all together. GREAT stuff as always.
My dad and I did a 21 day drop off hunt in that bay back in the 90’s. Saw some 10’ class bears but couldn’t close the deal. Still a lot of fun. We used a 1 man inflatable to cross that river at high tide. Brings back the memories! If I could only do that one more time. I’ve hunted the next bay to the west too. Great bears in it too
Billy you are an inspiration!
Best hunting video I have ever seen. God bless you Bill Molls. Simply fantastic.
I drew a tag for Unimak island. I think only four permits are issued for the island.
I certainly agree, the brown bear is the most everything hunt. Expensive and exhilarating. Very good opportunity for a real ten footer or better. Not many people get this opportunity. I took a 10’6” brownie. The best hunt of my life. 😃👍👍
PS... Thanks so much for sharing these fantastic hunts in a beautiful place, your faith and spirit 🙏🙏🙏
Jim from Wisconsin, I have enjoyed you and your hunters adventures tremendously. It's mind blowing what you have documented and shared . Thank you so much!
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Good people doing what they Love. God Bless America !! Watch a good sitcom on tv then.
thanks for this video it is a relief to see real people geting out there
Drednort, real people? Howabout rich lower 48 rug hunters!
That was a good time! Thanks for taking us with you!
Another terrific post from Billy you just get lost in the country side in these adventures with Billy narrating every step unbelievable stuff .
Thank you for sharing.
I'm not a hunter but I sat smiling watching. I had 3 Uncles who lived in Alaska. I enjoyed your video so much! I was lucky to work on the uncles commercial fishing boat, out of Seward AK, as a deck hand. I still can't believe I worked on a boat like DEADLIEST CATCH but I did and loved it. Awesome memories!! I think everyone should visit Alaska....it is God's most majestic area he made. God bless you and your family.
I lost a friend from Seward, he was washed away from a fishing boat.
Yes, I am impressed with a Jet Boil and this old dog really enjoys his, but its only been 46 years for me:-). Love your videos and your testimony; great job!!!
Thanks, Brother!
Billy,s videos are so much better than all the others I watch,he includes so much detail and is so adept at getting you into the moment. Thank you Billy your hard work is appreciated by all your followers.
I like the stories just as much as the hunt. Enjoying listening to this content. Thank you!
Protecting our hunting resources for the next generations to come is very important.
This is one of the most beautifully filmed, narrated and informative videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you so very much for sharing this!
killing animals bears is beautyful? you need a doctor
Yep, it sure is. And how this man does it is art.
@@zprudentblade wenking on your face is an art animalmurder
I wish to some day hunt with Billy.just gotta get my stars aligned.great man and excellent guide.awesome to be that in touch with nature and Alaska.absolute beautiful piece of this earth.im hooked on watching Billy's videos.
That would be cool if he gifted one of his viewers to he with him one day for a hunt someone with experience tho
I’ve harvested many black bears here in Virginia on the edge of the Great Dusmal Swamp, but watching these giants and the men who hunt them are all awe inspiring! I hope that future generations are able to experience Alaska!
One of the greatest bear hunting videos of all time, unreal footage, and very informative explanations and knowledge.
This was one of, if not the best hunting video I've ever watched. I was sorry it was only 2 hours long. Very well done.
I think that Billy is a highly skilled hunting technician when it comes to bringing hunter and game together. Patience is a virtue.
Thank you. Hunting is the easy part. Dealing with a new personality every 10 days, keeping them safe, and leading them to a trophy animal is the challenge. That said 95% of my hunters are GREAT!
@@moderndaymountainman8130 Yep, I think Humans require more patience than Critters. - N Idaho -
You are a damn badass Billy. Love your passion, drive, and most importantly mental strength. Not a Hunter, guide, or filmmaker out there stands up to ya.
you guys showed some class , you waited till they finished....LOL
Wow beautiful bear. Congratulations on that second bear. Very nice.
Thanks for a realist view into a Brown Bear Hunt, you see so many 22 minute hunting and outdoor channel hunts that make it all seem easy and successful, seeing the grind nad the physical and emotional challenges is exciting and inspiring! Exactly why I choose to hunt and spend as much time in the outdoors as possible
Billie, what was the measurement of Robs bear, Blondie, did not have measurements on video. MARK ,SOUTH LA. great video as usually. Take care....
9’11”
Great video! I love the journey you posted ... never been a hunter, and I’m 50/50 on killin bears lol, but on Dec 26 2020 your video brought me peace and a sense of calm in the midst of the whole crazy 2020 ... God bless you and your family ... thanks again for posting
I bl
Billy praise God for the sights, sounds and interpretations to bear hunting. I've never hunted a bear but my brother-in-law hunts with a bow. Enjoyed the experience by video.. Thank you.
What a great video! Helped to pass the time while recovering from surgery and seeing country I probably won't ever get to. I've killed everything I've wanted to in the lower 48/west and nature truly is great for getting close to our maker and appreciating all He does for us. Thanks Billy for great videos that take us there!
Thank you. Much appreciated.
I àgree 100 per çent
@@moderndaymountainman8130 billy I’ve made this comment on many of your videos hoping for a response. Can u please tell me what calibers hunters use for each animal and what is the minimum and maximum. Also is a 300. Win Mag ok for bear?
Lonnie, first shot very good. That can be a tough shooting position if you cannot get your shoulder against something solid. Great Guide.
Great video, great adventure thanks for taking all of us with you !
Well done to both hunters and well done on the video!!!! Couldn’t stop watching and sad that it ended!!!!
Love your videos, makes a guy feel like he's right there with ya,minus the burning legs and and cold mornings in a tent. Saw you in person a few years ago in Argyle, MN. Great presentation! Glad I found your channel, hope to see more of your adventures in the future.
Happy to hear.
I appreciate your statement that said that we couldn’t learn and see all of nature in a thousand lifetimes. Since mankind was/is intended to live on the earth (it was created for us) for an eternity, it’s easy to see the truth of that statement and it deepens in me the hope of being a part of that ‘new heavens and new earth.’ Thank you Billy, for the work that you do, and sharing it with us!
Love your videos Billy. New subscriber. Thank you so much!
Truly a man who guides and hunts from a passion in his heart for the love of nature and the outdoors which clearly appears to be in tune with the
Spirit of all that has been created by God. If ever I could go on a hunt this would be the man I would want to go with not only because he is a guide but because of his person . Thanks so much for these truly amazing videos
I am truly grateful for these video's I know I will never have the money to go on one of these but if I did I would only want Billy to guide me I have watched lots of these videos and I feel the spirit of God when watching Billy Molls
Thank you sir.
I think your right.
I am old but the way you hunt I believe I could do it! I would still love to go. I have hauled tons of elk out of the big mountains. Yes, actual tons! Great video! I did a fantastic backpack sheep hunt when I was 57. It was a great hunt like yours. Walked my tail off, ran out of food so we ate sheep after we packed it down to firewood. Every hunter should go try it!
It makes me so proud to share the world with a man who dont let go when the chips are down your a pretty amazing guy .love your videos
"No brother good n law of mine" classic!
Awesome videos Billy some are quite inspiring
I'm not a hunter but, I enjoyed every minute of this video. Great job
Who in there sane mind would give this man a thumbs down
Good one. I can't believe its raining. As I recall, after years of numerous trips to the Peninsula I crawled out of my tent late one morning and there was an alien space ship in the sky blinding my eyes. Scared the heck out of me. I recovered when I realized it was the sun. Great videos and commentary.
🤣
god bless you brothers. huge respect! loved every minute watching.
Great film. You have a talent for film and guiding. Amazing what you go through solitude wise waiting between hunters. But that pilot!!! Give him a raise. That guy has nerves, or he is just that good! Lol. I love watching the takeoffs.
Looking forward to seeing your next video. Smooth crossings are a good thing. Be safe and have fun.
a wonderful couple of hunts , just being in that majestic place that would make it all worth it . Wow Billy absolutely wow !!!
Bill is awesome!
By far the best hunt I've watched, to watch and experience through your eyes and narrative. Spectacular, thank you
Check out Steve Rinella and Cameron Hanes. They have some epic hunts.
WELL I GOTTA SAY THIS 2 HR VIDEO

Really enjoyed it Billy, thanks for posting!
Great hunts and video well done !
I fell asleep and gave you over 4 hours of view time. Off to bed now…Great video, thanks 👍
It's a huge huge dream of mine and I won't lie at the number 1 spot on my bucket list to be able to go hunting with Billy on a duel hunt and chase both mega monster bull moose and huge brown bears in my home state of Alaska....hands down by far among the greatest and best videos I have and still watch sir...Fine fine job Billy your amazing and the passion you have for every hunt you take part in shows 1000% in your videos and content....FINE JOB..
This is absolutely amazing such gorgeous country keep making these videos please!
Well filmed, great watch

loved the client filming himself be hind you filming. Good Fun !!!
Thank you for your reply on guns used !
I'm loving these videos! Billy, you're the kind of man any father would be proud of. I am happy I discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing!!
Hunting was always my hobby and even from my childhood I was raised up on hunting trips with my grandfather and uncles. I was an entrepeter and a guide on Altai Ibex and Altai Argali sheep hunting trips 10 years ago in Mongolia. I foremost impressed with you as fellaw guide. I inspired by your guiding expertise and compassion. I will definitlty want go back to my past times and pursue hunting trips someday. Thanks for the video.
Excellent video. Well done Lonnie, Bob and Billy.
One of the best videos ive seen
Billy, I have no idea how much you earn, but you earn every cent of it!! Thanks for this really nice hunting video. I hope your health issues have cleared up. Greetings from Germany.
1,000 bucks a day
I would love to go hunting with you brother! Bless you much
Loved the technical info on Rob’s rifle and caliber, loads etc. Would like more of that.
Your hunt videos are my favorite ones to watch. Very well put together.
Nice presentation, good guys, lots of fun! I totally enjoyed the after footage of the snoozers.....nothing beats a nice nap on a sunny hillside. Thanks!
your videos are the best!
Having a drink at the end of a long day is ok. A drink in celebration of a good hunt
nicely done video's!
This was one of the best hunting videos I've seen. It was full of good nature shots. Great camera work. 🤠🏕👋
When in the USAF and college, wrestled heavyweight at 235 lbs. and 5 % bodyfat. We back-packed most of the primitive areas in Idaho; I used to pack cans of stew, green beans and potatoes. We weighed my backpack one time for a 10 day trip; it weighed 83 lbs. We used to go straight up mountains and pack in about two days just to get to where almost no one ever went.
Then again, even in the summer for wrestling, we ran ten miles four days a week in just over an hour. During wrestling season, we ran an hour, lifted weight for 1.5 hours or so and had practice in the afternoon for 1.5 hours. We were in shape that not one in 50,000 people ever achieve.
So exciting!
Billy has the best hunts!
Lonnie is pretty awesome as well.
Great video Billy! I truly enjoyed it!
I thoroughly enjoy your posts. I wish there were more.
Great real HUnting! Pleasent to watch :)
Lonnie seems like the kind of Hunter that anyone would love to hunt with.
