- We head out into the Alaskan wilderness with the iconic moose as our target, and although we fall short as this month long hunting season leaves us with no meat, we remain grateful to take away the memories of an incredible experience.

When my grandparents and great grandparents homesteaded in Alaska in the 1920s, the men all went off to hunt moose and left the women at home with the children. They came back unsuccessful which meant they might starve in the winter. But while they were gone, my great grandmother shot a huge bull moose in their front yard. Great family story.
Kathy Johnson haha that's awesome! Thanks for sharing that with us!
Kathy Johnson what an awesome story to keep telling to future generations .
I love the serenity
Good job granny!
Alright 👍 grandma!
You nailed it on the head when you said you felt like you were moving to much. Now that you have found your spots stick to them and call. Early season stay away from cow calling, use lots of scraping and racking. Then a few grunts. Later season is when you can get them to respond a lot with cow calls. I don't know your situation and how far you'd like to travel but there is no size limits in the interior. And look into caribou tags or hunts. Sometimes a lot easier. Enjoying your videos.. good luck.
"aaaannnd we blew two rear axles...."
Favorite part of the video not because it happened to you but because I've been in that place where everything just goes wrong.. enjoyed the scenery and appreciate that you show your failures as well as success.
Eric bring a boat anchor with you. Get the type that you can stick in the mud out in front of your machine and then winch to it. Works great
Thank you for not clickbaiting! I instantly unsub from channels that lie or try to "salesmen" about their titles or videos. Shoot me straight & you guys do 👍
Everyone whitness someone being honest and not after clickbait for once!!! Hat off to you two all day long!
I’m so glad you’re back! I got really worried that something had happened to you two! Sorry about your moose hunt
Happy to see you back safe and sound. Sorry you didn't get a moose. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
I love ALL your videos ! I think that tonight I saw all of them since the beginning ! You improved a lot !!!!! Love to you Both from France and Bulgaria !
We love watching everything you too do.thank you.
Glad you guys are back.
Such beautiful country you live in. Great footage and thank you once again!
What fantastic photography and capturing of beautiful scenes in September Alaska!!!
It’s always an adventure.... flat tire no moose. What wonderful views you shot though. I’ll bet you had fun..!! The winter crunch. Nice to see you two. Missed seeing your videos..!! Have a fantastic day you two..!!
Glad you're all safe - 'gnarly' is kind of an understatement! Amazing work, you two, even if no moose meat. :D
I am completely impressed with you guys! Please keep doing this!!
Loving all of your content. Keep up all the awesome videos!!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenic areas in Alaska. The hunting may have not gone your way, but imo it’s always an adventure when your out and about. Getting stuck in mud is not only an adventure, but a lesson in knowing your surroundings in each season and the possibilities of what to expect next time. Good luck on your next hunting trip.
Sorry about your hunting season. I think it's awesome you tell us you came up empty this year. Tells me you two are honest people. Looking forward to more video's.
Wow! That was quite the adventure. Thank you for bringing us along! Better luck next time.
Missed u guys.glad you’re safe ❤️🇨🇦
So happy to see you back... moosed you, love your honest real video, its all learning :)
Funny you mentioned the cow moose sounded like a chainsaw as when I used to work in the bush after an hour of cutting I would look up and many times there would be a bull moose standing off in the distance, they are curious creatures by nature...Best of luck next year....and another great video.
Crazy beautiful scenery and filming you guys. That six wheeler was handling some tough terrain. How cool to be able to drive it right from your cabin and not have to haul it to the trail. T-shirt weather? I was wondering if it got cold where you are at until I saw your snow footage. We went from 60 degree days to 40 degrees in a hurry. What a great adventure and learning experience. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Glad to see you both back! I’d been wondering how things were going. Bummer about not bagging a moose, but as you said, it takes practice and learning. You sure seem to be very determined and persistent people to put all that time and effort into hunting and everything else. Awesome 6 wheeler by the way - and excellent videography. Cheers from Australia. Regards, Jeff. 👍😀
Happy to see you back on.
Better luck next year.
God designed the world so but we human destroyed it. I'm so glad for you guys you are still living in such an original place
If it makes you feel better, my last 3 seasons of hunts were more of just a week of taking the gun for a walk in the woods. Maybe this year I will get one. So glad you are back with a fantastic video. That must have been one big damn wolf to leave those tracks.
When I moved up here 20 years ago first thing I heard was you need a boat or a plane to really see Alaska. Every year I live here confirms that.
J Man we couldn't agree more ☺
Awesome we were actually in Alaska visiting when you made this video
I was hoping you were going to take us on a hunt, what a great video. Thank you. Sure is some beautiful country you live in and that was some serious offroading. You will get one next year. Looking forward to more videos.
Great to see you guys back! I am looking forward to seeing you prepare for your Alaska winter from my Florida apartment 😁
What an absolutely beautiful place to live. Better luck next year. 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Keep those awesome videos coming. Love the scenery. And the both of you.
BRIAN KOBAYASHI thank you, we truly appreciate that 😁
Awww. Better luck next time guys. But view was stunning. Thank you for the tour.
That country is so beautiful. I am glad you guys stayed together and didn't solo hunt this year. Hopefully you got a ton of those blueberries :0) They looked delicious. Can you guys stake out a base camp for next year and stage supplies going into hunting season, or is that not permitted? I have never hunted Moose, but I have heard they are really hard. I look forward to your upcoming videos. Keep up the awesome work! You guys are great! :0)
Stormy Tuesday we may be looking at doing something like that in the future. We left our dogs at home and didn't want to find someone to care for them if we were gone for more than a day (and to take care of the chickens) for this season but making a camp would have been much wiser 😀
Wow great views of Alaska in all her Majesty and the Mountains look wonderful!!!!
OhMyGosh! Is that what Moose are attracted to? Scared the heck outta me. Sorry it was a bust, but you guys are doing SO much, both on the original property and the new property, that there’s no way you’ll go hungry ❤❤❤ Thanks once again for sharing your wonderful life in Alaska
Great Video! Missed you guys. Loved the scenery. You live in what I consider to be possibly one of the most beautiful places on earth. Glad you were able to share it with us. Look forward to the next.
Hello my lovelies, I have missed seeing you on here and I was giving it until this weekend before I sent a message asking if you were both okay and here we are on a Tuesday for us here in Australia and you put up a video. I'm so happy you are both fine and I'm glad you got out to experience some moose hunting and finding your hunting grounds. Next year with be exciting and I'm positive that you will be canning moose next year. Looking forward to seeing what wonderful videos you have coming up. Stay warm and safe. Hugs, Michelle
Beautiful video, guys! Sorry no moose. Great to see you two!💗
Good to see you both. Sorry hunting didn't go so well but like you said it was your first Moose hunt. Looking forward to seeing you soon
Ive been in some rough spots hunting but the mud holes were much smaller and the rocks holes shorter. I cringed a couple times trying to imagine the work you two were doing to get afield. I hope things work out better next season. Thanks for the video.
good optics and a spotting scope,,,
plus the birch bark horn to get your calling out further and you could improve your luck
The sunset at the 14:04 mark would of made a great photo to hang on the wall 👍
yup them trails do look really rough ! thanks,,so much adventure !!
Hey! I just moved to Alaska! And I just found your channel!
Sam Smith well welcome to Alaska! 😀✌
I had a feeling you were finishing up with your garden or hunting and with winter approaching it’s understandable there’s no time to waste.
Love the scenery.
Better Luck next season :-) Thanks for sharing your adventures
Glad to see you guys back here
beautiful snow place
Hi guys I am a big fan of yours from stockton California
Such a gorgeous and rugged place to live. Your no-win moose hunting is great experience for the next season. How about bartering your amazing veggies for some meat with other locals? Can't wait for the root cellar update! 🤓
I would never survive off the grid. You two impress me!
Hey youngins..... taking two "small" moose horns or 2X4 2 foot long hard wood with cloth wrapped handles (increases vibration effect) have done these things personally & they worked..... plus a small voice cone for calls10" lip 12" long to a 3" mouth piece amplifies sounds greatly.....also can be handmade easily..... tin, aluminum, plastic, thick cardboard....good hunting next year... Rev. Paul M Vining Sr.
Great stuff, it's about trial and error & living and learning 👍👍👍😃✌️
Just breath taking views.
Nice, people see people with moose, caribou and don't realize how the roads or better, trails are to get to the great hunting spots... they don't know about the mud, quicksand, thick low brush, or fast rivers... Thanks for posting this... for those who do watch it will give them a realistic view. My daughter and her hubby had to walk out 6 miles after they stuck their ATV in a mud bog like that one... a large portion of the walk was just that deep thick mucky mud. Sorry you all didn't get your moose...
I just came across ur videos & enjoying watching your lifestyle. I'm from the mid-eastern region of the lower 48, Ik during the season for deer, I would make sure my tags covered a doe or buck...for me it's always been about harvesting for food, not a trophy like so many sports hunters out there. I feel if that's all they want they shouldn't be hunting. But that's my opinion, I think it should be for survival. I'm sorry that you both were unsuccessful this year. Next year I hope goes well for you. You can be like me...as long as it's legal male, female, & in last hope a yearling, I take my first shot cuz to me its about my family's dinner table & survival.
Beautiful country. When we would come home empty handed, we just called it hiking with guns. It is never a waste of time.
Two suggestions. A cool moose call I learned from a very remote Athabascan Elder in the 1970's and another about black bear meat. So first-off it's better to be very very far away from your ATV. This trick depends on a slu, a big puddle or pond or lake (most running water won't work) and of course being wind-wise to the moose area your targeting. Be able to hide also. You can bring a collapsable bucket, but the natives I was around just carried a bucket; this is mostly a bull call. You take the bucket and fill it and then slowly pour the water out into the body of water trying to make the sound of a cow peeing; of course it helps it you've heard this before but a logical guess will often work. And of course you can't repeat the pours close together time-wise - duhhhh!
A caution some newbies over look on black bear hunting is avoid bears near fish areas we call fish-bears - that meat is mostly un edible but fine for dogs. But for my bucks my favorite roast of all times is a berry-n-grass black bear. Plus IF it's legal where you are sometimes yes other times no - Peanut Butter is one mean bear-bait. Put lots of garlic on top and onions but most important finely chopped celery (lots) and roast elevated above bottom of pan (Cast Iron dutch Oven sitting on your wood stove at low heat for HOURS till you can put a table-knife into it and turn the knife with close to ZERO torgue - that meat will just literally fall apart and melt so so tasty into your mouths. Once again you folks were already Alaskans way BEFORE you ever even thought of moving here - but your HOME now and best wishes.
ARK-543 Associates wow awesome tips thank you! We are thinking of baiting black bear next year, good bears here with lots of blueberries!
This is crazy!! The title says Unsuccessful and I also know from future videos that you definitely didn't get one but I'm still watching hoping you do!
Hello ! Good to see your back. That's what I thought it was hunting of some sort. When you talked about the bear kill moose the hair stood up on the back of my neck . Be careful , Be safe . Enjoyed very much. 👍👍💖🤗
Your videos are always good I like them
Great video !
I love watching you guys bomb around in that Polaris. That thing is a real shit kicker. Best thing ever.
For getting meat have you all considered getting on the moose salvage program for those that are hit by cars? I know someone on it and they usually get a couple of moose per winter because of it. Have never seen them without moose meat as a result.
Angie Middleton we are hoping to get on that list soon ☺
My buddy was on the road kill list and got a moose off of Chena hot springs road in Fairbanks last year. That’s the way to do it...
Me thinks, maybe you should have an Argo....... :-) I love the area you have to hunt, it's beautiful.
Awesome you're back. How are the chicken's and are they laying yet. Peace from Montana. P.s. we got snow on September 27 2019.
Keith Hardesty they started laying 2 weeks ago 😀 snow is early this year or on time I guess.
All Moose are by nature, Camera-shy.....YEAH!!!!...that's what it is! :D
I appreciate the video quality, it looks great cast from my PC to my HD TV.
Another great video! Those Polaris six wheelers are not known for dependability .... I would not take one out without another wheeler to tow it back... Look for a late 90s Suzuki 300 King quad 4 wheeler... Or a 250 Suzuki quad runner... There simply amazing for pulling logs, moose, and they have low, med and high range, with manual locking front differential... But the best thing is they Never brake down and will not leave you thirty miles out in the woods... Going out in the bush with just one vehicle in Alaska is not a great idea... Bad things can happen very fast, and very unexpectedly...
One more thing. For the cost of hunting moose, bear, sheep, caribou,,, you could buy and eat prime rib daily!!! Lol
Glad to c u back on. Tha moose is on tha loose. Better luck next time.
Loved the video....but those bear tracks...you need a bigger gun, vehicle....oh hell bigger everything. Oh and I forgot to mention someone you both can outrun...lol
Hello !!! Great experience, awesome video. Was worried.
Some of those roads looked like wet concrete! Yikes! Usual great video/story of unusual (to me) adventure.
Well, ugh. You’re right though. You learned a lot and will be successful next year for sure. Hang in there! Looking forward to the cellar update.
Bummed. I get it. No one can fault you. Learning takes time. Stay strong.
Good luck next year guys.
I love the gnarly trails comment. I concur with that statement 😂
I think my brother in law sums up moose season pretty well. “80% luck 20% skill”.
I figured you guys were hitting it hard due to the lack of videos. Good to see a new video.
Those 6x6s are really nice.
it is the other way around, but most be leave the way you say and thats why the drive the roads counting on luck, jumping one, but i have shot moose they have chased off the road going so fast, if i do drive a road, it is no faster the 1 to 2 mph

My Alaska Dream those trails...they got so torn up this past month, from us too 😟 at least we will be driving around less next year. Take care!
It was so quiet could we not hear the birds or was it the mic. Fantastic camera views of the landscape, perfect time to film with the fall colors like they are. :) peace And good luck hunting.
Yeah flew up there for moose season, it was way too warm, great camping weather terrible moose hunting weather, alot of people didn't fill tags this year
Heck!
Nice adventure and you need faliures in between to call something a success.
May Diana follow your hunting trail next time!
This was an awesome video to watch and thank you again for sharing , you are a great team and will no doubt master Moose hunting as you have most other things you both tackle ... congrats as well on your new 6x6 it looks like a keeper :) .
New sub. Fairbanks area. We are in unit 20B. I put in like 18 days this year on my 400 king quad. some with my bow. Never got a shot at anything. We are spike fork or larger bull for 15 days. Bulls are hard to find here nowadays.
I was blessed with a caribou from the fourtymile hunt so we will do good with meet. Hope you guys do good!
Hunting is hard but should always be fun. Maybe next year.
Call the MatSu Field and game and ask about getting on the moose recovery list. The information is all over the place on who can/cannot get on. Use to be individuals and then groups, and now I dont know. You just have to be ready to go and quarter it out, even if its 0 dark thirty or they go to the next person.
Alaskan Nate thank you we are trying to get on that list, it needs to be 3 people ☺
yessss i have been waiting for you to upload ! :)
You guys are very adventurous!! Awesome! Probably need a second machine out there with you in case u breakdown. Hope u are equipped for multiple overnight stays if necessary. Enjoy
awesome adventure, maybe a wall tent to stay in when ur out hunting would help with long travel times chewing up hunting time, and maybe you'll bag a moose next year
no moose ... RATS... great vid guys..peace out
I missed the rat hunt.🤔
Polaris is a good machine but it won't hold up in hard use. Broken axles and bent A arms are par. Go to 6 or 10 ply tires. I get mine from tire buyer. com. I went to 14" wheels but the 6wheeler probably won't allow that. Yamaha or Honda will serve you better than Polaris and a good other choice is Textron{Arctic Cat}. They aren't fancy but they are bullet proof tough.
If it was me I would look for an old argo or other 6x6 or 8x8. Even better would be an old coot ATV as they are absolutely reliable. There are plans to build one for yourself with modern materials that can be gotten from any farm supply store. They are not as fast but will carry as much as the Polaris and have only a 6 to 10 hp brigs/honda type engine. They are very fuel-efficient. The other thing I would recommend would be a rokon 2 wheel ATV pulling a clamshell single wheel trailer sleep/rest in and haul out the moose. It will carry both of you and cargo. There are other designs that fold out to a 6x8 floor and a tent.
Great video. Homesteaders i say never fail at anything we are always learning to make it better. next year your will get one. Now is there any other kinda of hunting still you could do? Deer, Bear, birds or Elk at this time of year?
Our Cabin In The Woods we are planning on fishing, grouse and snow hare hunting this winter but waiting until spring for black bear ☺
Bummer guys but your positive attitude is great!
Great video y’all thanks for sharing. Miss the mountains. Love the side by side
I don't envy you with the bears. Our biggest is a Koala ;) Looking forward to your winter experiences.
What about the drop bears? 😜🤣
You 2 gave it a good try. Try to find a area less traveled and do more walking calling and waiting. if it was easy everyone would be doing it. 6X6 is better than a 4x4. They all break stuff but Polaris is better at breaking than others . LOL
Glad you’re back
I thought the begging was that guy without teeth crying meme
I saw this UA-cam Channel from Australia, where this guy used a product to put under your wheels if you got stuck. They're called "Maxtrac" $300. A little pricey for the average off roader. That muck you were in, sh.. .
