    Awesome hunting story. And to be able to do it with a close friend. I’m 55yrs old now and I shot my first deer with a bow when I was 13 yrs old. My father was with me for that hunt. Great memory.

    I was an archer 40 years ago and in the army, but haven't picked up either weapons since I left but my friend has a 4 some that gets a tag here every year and share it and since they are alone I normally get a roast or something. Next year I think I have to get my license as one just passed away so I have to get my license as I love Moose burgers and roasts....love them. Never had bear yet.

    interesting review of the sponsor ... I am not one to normally sit through that part ... this is the third sponsor of yours I have watched ... everytime i do i see an honest review backed with personal experience and results in an unbiased way ....
    the battery system you use .. the other supplement you use ... and now this one .... this is the only channel I have done that with (Emily's too when she on more) ... i hope these sponsors do more even collaborate together to fund a series where all 3 can shine ... perhaps a sauna wash house build with fishing or hunting trips for food supplies while building ... done as a family ...
    this would be a good expansion an demonstration of all 3 of your best sponsors and improve your site and provide good content for your channel also ... now you just need a Cali food sponsor that matches your goals as well

    Having watched several hunts online both rifle and bow, the sheer difficulty, adrenaline dump, and trailblazing miles on foot hauling 5oo lbs out of the bush is not conveyed in Shawns humble narrative. This man is truly a god like Hunter, and friend to drop everything and answer the call of the wild. Thank you, I can't wait for some more pics, and I hope next time you are wearing a police chest cam. Who knew your story online was truly a call to action vs an opportunity to live vicariously through your epic film making. Unfortunately a year from now the majority of us will wish we had at least attempted to take action and prepare for a new way of life that is to come and now is.

    I used to call them in here in AB. Never shot one with a bow but I remember missing a 2 year old at about 6 feet with a rifle. He was too close to see in the scope. I called him in from about 300 yards. He came in at a dead run. I was behind a small spruce he was on the other side. All I could see was his head. I used to shoot one every year but haven't in many years since I turned mostly vegetarian. After I got good at calling them and knew where they typically rutted it was like shooting fish in a barrel. I'm glad I missed that young bull in hindshight. I prefer not killing things nowadays. I enjoyed the time outdoors. Still do. I called several in for fun with my wife. Had to chase some away. Dumb as dirt in the rut. Lol. Good memories. Congrats on the hunt :)

    Huge congrats .... you've had one heck of a hunting season. Yes, you have to put in the work .... and that may be too much for me now unfortunately. I have always been about the place I hunt and fish ..... more so than the actual harvest. If I'm going to be in the woods from sunup to sundown, it has to be in a place I really enjoy. Most of my memories are about sitting and watching the woods wake up. You are definitely doing it right, and are making your own wonderful memories for yourself, your wife and girls, plus the pups you've had over the years. Cali is living her best life for sure🦮 Take care, and continued success in all you do Shawn👍🏻✌🏻🌲🍁🏹
