    Mad respect! Glad to see you seeing the big picture. I've seen a lot of your hunting videos and I have to commend you on the work ethic you have and the dedication you put into your videos. You're a class act and a wonderful ambassador for the sport of hunting. Many "hunters" are just what I call "shooters". You my friend are a true hunter. You literally work your butt off and regardless of the result, you show great appreciation for the natural resources and the opportunities made available to you. Your emotions are raw and genuine. Your hunts are always awesome because it's authentic and captures all the highs and lows. Continue to be a wonderful ambassador for the sport, my friend. Keep doing what you do. It's not about the end result, but rather the journey that makes a hunt so enjoyable. You my friend, are bar none, the most legit hunter out there and your videos, they are wonderfully done. No frills and thrills and no dramatic sound effects. You've been able to capture the essence of hunting, something highend production companies fail to do because it lacks authenticity. Please stay safe and make the most of the time you have while you're still young and able. Take care and always remember that you've now become an ambassador for the sport, so carry that burden with pride and always lead by example! Cheers!

    Respect for busting your hump and putting lots of hours in. Really enjoyed this and it shows what a grind hunting can be. True hunters love that grind. Makes a harvest even more special when hard work pays off. Also, even more respect that you let that mother live so she could ensure the survival of her calves. That’s conservation.

    The quality of this is ridiculous. So much respect for the planning and execution it took for the hunt itself as well as the thoughtful videography and narration. PNW hunting is arduous and taxing, and this guy made it about 1000x harder haha. Excellent job, Samong. It may be coming in pt 2, but as someone who frequently hunts solo, I would love to see more discussion on how you keep yourself safe and plan for emergencies. Thank you!

Much more enjoyed that than the music a lot of guys add to their videos. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for a bull to appear with that cow. Good on you - for the reasons you stated - for not killing her.

  • @KimchiJerry

    I hate the sound a deer makes when being attacked by a puma or bear. It’s literally the scariest and spine chilling sound you can ever hear especially out alone in the woods. But great video and even though you’re probably dying inside of desperation, you’re demonstrating what it takes to be a hunter. Mad respect 🫡. For the first time I’m trying out bow hunting next year so I’m preparing myself watching videos as well. Keep them coming 👍

    Outstanding video. I admire how deliberate and purpose driven when you hunt .
    But when that cougar went off making some seriously insane vocals, you took that like a champ.
    In dark timber with a bow, and an apex predator sounding like it's about to go full on crazy. And I saw you down load your gear and didn't see a pistol, I told my wife he was going to get face to face with something.
    A lot of men would have packed up and called it over.
