    Join Randy Newberg and his son, Matthew, on a special mule deer hunt in Colorado. It's been 20 years since Randy last hunted this tag, and now Matthew has the opportunity to chase mule deer in the same terrain. As they navigate the hunt, Randy reflects on the changes he's seen over the last two decades-from oil and gas exploration to rural subdivisions-impacting the landscape and wildlife habitat. This episode is more than just a hunt; it's a look at how human pressures have shaped the places we cherish.

    I love that Randy gets to hunt with his son. But damn, watching Matthew drives me nuts. No excitement, no urgency. When he's looking at animals, its like watching a guy choose if he wants mashed potatoes or baked beans with his dinner.

      You don’t know many Minnesotans, apparently. Mathew is normal and polite. For a Minnesotan Randy is basically Jim Carry.

      That’s best part ….i think it’s mostly cuz Matthew knows he gets rise out of his old man.

    I really appreciate Matthew's calm approach to picking a good situation. No blood lust, just enjoying his time in the hills.

    I think it’s pretty awesome that you are making a point to spend that time together as a father and son. I missed an opportunity to do a father son whitetail hunt in 2017 with my brother and Dad when my first son was born and always wanted another chance to do a hunt like that with my dad. Those experiences are worth so much and I am thankful the times I still get to spend time with him in something we both enjoy. Great hunt and thanks for sharing! I know Matthew will be grateful for those times u r making for each other too

    My brother and I lost our father when he was just 46. I was 24 and my brother was 18. We were both 3 sport athletes in HS and were also college athletes. Our parents never missed an event. I say that only because of how much it meant to us to have parents that cared enough to be engaged in our activities like they were.
    Dad introduced us to small game hunting at a young age and we hunted often. After our dad passed my brother and I took it to another level and began hunting elk in 2003. I am sure glad we did.
    I am 56 now and recently lost my brother to cancer. I am now alone, but the one thing I do have is all of the memories of hunting with my brother ..... and I have our father to thank for that.
    It is really enjoyable watching you and your son interact and have a great time together doing what you both love to do and create these memories as you do it. From someone who knows how quickly these opportunities can vanish ...... priceless.

      Sorry to hear about your brother and father. I treasure these moments hunting with family, for the reasons you understand better than anyone. Good luck this season.

    Great video Randy. I'm glad you were able to make it work and have this hunt with Matthew and also glad Marcus was able to be there too. AWESOME HUNT, great times, beautiful area and animals. Thank you for what you guys do. You are and will always be my inspiration. I became more involved with hunting and also teaching hunter education to the Latino community because of your videos Randy. Hunting saved my life while dealing with a lot of PTSD Army related issues. I'm still working those issues, but I'm in a much better place, THANK YOU RANDY and CREW 🙏✌til next time ...

    Mathew is one of those guys that goes to a restaurant and asks the waiter so many questions, the chef comes out of the kitchen to go over the entire menu and every, single, ingredient. After everyone else is done eating, Mathew finally orders and when his food comes, he sends it back to the kitchen because the grill marks on his wagyu aren’t parallel.

    From the last few hunts with Matthew it looks like you fully indoctrinated him into the church of the 7mm08 and made him put down his old dark ways with the 300wm. (being fecicious). Good to see you and your son out hunting. Apprecieate his morals in hunting,and being ethical to the animal.

      You already can't hunt in Denver or Boulder. LOL, i know what you mean. We are voting on banning mountain lion hunting in the state currently. I voted NO.

    I hear Randy lamenting that our lifestyle demands an ever increasing energy production and the toll for the increase in population and demand for natural resources is a loss of habitat for mule deer populations. In my part of Kansas we used to have a good population of pheasants. Today you hardly see one. Changing farming practices and an increase in predators seem to have been detrimental to our pheasant populations. However, in contrast you can see whitetail deer almost daily where 50 years ago they were very rare.

    I started watching this for a deer hunt not an oil and gas bashing all the wile he is driving a gas powered truck that I am sure has less then 100,000 miles on it….maybe he wants to see that hole area covered in solar panels instead of trees
