Idaho boy (54 year old man)...just had my 2nd hand surgery in less than a year & I typed in Maine moose hunting...and your vid popped up. As soon as I saw your pops pull out the box of ammo...I knew I was in for a treat. Miss my old man & our hunts together. So cool to see 3 generations spending time outdoors together. Congrats on everything about your hunt!! Living a moral & ethical life....is a blessing in so many ways. I trust your moose tastes extra special.
If this doesn’t show true sportsmanship I don’t know what does. You all showed so much love and respect for that animal as he was suffering. Not every hunter would’ve made the decision you made. An amazing hunt, congratulations to you all 👏
Thank you so much! We aim to show the ethical & sportsmanship side of hunting in every piece we share. We're glad you enjoyed our film and we appreciate your comment!
As a hunter I enjoyed the full story of this hunt but as a photographer I TRULY think the production value of this video is absolutely top notch!!!!! This shows Maine Moose Hunting in its best light and the Beauty of our wonderful state!!!! Congrats and Thank You!!!!!
The gift IS being with each other, hunting together! An animal is just a bonus to a fantastic time!!
It all happened the way it was supposed to. Congrats on a true hunt 👏
Your best work. Today the river delivered meaning over glory, all things on to themselves. All because you were being your true selves
Gift… Is a poor description of what is meant to be
awesome video , and a great lesson to every hunter , a reminder that hunting is a previledge not a right and we all like to make a quick kill so the animals dont suffer , that bull was not the tipical trophy ,but he is one of the best because he opened hearts and exposed the true meaning of being an ethical hunter is , you saved him a horrible death and suffering and he gifted you with his life giveing meat , God Bless you
Amazing film @HuntingME, such a powerful story!
Awesome adventure. You definitely did the right thing by taking that moose.
Thank you very much guys! There was no way we could walk away from that. The North Woods is full of all sorts of surprises and gifts.
Well done. Great story, moments in time, forever memories, and bonding.
Great stuff guys, really enjoy your films. The story is what matters, the meat will be gone in a year, the antlers will get dusty and forgotten about but the memories is what will last.
Couldn't of said it better ourselves, thank you for watching!
After meeting you at the Maine Outdoors broadcast I had to watch your video. It met all of Paul's comments and then some about the caliber of your videos. I will definitely encourage all my friends to check your channel. Keep up the great work! I think you set a new standard for hunting videos....a very high bar.
Awesome job! I can’t say enough good things about this video. Glad I met you guys at Huntstock!
Hands down one of the BEST films I’ve seen, let alone an outdoors film. Super inspiring and well done!
This is amazing. Awesome videography, and excellent job capturing the raw moments that made up this difficult hunt!
Amazing video! True sportsmanship!
Thank you Mark!
Again… Great video guys. You shared the real life moose hunt. The family experience. Thank you.
Thank you Pat! Appreciate all your support bud!
Man you guys put together some of the best films out there!!! Top to bottom! I will always watch your films!
Thank you so much for your support! Glad you enjoy our films and hopefully we'll have a couple more for you soon!
EXCELLENT!!!
What a gift indeed!!
Great family of hunters...
Very much appreciated Jeff!
Fantastic video my son’s and I were hunting moose couple years ago took 4 days but the bond we had was the best days of my life great video thanks for sharing
A moose hunt can really bring everyone closer together. Even if in the moment when you're in the thick of it there is some tension, it forms a bond that lives on forever!
Such a great hunt and and a great capture of what our part really is supposed to be. It certainly isnt to go out and shoot the biggest animal in the woods. Well done on the hunt and the film.
Thank you very much!
Incredible video. Every hunt is special and your team enjoyed the hunt together. So glad Bangor Daily News steered me to your video! Good hunting this fall….
What a great hunt. Quality camerawork, this is awesome!!
Another spectacular showing, lads. This is what it's all about. So many hunting films try to just show how tough and strong everyone is, but this was different. Showing the camaraderie and care you all have for one another, and being able to step back and see how it all fits into the bigger picture is something that we all could use a little more of.
Thank you Jake! Appreciate your support over the years. Maybe one day we can get you back on the East coast for a hunt in Maine..
Class act decision!!! You guys are impressive and a reason why more hunters should watch your videos. Congratulations keep ‘‘em coming!!
Thank you very much! Trying to keep Maine tradition and heritage alive!
Awesome video!
This is the best video I've ever watched on UA-cam. You all came together in the end. The moose that Will shot was meant to happen that way. I say a greater power from above put the injured moose there to be taken care of. So amazing listening to Will talk to the boy about why he shot it and then skinning it together. I think everyone there learned something from that hunt. The boy ( sorry I can't remember his name) will be a great hunter too. Watching them together I had tears in my eyes. Thank you for making the video for anyone to watch. Peace be with you always. From Nova Scotia Canada
Barry, thank you so much for your comment! We don't do this for high fews or a large following, we do it for comments like yours. It means the world to us when someone takes the time to watch our films and then leave a thoughtful comment. Hope you and yours don't get affected by the fires going on right now, stay safe!
Once again, you have dove deep into the emotional/spiritual character of hunting and and the outdoor traditions of Maine. Very well done! 👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
Thank you so much Shane!
A prime example of how success can and should be measured in various ways.
As with all of your content, outstanding effort assembling the highs and lows of a northwoods hunt for all to enjoy. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You guys are true sportsmen. Thank you for this footage. I've been lucky enough to draw twice in Maine. Those long weeks in the Maine clear cuts are no joke. This shows eveything an outdoorsman needs to realize about hunting the Northeast.
It definitely is not an easy task to tackle a moose hunt, let alone in 6 days in remote territory. Hope your hunts were successes! Are you in the moose lottery for tomorrow?
@@huntingme yes I am !!! Good luck
Outstanding.....makes a fella sad to think of how many people go through life never getting to experience this. Beautiful work lads.
We are very grateful for the opportunities Maine provides us. Something we never want to take for granted!
Awesome video - congrats
Thanks for watching Ed!
I really enjoyed the showing tonight in Brunswick.The Gift really does a beautiful job capturing the highs and lows (the work) of a moose hunt. Too many folks think that a moose hunt is as simple as shooting a cow in a pasture. Your effort earned the gift. Well done Gents!
Thank you so much for coming out Rich! Glad you had a good time, and we really appreciate the support!
What a fantastic family adventure! You can’t script the real story, it develops in its own way. I think you all made some tough decisions that ended in the best way possible.
Definitely no way we could have predicted that! It's ironic too because in our last moose hunt "The Dream" it almost went according to a "script". John even says in the intro "If I could write the script for this hunt..." and then a year later the complete opposite happens but it still all came together!
Respect for that hunter
Great video
Hope to meet y’all soon I’m going to getting out there in the woods this weekend see how the land is in my new area
Hope it's looking out there Nick! Thanks for watching. Maybe we'll see you in the North Woods this Fall!
I love maine go up there to spend time in the summer but I haven't done a deer hunt up there in years used to go every Thanksgiving week to hunt
Thanksgiving is a great time to hunt deer up here! We're getting caught up on some editing and will have Thanksgiving buck video dropping soon!
The trials and tribulations of hunting in an excellent film. Did you determine the cause of the wound on the hindquarter?
The attitude of not having to get one vs Having to get one so bad someone took potentially a bad shot and just injured its hind quarters, which 4ft.off and still hit it and Injured it, which it "survived" but most likely wouldn't of made it two weeks, definitely not through the winter.
What hunting packs do all of you use?
We use frame packs when we are packing out moose quarters. They are made by Barney’s. The packs u often see on our backs when we are hunting are made by Kifaru. We strongly believe in both of these companies and highly recommend them. Thanks for watching
I heard you on V OM this evening great show watching a video now the moose hunt in northern Maine in May.
Happy to see ya'll doin what your doin!
