APPALACHIAN WILD - [FULL 4K FILM] - 5 day Backpack Hunting the Appalachian Mountains

- This is the story of a trip a lifetime in the making.
I grew up learning to appreciate God's creation through hunting, hiking, fishing, and reading the landscape in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. However, I always felt my experience was in some way hindered by the looming sense that out west stood real wilderness and what we enjoyed was simply - subpar.
In this film this thought is put to the test as 3 of my closest friends and I plan and execute the trip of a lifetime in the backcountry of the Appalachian mountains in search of black bear and deer.
APPALACHIAN WILD documents every step of this journey.
Thank you and God bless!

I found the grandfather remark humorous, as I am one. 😄Those mountains are definitely eye candy! Humans should be ashamed of what they have done to the majority of God's creation. Great video, young men.
Thank you sir! Proverbs says gray hair is a crown of glory - nothing but respect and looking forward to it!
Very eloquent and fine visuals of your trip. Well done and thanks for sharing.
@@kevinharper7762 Thank you! God bless!
Fun, Great adventure! Thanks for sharing.. God bless!
Thank you! God bless!
Exceptional film! As someone who hunts the Appalachian's from eastern front in central Maryland out to the Potomac Highlands of the WV panhandle, I appreciate your effort. In The spirt of the longhunters and over mountain men of colonial times!
Thank you sir! Illustrating the unique nature of this part of the world is incredibly important - and a long hunt would certainly be the dream.
Thanks for sharing. I live in central NC but I'm Appalachian born and bred. This made me want to go home.
Thanks for watching! Glad it reminded you of home.
Wow, i can’t even begin to tell you how insane this video is Jack, between the filming, editing, companionship, & sheer talent in making this video, this is insanely impressive & i’m not one bit surprised that it came from Jackson Miller. Your insane love you brother!
Thanks so much brother I genuinely appreciate it more than you know! Love you too man - gotta get you out there with us next time!
I just wanted to thank you for showing people our way of life Jackson. I hope you come back soon so yall can enjoy a true bear hunting trip with me and my family.
If you don't remember me I'm the teenager who was helping yall drag the bear.
@@holdendoane1016 Thank you brother! Appreciate y'all letting us experience it with you for the day - you have an incredible crew. Excited to get up there again soon!
Very well done!! Lots of effort and great results. Thanks for sharing.
hands down the best Appalachian hunting video to date! On par with argali and all the high end western hunting channels and hopefully will encourage more to get out in Appalachia and hunt the backcountry that few people enter anymore. If you get high into Haywood county NC near fines creek you'll find bear... and maybe even a handful of grouse.
Thank you so much! I’ll look into it. Hopefully there will be many more adventures like it, just want to represent the area well.
This is an absolutely amazing video, you all showed what it is to actually hunt no corn or feed plots you guys are out there. We need more of this. Keep it up
Thank you! Definitely a whole different experience than using bait. More coming.
Well done. I enjoyed that. I hope your family still has their log cabin. God has truly blessed you. Good luck
Thank you so much sir and we do! Certainly blessed in that way and grateful for it. God bless!
Awesome video great to see other north ga mtn hunters
Thank you! Unique experience.
That is fantastic!!! Well done lads!
Thanks for watching!
great film
Truly appreciate it!
You done good, Bud!
Thank you sir!
Fantastic video!
Thank you! God bless!
Thank you for sharing your experience and bringing the adventure and nature to my living room. I have never been or seen any of the eastern United States.
The terrain and natural environment is amazing. I would like to come do some some hunting in the Appalachian blue ridge mountains someday.
By the way, I love the style of the music, too. It is as pure as it gets.
Thank you so much! It is truly an incredible place - would absolutely recommend taking a visit and giving it a try. The music was a massive piece of nailing the culture surrounding Appalachia. Awesome area. Thank you and God bless!
Love this. I grew up hunting this and still do. I know how hard the hunting is. Yall got lucky even killing a deer
@@appalachianoutdoors4709 It was certainly a blessing - no doubt about it!
New Filmers luck, I call it! Hahah I killed a nice buck my 3rd day ever with a camera in the stand! Congratulations fellas, what an epic journey!!
Haha it's so true! Honestly blew our minds. God had His hand over that trip, and sounds the same for you. Keep getting after it!! God bless!
Great video! You perfectly captured what it’s like to hunt VA mountains. I don’t live far from where you hunted and done similar trips. It ain’t easy by no means. Hope there will be a 2023 video 😂
Went back this past fall and unfortunately got rained out big time! Could’ve made a film about it but decided against it as it would’ve been a bit underwhelming. A couple of films coming this spring then back at it in ‘24! God bless and thanks for watching!
This is legit dude! I live over in the snowbird mtns in NC. If you ever are west of Ashville, hit me up and we can get on some whitetail out here!
Thanks so much man! Might have to take you up on that - beautiful area for sure!
Good work fellas
just a GREAT VIDEO. Love it. Watching from Oz. Lets face it hunting is mostly about getting out there and bonding with mates
Appreciate it!! Amen - don’t know if it’d be the same out there alone. Love it!
Exellent film! Growing up in same area and learning to hunt and fish there has been the greatest proivilage of my life. Congrats on the adventure and deer. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures. This part of Virginia is breaming with opportunies. Good Luck!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear it has impacted you as well. God bless!!
Just came across this. I Love it. What a Beautifully made video, and look forward to more. God Bless
Thank you so much! Working on the next ones currently.
Awesome video Bro , i live in the foothills of the Blue ridge mountains and started shooting a Bow around 8 years old ive loved Archery my whole life, im 53 now and still love it just hurts a little more doing now.. lol oh the joys of getting older lol 😂on the other hand it beats the alternative lol😂... anyway i just wanted to congratulate yall on your harvest nothing like your first Bow kill and to congratulate you on a excellent video...
Thank you so much for your kind words! Definitely grateful to get out there and do it! Will happen to us all Lord willing so no shame haha!
Great video man keep up the hard work i also hunt the mountains grew up on the foot hills of them in north georgia very thick very steep congratulations on the doe you'll get that black bear next go around
Hey im new to hunting, am i allowed to go on the Appalachian trail and hunt for my food as well in georgia? Im confused between wma and the hiking trail, is there an area where you can do both?
@@Danbae69 So I can only speak to Virginia, but the way it works here is both National Forest lands and Wildlife Management Areas are considered public land and are completely legal to be hunted so long as you have purchased your annual hunting license and are hunting in season fro the animal you are targeting. Each state has its own set of hunting laws, then break it down from there by county. The seasons vary from county to county by each animal - so I would encourage you to find out what county you are interested in hunting in (first by finding the area) then looking into its hunting regulations for deer, bear, or turkey individually. All of that information is available online by searching it up for your state. The hiking trails vary from trail to trail but if it is the Appalachian Trail, you cannot hunt within 150 yards of it. The WMA we hunted here had no such trail so we were all good. Read up on the area you are hunting and find someone online who can give advice on that area because it varies. I would encourage you to go out with others first as well for safety's sake until you know the area very well. God bless and thanks for watching!
Thank you sir! God bless and hopefully we'll get one soon!
You need to give turkey hunting a go to. Deer bear and Turkey are all great hunts. Lots of people use a bow for Turkey and some a shotgun. Start practicing your calling now. It takes a while to get good but lots of fun.
So I've heard. Appreciate the insight! Might have to get into here soon and see what I can do.
I am sub 49 & 50. Liked it so much I subd 2x. Great filming. I have been roducing content for a year and know the struggle in Sw VA. Ya'll killed it. I killed my first bear backpack style this year too. Video is on my channel. I'll be following! keep up the good work
Thank you so much sir! Truly appreciate that. I'll give your videos a watch that sounds like a blast! SW VA is an incredible place but yes sir definitely presents some challenges. I'm sure I'll learn from your video!
@@jackson.c.miller can't wait for the next one
Absolutely great video my man!
Thank you so much! God bless!
Jackson the golden eye spotting the all black animal running on white snow. Good eye! 😅
Haha only got the camera on it when he was taking off but he spotted him nestled behind a tree a hundred and fifty yards out. We were certainly rookies though and it showed!
I love bear hunting with a bow and love bear roasts
Cool video man. I'm from NC and been wanting to do a similar trip for bear in those mountains. I've done backpack hunting out west for bear for past 4 years. Bout time I hunt my home state! Great writing/narration as well.
Appreciate it big time!! Gotta get out there and try it out here - it’s a good time if you pick the right area. Gonna go out west soon as well - open to any pointers!
Incredible film man , just hunted a wma in the Appalachian mountains and realized the beauty that comes with it and even if you never kill anything. Keep up the good videos man , who knows maybe someday we should get together and find a spot to hunt .
Would love to get up with you, and appreciate you watching! God bless brother@@chasebuchanan2347
what is that song at the beginning, I need to meditate to that!
The name is 'The White Birch' by Moorland Songs, it's a good one for sure!
Great video and representation as sportsmen. I killed my first bear with my bow in the north Ga Appalachian mountains after trying for 3 years each fall. It's not an easy task and when it comes together for you it will be worth all the miles hiked. I enjoy solo hunting for the reasons you mentioned about connecting with nature, God and learning more about yourself while honing your instincts. Keep up the inspiring work! great videography and story telling in this video. I'm excited to see what else you come up with. I started my channel this June and gone down the rabbit hole on the content creation and having a blast capturing outdoor adventures. Check out the page if you get a minute!
Thank you so much for the kind words sir! There are more trips coming down the pike for sure. Excited to see how you grow with your videos too - really rewarding to watch yourself improve on telling the story for sure. God bless!
i wish theyd give us a week of bear season with no dogs
