I am a retired Game Warden and hunting is a way of check and balance animal populations. If you think hunting is cruel go out in the woods in a year that there is a drought in and look at all the animals that die from starvation or diseases. Mother nature is far more cruel in her way of keeping populations in check with the land.
Many years ago I was hunting Stone Sheep in northern BC in the Tuchodi Lakes area. I was three days away from base camp, working out of a spike camp. I went up and over a range to check out a high basin and saw what I took to be the world's largest bull moose. From about a kilometre away, it looked like it had a couple of 4 by 8 sheets of plywood for antlers. It was easily as big as this moose in the video. However, being on a hunt with one buddy, no horses or any other help, I just admired the magnificent animal and kept on looking for a legal ram. I figured it would have taken us four or five trips to pack it out, each round trip taking at least four days. After that, I always prearranged with an outfitter or packer to provide pack animals if needed. Live and learn.
Welcome to America! Great video ! I lived in Alaska from 89 to 96 and this brings me back to my twenties yes. Makes me want to go back up there and hunt another moose and some dall sheep. I've watched several of your other hunting videos you guys are great hunters great Marksman. You give Hunters a great name. You're welcome to come here anytime. Thank you
I know right Alaska has more animals to hunt from Musk-ox, bison, Dall sheep, Kodiak brown bear, black bear, sitka blacktail deer, and mountain goats. And believe it or not Elk.
Another great video from sikahunting, Brian has mentioned on many occasions, within his many videos that all the meat is utilised in one way or another. Nothing goes to waste, Keep up your professional ways.
Great job boys. Very nice moose. I have hunted up here for about 30 years and have only seen one nice moose like that, of course it was one day after the season closed. There is always next time. Congratulations again from an Alaskan hunter.
That ain't Rock Ptarmigans. That's White-Tailed Ptarmigans. it's three species or subspecies we can say of ptarmigan, Willow Ptarmigan, Rock ptarmigan, and the White-tailed. The Willow and Rock only lives in the northern areas of Europe, while White-tailed live in America ;-)
I have hunted moose for decades in Alaska, and that was a very nice moose indeed. I have taken several moose, but none that large. It was also not an old moose, despite the ignorant comments made below. The antlers on moose reach their full size when the moose is between 5 and 12 years old. At age 13 their antlers begin to decline. Moose can live to be anywhere from 15 to 25 years old. The overwhelming majority of moose that are hunted are under the age 12 years old, and this moose was no exception. Because it died instantly with one shot (good shot placement), and did not have the opportunity to get its adrenaline flowing, I'm sure it was very good eating. Furthermore, Alaska hunting regulations require that all the meat on the animal be salvaged, whether trophy hunting or not.
I hate stupid comments from people who would starve to death if their meat didn't come cellophane-wrapped from a grocery store. Clueless idiots need to be exposed for what they are. Oh yea, and I noticed that you followed the first rule about moose hunting: Never shoot a moose standing in water! ;-)
Got that right never shoot a moose even close to water is my thoughts Supermarket meat buyers have no need to be commenting on my videos although it does show how ignorant and stupid some of the are.
very true, I remember reading a post, where someone said about all hunting should be ban, & if they want meat they should buy it at market where no animals had to die lol, GOD some people if they had a brain
As much as I could see you had to carry a lot of gear quite a distance but I could not see you carry the meat out. Do you leave it for the bears and the birds? Anyway, good shooting.
Awesome videos ! It's currently 6am and I've been watching your videos half the night ....incredible. Amazing animals and from what I've seen some damned good hunters..it's a shame you have to be put on trial from the vocal minority who are either bitching without knowing the whole hunt or the folks who have no idea the work and skill these hunts entail ...and if they really opened their eyes they could see the love we have for not just the trophies but the meat and the entire experience ....thank you for putting these videos together .
some of these comments make no sense. I'm an Alaskan resident and avid hunter the guide and the hunters in this video made ethical shots and have done everything by the regulations. Way do people even watch videos of this nature if they don't like them!?
Any sort of hunting requires finesse; I don't understand the hate for all trophy hunting (while I do think you should use the meat regardless of whether it's required by law); you have to put in the work to get the quarry. My issue is the self-congratulatory attitude. It wasn't a battle, a battle is fought between equal forces; this is firing a supersonic projectile at a prey animal from a distance that renders you nearly invisible using a scope to augment your naturally poor human eyesight. It wasn't "hard won." To say so almost implies that there was a possibility of losing. The only other possibility was missing the shot. It was well thought out, planned, and executed, absolutely, but you killed a sheep using numerous tools which put you at a whole different level than what you're hunting. It almost feels disrespectful to then talk as if it wasn't shot unawares while sitting on a rock
Good job on the hunts! If I might, I'd like to make a suggestion though (and I've had clients do this, so I know it's not always in your control, so here goes.) Firearms safety, gents! I saw a wayward rifle barrel in there that made me cringe a bit. Bad things come out the end of those shooters; your hunters need to be a little more dialed in on the safety aspects of this!
Keith, more like 1500 lbs give or take, maybe even 1600. This is a huge moose. They even go up to 1700 lbs. Some in the lower 48 are more in line with the weight you suggest.
Wish you people that have the time to comment negatively would stop being in such a hurry to comment without watching the whole video which obviously you have NOT because you see us carrying out all the meat You don't know us We are law abiding hunters but also ethical we would never consider killing a moose without taking the meat
If you are going to comment on my clips you should watch the whole thing not just part of the clip If you did you would see all the meat was taken Nothing was wasted
sikahunting never commented on ANYTHING being wasted was just busting balls on the light looking packs in relation to the statement of " this is where the real work begins" obviously meat was packed out but wasn't by those guys with just the skills loaded up.. Maybe I should have been more clear in the busting balls and joking around didn't think anyone would have been so seriously butt hurt.. And in response to that other comment about it being illegal this and that with only taking heads etc that happens all the time in northern Canada from tourist hunters wanting only the trophy not to say the meat is wasted it usually is donated locally from the experiences I have encountered
This a nice bull for sure... Here is a little kicker....a nummber of those tanes on the horn (tops and some lower) WOULD NOT be classified as a legal tang here in BC... GO FIGGER...? By the regulations, a tang can NOT be wider than 1 inch ...measuring from the tip/point down... Weird..? So, get out the ol tape measure BEFORE you shoot.... Years ago, it was EASY ... If the moose had horn, it was legal. Now, you have to count and measure the horn befor you decide to harvest it...
It's a shame how modern education fails to teach about the balance of nature and the food chain and how the food chain is important in maintaining the balance of nature. Also the fact that man is now, and always has been part of the balance of nature and the food chain. They taught it when I grew up, but apparently not any more. Now days, we have developed farms and ranches that are still part of nature, just a more controlled manner of the animals being born, living and dying as nature intended, to feed the other species, their place in the balance and chain. But with the farming and ranching practices, the growing of food is done much more efficiently so that the balance remains but more food is available to feed the existing chain, thereby cutting down on starvation, one of nature's other tools in maintaining the balance. For the species that remain wild and were not tamed, conservation efforts were developed to maintain their balance, so that their species and numbers can remain in healthy numbers. Legalized, controlled hunting is the main tool used to maintain numbers so that overpopulation does not occur resulting in starvation and disease. So basically, is just another form of "ranching" practices that take care of and maintain wild species. It is not something cruel and unnatural, just a more controlled, modern variation of nature happening, like it always has since time began. Also the legalized and controlled hunting, provides the financing needed to carry out the care and maintenance of these species, and is also a big contributor to the economy, providing jobs and food for the masses. Unfortunately due to the more specialized nature of farming and ranching, fewer and fewer people are directly involved in the production and consumption of food, or more correctly, their individual involvement in the balance and chain is less apparent to them, so that they begin to think that there is no such thing and they do not belong to it. Consequently we end up with a bunch of citified people, not aware of what is actually happening in life, and their own involvement in it. Instead we have a bunch of naive, but hopefully well intentioned people that use uninformed emotion to dictate their lives, which does nothing for the good of all species, and generates friction among people. We are our own worst enemy, neglecting necessary education as modern man seems determined to do, for whatever reason. Another sad part is our poorly educated, endoctrined, citified masses will fail to understand what I have just said. Lord help us.
They said 12 rams and yes, rams are males (females are called ewes). The sexes tend to be segregated most of the year and are generally only found together during mating season (the "rut"), which I believe is in November.
U r one of the best guides ever love to see u field butcher a bull moose from start to finish

Awesome footage and top trophies, well done all, a 5* video, you need all of you to do the full mount skinning.best regards, Tony.
“He dropped like a sack of shit mate” lmao

What an absolute TOAD of a moose... Congrats, 6 years later. 😉
Beautiful scenery. Nice animals and good hunters
Those *rock ptarmigans* were incredible! 6:30
Thank god for a good sharp knife! Great work fellas! By the way, that is the first time I've seen a mule with horns before! LOL 15:50
I love your videos
Like you said what a moose awesome! They don't get much better than that.
BEAUTIFUL animals GREAT SHOOTING.. outstanding hunt!
I see 2 bulls when you made the shot... Did you get the bigger one
Another great video from sikahunting, Brian has mentioned on many occasions, within his many videos that all the meat is utilised in one way or another. Nothing goes to waste, Keep up your professional ways.
Trevor & Donna Pate i’m curiouos to know what are some of the ways the meat is used. Is it edible by humans? Thanks in advance.
What kind of ammo and rifle are they using
Great hunt! Great shots! Thanks for sharing.
Who packed the sheep meat out? didn't see a pack with any meat.
Great footage Brian, super bull and nice sheep.
Nearly 300 yards and made it seem effortless. Love it!
A good clean shot.. One shot kill.
They give the distance in the video. It's 150 yards, not 300.

Nice shooting sir that is one big bull. Moose hunting is on my bucket list.
Awesome Moose!!!

Did you bring the sheepmeat?
Great shot Blood Brothers!!
As much as I could see you had to carry a lot of gear quite a distance but I could not see you carry the meat out. Do you leave it for the bears and the birds? Anyway, good shooting.

Did you use the meat or did you leave it.
Salmon Hunter in Alaska you pretty much have to get every usable piece of meat off of the animal.
Those rams are AWESOME.

Alaska regulations state meat, all meat down down to the bone, must be removed before hide/horns/antlers. Where was the sheep meat? No one had it.
love it, great hunt boys, with great shot
Такой трофей для музея,поздравляю!
Absolutely beautiful moose. Congratulations.-Paul
Was the moose in front bigger or smaller than the one behind it?
The moose in the back was a very young bull not even half as big as the one we took
Nice shorts 👍👍👌👌👊👊🤝🤝💪💪✌️✌️❤️❤️
But why did you kill it?
Very good video and org. for hunting! I like to come and hunt with Brian..! Thx for sharing! :-)
Greetings from Potterek81@Hunting.
wow, how much did that thing weigh?
Great guides. Keep hunting!

What do they do with the guts
Very cool hunt! I love it!
У вас просто , как в тире)) У нас нужно подойти к зверю на 25- 30 метров ( скрадываться).

1800lbs? Lots of work here.
Ah, the age old struggle between the hunters and the scavengers...
Dropped the Giant Bull ! Wow 😮!
what do you do with the meat
They sacrifice it to the Egyptian deity Imhotep.
They eat it, doofus.

Wish i had one like that.
where was this
Alaska
Nice
Caliber size please
What distance were those ram shots taken from? Nice shooting.
290 yards
Always looks further, on film
Was a fun hunt with great company
sikahunting 290 YARDS.
Yeah. That's why I asked. Thanks. (Still, all my whitetail have come at less than 100 yards, so, still a long shot for me!)
A dall sheep is small at 290 yards
Good job on the hunts! If I might, I'd like to make a suggestion though (and I've had clients do this, so I know it's not always in your control, so here goes.) Firearms safety, gents!

Good job

Great guys, I wish I were part of the group.
Great shots!
I sure would like to see that moose mount he had done
Beautiful trophy set of antlers and what a huge body on that animal, what is the estimated weight of that moose.
700 odd kilos
Hard to know never had a moose close to any scales
1000 LBS+
Keith, more like 1500 lbs give or take, maybe even 1600. This is a huge moose. They even go up to 1700 lbs. Some in the lower 48 are more in line with the weight you suggest.

the guide don't sound Alaskan! that's an incredible moose. imagine the meat, wow.
New Zealand guide. They get around.
what weapon are you using for that moose
nice moose
Who was the guide/outfitter??
Brian Elwarth
@@sikahunting thank you ill take a look
They are smuggler of flesh of these innocent animals
Hoping you can shed some light on the gear you used here? I want to know about the gun and the cartridge and the optics and the GEAR baby!
Wow
Hunters in Alaska , by law, must carry out the meat. But these guys didn't sound too interested in MEAT!
Wish you people that have the time to comment negatively would stop being in such a hurry to comment without watching the whole video which obviously you have NOT because you see us carrying out all the meat
You don't know us
We are law abiding hunters but also ethical we would never consider killing a moose without taking the meat
Sooo..." the hard part " did that include rucking back with all the meat? those packs seemed light lol only the skulls
If you are going to comment on my clips you should watch the whole thing not just part of the clip
If you did you would see all the meat was taken
Nothing was wasted
sikahunting never commented on ANYTHING being wasted was just busting balls on the light looking packs in relation to the statement of " this is where the real work begins" obviously meat was packed out but wasn't by those guys with just the skills loaded up..

Pro Angler as I said in my comment
what is this camera ???
Just a HD mini camcorder Nothing to great
Are they British or australian
This a nice bull for sure... Here is a little kicker....a nummber of those tanes on the horn (tops and some lower) WOULD NOT be classified as a legal tang here in BC... GO FIGGER...?

Not allow to kill this beautiful animal
the dall sheeps. were they almost just males
They said 12 rams and yes, rams are males (females are called ewes). The sexes tend to be segregated most of the year and are generally only found together during mating season (the "rut"), which I believe is in November.
You know what else collects trophies...from the dead??? Serial Killers!!!! The guys who are really on top of the food chain!

How can you take all of the animals meat ? Or you killed them for their wood?
Watch the whole video
You will see at the end how all the meat is recovered
