I didn’t expect Sitka to make me cry today but here I am. Thank you to Rachel and Brian (and Sitka) for sharing their memories with us. Some of the best ones are made while hunting.

I loved the fact that the basis of this video was their relationship NOT the quality of the ram. Looks like their love for each other is now stronger than ever

​@@SITKAGear you don't charge a fresh round into a rifle and then have a crying fit. You Canadians and your feminism are toast. It's fine if they have a relationship and drama in a hunting video. But the last thing you do is have a crying fit after you put a loaded round into the chamber......and the cameraman is nearly in front of that gun. It was a 5h17 show. This shows me that I will never pay for a female guide. Frankly,......I have never met even one intelligent Canadian in my life.... Maybe you're all just alcoholics.....

This is real archival storytelling. Foregoing the "kill shot" was not only genius but essential to the soul of this hunt, father-daughter reconnection, and film.

Enjoy the time with your Dad while he's still here. I sure do miss mine.

I hunted with Rachel at Gana River Outfitters and can vouch for the fact that she is a first class guide and a first class person. Excellent at hunting, excellent with horses and people.

Best Father Daughter hunting video I have ever watched! It pulled my heart strings being a father with an amazing daughter. Thank you Rachel and Brian for taking me on this journey with you! Well done Sitka!

That rifle report for me as a viewer and the edited silence that followed, really just made me think about this young lady and her father and how that crack heralded a shared experience that meant so much to them both, and im sure began a new chapter to be shared by them both, to the pair of them, my absolute best, and to Rachel, many more safe seasons on the hill. To Sitka, thanks for focusing so much on this film work, proud owner of a few pieces of your equipment, but to me, you are a media company doing great work putting out positive messages to the general viewers about what it is we love, live and breathe, thats the real ground work here, and what that does for conservation is boundless, really appreciated the carving of the meat, and the horn, but no trophy pictures, this really takes the glorification of the death away, and reconnects people to the true joy of the result of the kill, the memories and the meat. Good health to all, and happy hunting! Elliot

@@SITKAGear thank you. Yes I’m glad he taught me to hunt, and have many memories on trips with him. In fact, my father is the person that got me using Sitka gear. My first set of Sitka was bought for me by my father, the original elevated 1 green camo, and my first set of Sitka I bought was the mountain mimicry, long time Sitka customer from the early Sitka days. My friends say I’m a Sitka fanboy cuss all my gear is Sitka, but truth is I like Sitka because it was what my father used and liked and when I hunt now, wearing Sitka is kind of a family hunting tradition. Makes me feel like I’m still practicing the things my father taught me, wearing Sitka is ingrained in me and it’s as much of the hunt as the skills I grew up learning from My father.

Thank you for the comment and for your appreciation of spotlighting an important topic: the restoration of strained relationships. We wish you and your daughter all the best.

This is harshness of life.. choices are made, paths aren't clear, and navigating uncertain waters always seem sure to be found on the journey. Being a father of one girl and two boys has changed my life for the best but I know I still make decisions that effect them. My wife and I are trying our hardest to lead and raise them. The more I see in life I grasp the time of how I spend it with or without them. It's powerful the bond that can be brought to life over a hunt. I try my hardest to raise my kidos today with that burning in my head and heart. Great video sitka n team. Thank you for sharing.

I took this September off from guiding to take my dad on his archery bull hunt. Realistically it will most likely be his last one as he just turned 70 and not sure he will be lucky enough to draw another tag while he can still get around. This one took him 10 years to draw. This video really shows the bond on the mountain. Glad you got to share this with your dad!
