I am not against hunt, on the contrary i think that in certain places it's essential to maintain balance. For example where i live we have way to many deers and without predators they start to literally destroy the woods by scratching against trees and end up "killing" them. However I don't really see the point nor the necessity in hunting big carnivores to be honest

@@AlanRedrew Every species has a population goal set forth by that state's DNR based on their scientific studies. I'm all for supporting legal hunting and the fees it generates to continue to study, maintain, and enforce sustainable population goals for each state. To your point about overpopulation, too many predators can do a number on deer population, and push the herd to nocturnal thus hunters can no longer hunt deer. Also if you don't hunt predators they lose their natural fear of humans and folks that live way out in the country can become snacks, them and their livestock. Therefore i am all for legal / fair chase hunting.

I couldn’t agree more. One thing, probably THEE thing that turns me off to most hunting shows is the scripted drama and over dramatization to drag a show out to its full time slot. Anyone that really hunts knows a lot of hunting can be mundane. Do as these guys do, touch on it, filter it , and show the hunt and results. It’s refreshing, like telling the story over the fire. Not a bunch of Kardashian-esk drama made up to try and make things bigger than life. This is a quality show.

I'm so happy you guys are posting old episodes.. this is by far my favorite KZread channel. Can't wait for more Das Boat this weekend!!

I love that they are releasing these early episodes. I never found this show or podcast until they came to Netflix but I always wanted to watch the seasons that came before Netflix!

Only seen you when Rogan has you on his podcast and now I’m glad I took the time to watch your channel. I’m no hunter whatsoever but by feeling like I know you already, made me a fan. Feels like we picked up where you left off on the podcasts. Support you all the way brother! Even sit though the whole Ads just to support you even more! Hopefully one day I’ll find someone to take me and show me the ropes with hunting! -A dude from Miami

Cannot comprehend anyone giving a negative thumbs down for Steves video. Hunting on this level requires a high level of Fitness and a deep understanding of Gear and how to use it if the elements turn against you!! My hunting goes back to Wisconsin small game in 1970. Was very good hunting squirrel and Ruffed Grouse with my Marlin Glenfield 60!! Since then my experience has been in Mountains. Too many fish to fry to get back to hunting although with my olde mountain buddy have talked about the Blue Grouse here in Colorado. We know where they are and the .22 is the ticket NOT Shotguns!!

So glad you're adding the old seasons.

And here I am in Alaska watching this while eating candy and drinking scotch. So much winning.

I always wanted to hunt Alaska. As a young man I didn’t have the time or money to go. Now, I have plenty of time and the money, but I’m too old to be able to withstand the rigors of the back country. Bad knees and back from years of working my way up the ladder kind of negates the whole reason one works so hard. I don’t regret working hard and raising a family, I just find it ironic that when you finally are in a position to do all the things you wanted, time has claimed the body. I still hunt and fish a lot here at home, but the chance to do these spectacular hunts has come and gone. It’s still nice to be able to go vicariously , through shows like this. Anyone wanting to do this should set aside a slice of time and work toward it while in their prime, don’t wait too long and expect to be in the demanding physical shape it takes when you retire. Staying active in the outdoors is one thing, this is next level.

Really appreciate how he shows that he had to go back several over several days , not something that's shown too often other than if an animal isn't found after the shot

I’ve watched the clips of these episodes, it’s awesome to see the full episode, I really like the older delivery of these episode so much content, the teaching and talking through the hunt, and just the raw adventure. I really hope we get all these earlier season.

Instead of getting 20 minutes of a 2-3 day hunt, an hour allows for much better communication of what actually happened, the mood throughout the hunt, better sense of the timing of different milestones on the hunts, etc.
