2 Alaskan Dall Sheep! | Full Episode (Season 7) 

Randy: Thank you for this video. I'm soon to be 77 years old. I lived in Anchorage for five years and had the good fortune to sheep hunt for of those years. While, I didn't walk in to any of my areas, once dropped off, me and my buddy were on our own for 7 days. I saw sheep on every trip and was fortunate to shoot two and help my buddy get his first sheep. My last sheep was on a trip with my wife. It was hard, my wife was tough . We saw too many sheep but the weather and a grizzly bear caused us trouble. While my last sheep was taken solo on the last day of the hunt, it was the most rewarding for me. I was able to pack the animal out to a creek that was about 3 times bigger than the one you filmed. It was way to dark so I ditched the sheep and pushed hard for 2 miles into base camp.Needless to say Karen was first pissed and worried because I was so late but when I told her of my sheep be was delighted. At O dark :30 I was up a gunning for my sheep. I must have covered that four mile round trip in less than 3 hours. Every step back to camp I worried thinking I could hear that Beaver throttling back for a landing at our base camp. Fortunately I made it. Ironically, we had to wait four more days for the weather to clear before we were picked up. We never worried because I had started to plan our hike out to the highway. It would have been about 20 miles but doable in three to four days. because we would have dropped in low country within a mile from our base camp. All's well that ends well. It was great trip never to be forgotten. Every once in a while when things get tough my wife tells me about that trip and how we were so tight back then. AK is beautiful, sheep are beautiful and the privilege to be there is indescribable. Ironically my sheep hunting mentor has moved to WY. We lost track of each other because we each experienced house fires but after almost 33 years we will finally have another hunting trip. Bruce lives in Buffalo WY , we both have antelope tags. Wish us good luck. It will be a self guided trip. Thank you for sharing and keep chasing your dreams. Someday you'll won't be as strong or fit for a hunt but the memories will always be there.

Always wanted to hunt dall sheep since I was a boy. I’m 69 now and I know that dream will never happen. Thanks Randy for sharing an awesome hunt.

This was a hunt I'll never be able to do. Thank you for taking me with you.

Every time I watch Randy, I realize what a POS I am. The man is always so thankful & grateful... Need more people like him in my life. Pretty inspirational dude.

Marcus, your humility is more impressive than those mountains. Amazing episode as usual fellas.

Life, especially for us older guys with several miles on our chassis, isn’t always kind. We’ve watched you struggle with your limitations and you always manage to reach deep and somehow find the strength to carry on. I just hope you realize how much of an inspiration you are to us “high mileage” guys! You are truly blessed to have a great friend and wonderful employee like Marcus! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us and it’s the best hunting adventure video I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch!!!

I have no words. That was incredible !! Hats off to all of you.

Heck yeah!!! So cool to finally see how things went down on your side of the mountain. Glad to have shared time in camp with you all!

I like Randy because he is respectful to everyone and to the animals. He feels bad when it takes more shots than needed. He has his sponsorships but he definitely uses the gear and doesn't shove it in your face. He puts in the work and wants the other guy to succeed as much as himself.

Marcus earned this more than anyone. He is a sheep hunter. To face defeat and keep going with everything stacked against you is what it is all about. Its never about filling the tag on the first day. I would hunt with him any day.

Unbelievable, thank you for the ride along, dream come true!! Awesome work gents!! 👊

I've enjoyed a lot of Fresh Tracks videos but this is hands down the best one of what I have seen. Great job guys.

Probably my most favorite video of yours, pure determination and heart! Congratulations to Marcus and Randy, great hunt. Your guide as well just amazing perseverance! Well done!

This is it, if your looking for the best episode .

My humble respects for Marcus, Randy and the Guides!!

What a fantastic episode!! Randy, you sir are the sole inspiration and reason why, at 43, I started hunting big game in my home state of Colorado! I cannot thank you enough!

I really love the honesty you have with this one on your recovery. You da' man Randy. Thank you for sharing, and congrats on your Ram!!!

Loved it! What separates you guys from the rest.... Randy gets a sheep and wants Marcus to get a sheep just as much! Great job and loved seeing both of you fill those tags...awesome! What an adventure! Great video and what a memorable experience too! Joe

AWESOME STUFF boys! That country was INSANE! Congrats to both of you on two hard earned rams.

That really was a hard hunt it looked like from here. So glad it turned out well for you guys. Another great hunt , two excellent Doll Sheep rams . Beautiful country !

I live in NW Montana and may begetting to the end of my elk hunting career after two knee surgeries. Thanks to your inspiration, I’m reconsidering at age 75. All the best Randy, and I hope your health improves greatly.

Every time I see Randy navigating really rough terrain I think, "wow, Marcus already did that!" That's why Randy doesn't bite the dust more often😉 So proud of Marcus for passing a questionable shot. Truly an ethical hunter.

I'm still Archery hunting at 82 and getting the travel trailer loaded this week. Our season starts the 24th here in Oregon and I will be leaving on the 19th for hunting camp.Take care and many hunts to come my friend.

this is the only one chanel on youtube where i can honestly push the like even before i start to watch the actual footage!!!

I admire your effort. At one time, I could have done that, but I don't think I could anymore. I harvested a beautiful Dall sheep in 2004, and it was an answer to my 40 year dream also. It was a horseback hunt, thank goodness!

Having lived in the Great North that is Alaska for 15 years and hunted for 10 of those years, this was the most inspiring hunt video I've seen. What the will of men can do in the quest for realizing a dream. I had my own plane for most of the time I was there and had one Dall Sheep hunt in all that time so I can say that this one was the toughest and most rewarding hunt I've ever seen. My only sheep hunt was nothing like this one. We, my buddy with another plane and i and another buddy flew in above the Brooks range off the Noatak river (north of Kotzebue), and because we could see what animals were on the tops of the mountains below us, we landed, camped, and the next day hiked the back side of a steep mountain with sheep at the top, and all three of us killed legal rams after peeking over the peak. I was the last to shoot so of course my sheep was running away and I had to shoot him on the run. Our hunt doesn't even do justice to what effort you, Randy and Marcus, had to endure to get your sheep. As residents of Alaska, the regs were with us and with planes to get us in, hunting is much easier. Your hunt was an inspiration. Well done, both of you and your helpers.

"Don't wait " Jason Hairston. You give me inspiration Randy. Thanks for the beautiful content.

Way to go you guys. Way to go Marcus for not giving up and keep on pushing it to the end. Randy way to go but you should of taken your self out earlier because we need you to keep doing this great video's so take it easier on your self. But great job to you and Marcus and Brandon for his 1st hunt as a guide

I’ve watched this numerous times, it’s helped me. Covid killed things last year but not this year, my first elk hunt, cow, is near. Thank you guys.

Montana boys havin fun!! .. Marcus..dude...you are a stud!! And Randy..I really appreciate how humble you are and how you always pay respect to the animal. You guys are absolute professionals and truly shed a positive light on our sport. Thank you. 😉👍

I'm so happy for you and thank you very much for sharing all those videos thank you

Been awhile since I watched this the first time but do remember watching Tim’s Solo hunting video first and saw that meeting up with Randy

My favorite hunter too watch besides ol remmi .. great job Randy

I really enjoyed this episode. Thanks, guys. I had a crappy day and this made it better.

Randy..You're a man among men! Way to hunt your heart and Liver out!

The pure production value of this man's hunting videos are impressive

Marcus is an animal! Congratulations to both of you. Perseverance overcomes adversity.

absolutely inspirational! A true legend Randy

Marcus is one stand up guy!

I think this could qualify you guys for an award as it was done beautifully. Mahalo and Aloha from the Big Isle "🤙"

Marcus ive watched most of you guy's shows and RU-vid videos. You earned it. Congrats to both you and Randy. Way to be tough and pushing.

Randy, thank you for being such a gracious and thoughtful representative of our culture. You truly deserve all the lagniappe that this world has to offer.

That was the most excitement I think I have ever felt for Not only Randy, looking at the pure determination from feeling bad, but to get the kill. Then the total determination to keep on for Marcus. Then to top the hunt off Marcus and crew just don't give up and there it is. Great looking sheep for the both of you. I want forget what I just watched. Awesome

Iv never rooted for someone on a hunting show as hard as I was rooting for Marcus. All the work paid off. Congratulations!

Well im a old guy now with chronic R A but i still make myself get going and work everyday. Congratulations to both of you that was great and a special adventure.

Nice hunt randy. As you get older you do know it is OK to let others carry the load. Glad you accomplished your dream.

Your open honest commentary is brilliant, no one gets the perfect shot every time and anyone with a heart feels the same conflict when they didn’t get the perfect finish, thanks for sharing the whole story!

Unreal. Not that I could ever do that severe of terrain but that is surely something I can appreciate. Congratulations guys. Beautiful sheep

Feeling blessed as I watch this. As I just returned from a archery elk hunt myself at 64yrs. I just learned my limitations on this trip. But watching my boys carry on this tradition and knowing there love and respect for hunting makes it all good. God bless!

What a bunch of hard workers. Very impressed

Thanks for sharing this with us Randy and Marcus - a good reminder to go and do those dreams we all have!

Nice film (understatement!) it wasn't perfect, but hunting isn't is it? I respect the fact it wasn't heavily edited, you all worked incredibly hard for the final results, no doubt you Randy, at the age Marcus is, would have been charging up those mountains in the past. Marcus 'The Machine' Hockett!

Perseverance paid off.

Wow!! what a hunt. You guys must be in great shape. Hard work does indeed pay dividends. Those sheep are beautiful and incredible they survive in those mountains

Wow, this is the first time this guy has seemed limited by the human condition. I salute you for your perseverance and courage. I am very impressed by your achievement with a liver condition. Fantastic achievement that is now beyond my age and ability due to a spinal injury. Sheep ribs over a campfire was Fred Bear’s favorite meal. Best wishes.

Thank you so much for your stories Randy.At my age I'm nearing the end of my hunting journeys but your stories bring me back .Thanks.........Bill

You guys worked your butts off , great job

I watch both yours and Tim's videos on this hunt and I have to say I love it. You don't see anyone but hunters thank an animal and truly admire an animal. I never even thought about wanting to go out into the wilderness and hunt until I started watching videos like this on it. So Thank you and all the other hunters like Solo Hunters and countless others who work so hard to bring footage like this to the masses.

Way to go Marcus not to mention Randy ! Great hunt , fellers!

Even if the Hunt was not successful, take a look around. You are walking close to God. You can see, hear, feel. What beautiful Country.

Such an amazing hunt! Hard work pays off! Way to go!

Randy, at age 28 I am going to pursue an elk next season for the time in my life I cannot explain the excitement your videos bring to me. Got my Leupold bx2 alpine binos and tdr rangefinder because of you also. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Awesome to see both y'all got one!!

Incredible film! You guys were busting your tails every single day to max limits. And the results show for the effort. Also amazing job showing the whole picture of what hunt entailed!!!

This is how I imagine hunting should be. Amazing land....amazing PUBLIC land....amazing animals and just fantastic experiences. I am very very envious of you Randy. Thank you for sharing

What an unbelievable hunt. Randy, I'm so happy for you, Marcus, Branson and Eric. It was so special for so many reasons. The grit and determination that is on display here gives me motivation. Congratulations and thank you so much for doing what you do.

An amazing hunt and story. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

Randy, you are a fantastic individual! I’m happy that you were able to harvest your ram and then they were able to harvest his ram, an extremely beautiful and successful hunt!

Good one nice ram

What a challenge that you overcame ..... congratulations

A great hunt story , told in a moving and aesthetic way! Thanks a lot, guys !!!

Very great video, one of the very best I've seen you do, and an awesome Ram you harvested, hopefully your health lets you do the rest of your dream hunts, Marcus's push and drive was amazing along with the guide you had, which helped Marcus also harvest a great Ram. Thank you for sharing such a great video.

Marcus shot his ram on my birthday! Congrats guys

Just repeating what's already been said.... Awesome video! I watched the day to day months ago, but this video is so perfectly put together! Thanks, a pleasure to watch!

Randy I always watch these with a huge smile.

My favourite video Randy and Marcus. Pure passion, great stuff!

This type of hunting has passed me by. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over never having tried. My dream hunt right now is a moose or elk with a bow. Fairly sure I can make it happen but a lot is going to have to go right. Randy, you and your crew give me the courage to try. Your hunts are inspiring and I try new things every year. Keep making videos. I watch as many as I can and I always watch them to the end.

Thanks for sharing randy, I envy your goals and your adventures. Way to make it happen after a 40 year wait! Awesome

Thanks Randy for this great inspirational film. In less than a month I’m headed to AK for a mountain goat. My dream. You are so right, go do it and just when I start to question what did I get myself into I see this. Life is short and you have to shoot for the stars. Hope you get to feeling better and love love your hard work. Thank you!

Man that was an awesome episode! I’m speechless and I wasn’t even there. Congratulations!
