Kodiak Island. The name alone incites visions of giant brown bears, rugged terrain, nasty weather, incredible hunting, and high adventure. It is all that and a hell of a lot more. Kodiak can give a game and fish bounty that’s unrivaled - its cold indifference can also take everything from you in an instant. Watch Vortex’s Mark Boardman, Erik Barber, and Sawyer Briel meet up with Argali Outdoors’s Brad Brooks and Jason Kauffman, as they get a taste of everything the island offers - including big bucks on the ground.

It's amazing how one company RU-vid channel can be more entertaining then almost any other channel I watch.

@VortexNation 10 месяцев назад

Much appreciated...FlabbyBro 😅. Happy to keep the content coming! Definitely don't hesitate to reach out if you have feedback on what you want to see or see more of!

Thanks for sharing a fantastic hunt with us.

Quite the hunt! Mark you had us here at - Blackmer Optics a little worried, heart attacks can be common among hunters, even the most fit of hunters like you. Glad you snapped out of it brother, God bless.

@BrentforMLA 9 месяцев назад

I am glad Mark is okay as well.

@Wheelchair-bear 9 месяцев назад

Is Mark really Joe Rogan's twin?

@jaredconrad7075 9 месяцев назад

Kodiak resident here. My son thinks Willy's plane is the best in town and we spend hours at Trident basin watching him and others. He's also one of THE coolest cats around.

@vernekendall3643 9 месяцев назад

I could feel the moisture and smell the crisp air. I wanted to walk while I watched this. Very nice and free feeling. 👁❤🇺🇲

@cbvidieo 9 месяцев назад

The pleasure of watching Vortex Nation's content is all the reward I need, the best content on the internet; but some new Vortex gear would be a lot of icing on the cake!

@BrentforMLA 9 месяцев назад

I wouldn't turn down Vortex products either

@BrentforMLA 9 месяцев назад

They are an amazing team eh?

@Wheelchair-bear 9 месяцев назад

I agree, the best content in the world

@parkerlewis3514 10 месяцев назад

This is inspiring to me. This is what hunting is about. The adventure, friendship and creating life long memories. Excellent video. Can’t wait for the next! 👍

@mattydelong 9 месяцев назад

Solid film gents. Best line, “they stop filming out of respect for me because they think I might be dying”! Glad you were ok and it was just a momentary thing that can be laughed about in hindsight.

@RedBullBixby 9 месяцев назад

Being a pilot and a hunter I love seeing what bush planes are being used. Always love seeing 1940s aircraft being used the way they were intended.

@DaveL9170 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic episode!!!

@Irvinghun19 9 месяцев назад

Amazing hunt 👏🏽👏🏽 good job guys. I already suscribed, waiting for my price 🤞🏽🤞🏽😂

@roberttowles6134 9 месяцев назад

I have always wanted to travel to Alaska to see the vast wilderness and unbelievably beautiful scenery. But the thought of going there to hunt and spend time with best friends seems like the dream trip of a lifetime.

@mikemattson3299 9 месяцев назад

Nothing better than a hunt with brothers.

@AspenSavage 10 месяцев назад

Love the videos. It would be sweet to win

@stephenmallory8613 9 месяцев назад

Something so small yet it is a big challange to hunt. Very elusive deer to hunt. The terrain and weather just add to the diffuculty. This makes it a worthy trophy to hunt for!

@kenaidog6974 8 месяцев назад

I've been on Kodiak 24 years and the hunting is not what it used to be. Don't wait to get here.

@user-zr5lg5gc9x 9 месяцев назад

I loved the words to describe the way the deer slid down the mountain

@philfaulk1747 9 месяцев назад

I usually don't watch videos because these days there is so much revolving around sales and it's so intertwined. This was an exception. Loved every minute of this one. "I can't feel my hands...I think I'm dying" lol! "We agree to disagree" good stuff between friends:) I'm just an old dude enjoying hunting and the outdoor life on a budget and recently had an experience with Vortex support not sure how it was going to turn out. That support experience made me a lifer. Keep up the good work guys. It's appreciated.

@cdherb6488 9 месяцев назад

There is just no beating Vortex equipment. Great video. Thanks for keeping it real and not hiding motion sickness. Loved the video

@alaskafishin2429 9 месяцев назад

I live on kodiak! Cool to see people I’ve been watching for a while hunting the same way I do.

@user-mc5ii7xn3t 9 месяцев назад

" They think I might be dying". Thats it, that feeling when it all comes together. Congrats.

@tylercole8067 9 месяцев назад

What a hunt. It’s the rough ones you’ll tell the stories of for the years to come.

@user-re9sl3nh4b 9 месяцев назад

I agree with the "Once in a lifetime" vs "Life changing" comment. Can't wait to get back. It is an amazing place to go.

@arnesona011 9 месяцев назад

I can’t imagine how challenging and rewarding that experience would be.

@Garth21325 10 месяцев назад

Would absolutely love to get out on a hunt like this some day. Don't they say a bad day of hunting is better than a good day at work!

@paulstark5475 9 месяцев назад

That’s a dream hunt right there, I don’t care how often you hunt that’s just walking in a dream all day!

@crg268 9 месяцев назад

11:40 appreciate the honesty including the misses. Great recovery a little later!

Went through a tour of their facility in Barneveld last year and had a blast! Amazing people and an amazing story of why Vortex is at the top of the industry! Customer for life!

@timpeterson7674 9 месяцев назад

Somehow, maybe accidentally, the most entertaining youtube channel and podcast out there.

@luloadventure 9 месяцев назад

In 2019 I traveled through Alaska with my Motorbike until Deadhorse in the Arctic Ocean. Was a unique & great experience traveling through that beautiful with amazing landscapes and wild animals. But I cannot imagine how is to be hunting there. Thank you.

@darkexitus8579 9 месяцев назад

It’s these types of videos I can watch all day long to get myself hyped before the season kicks off 😂. Awesome video

@loranrichardson660 9 месяцев назад

Alaska is a bucket list hunt for me. Those black tails have always had my attention.

@aaronjarecki8582 9 месяцев назад

Wisco represent! Always love watching Alaska hunts -- it's a different type of person that can navigate that terrain and create a successful hunt.

@jessesilva4768 9 месяцев назад

Steven rinella was what got me to really fall in love with vortex optics and it’s been great, these videos hype me up make me wanna buy more gear and get out there in different parts of the US hunting new things all the time.

@TylerVanBrunt Месяц назад

Love the blacktail content. Hard hunting for a small reward. Solid work.

@lukemarble8776 9 месяцев назад

I appreciate the shots of camp. Its often overlooked in hunting videos.

@curtisharvey8234 9 месяцев назад

Stress to the test, you will have earned any black tail you guys nabbed! I wanna go and earn me some "Kodiak Black Tail Bonanza "!

@jeffreychristensen8552 9 месяцев назад

Looks like a great deal of hiking in sketchy terrain. I been to Alaska 4 times, but never Kodiak Island. Have friend that hunt there and had a life changing experience with a brown bear. I see all the Vortex products and because of my own experience with Vortex products it just makes hunting all the more fun and enjoyable. Glad everyone is safe one wrong step there its hours if not days for help to arrive.

@alaincharpentier7756 9 месяцев назад

An amazing journey into the wilderness! A lot of great hunting tips in addition! Thanks and congratulations!

@michaelweiler4457 9 месяцев назад

Man, the hiking, camping, stalking… I wish I was there. Looks like an amazing trip through nature. Well done guys!

@benkandiko9859 9 месяцев назад

@onesureshot223 9 месяцев назад

Fantastic video guys. Love how you show the downs and not just the ups of the hunt. Congrats on everyone being successful and glad everyone pulled through. The facial expression at 12:23 after the misses really shows the emotion of the moment. Strong work

@rmaki85 9 месяцев назад

What a great piece. Such an awesome production to show the reality of what hunting Alaska can truly bring.

@gregdahl981 9 месяцев назад

Great video! I lived there for four years and you guys did a good job capturing the challenges of getting to and hunting the alpine. People often underestimate the challenge of Sitka Blacktail hunting…it isn’t “just another deer hunt”. Keep up the good work!
