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!

@huntgar 10 месяцев назад

Agreed. Beating out the history channel as a side gig🤷🏻‍♂️🇺🇲

Great trip thanks for sharing with. Keep up the great work with the content 👍

Great content and awesome chance at a GAW. I’d love to get my hands on that new spotting scope!

@jamesanderson129 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing a fantastic hunt with us.

@cbvidieo 10 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 10 месяцев назад

I wouldn't turn down Vortex products either

@BrentforMLA 10 месяцев назад

They are an amazing team eh?

@Wheelchair-bear 10 месяцев назад

I agree, the best content in the world

@mattydelong 10 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.

@jaredconrad7075 10 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.

@Wheelchair-bear 10 месяцев назад

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 10 месяцев назад

I am glad Mark is okay as well.

@Wheelchair-bear 10 месяцев назад

Is Mark really Joe Rogan's twin?

@DaveL9170 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic episode!!!

@vernekendall3643 10 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. 👁❤🇺🇲

@user-mc5ii7xn3t 10 месяцев назад

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

@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! 👍

@Irvinghun19 10 месяцев назад

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

@RedBullBixby 10 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.

@philfaulk1747 10 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.

@AspenSavage 10 месяцев назад

Love the videos. It would be sweet to win

@roberttowles6134 10 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 10 месяцев назад

Nothing better than a hunt with brothers.

@cdherb6488 10 месяцев назад

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

@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.

@stephenmallory8613 10 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!

@user-zr5lg5gc9x 10 месяцев назад

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

@michaelweiler4457 10 месяцев назад

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

@alaskafishin2429 10 месяцев назад

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

@CollisionRec 10 месяцев назад

Alaska is life-changing...once you have been bit, it is like every other place is secondary.

@travisebersole1862 10 месяцев назад

Vortex Nation...no better products on the market! Hands down BEST warranty in the nation!!!

@Cocos_outdoor_pursuit 10 месяцев назад

Just listening to the podcast alone with Dan Johnson makes me want to go on a trip like this so bad

@user-re9sl3nh4b 10 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.

@tylercole8067 10 месяцев назад

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

@ericemerson6329 10 месяцев назад

The stories from Kodiak never get old! Thank you for producing this and for holding up to your mission!

@user-kt7ll2kj4o 10 месяцев назад

Vortex Nation is my favorite podcast ever

@paulstark5475 10 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!

@user-dm2we3de7e 10 месяцев назад

What a humbling place to have an experience a life time with good friends. Fun to see a group of guys with such raw emotion, respect, and passion for the outdoors!

@briandecker9846 10 месяцев назад

As a deer hunter for over 40 years this is a bucket list place for me!!

@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!

@jims.8727 10 месяцев назад

This is what it's all about; That's a phrase that seemed to be driven into me as a boy being introduced to hunting. The excitement and the bonds. That's hunting heritage in my family and in North America. Long live Vortex and all of these American assets.

@darkexitus8579 10 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

@curtisharvey8234 10 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 "!

@garrettplank599 10 месяцев назад

It is SO refreshing to see this level of emotion after finding success out of such big name hunters. Congratulations guys!

@BenBruggeman 10 месяцев назад

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 10 месяцев назад

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

@corbinsmith4778 10 месяцев назад

Definitely memories you will look back on fondly

@bfaraway9372 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic. Its so much fun to watch Mark and Eric become the stars of an adventure hunt show. Your film and production crew did a great job on this.

@arnesona011 10 месяцев назад

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

@onesureshot223 10 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

@trevorwallace4789 10 месяцев назад

A hunt of a lifetime! Beautiful breathtaking scenery! Gotta love it.

@user-eo4fb3jx6o 10 месяцев назад

Always fun watching!

@shanesmith3643 10 месяцев назад

What a hunt that was, untouched, beautiful landscape, mixed weather challenges as well as testing your physical endurance, ending with absolute studs of bucks down! A hunting trip to Alaska is at the top of my bucket list. Great job guys!!!

@leadmandave 10 месяцев назад

Alders to Alpines!!! I love it!!!

@crg268 10 месяцев назад

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

@KarlOliver-fq2uv 10 месяцев назад

Alders to Alpines - what an awesome adventure!

@sticksandstonesadv 10 месяцев назад

Sounds like an incredible trip. Alaska is so awe inspiring, it's nice to sit at work and have a listen to your podcast live vicariously through you guys.

@T-JOutdoors 10 месяцев назад

A dream trip! So glad to see high quality hunting videos like this, free on a platform like this. I’m probably among the youngest to still remember rewinding home copy VHS tapes of hunting content.

@aaronjarecki8582 10 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.

@ktivo2 10 месяцев назад

Currently living vicariously through this video. Kodiak is at the top of my list. Can't wait to step foot in that beautiful country.

@loranrichardson660 10 месяцев назад

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

@darylstephens7446 10 месяцев назад

so glad I saved this to go back and watch later. what a hunt! would love to experience this wilderness

@user-hm9mq7op3d 10 месяцев назад

@kennyc944 6 месяцев назад

Wow! What a journey Mark. Thank you for sharing.

@jessesilva4768 10 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.

@TheAverageHunter478 10 месяцев назад

Alaska is truly a sportsman’s paradise!

@crookedridgephotography2797 10 месяцев назад

That looks like an incredibly challenging and rewarding hunt. Beautiful country and animals. Super cool for sure. Congrats to all you guys pushing your tags. One to remember for sure

@gregdahl981 10 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!

@kennethjackman2120 10 месяцев назад

Monumental hunt! Alaska is on my list. I know the feeling they were experiencing and know there is nothing like it and how you feel so alive. Good job gentlemen!

@balmg4113 10 месяцев назад

What an adventure. Can’t wait to watch the next one

@royfridy3436 10 месяцев назад

Now I know I need to add Alaska to my places to visit. Thanks for sharing the bonding experience with friends that help make hunting an even better adventure.

@dr.dockter1482 10 месяцев назад

Great work guys, adapting and overcoming nature and some great video work. Thank you for taking us along on the journey. Alaska is very high on the bucket list.

@isaacbarley7208 10 месяцев назад

The best and most memorable hunts always have a bit of a suffer fest element, that’s why we hunters value quality gear. The challenge is why we keep coming back to grow, share, and make memories. Excellent adventure, thanks for sharing. Production value was impressive. Thanks for what you do.

@samsconzert4196 10 месяцев назад

I love the amount of veteran support Vortex provides, the specifics on cartridges that they talk about in the podcast, and the quality of their optics. (And that they are in Wisco 😉) Happy Hunting Boys!
