Cheers!

Instablaster

Thank you! Season 4 was filmed in 2010. I have 10 times the footage available on DVD as I do on RU-vid. DVDs available at my website www.billymolladventures.com

@@moderndaymountainman8130 thank you MDMM. A reply from you is better than a Tom Cruse autograft. Love what you do and how you do it. God bless you and your family and keep your hunters safe

@@moderndaymountainman8130 anyway you could upload your DVDs to a website for purchase? I'd love to purchase some from you but don't watch many DVDs these days.

Are you the guy that packed a bear skin out on your shoulders?

​@@msa4548nope

Thanks for the tip! I will check it out. Quick rifle access is a must in AK!!!

@@moderndaymountainman8130 kifaru and mystery ranch both have that. Love you footage, stay safe my friend.

The Kuiu rifle attachment made for that pack is about as fast as humanly possible.

Slik Sling is another option. Simple, cheap, and easy access.

Ha! I meant one skull per blade😊

It was obvious and entertaining. I so can relate because as another life long wilderness hunter I often lose my verbal intent. I watch, relate to and appreciate your wisdom and experience. Be well and thanks for your videos Bill.

oh hey what's up, I'm from Indiana too looking at Alaskan hunting!

Thank you! More faith discussions coming in a MDMM podcast that will also air on this YT channel.

Much appreciated. Stay tuned, much more coming...

Thank you!! Too soon to get another dog, but I think I'll get another lab. Great companions.

@@moderndaymountainman8130 Sorry to hear of your loss of your companion!! Thank you for your great videos! They are both well made and interesting. They are also quite informative and (REAL) as far as hunting goes!! Yes, labs are the best! I bred and trained labs for 10 years for waterfowl and upland bird hunting. I had 4 REALLY GOOD LABS over the years, but there was "ONE", (RUGER), which was the "BEST". Both as an intelligent dog, ((300 yard "BLIND" retrieves with just a whistle and hand commands)), and as a DEVOTED COMPANION at my side for 12 years 24/7!! I will miss that dog FOREVER! I also helped guide black bear hunts in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan 98-2004. I lived in Michigan (30 years), Wisconsin (2 years), now in Minnesota (3 years). I live vicariously through your hunts, as I am on oxygen now, (4th stage COPD), and am limited as far as strenuous hunting goes. Would LOVE to go deer hunting with you in Wisconsin! Just by chance, what would you charge? You can reach me at Bearclan59@gmail.com.

Glad it was helpful! Will consider that.

Too kind. Season 4 was filmed in 2010. My most recent hunts are on DVD (available at www.billymollsadventures.com) and waiting to be produced. Will be posting more older hunting content on YT soon though. Appreciate your support.

All my newer stuff is available on DVD. I WILL be posting some of my oder footage soon!

Nope. I just cover the muzzle with electrical tape.

You bet!

Thank you

Glad I could help!

Thank you! Always open to ideas to things viewers would like my to share.

Not to mention paracord has about 10 million other uses and it’s light and doesn’t take up much room. Just super handy to have while hunting.

Glad it was helpful!

Ha! None... Thus far.

@@moderndaymountainman8130 oh come on, i suppose once u get on site, u just talk with the clients and there mostly all desk sitters wealthy type

go to howtohunt.com youtube he`s a guide in bc he has tons of stories people mail into him ,im on the fence think most is bs but some are interesting missing 411 is also very interesting

@@atv55803 I watch very little video, but I do like that guy.

@@moderndaymountainman8130 yeah he puts out a lot of content great backdrops east of Vancouver area 4 guys went missing recently in his area and 2 down near mt rainier dogs found no trace very bizarre

Will do that sometime. Thank you!

🙏🍻

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Brother! More videos on the topic of Christian faith coming soon!

@@moderndaymountainman8130 thank you. You are a true hero to me. And what I would call a tv star. May god keep you, your family and hunters safe. (THANKS)

Thank you! More Content on the way.

@@moderndaymountainman8130 that's great news, I've been binge watching all of your RU-vid videos. I'm from Newfoundland, Canada and im really motivated to go get a nice bull caribou... Thank you for the Inspiration!!!

i see you're not a guide.

Glad it was helpful!

Their stuff is top-shelf.

Kuiu, Sitka and First Lite. These 3 brands all make excellent field proven gear.

@@moderndaymountainman8130 have you reached out to them to be an endorsed athlete?

Can I go?

Good luck!

I just keep firearm handy, make sure I'm good with God, and I sleep like a baby!

It’s funny how often this question comes up. The bears in the interior of Alaska are extremely fearful of humans. The smell of people tends to keep bears away from camp.

Hilleberg

Love it! Thanks for the idea! I will do that around a campfire someday... But 95% of my hunters are great.

@@moderndaymountainman8130 Thanks for the reply but there is that 5 percent....lol. just kidding. Have a safe winter 👊👊👊

I think all airlines allow ammo with firearm now.

Keep a rifle, or at least pistol handy and don't worry about anything else. As you watch my videos you'll see that I, like most guides who live with bears for months at a time, don't follow what the "experts" say.

The bears where Billy is hunting are SUPER fearful of humans. Even though there’s food, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. the scent from the people at camp keep them away.

Yes I have. Several times. Stay tuned for videos!

Thanks, will do!

Not really. Another reason one needs good gear.

Never used one. I've heard they work well.

SG is a great pack. Shoulder straps are a little thin for 80+-pound loads, but the pack can certainly handle it. I you're frequently packing heavy loads I'd suggest a Barney's pack.

TIPI is excellent. Never used the stove.

H&H

@@moderndaymountainman8130 ok it’s official now…. You are my hero!!! I have both and the H&H is so much smoother if fast cycling and at least for me with factory loads mainly federal and Nosler is extremely accurate. I’m have high confidence out to 350 yards but limit myself to 150 and if all is perfect 225…. I think I need to book you lol

Makes sense

@@moderndaymountainman8130 Ryan Lambers introduced these to me. Never looked back.

Thanks 👍

10 bags. If I’m not mistaken, they are called Alaskan game bags.

260

25 degree for backpack/early season hunts. 0 otherwise.

I've used Montbell and Kuiu. Both are great.

The wilderness is so precious.

Not sure on the brand. I don't know if mine is any better than any others...

Neo air pad by Thermarest. Montbell makes great bags. Kuiu and Stone Glacier are also top-notch.

I use the rifle for bear and moose hunting. I use the .44 for sheep hunts.
