Searching For Wild Horses At: Kiger Mustang Herd Management Area 

Dad&woof you are binging me like Netflix and I really appreciate it!

Thank you! It came together on its own pretty easily.

The sound track is from red dead redemption 2 🤠😂😂😂

@@kbsvlog1442 Aw dont cry

@@kbsvlog1442 it’s the soundtrack from that one scene with Arthur and Lenny “LENNY!!”😂😂😂

They are special for sure. I was lucky to even see them.

Only they aren't prehistoric. Takhi or Przewalski's horse in Russia (looks like a Burro) is Ancient wild horse. These escaped from Conquistador's & Spaniards. Thay are mixed Arabian & Spanish

Thanks so much Pam. There are def some sad things with horses. Fortunately the wild ones have a pretty good life.

@@MattCookOregon had to watch this again lol there are 3 Passions in my life and that is camping fishing and horses!!! ... Wonder if there are places you can camp out there... I would set out there a lot following and watching them ...just wishful thinking 😄 🏕 🚣🎣🐎🐎🐎🐎 ..lol

@@pamelagonzalez9567 That is awesome. I am not a huge horse person but love all animals. I have had an itch to ride one, that sure would make for a cool video. Yes you can definitely camp anywhere on that land, just have to bring everything you need, including water, bathroom, etc.

@@MattCookOregon oh man that would be so cool!!

Pam, Youre an Idiot if you think we break their "Spirit". Why dont you go to the Steens in Jan and see how long you survive? . Its a frickin hard life for them. Minus temps in the winter, boiling in the summer, occasional mountain lion jumping on your back.I have a Steens Mustang from the south herd. He is over 20. He is in th Willamette valley right now, he has a blanket on . Gets fed twice a day. Has been ridden on the Alvord Desert in the dark, Been to the top of the mountain, has been ridden with his peeps. He likely would have been dead years ago by a horrible circumstances if not adopted. This isn't Walt Disney, its real life and its real, and can be brutal.

So special! I believe they are the greatest horse breed in history.

Very intimidating. What a beast!

Gotta see these. Might be harder than I made it look too. I wanted to go up Steens but too much snow on this trip.

This is true. Gold mining videos also. What is great about video game music is that they don't copywrite claim your videos.

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I like to use things til they don't work.

Matt.Cook.Oregon same!

Awesome. That is kind of how I found it haha. Glad I took an Eastern Ore trip right before the madness.

Absolutely. Will Rainier get mad if you leave it though?

Matt.Cook.Oregon She might!

@@rodtheer8141 I can babysit

Thank you Dakota!

Interesting! Tracking sure takes some patience and time. Would have loved a higher vantage point for some different shots. Thanks man I will keep it up but might run out of footage to edit soon if things stay crazy.

Can't live without them!

Thanks sis. I took a trip before all the crazyness so I have a bunch of videos to edit!

lmao. This music plays in my head whenever I head to Eastern Oregon.

@@MattCookOregon The greatest video game music I’ve ever heard, that’s for sure👏🏼😁

Yes they are! What great horses huh?

Thanks! My man. What kinda commercial was it?

@@MattCookOregon I knew you were going to ask that the first one was for Messenger, the second one was for man wipes👍

@@YankeesOutdoorAdventures hahaha man wipes I approve.

Thank you! Wish I could think of more topics that use western music.

Thank you Hike Camp! Put a little western vibe on things and they always come out classy.

@@MattCookOregon Indeed...LOL

Thanks so much. Roads are a bit rough but doable in most cars. Lots of patience needed, hopefully I didn't make it look too easy. I have heard people go and don't see them at all sometimes. French Glen Hotel is a great spot to stay at nearby.

@@MattCookOregon thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind 😊

Thanks so much! I love the western kinda stuff, would love to get more into that.

True! Thanks man. I already want to go back. Wonder when travel ban is over?

Thank you! More to come from Eastern Oregon.

Thanks dude. Google earth is awesome. I went for a globe zoom for the first time ever. I use it and OBS to record the screen.

@@MattCookOregon It's something I would LOVE to learn how to do! Just take my lame itinerary-map from the California Spring-trip I'm currently trying to make videos of... Part 1 starts with that map, but California sure doesn't translate well to video format! I had to flip it down, as if the state suddenly laid down on its back with the Pacific as a blanket, Nevada as a mattress and Oregon as a pillow. It sucks! I wanna do some map-thingie so badly, but can't figure out how.

Thanks Arielle! Have some good other stuff coming from Eastern Oregon.

@@MattCookOregon you're most welcome Matt. I look forward to it. ❤

Thanks so much!

Thank Jennifer! It was lucky for sure.

Thanks! Same here. Lets crush this virus and then get back to normal.

Thanks so much Anna. Badass name.

Thanks so much! This one was actually pretty easy to put together.

Nice

Good to hear from ya Happy Trails! Ever gonna do an Oregon trip?

@@MattCookOregon we would like to, but you kept telling us not to come. LOL. (Seriously, yes, one of these years we will get there.)

@@HappyTrailsHiking Oh we just say that to everybody to scare the riff raff out! Anything good planned while we are all supposed to stay indoors?

Awesome! Can I ride it?

@@MattCookOregon maybe

Thanks Max! Of course I did the drone after the horses, cause no way they would stick around with that noise haha

Thanks Bagger! Peak bagger? Grocery bagger? Had a fun trip to Steens in Oregon earlier this year that I filmed 3 videos for, this is the first. Next one is a birding video out later today!

Maps are a great way to add another layer to videos. Can't go wrong with showing any maps. I have tried a few different ways but this way is my favorite. I am happy to help if you have any questions on doing that. Basically I use google earth, and record the screen with OBS. Both are free programs.

Thank you so much! Maybe I should apply?

My favorite youtube celebrity. Thanks dude. I really thought I was impersonating you with all the driving clips haha. You wouldn't believe how shakey the zoomed in shots were originally. Adobe stabilization did some serious work.

@@MattCookOregon One day I'm going to impersonate you by actually researching my destination and providing interesting, useful information about it. Till then... uh, here's my car on yet another dirt road. LOL

​@@softroadingthewest Forgot to mention the huge biceps and 6 pack but sure.

@@MattCookOregon LOLOL...I know what kind of 6-pack you have, my friend.

@@softroadingthewest True just bought 3 of them. Pelican Dank IPA, very good new stuff. Highly recommend.

Thanks man. Gotta check Eastern out for sure. I got two more from that area coming soon, Alvord Desert and Malhuer Wildlife Refuge.

@@MattCookOregon look forward to those Matt. Have a great day and please be safe out there!!

Let me ride your horses then!

Thanks. Dude. Imagine the great one, Sagina, doing commentary on these horses. "So whats your name horse? Seabiscuit huh? Those biscuits must get soggy in the sea!"

@@MattCookOregon Ha ha! Yea, I have been out that way before. Awesome up on Steens looking down. You must have one heck of a long lens!

@@Sagina1999 I got a cheap 300mm. Not the sharpest thing but sure does zoom a lot. I wanted to go up Steens but all roads were closed. Looking at it seems like it would be some fun cross country ski.

@@MattCookOregon Yea too early. The lens seems fine. Lots of heat waves! Huge zoom!

Thanks for the info Connie. Good call. Probably cow dung then. Maybe there was a power struggle happening right in front of us for heard leadership.

I couldn't resist.

Haven't heard of him. That Oregon Desert book looks pretty cool. I will have to find that. Thanks for mentioning that.

Yep Fall would be more ideal than my early Spring trip. Main camera was Canon 70d with a 75-300mm lens. Def need some zoom as those horses don't want you near them.

Huh good eye. I need to go back with my new 500mm lens now.

Oh wait that big 300k acre fire might be smoking Steens mountain out.

Good horse music eh?

The music was from a western video game called Red Dead Redemption.

@@MattCookOregon Hmm, is it risk-free to use it in a video? I mean, Copyright strike-riskfree?

@@Hummingbirder1 At the moment yes. But they could always change their mind.

My old camera canon 70d with a 300mm. Not the sharpest thing ever. I got a newer camera now, but no telephoto lens yet.

ok

Nothing better than being free. Just like any other animal. That is how they were before we arrived. The blm does provide some care though.

@@MattCookOregon What is blm?

@@learleywells4498 a government org that manages the land

I hope you enjoyed the video.

@@MattCookOregon I did very much. I love mustangs
