Many years later, this still holds up as one of my favorite episodes. Ive watched it a dozen times at this point.

I disagree with Steve on a handful of things, but one thing I love about the man is his willingness to share moments that imperfect, emotional, reflective.

The look on Steve's face when that outboard started up was priceless!

Steve, I experienced the same feeling while deer hunting 5 years ago. I am a meat hunter. Fill the freezer then give to our elders any extra. The last 3 years I watched the deer 🦌 and their many different manorisms. Started to recognize deer from previous years. I went from not wanting to harvest to a feeling of kinship with the deer and nature itself. This was a truly great video with thoughtful inspiration. Thanks

the combination of spring bear hunting and fresh seafood in alaska makes this episode a true adventure, the wild environment is stunning

Such a beautiful area to fish and hunt. Good choice on the bear. The seafood looks fantastic.

17:43 Profundity needs no explanation.
Of all the episodes seeing you complete so many hunts (which I thoroughly enjoy) this one is my new fav. I think it speaks volumes to how much you respect and admire the creatures you hunt.

Thank you Steve. Hunters truly are the greatest conservationists there are. We love nature and the bounty it offers, but never kill just for the sake of filling a tag. My 3 bears have all been taken up close with traditional muzzleloaders. Sneaking up on something so beautiful and powerful is fulfilling in itself. Filing the freezer is just a bonus.

Steve, you are a real gentleman. @ 17:22 you say it all.
Thank you for being a true sportsman!
And that seafood dinner, wow, that looked great! Thanks again.

[stefanvanderwals]

Literally any animal: just chillin

I just Have To Smile about the Cabin Mink and the Hot Water Flood!! Floor needed washing anyway. In One Way or Another, We've All Been There!! The Outboard Starting on the First Pull makes up for All of That!!

[josheldridge]

I think you done it just right...at the end of the day it's about survival and respecting and appreciating our need to hunt

[eugeneweeks]

That Yamaha starting on the first pull! Best outboards ever built.

[mr_ballistic]

I know that feeling. I've passed up bears because I just wasn't feeling it. The time wasn't right, conditions weren't quite right. I know it's an old episode but it's still a great one.

[bssaassin]

Im just jealous of that mountain of freshly harvested seafood especially the Dungeness crab and prawns😋

[girthosaurus]

Meat Eater guided hunts would be so worth the money

[perupogusamson]

Thanks Steve sharing your video after long time watching from India🇮🇳

[pamelapelech]

That crab and mussel looks fantastic.
Great job.

[ronwatson]
