In all honestly this hunt is the most fun you can have and still be legal I believe (I wanted to say with your clothes' on but that might have been weird). To share my world and Sitka blacktail with Jim Heffelfinger after years of discussion was wonderful. The comradery between Jim and I and Marcus was perfect. Karen Petersen, my lovely bride kept us well fed with wonderful table fare. We hunted hard and enjoyed our time. Jim Heffelfinger deserves a rematch....the invite is open. I wait...
I love how genuinely excited Handsome Jim is to share the landscape he knows so well. You can just tell how he wants to point out and share all of it. That's something special.
Clearly there's some great editing, but for sure Marcus' footage is incredible. He's an artist - just a step up from the crowd. I never look for editing credits but it's always obvious who the photographers are.
Hello All. I tune in and it's my old friend Jim B. What a treat! I visited Jim & Karen in 2014 and was introduced to SE Alaska hospitality, and rain! Lots of rain. A great visit with of two really stand up folks. Looking forward to Episode 2. Best to All involved. 👍
Thanks Jim. All's well in the Greater Yellowstone Country. Let me know when you're back this way and I'll buy you lunch! Holiday Wishes to all of Randy's viewers... 🎅
Marcus... How in the world were you able to film anything? I'm incredibly thankful you're there doing so. It's not just the knowledge that these two men have (obviously, they have their Doctoral Degrees), it's how excited and passionate they are and how willing they want to share and want to learn that I find so addicting. Hunting with them isn't just hunting, it's a world class education. Thank you for sharing this.
Poor Marcus... rough duty, back in Alaska once again ! This should be a fine adventure to watch unfold. When I saw that roast, I was like... "Ok, what will the rest of you be eating for dinner?" I'd be headed for venison coma! What a gorgeous roast!
Loved Rain Deer back when it came out and loved this too. Pretty much will watch anything Randy puts out and Jim Baichtal should just change his last name to Blacktail (or at least lie and say Baichtal is German for Blacktail) ;) The guy just knows deer. Love watching the few vids of him out there and hearing him on podcast. I get to chase a different type of blacktail here in Northwestern Oregon but we still chase them mostly in rather "moist" conditions and call them the grey ghosts of the forest.
I'm always confused with the thumbs down. Is their just a bunch of anti-hunting folks that thumbs down them? Like, "I'll show them, thumbs down!". Love it, keep up the great work.
This is so cool... ready to see what happens next....never thought about doing a roast like that,have taken the shoulders of a whitetail and cured with pink salt and put it in the smoker ,a lot better than grinding it into hamburger.
You produce great content! I have have learned a great deal of knowledge from you that I apply in the field darn near every time! Keep on keepin on Randy, appreciate you
I really like the recipe specifics written out. I don't like that it's 8am, just finishing morning workout, and I was looking forward to coffee. Now all I can think about is the taste of red meat and fat.
Well, looks like plans have changed for that whitetail currently hanging in my cooler. I'm thinking that roast recipe is a must try. Great episode, beautiful story telling and teaching once again!
I mainly use an COW TALK ELK CALL from E.L.K. Inc...www.elkinc.com/cow-talk-elk-call/ I also use hand crafted calls from Alaska Specialty Woods, Drop Shot Calls..alaskawoods.com/product-category/dropshot-calls/
1:22 in and I just put it together that this is Jim and Jim hunting in Nirvana! This is going to be great. Like TR and Leopold, Michelangelo and DiVinci, or George Straight and ZZ Top, together at last!!
Randy - this was a great episode despite your absence. You need to get Mrs. Baichtal a yeti cooler to rest her roasts in, and Jim H. some new Sitka gear. He was sticking out like soar thumb compared to jim b in that cover. And obviously a towel is not going to hold the heat like a ridiculously overpriced cooler will...
They remind me of the coastal blacktail in northern California. I've taken 3 bucks in the past near Mendocino, CA, probably averaged 110 lbs for a 6 point (eastern 6 point) buck.
That's such beautiful countryside. I've lived all my life on an island of 45 square miles, so part of me longs for a place I can walk from horizon to horizon and never run out of new places to explore.
As I have understood it, Blacktail are a hybrid of Columbian Whitetail (What Lewis and Clark mostly saw...and probably as good as extinct, though populations certainly still exist...for now) and Mule Deer. Sitka are a sub-species by isolation of that hybrid. Please, correct me if I'm wrong! Edit: and the rate we are going with habitat change, won't be long til all we have is Eastern Whitetail.
Here's an article I wrote about where Mule Deer come from ("when a deer father loves a deer mother very much........") www.deernut.com/Documents/MDF%20The%20Origin%20of%20Mule%20Deer%20JanFeb%202016.pdf
Howa in .308. I'm Old School. :) Howa is a sponsor and that was the first time I held one. No BS, I was impressed! With the custom turret Leupold scope we just dialed 184 yards and smacked it. Second shot (in the rain) hit the lead splatter of the first. Bolt is very smooth, cerakote is durable, and if it were mine, it would have my YHM suppressor on the threaded barrel.
He was making up that buck he saw. I deal with liars on a daily basis at my practice and when the first thing after being questioned somebody responds "ah man! Now you guys are gonna think we are making it up" he most likely is making it up
Marcus in Alaska, is he really? I heard a voice that sounded like him. I've never known Marcus to be camera shy... Maybe it's Michael pretending to be Marcus. ha! ha!
Watching this. It's no wonder that deer locked up on them. Worst looking camo pattern ever for that surrounding. He almost glows. Sorry guys time to get some new camo
IMO camouflage doesn’t mean much. Maybe it’s just that I can’t afford most of it. 😆 I hunt a lot, never wear camo even bow hunting, better than average kill rate. Put on all that camo and then an orange vest over the top of it.😆
It did seem a little glossy. Not much better that’s waterproof though. It really doesn’t matter. What matters most is being still enough that you see your quarry before it sees you, and staying warm, dry and quiet. Handsome Jim could have taken that doe easily. Or was it the other Handsome Jim?

Markus is a world class videographer! I can always tell when he is behind the camera as everything is a step up!
Clearly there's some great editing, but for sure Marcus' footage is incredible. He's an artist - just a step up from the crowd. I never look for editing credits but it's always obvious who the photographers are.
a tip : watch movies on kaldrostream. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Leroy Bishop Definitely, I've been using kaldroStream for since december myself :D
@Leroy Bishop Definitely, I have been using kaldroStream for years myself :D
Glad to see that these two Jim’s finally got to meet up for a hunt and learning experience. A true North meets South moment

I should proofread before I hit "Send". Strike "of" but keep the idea that Jim & Karen are really fine folks, 'cause they are. 🙂

They could've said they were hunting in NW Oregon and I would have believed them because it looked like some of the country I hunt here.
If you made 12 hours on just sitka blacktails I'd watch every second of it. Excellent content, subscribing now!
I'm always confused with the thumbs down. Is their just a bunch of anti-hunting folks that thumbs down them? Like, "I'll show them, thumbs down!".
Love it, keep up the great work.
Yep
Man, that roast looked amazing! I was hoping to get Marcus' review... Can't wait to see what's next.

Awesome video. Great to see you guys having fun and enjoying the many gifts God has given us. Stay safe and keep up the great work!
great video randy giving us motivation to get outside and hunt in Australia
Go for it!
Right on mate!
That recipe works for Roos also! (maybe)
@@jimheffelfinger4067 might give it a crack

Great video Randy, I love hunting Blacktail here in Washington, it is so fun. Received my elk cleaning knife on Saturday, great piece of equipment.
Thanks for the recipe at the end! Tremendous!
Counting the days now…I actually know that wooden walk way! 😉👊🏻🏹

I am 12 and I like in Washington and this yearI got a 5 point buck and a huge 5 point bull with 300 mag.
That is a beautiful cabin and beautiful land.

Jim is the man. What a legend.
Infamous maybe...just a deer hunter with passion for Sitka blacktail, thank you.
Thank you !! (LOL)
I intentionally left it open for interpretation. Great videos Jims!
Great video as usual!
13:46 Hahahahah feeding the camera man ???😂
Oh, man! Nice!!
That roast looks money
It was church, yo!
Awesome!
Hey If your seeing this i live in the place your hunting the road you guys were on i drove that road about one million times
What's Santa Claus doin on a huntin show 🤣 .
awesome

@@jimheffelfinger4067 Thank you for the links! Things to read while I'm on the road are always good, doubly so if I learn something!
how many gallons of water does the house average use per day?
Can you tell me what the collection was on the shelves under the stairs around the 2:15 mark?
Fossils and rocks!
i live near this guy
I can't believe there are 1 let alone 28 turds out there that would give this video a thumbs down.
Looking for the “ rain deer episode” ??

Curious what type of rifle is he using and what caliber?
I think the show is sponsored by Howa. I'd guess 7mm-.08

Nope, there was a buck there... I have called it in twice since.

That looks MISERABLE.
It was wonderful...
Take it from a desert rat - it was great! We had the gear to stay dry and warm. I never thought about comfort the whole week.
