Taking that plane ride made me so Thankful to God for his creation. During this time on Earth it is a blessing to see the Earth in its natural habitat. The Shark on the beach was neat to see. The Eagles were probably Happy. Loved seeing Bennett get the Deer. He is a pretty good Hunter. He is definitely growing, seeing him sleep in the plane, his resting bones are setting in. But you guys worked hard. Mark, you are such a great Husband, Father, Provider, Teacher, Guider, and Man of integrity. All with a clear vision of Patience. And a charitable heart to bring all to others. So incredible this mission. I don't know how you came up with this idea. But I thank you for all your Time Talent and Treasure. Bring it on, I can't wait to see what is next
Glad you like the videos and glad you found our channel. To us, a huge part of the hunting experience is having great meat in the freezer all winter long.
Thanks for watching. I was glad we made it home, it was a whirlwind of a day. If we had been stuck, it was about 10 days till the weather cleared again.
What a great video. Really appreciate the time and effort to video and edit and upload to the Tube! I would really love to experience a fly-in black tail hunt someday and watching the video made me feel like I was there. Certainly appreciate the processing portion also. Well Done, cheers!
Thank you Chris. Black tail hunting is underrated by some, but I feel it’s such a great experience, especially for a younger hunter to have great early experiences with hunting big game.
I need to just bite the bullet and just get a plane. It’s hard to believe all the hunting seasons are already upon us again. Congrats to your son for the deer. It looked like it was a good time despite the weather. Keep raising them right, safe flying, and good luck this season.
Thank you Steven, glad you enjoy them. These hunting trips are a big part of our life as a family and as way to share or family values with our children.
Thanks for the awesome hunting trip . Congratulations Bennett on your getting a deer.Glad you both had a father son hunting trip. Those are the best times.
Great hunt Bennett!! A beautiful healthy deer AND hedgehog mushrooms, youre quite the hunter, so impressive for your age!! Your dad is teaching you well!! Loved seeing you put together the meat grinder like a pro!! And the best tasting deer meat youve ever had?..WOW!! What an incredible experience for your first deer hunt, thanks for sharing!! 😊
So cool to just hop in your plane and go hunting. This will be a great a memory for Bennett (he’s a mini Mark). Good job Bennet! Thanks for taking us along.
It is cool and sometimes I have to remind myself that this is what I hoped and dreamed about doing as I was a young adult. On the other hand, a trip like this is fairly stressful as I’m always trying to be safe while flying in challenging conditions and not getting stuck out there for a week or more due to fall storms. If we hadn’t made it out that day, we likely would’ve been stuck for 7-10 days due to a series of nasty storms that rolled through the Gulf of Alaska.
Congratulations Bennett, on getting a deer 🦌 the views are gorgeous as always. Did you land your plane on the beach? Great job on doing that I was a little nervous when I seen that
Yes, we landed on a sandy beach. As the tide goes out it is very firm, almost like landing on a paved airstrip as long as it’s wet. It can be tricky to time it right as the beach is covered in water twice a day with the high tides.
I’m not sure, he needs to improve his shooting ability and maturity. Maybe basic grouse or rabbits in a year if the circumstances are right, otherwise probably not till he’s 9 at the earliest.
If they hunt under my direct supervision they are ok for now. As they get older or if the want to hunt any of the youth specific tags they have to take the hunters safety class. All adults are required to have the course to hunt in Ak, for the most part as there are a few exceptions for bush Alaska.
Yes, they take hunter safety courses and also lots of gun safety coaching at home in the yard. For them to participate in the drawing hunts, like their moose hunt this Fall they have to pass the Hunter safety course which consists of a pen and paper test and a shooting test. They do a lot of studying beforehand.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. These trips are a lot of work with young kids along, but at this point I would do it any other way.
I have been binge watching all your videos so far and I just love how you share the prossing part and the types of cuts you get from the animals.
Glad you like the videos and glad you found our channel. To us, a huge part of the hunting experience is having great meat in the freezer all winter long.
Wow, the views from the plane were so beautiful
It is an amazing but often hard flight! Thanks for watching!
I love when Bennett says, "She's got some chompers!" 😁
That’s what we are always looking for in a trophy deer, 😆
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
Super impressive Mark and Bennett. What an adventure!

Pot of gold, absolutely! First deer, brilliant. ( Welcome home from Maui. ) Happy Christmas!
Thanks for watching and checking out these videos!
Fun hunt. I didn't think you could fly and hunt the same day in Alaska?
P.S. Bush Flyer Kudos. Lovely to see you home safe.
I'm always happy to be home safe too, especially after a really challenging flight light that one.
Buen trabajo como padre!
Gracias Vicky!
Awesome Bennett you got a deer!

Cool new sub!
Rad!
Congratulations Bennett, what age will you take Weston hunting
I’m not sure, he needs to improve his shooting ability and maturity. Maybe basic grouse or rabbits in a year if the circumstances are right, otherwise probably not till he’s 9 at the earliest.
Do you have your boys take a fire arm safety course?
If they hunt under my direct supervision they are ok for now. As they get older or if the want to hunt any of the youth specific tags they have to take the hunters safety class. All adults are required to have the course to hunt in Ak, for the most part as there are a few exceptions for bush Alaska.

Fly and hunt same day not an issue with black tail?
No, it’s allowed and practiced regularly. Weather windows can be really short that time of year.
Do you see a lot of sharks
That is the first I’ve ever seen washed up. In some places they get concentrated during summer salmon runs, but we’ve never run into that.
