Don't kill animals., who gives u the right to slaughter animals.?? I'd like to slaughter ALL HUNTERS. there's something wrong w/ ppl that slaughter animals. NUTS !!!
@@kellythomas90 Okay, you don't get it. Some do, some don't. You're one of the 'don't get its'. Doesn't mean I want to slaughter you. Educate... maybe. And for what it's worth, remember that we are, each and every one of us, the descendants of successful hunters. Think about it.
@SMack I hunt moose and deer, mostly. I have hunted black bear, caribou and pronghorn antelope. Every year I shoot about a dozen or so grouse. I have taken the meat from each and every one. I have also had mounts made. The pronghorn in particular has magnificent horns. But that's not why I shot it. The horns were simply a bonus. Before taking the shot, all I knew was that it was a mature male. I suppose I could always leave the entire head to rot but if the hunt was particularly memorable for any one of a number of reasons, I will cape out the head and take the antlers/horns. None of my mounted specimens is anywhere near a record book trophy. Except for the pronghorn, they are quite average. Yet they represent something to me that I want to keep. Every time I look at them, memories come back. Usually, the memory has nothing to do with the actually shooting. It might just be sitting around the campfire, telling partially true stories. It might be eating fried potato and venison back at base camp when you are so hungry you were about to eat your boots. "Grub in the guts." As one hunting buddy's brother said during a moose hunt when sitting around the campfire drinking a wee dram, "Millionaires can't buy what we have right here." You either get it or you don't.
John your monologue was outstanding and was completely outdone by your actions and performance. Billy I look forward to your videos as much as I do any other program on TV or the net.
World needs more John’s and Billy’s in it. Respect to John, putting others safety before his own. Understanding the situation and doing the right thing. True professionals, both of you. I was in the military and served 30 years. John and Billy displayed what we in the military understand. Both were there for each other. You do it not just because it’s your job, but you do it because of the people you serve with. John said right after they put the bear down there aren’t many people he would do that with. Showed he respected and trusted Billy.
Gentleman that was epic hunting, Grizzlies are NO JOKE and your respect for the hunt of a wounded animal in that thick stuff is Admirable!!! Lord Bless and Keep you Men safe!
Holy Smokes! Never been on a bear hunt, so know nothing about them...but my palms were sweating!! Glad to see a dad raising his daughter up like that. It gives me hope for our future.
John, your words are that of honest man and it was refreshing to hear you speak of your life's experience. Billy, I felt like was I reading a Stephen King novel. The suspense of the bear's final act was particularly fixating! Well done, thank you for sharing this video. Glad to see all were safe.
Billy I've watched a lot of your videos and alot of other videos at that and this one is by far, the most well told and narrated story of an extreme hunting adventure. I could almost feel the story being told through the words and the voice inflection of what that moment was for every one of you. Id say i wished i was there but no thanks! Fantastic job to you and John both on protecting your clients, yourselves and retrieving a wounded bear! WOW! Awesome story.
I agree , outstanding video. Myself and some friends experienced a similar situation on a black bear in Canada. A hunt I'll never forget. I could remember the tension I experienced as I was watching ....great job.
That was the most intense hunt I've seen. You guys have nerves of steel to wade through that jungle knowing what awaits you. Thanks for sharing with us that will never get to experience that. I appreciate your spiritual content more than anything.
Joseph, Spiritual? These were rich trophy hunters looking for a mount, rug! Simple! And before you talk crap, I actually have lived, hunted many years here in Alaska!😉😳
The best Alaskan hunting video ever, hands down! I'm so happy for the young girl, her dad, and the folk who supported them on this terrific hunt. There is a lifetime of memories stored in this short video!
I believe i forgot to breathe for two whole minutes… Deep respect for two amazing guides who showed true outdoormanship in tracking this beautiful piece of wildlife
FYI John Anderson is not dead. It was a tribute to his father. He’s standing next to me on the beach in Mexico and he needs more sunblock. So please bring some:).
WOW ! Had me from “crawling out of my skin” on the follow up to almost “cuttin onions” listening to your prophetic words on family. Absolutely one of the best Billy 💯‼️
Thank you for following up on the bear. I know from second hand experience that it can end up tragically. My father was killed by a grizzly bear. I was 10,& there are different stories,so I still don’t know if it was wounded, or if my dad wounded it. 67 years ago.
Well, it's 2:25 a.m. Just finished watching SHADOW OF DEATH. Holy snappin, what an awesome adventure. Tip of the hat to John Anderson for his unwavering commitment to the lives of others.
WOW!! Best documented hunt I have ever watched. The tribute to Mr. Anderson. Hats off. I went from edge of seat to Whew... Then Billy's words, he always has great monologue. Very respectable man there. 🤘🇨🇦🙂
Do not know that I will ever be able to go on a hunt such as this. Time, distance and life have been good to me. But not without its toll. Anyone would be so fortunate to have either of you as a guide and teacher of God's great outdoors. May God bless you for offering your time and skills to make us all better. Thanks to you and John for all you do!!
Lol. Obviously, Plus they already explained why he was carrying the pack board, not that it wasn’t already fairly obvious to everyone, but I am glad you’re were paying attention! If it were me though, i would’ve also been carrying a large caliber handgun instead of a rifle going through that thick brush hunting a Wounded grizzly!
@@landonhardt7180 Better yet besides a big pistola a 10gauge 18" double barrel hammerless Coach Gun IC with 2oz loads @1,750fps of heaviest sized steel water fowl shot...!
Billy you are hands down one of the absolute best hunting documentarians out there! I started filming my hunts a couple years ago and your content is one of the examples that continues to help me learn. Keep up the awesome work!
"Hands down" is used when there's a clear winner. Not "Hands down" almost, one of the better, top 100. Once people hear a saying man they just regurgitate that shit non stop whether they know what it means or not.
PA Elk Guide here - respect doesn't begin to describe what I just watched. Tremendous skill, bravery and competence. Fantastic documentation and production value. "It's amazing what we do for so little money." - Ha! Know the feeling.
My uncle chose Ketchikan. It was 79 I believe and he hitchhiked there from Ohio. Had 3 dollars to his name. Started at a cannery. Almost 40 years later he retired as a shop teacher in anchorage and lives there to this very day. He’s a tremendous fisherman. I’ve had the pleasure of going to Alaska myself twice.
Billy, I had the privilege to meet you last Saturday, and you described this hunt. Very well done, loved the way you related this experience to what Christ did for us. Thanks.
John Anderson was what we call a hell of a man.A hell of a man. That was the most engrossing and intense and exciting film I've ever seen. Hats off to John and Billy for doing what real men do!!! Got to love Billy Molls.
Lost my Dad 9 years ago, pure hell going thru the grief, but passing down the love of the outdoors to your kids is the greatest gift you can give as a parent and a way to keep the spirit/ memories alive. Great video wow!
That young Lady got to experience something that few people (of any walk of life) could ever dream of . The most incredible rush and high, and lows imaginable. The memory and implications of her actions, are forever imprinted in her, and her approach to life. A forever memory. Kudos. We all should strive to be humbled also. Thanks !!
One of the best bear video’s ever made. It’s hard to comprehend how dangerous and the skill and bravery you need in a situation like that. I watched your show and it alway had me on the edge of my chair. Your the man to get as a hunting guide. Your video’s are amazing.
That was great, as all BM's video are-always respectful of the animal, informative and exciting. Thankful to be introduced to John Anderson and hear the love and respect for his father(and respect for Billy). Can't imagine what it would be like in that brush, just waiting for what you both thought was the inevitable. Thank the lord all went unharmed. Outstanding!
Hunting in the alders in alaska gets super intense but your instinct and senses do kick into high gear. Billy nailed it …..the world does stop while you’re in those jungles
Our modern day mountain man is the guide's guide this man from as far as the moose was200 + yards was telling the young lady ok now behind the shoulder and she nailed it in the butt she hit it square and another shoulder shot put the moose down .the best guide I've ever seen and the young lady was a dead eye congratulations
I have watched your RUclips videos over and over and wished I wasn't 71 years old now! I always wanted to hunt Alaska! Thank you for the great videos! It is the one thing I have always loved!
Absolutely awesome movie. Best I've seen. Growing up in northern British Columbia I've experienced a lot of hunting adventures but none compares with this one. Great job ,John Anderson. A standup guy! What is the young lady going to do to outdo this adventure that she got to experience with her father. Incredible! Thank you, Billy for your talent and dedication to sharing your lifestyle with us. Will be watching for future adventures. Thank you and may God bless you and your family.
One of the best hunts I've ever watched. Incredible footage, but the story told was one for the books. I laughed and cried...truly moving and inspiring...Thank You!
This is the BEST hunt I have ever seen!! I lost my dad named John Nicori Sr on 2-3-18. And I cried so hard to see the dedication of this dangerous hunt made to honor John's dad. Thank God Almighty to keep you guides protected.
RIP John you are definitely a guardian. Billy definitely great job on another job well done. With a.great friend by your side... As guide myself that is truly what said , not time to be scared time to focus and play your cards.. job well done...
That was one heart pounding video! Makes me have a whole new appreciation for experienced guides! I enjoy these videos so much. Keep 'em coming and thanks for clarifying John's well being.
I have already watched the video of the story of what happened. It's nice to see the video of how it happened. And good on you dad for your daughters comment "This is all our bear"
Billy, I hope you read this comment. Thank you for introducing us all to John. John’s story hits home on different levels and I think we are all blessed that he shared this with us. However, his comment that nobody would miss him ( I do realize what he was actually meaning because I have a daughter myself) really hit kind of hard. Please tell John his bravery and solidarity with you is commendable and inspiring. But most of all, he would absolutely be missed by more people than he’ll ever know. I believe he was put here intentionally by God to be a guardian for many daddy’s, uncles, brothers, sisters and moms that have loved ones back home praying for them to return safely. Please tell John that.
So sorry for your loss John……..What an absolute inspiring adventure. One of the very very few videos you just think about life, your life , and as I watched til the end , and ask yourself, am I doing what makes me happpy. I need to make some changes.! Thank you guys !!
Billy you definitely teamed up with a true solid guy in John this film was awesome ... Just goes to show experience is worth everything you live to shoot another bear and film more hunts .
What a stand up guy John is . Both him and billy are awesome men , but for John to say no man you have a wife and kids I’m takin lead . This is what a real man is , a real friend. Love it
My first thought after watching this, is he reminded me of some Ranger special forces friends I had in military. That was an amazing video, wow. I want to do this now.
Glad to see you came out of this unscathed. To watch two men with so much experience in a situation like this is humbling. Billy, what better guy to have at your side in this situation than John. You both have my utmost respect and I pray you are both always safe in your profession. Thanks for sharing this.
The Lord was watching over you all that day. But I have to say John is a hero. No it's, and, or buts. That he was willing to make that sacrifice for Billy says it all. 3 very brave men entered that thicket that day.
Billy what a great hunt with John. I was sitting on the edge of my chair during the brush entry. I was praying for you and John as you stalked that Wounded Grizzly through the underbrush. You two are amazing guides. What a amazing stalk. Thanks to both of you for this video. Please stay safe out there on your other hunts for years to come.🙏🙏🙏
Hat off to John. What a legend. Billy what a perfect showcase of the man John was. This story reminded me of the the song Brothers in Arms which my dad had playing every weekend and with tears running down my cheeks i salute you gentlemen.
Then you did get after that bear in the really thigt area, you show the hunting with respect, love to that Billy! My the Lord walk by your side, step by step...from Peter Eriksson Sweden ❤
This video kept popping up on my suggestions so I finally said what the heck and boy am I glad I did!! What an awesome bunch of outfitters and a great watch, keep making great memories!!
John story is a fantastic thing to hear, your dad is watching and he is proud of you and what you’ve made of yourself. Thanks MDMM, for another great adventure in gods country. After watching the video, it’s a good story all around. I’m glad nobody was hurt or chewed up on this one. I’ve seen how dangerous a black bear can be, can only imagine one of these big brown boys. What a great hunt for father and daughter to remember their whole life. Wishing you and yours the best from me and mine. God bless 👍🇺🇸🎥🥇🥇🥇🙏🏻
1) big congrats to Maddie on her moose and grizzly. Very impressive. 2) that final stalk you and John did, WOW. Cojones and nerves of steel. That’s what experience does for you. Slow and steady wins the race. And luckily, nothing bad happened to either of you. Thank the Lord for that!! 3) I’ve heard other guides touch on this subject as well, and after hearing you two say it, I must ask…what does bear smell like that makes it so different from everything else?
I'll try to give you an idea but I know it wont answer your question completely. A bear that eats a lot of meat in general smells stronger than a bear that eats berries and grass or has a mix of both in its diet. A strong smelling animal is often a carnivore but not always. Deer and horses can have a distinct smell. I shot a very good size black bear years ago that smelled less than my dog when my dog was clean. I was very surprised. The smell comes from the body and breath. The strong smell is like a musk odor but different. It's a strong animal smell that you can pick in a zoo. In French the expression is "fauve" a lion smells fauve, so do many wild animals. It implies a strong, distinct tawny smell.
I will try and give you an idea of the odor than can come from an animal? I've participated and been around The kill be it bear, antelope, deer or elk and never really took notice of an odor except it smells like an animal. When you get in the vicinity of say an elk it will very often smell like a barnyard, antelope if they've been running will have a very strong sagee smell it greatly depends upon what the animal has been eating, however your question brings to mind a particular hunt about 50 years ago. My husband killed a bear, I was just there but never really touched the bear. On the way home we stopped at the Local Tavern, I went in and bought a six pack of beer. Standing there in line I noticed I ended up being the only one by the cash register even the people in front of me had moved 😲, I didn't understand what was happening until I ran into a friend outside and he commented on my odor, LOL. I guess that was a particularly rank bear only I didn't realize it but everybody else did🤣
Billy my wife and I live in Maine in the central north part. We set and watch your videos and love them all but this one with John was 1 of my favorites mainly because of the roll that John played and the man that he is he is definitely one of a kind and a true friend and a great Guide. Look forward to watching many more god bless you all .
Sitting here on 3rd shift welding and came across this video. Thanks for helping my night go by a little faster with this awesome video . Good job girl! 💪👊
Should have let Mattie tag along, she deserved the experience. NOTHING is like a charging brownie. I really liked his description of peace, I could not describe it, until I heard his description.
That dad and daughter have many lifelong memories I’m sure! That young lady placed every shot were she was told! Great job young lady! Congrats to a great dad
You guys have guts man, I have tracked black bears and I know the feeling of that adrenaline. But to track a wounded grizzly or brown bear, no way in hell!
An unbelievably exciting record of an extremely dangerous recovery. As a frequent viewer of your video's this has to take the top suspenseful video spot Glad everyone came out uninjured Thanks for all you do.

Don't kill animals., who gives u the right to slaughter animals.?? I'd like to slaughter ALL HUNTERS. there's something wrong w/ ppl that slaughter animals. NUTS !!!
@@kellythomas90 boohoo! There's something very wrong with people that tell people not to kill animals. Yet you're here watching the killing.
@@billythatkidd6926 I don't watch them !!!!!
@@kellythomas90 Okay, you don't get it. Some do, some don't. You're one of the 'don't get its'. Doesn't mean I want to slaughter you. Educate... maybe.
And for what it's worth, remember that we are, each and every one of us, the descendants of successful hunters. Think about it.
@SMack I hunt moose and deer, mostly. I have hunted black bear, caribou and pronghorn antelope. Every year I shoot about a dozen or so grouse. I have taken the meat from each and every one. I have also had mounts made. The pronghorn in particular has magnificent horns. But that's not why I shot it. The horns were simply a bonus. Before taking the shot, all I knew was that it was a mature male.
I suppose I could always leave the entire head to rot but if the hunt was particularly memorable for any one of a number of reasons, I will cape out the head and take the antlers/horns. None of my mounted specimens is anywhere near a record book trophy. Except for the pronghorn, they are quite average. Yet they represent something to me that I want to keep. Every time I look at them, memories come back. Usually, the memory has nothing to do with the actually shooting. It might just be sitting around the campfire, telling partially true stories. It might be eating fried potato and venison back at base camp when you are so hungry you were about to eat your boots. "Grub in the guts."
As one hunting buddy's brother said during a moose hunt when sitting around the campfire drinking a wee dram, "Millionaires can't buy what we have right here." You either get it or you don't.
I’m a 33 yr veteran of law enforcement. These two guides were unbelievable. That was the bravest act I have ever seen.
God bless you boys.
I think John was the star of this hunt...how courageous he was to take the lead on finding that bear. What guts, what balls, what a man.
Anybody within 100 yards is braver than 99%.
I couldn’t imagine trailing a wounded brown bear through that brush!
John your monologue was outstanding and was completely outdone by your actions and performance. Billy I look forward to your videos as much as I do any other program on TV or the net.

Ethical hunting 101 right here!!!
99% of hunters would not have followed that Grizzly.
John Sr. RIP Sir. You raised an amazing Son
Tough to go into the alders when you know there is a wounded bear in there, but I disagree with your statement. Not 99 percent, maybe 50 percent.
Do not know that I will ever be able to go on a hunt such as this. Time, distance and life have been good to me. But not without its toll. Anyone would be so fortunate to have either of you as a guide and teacher of God's great outdoors. May God bless you for offering your time and skills to make us all better.

You boys got balls of steel. Knowing he’s in there waiting for you and you can see about 10’.. that’s intense!!
It takes a special breed of man to go in the brush after a wounded Grizzly. Respect
I know why John wore the pack board was to help in case of getting mauled but I also believe he needed to carry his balls.

Billy, I hope you read this comment. Thank you for introducing us all to John. John’s story hits home on different levels and I think we are all blessed that he shared this with us. However, his comment that nobody would miss him ( I do realize what he was actually meaning because I have a daughter myself) really hit kind of hard. Please tell John his bravery and solidarity with you is commendable and inspiring. But most of all, he would absolutely be missed by more people than he’ll ever know. I believe he was put here intentionally by God to be a guardian for many daddy’s, uncles, brothers, sisters and moms that have loved ones back home praying for them to return safely. Please tell John that.
Billy’s the best guide on the planet , period . 👍
So sorry for your loss John……..What an absolute inspiring adventure. One of the very very few videos you just think about life, your life , and as I watched til the end , and ask yourself, am I doing what makes me happpy. I need to make some changes.! Thank you guys !!
Nice work gentleman. Balls of steel. Glad your safe.
Billy you definitely teamed up with a true solid guy in John this film was awesome ... Just goes to show experience is worth everything you live to shoot another bear and film more hunts .
This was a good one. That lil gal can place a shot. Grats!
Happy to watch and listen to another adventure. Thank you for sharing.❤️
Love these videos I've been waiting so patiently and I'm so thankful billy for you and the footage you give us God bless you and your whole crew.
Nerves of Steele boys!!! Congratulations!!!
What a stand up guy John is . Both him and billy are awesome men , but for John to say no man you have a wife and kids I’m takin lead . This is what a real man is , a real friend. Love it
The life expectancy of a pointman in Vietnam was 3 seconds, you guys were at that point. God bless you this day and always...
My first thought after watching this, is he reminded me of some Ranger special forces friends I had in military. That was an amazing video, wow. I want to do this now.
Glad to see you came out of this unscathed. To watch two men with so much experience in a situation like this is humbling. Billy, what better guy to have at your side in this situation than John. You both have my utmost respect and I pray you are both always safe in your profession. Thanks for sharing this.
Billy, this is one of your best video. Enjoy every seconds of it.
The Lord was watching over you all that day. But I have to say John is a hero. No it's, and, or buts. That he was willing to make that sacrifice for Billy says it all. 3 very brave men entered that thicket that day.
Billy what a great hunt with John. I was sitting on the edge of my chair during the brush entry.
I was praying for you and John as you stalked that Wounded Grizzly through the underbrush.
You two are amazing guides.
What a amazing stalk.
Thanks to both of you for this video.
Please stay safe out there on your other hunts for years to come.🙏🙏🙏
John Anderson Jr. is awesome man...wonderful video
Hat off to John. What a legend. Billy what a perfect showcase of the man John was. This story reminded me of the the song Brothers in Arms which my dad had playing every weekend and with tears running down my cheeks i salute you gentlemen.
lol...right
Then you did get after that bear in the really thigt area, you show the hunting with respect, love to that Billy! My the Lord walk by your side, step by step...from Peter Eriksson Sweden ❤
This video kept popping up on my suggestions so I finally said what the heck and boy am I glad I did!! What an awesome bunch of outfitters and a great watch, keep making great memories!!
God bless John
Thank you Billy
Awesome work
Men working together
John story is a fantastic thing to hear, your dad is watching and he is proud of you and what you’ve made of yourself. Thanks MDMM, for another great adventure in gods country. After watching the video, it’s a good story all around. I’m glad nobody was hurt or chewed up on this one. I’ve seen how dangerous a black bear can be, can only imagine one of these big brown boys. What a great hunt for father and daughter to remember their whole life. Wishing you and yours the best from me and mine. God bless 👍🇺🇸🎥🥇🥇🥇🙏🏻
1) big congrats to Maddie on her moose and grizzly. Very impressive. 2) that final stalk you and John did, WOW. Cojones and nerves of steel. That’s what experience does for you. Slow and steady wins the race. And luckily, nothing bad happened to either of you. Thank the Lord for that!! 3) I’ve heard other guides touch on this subject as well, and after hearing you two say it, I must ask…what does bear smell like that makes it so different from everything else?
I'll try to give you an idea but I know it wont answer your question completely. A bear that eats a lot of meat in general smells stronger than a bear that eats berries and grass or has a mix of both in its diet. A strong smelling animal is often a carnivore but not always. Deer and horses can have a distinct smell. I shot a very good size black bear years ago that smelled less than my dog when my dog was clean. I was very surprised. The smell comes from the body and breath. The strong smell is like a musk odor but different. It's a strong animal smell that you can pick in a zoo. In French the expression is "fauve" a lion smells fauve, so do many wild animals. It implies a strong, distinct tawny smell.
I will try and give you an idea of the odor than can come from an animal? I've participated and been around The kill be it bear, antelope, deer or elk and never really took notice of an odor except it smells like an animal. When you get in the vicinity of say an elk it will very often smell like a barnyard, antelope if they've been running will have a very strong sagee smell it greatly depends upon what the animal has been eating, however your question brings to mind a particular hunt about 50 years ago. My husband killed a bear, I was just there but never really touched the bear. On the way home we stopped at the Local Tavern, I went in and bought a six pack of beer. Standing there in line I noticed I ended up being the only one by the cash register even the people in front of me had moved 😲, I didn't understand what was happening until I ran into a friend outside and he commented on my odor, LOL. I guess that was a particularly rank bear only I didn't realize it but everybody else did🤣
Billy my wife and I live in Maine in the central north part. We set and watch your videos and love them all but this one with John was 1 of my favorites mainly because of the roll that John played and the man that he is he is definitely one of a kind and a true friend and a great Guide. Look forward to watching many more god bless you all .
That is the most gut wrenching video I have ever seen, NO WAY WOULD I BE BRAVE ENOUGH TOO DO THAT!;GOOD JOB!❤
Sitting here on 3rd shift welding and came across this video. Thanks for helping my night go by a little faster with this awesome video . Good job girl! 💪👊
Should have let Mattie tag along, she deserved the experience. NOTHING is like a charging brownie. I really liked his description of peace, I could not describe it, until I heard his description.
That dad and daughter have many lifelong memories I’m sure! That young lady placed every shot were she was told!
Great job young lady! Congrats to a great dad
Dam fine shootn! Proud Dad! 😃👍🏻awesome memories made.
couldnt have said any better Bob
@@HikeHuntHaul I would be interested in knowing the calibre of the girl's rifle.
I'm at 47:24 and you've got my attention! I've been on the edge of my seat from the get-go and that isn't easy to do.
Best documentary on a good guy. Thanks Mr Mills. From Apache country SC, Az.
You guys have guts man, I have tracked black bears and I know the feeling of that adrenaline. But to track a wounded grizzly or brown bear, no way in hell!
An unbelievably exciting record of an extremely dangerous recovery. As a frequent viewer of your video's this has to take the top suspenseful video spot
Glad everyone came out uninjured
Thanks for all you do.
