- This episode is dedicated to the life of one of Jasons closest friends and mentors, George A. Dieruf. George was a great man who was raised in Bozeman, MT where his father started the Powder Horn Sporting Goods store down on Main Street. Anyone who knew George knew how much hunting and being outdoors meant to him...
Thank you for sharing George's story/character. This film is what hunting is all about.
God's Blessings RIP you will be missed never forgotten 🙏
Fantastic film Jason. You are a true mentor for the rest of us, and you truly got it honest. God Speed.
0:10 what a great person to pay tribute to,i remember hunting with older hunters, this is a real tearjerker to watch this hard to watch without tearing up
I lost my dad in November 2014 after an unsuccessful deer hurt. We lived in Rupert Idaho. One night he stopped in his door way of his bedroom and said the one thing I never heard him say to me growing up. That sentence was I love you Shane. The next morning I woke up to find him dead on the floor. I still see him laying on the floor when I close my eye to sleep at night. I was taking care of him because of Heart attack. Now I'm without my best friend! Thank you for the memories. I haven't hunted sense. I really would love too.
Hey Jason,
I moved to BZN about 30 years ago. Met George and we instantly hit it off. We’d share stories, successes and failures of our hunts each year. If one of us drew a “good tag” we’d show pics and tell the stories. The year George passed my son drew a Desert Bighorn tag in AZ. I promptly told George when he drew. I never got to show him the pics of my son with his sheep. He passed that fall. As said, you did a great job on this tribute. Hard to watch and think about your pal, your own friends, your sons and mortality.
Life is short live hard! Thank you!
This why I always watch you sir.!! I'm getting older and if we draw tags this year it will be second time my son will be going elk hunting with me. He is in air force and 4 granddaughters.
Well done Jason! George was one of the good ones!
Clearly a “favorite” JM video! What a great tribute! 👍👍
Jason, wow. This was one of your best. Incredible moving personal story with a universal message. Bravo.
Got my heart strings 😢, thank you for the reminder.
Fantastic tribute Jason. Along with my Dad I also had a mentor like George in my life, named Denny. We had some awesome adventures! Dad and Denny are hunting every day in heaven now, but they are always with me in spirit. Going to Montana again this season!
Thank you, Jason, for sharing with us your tribute to a man of substance and quality, who sowed into your life. I felt the tears well up as I just last week lost the uncle who instilled into me that love of being in the woods in our little corner of the Ozarks, back in the 60's and 70's. Of hiking ridges after gobblers and watching a bait drift into eddies, filled with anticipation of what was lurking in that calm water. I have 2 wonderful sons-in-law who have never experienced that feeling of waking up in a tent on a brisk September morning, surrounded by vast miles of creation to be explored, and maybe, just maybe feel that bugle that rattles your soul in the dark timber. You're a talented storyteller Jason, and someday soon, 2 young men will get to see the world you were blessed to grow up in. Thank you
Great video and RIP George!
Thank you for this video. It’s wonderful to see a tribute to a older hunter. That was your mentor. It’s a tearjerker just to watch it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful tribute.
Beautiful tribute Jason
Super job and no doubt someone that I would have loved to have met. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Fantastic. Thanks for the share.
Great video. I enjoyed watching
As always, awesome video. Amazing tribute. It’s the memories like those in this video that we hold onto forever. That’s what it’s all about! Here’s to carrying on the legacy of giants in our lives and passing down the passion and burn for hunting to the next generation!
Didnt know the man but he sure reminds me of the ol timers in my life. Loved this video
Perfect!
Very cool! 😀
Good show
Tear jerker! Great episode as always! Life is to short, enjoy every moment and opportunity!
Thank you George for your example. Thank you Jason for your tribute. So hard to miss a life long friend forever.
What a beautiful tribute to a great man and mentor. May you always feel his presence on the hunt with you, prodding you the whole way.
Great tribute Jason! Well done!
Great story, great tribute! Well done!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful tribute. To George 🍻
Awesome tribute, yet tough to watch at the same time. To all those that have passed….till Valhalla, and we hunt again in Heaven. 🥃
A beautiful tribute Jason. You are a lucky man to have had him in your life. Rest in Peace George. What a fine bull, friendship and life.
A matzinger upload day is always a good day
Thank you Jason for the Tribute to a great Mentor and Hunter. I know he is missed.
Great tribute.thanks for sharing👍
Great tribute! I love your show what is the name of the song playing at 5min 25 seconds?
Thank you Jason for the tribute to George your friend and mentor,even if he is not physically with you he will still be by your side guiding you and enjoying what he loved . They never truly leave us as through our thoughts they still live . We never walk alone . Love light and peace 🕊️
As usual, your content and stories strike the heart perfectly. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Good people!
Great video and tribute glad you shared his story. Family and friends are everything
Thank you Jason for putting this together! Hell of a guy and you continue to show us the class of gentlemen they were with what they have instilled in you. You bring a perspective and a story to evey hunt and I just want to say thank you and thank you to George and your pops!
Pretty cool about the powder horn. I know times have changed downtown, but I will always miss the old powder horn. I still go back to that room whenever the gals want to browse the store. Only thing of interest in there for me. What a blessing to have 2 hunting fathers. I know because I had 2 myself and you’re so right….the cutting up on each other is definitely classic and something I’ll always miss but remember as I’m down to 1 hunting real dad but even his hunting days are over this spring. I guess losing them and US together in the woods and camp is the reason I prefer Solo now. It’ll be the same without them, so being alone allows me to carry on their legacies and what we all love. ❤
Funny about who is the better shot. My 2nd fathers nickname was “deadeye” on the CB back in the day. Yes, those conversations ring a bell and bring back some memorable hunts in Wyoming when I was kid
My condolences to you, your dad and George’s family. It’s a rough rode when you lose someone like him. Part of you is never the same. My dad lost his hunting and beer drinking bestie 23 yrs ago and my dad has never been the same and hunting camp either. Ill never forget dad (68) and I hunting DIY brown bear on the peninsula (Kenny was bound to a wheel chair at that point) and I had spotted a 10 ft class bear and decided to go after it 5 miles away and across the aniakchak river. We ferried ourselves across in a 1 man sevylor raft which was hair raising for my dad. We both reached the opposite bank, my dad just broke down and cried about his buddy not being able to be there with us. It was emotional few minutes worth sharing and I made sure to document that exact time in picture. Losing a guy like George and Kenny is a really tough thing. Thanks for sharing. Totally relatable. My condolences
You’ll never forget the things George said at key times on a hunt. You’ll never forget exactly where you were standing when he said something that stuck. I know this to be true because I’ll never forget exactly where I was standing at the age of 12 when I shot my first quail. Kenny was standing next to me and would of shot 2 or 3 of the covey but waited and waiting for me to shoot. I’ll never forget “I thought you were never going to shoot!”
Great tribute Jason. That was a moving tribute. Well done.
Howdy Jason. George must have been a very fine gentleman! You and your Dad were most fortunate to have had him in your life! Sometimes we have such a person that impacts our lives in a heart fully deep way. When that happens, we are all blessed. Thank you for sharing George with us! Later on Jason.....
The ending statement on this video is what hunting and time spent outdoors is all about. It’s not about the kill but about the memories that you get there! Thanks Jason for the video yet again.
What a great video. Beautiful. He seemed like a great guy. It’s awesome that the two of them killed that bull while you were pushing it to them. Like their good ole days
Great tribute to your friend, however skyline shot is not a good advertisment for our way of life.
