I can attest that the Frank is great. Well done capturing it. You wouldn't know it from going in during the November controlled hunt when they're on winter range but populations of deer and elk in the Frank are alarmingly low. Severe pressure in September (1000 hunters and 7 outfitters in unit 27 alone) and uncontrolled predator numbers pounding game during the winter have taken a toll. November fly in hunting got so crazy that fish and game capped nonresident tags at 10% of historic resident levels. Elk recruitment is well below replacement level at less than 20 calves per 100 elk. Biologists don't have collars on the animals back there and struggle to manage it due to the remoteness but freely admit numbers there are much lower than adjoining frontcountry units. This is part of the story that needs to be told.
I agree 100%. Its time for the hunters of Idaho to quit bitching and commit to removing as Wolfs as possible next year. It wont get better until we make it better
Yea, Hunting has become a way for an outdoorsman to make some big bucks. 1000 hunters means millions of dollars going into the state, and outfitters pockets. Unless animal populations are put 1st there will be no end to the diminishing numbers of deer. I think wolves, and people are thinning the herds. On the other hand over population can prove to be a bigger problem.
Kyle Grigsby is right on the money, it should also be note that in the summer the rafters number in the 100s weekly. This is a wilderness area that at times is lacking a wilderness feel. At times before the state limited the non residents during the November season, the airstrips are like little cities and it can be difficult to get away from others.
What a great video to watch. I was a young man when Frank Church was working on the wilderness bill. I remember only good things about it. I like it there and I’m to old to go back anymore. Your video brought back some great memories. I’m so glad to have lived in these times. Humans can video, and show the world what we have here in this country. You two are very brave young men to take on the Frank the way you did. I did read tons of comments on your video and I’m happy to live in a country with free speech. Life is to short to dwell on the negative things. You showed the freedoms we have here in so many ways. Thanks for hearing me out. Elkfearhim...
Patrick...all we can say is wow. Thank you so much for watching and for the thoughtful words. It is a special place for us, and it will be there long after we are gone for others to enjoy.
Welcome to the lifestyle of mixed emotions. You’re going to have the highest of highs and some frustrating lows. Whether you bag anything or not, it’s still a great experience and beats a great days of work. I wish you the best of luck my dude *EDIT* I realized this comments over 3 years old, hope you’ve had success hunts since you’ve commented
Am 75 now and 30 yrs airborne service destroyed both ankles so I can't go up high anymore ....unless it is with horses. I was proud to find you had a tent and a wood stove. If one of you got hurt and you could get him back to camp and the tent and stove were already up ....you would be very glad.....even if you both were sound but on the edge of hypothermia....you would still be glad....when you got to that tent and wood stove.
Burke Jones I couldn’t agree more! I watched that film and felt those feelings tugging at me just before that scene and when I realized he felt the same way about it as me it made this film that much more important to me. These places, these experiences and the peace they bring as we get away from the hustle and bustle of the city are the only thing that keeps me going. They are what I LIVE for!
Guys. ..At a loss for words to adequately express how I feel after watching this. The goals of yours- ambitious. The Fank history lesson- eye opening. The cinematography- awe-inspiring, unforgiving, unforgettable views, into the wilderness, and into the souls of appreciative, adventurous, courageous, hunters. This video inspires the desires within, to go & experience the Frank for myself, even though the carnage of cancer & Chemotherapy have , at least for the moment, thrown stifling blockages into the path of my 60 year old legs. I'm not saying no. My goal is to keeping fighting, one step at a time, as you did upon embarking on this extreme adventure. Parts of me say no, but my spirit, as yours, says go. Go & experience. "Thank you's" for videoing and sharing seem insufficient, but thank you both just the same. My goal & dream is for at least a sample sized experience, & to collect a mature old Muley buck, for my freezer, and for that same zeal & thrill that most of us true outdoorsman & hunters long to experience, no matter how few, or how many Fall seasons our hats & boots & daydreams have logged as we each forge our separate but similar paths toward the end of our blessed days. Thank you again. Definitely "worthwhile". -Well Done. 👍👊 -Donnie.
Appreciate the thoughtful comment. Can you send us an email with your contact information? Support@argalioutdoors.com. we'd like to send you a care package!
Men, what can I say? Wow! This should be submitted to the Sundance Festival! Not sure if that is possible but this is the BEST hunting video I have ever seen. I live in Pocatello and have been really enjoying my hunting experiences. Today when I discovered this video I have felt a sense of urgency and anxiety to make sure that I am LIVING. I have a great life and a wonderful family. I just think that there are more experiences that I can expose my family to that are right here in my backyard. Hunting is my favorite pass time. This video was inspiring. Please for the love of the Almighty keep making videos!
never been a 'hunter' ... but i have the respect for those who do ... for me it's the adventure and the 'vista's that draw me to the remote part's of this nation ....... what a 'thrill to be out there with no one but 'me' ....... respect and appreciate what the great "GOD" has given "HIS" creation .......
Incredible film. I also love the Frank. Haven't hunted there in years but you have renewed the passion with this film. There is a beautiful monument to Frank and his wife in Morris Hill Cemetery. Frank was a man passionate about Idaho and it's people.
Wonderful video, well done! You embody what hunting is about. It is so much about the experience, adventure, comradare, love and respect for the animal and wild nature. Hunting is so not about the kill, and you show that. Little do protestors and animal rights activists know, we (true hunters, not killers) actually both love and respect these animals as much as they do. I would almost go to say we actually love more because we have an much closer connection to these animals than others do. They are truly magnificent, and we (hunters) know that more than many others do!
That truly is one of the most awe inspiring hunting films I've ever watched I will hunt the Frank Church wilderness before I leave this life great film guys
Been there done that last time was 14 years ago. Ive taken a couple deer and a big bull elk from there. Well done video, great mix of capturing and blending what is so great about that wilderness. Most of all the respect for the area, the game, and the person behind it was awesome. Kudos to you guys and congrats.
Brad, Your raw emotions say it all about this magnificent place. This is by far my favorite video Argali has shared with us. Keep up the good work and know those whom walk in the Frank after you too will marvel in her splendor. My best brother, Ed Hunt Hard! The Ghillieman
Bradley and Charlie, Thank you so much for this film. This is the kind of experience I aspire to have in these types of wild places. Coincidentally I googled roadless wilderness a couple days ago and the Frank Church came up on a list of the top 10 roadless areas. I’m pretty sure this is a sign that I need to go there. Your love and respect for this place is so evident and came out clearly in this film and makes me wish I had been there with you for it. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
WOW!! What a beautiful place. I agree...a spiritual experience. I must admit I'm envious. I hate to think that I'll never be able to experience that place. Thankfully I can enjoy films like this. Hits home with me. Thanks guys and congratulations on a successful trip. Peace
I spent 5 fire seasons as the lookout at Middlefork Peak Fire Lookout that sits at the head of warm springs creek looking down at the middle fork of the salmon. I did 4 season on the crew of Indianola helitack down stream from Northfork ID. I worked some fires in the Frank. I love that country.
Unbelievable experience and film! I was fortunate enough to be in the Frank on an Elk hunt and watching this film really helped to capture to the true untamed beauty of the amazing wilderness area! Congrats on a successful hunt rich in both memories and harvest!
What a beautiful video! Keep taking us to those amazing places most people can’t reach. Thank you guys! This is a great soul feeling video. Definitely a 👍🏻
Amazing video guys! And it is absolutely NOT stupid to cry over wilderness. In fact it makes perfect sense. Wilderness is how the human race connects to the Divine. It’s only natural to shed tears of joy when you’re out Ian God’s Country!
I am 47 years old I watch a lot of hunting videos for educational and enjoyment purposes. You guys are very hardcore. What I would not give to be a few years younger to be able to handle the train that I just watched you guys go through. I still archery elk hunt and rifle hunt with my kids, but that which you guys just did in the backcountry is hard to explain in words how exciting and going back to the roots of man who hunt for food, I'm lost in words great film great video ography. Thank
That's a really great film! Definitely hope for an equivalent adventure in the years to come and appreciate the inspiration to fight for wild places to remain.
I just came across your channel today so a new subscriber here . My sons and I did Colorado otc last year for the first time they gave me that for my Christmas gift because of my health, and that’s why I’m off work this week it just makes no sense why the medical and dental care and pharmacy companies can control a patient life since coronavirus. That’s a place I’m hoping to take my sons and hunt and also the Yellowstone area because it has family history to me and fill some tags because here in Missouri it’s whitetail and turkeys and my gosh do they want us to fill so many tags here CWD. But the mountains grab us last year and now I don’t want to give that view up 👍✌🏻🇺🇸
Great job at capturing all of the intricacies of a hunt which go well beyond just harvesting an animal. There's alot of media centered around preserving public land right now, but your film really drives that message home. Keep broadcasting it.
Thank You for putting such an awesome video up, being from coastal N.C. I have never heard the Frank, now I want to go with my boys. Such passion for the wilderness and its creatures, makes this one special. Anthony
Really beautifully done! What an amazing place the Frank Church is! It's on my bucket list as one of the places I'd like to hunt a big game animal in. Thank you for sharing this fantastic hunt!
God bless both of you guys I mean you know this country has a lot to show for and I'm happy to be here and I'm show my feelings for you keep up the good work there's always good people like us that keep hunting and fishing and showing others what what's all about America Sony what you can do
I hunted the Frank twice for bighorn sheep once in 1982 then again in 1985 but never found a shooter ram either time. I flew in from Stanley to Harras Middle Fork Lodge. The thing I remember most is how big the area is and how steep the mountains are. One morning while hiking from camp up a ridge a spike elk stood twenty yards from the trail and just watched me hike past, he wasn't to concerned at all. It was an early hint in September and the rams were still high on the ridges and hadn't come down yet but I did see quite a few female's and lam's.
Bradley and Charlie ...Jason, BK, Conrad and anyone else that had a hand in making this spectacular film, Thank you! I am most certain that Mr. Church is proudly looking down upon all of you. #firmhandshakes
Awesome video. I worked as a rafting guide on the Middle Fork for several years and flew in that same plane, with the same pilot, numerous times. We flew from Stanley to Indian Creek at low flows. I'm an avid archery elk and mule deer hunter, it's great to see you going after mule deer during the rut in that area, that's the only time I hunt them.
Idahome! Grew up and still live in central Idaho. The Frank is as unrelenting rugged as it is beautiful. Spent weeks hunting and working fire in the wilderness. We would ware the sides of our boots out before the bottoms in this terrain. Flatland fire fighters call us the goats of central Idaho. Spend a good amount of time in the Frank and you would forget what everyday sounds of man sounded like. A piece of country lost in time. Good job capturing the essence of this awesome area. Get out there and see it ladies and gentlemen, protect it for our future generations to see and enjoy.
Very informative and superb production. I'll never get to do this trip, but its great just knowing that its there and can be enjoyed by generations to come. Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome segment. I don’t normally comment on videos but you guys nailed this. Awesome job! Having grown up in Idaho and enjoyed its outdoors, I take this to heart on how amazing our state is.
This hands down is one of my favorite hunting videos I’ve seen. What you showed and explained is what it’s all about. Thank your for this master piece. You guys at Argali are fucking awesome!
3rd time watching this film, loved it every time! We hunted near here last year, truly is an amazing place. Thanks for taking the time to put this together in a way for not only hunters to enjoy but outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds👏🏼👏🏼

Shane Cody didnt the reintroduction of wolves allow yellowstone to flourish almost a little while back??
Thanks for sharing. Your experience brought back some memories from fighting fires in the Frank. What made this worthy is the friendship journey.
Appreciate ya watching and glad you enjoyed it.

I've hunted the church every year for 25 years now. My favorite place on the planet. Great video!
The greatest area in the best state in America. Thanks for this video.
This film is exactly why I got into hunting. You guys captured the entire experience perfectly. Thank you for sharing this.
Welcome to the lifestyle of mixed emotions. You’re going to have the highest of highs and some frustrating lows. Whether you bag anything or not, it’s still a great experience and beats a great days of work. I wish you the best of luck my dude
*EDIT*
I realized this comments over 3 years old, hope you’ve had success hunts since you’ve commented
Floated the Middle fork in my twenties. One of the wildest places I’ve ever been. Indescribably beautiful.
It's a special place
Am 75 now and 30 yrs airborne service destroyed both ankles so I can't go up high anymore ....unless it is with horses. I was proud to find you had a tent and a wood stove. If one of you got hurt and you could get him back to camp and the tent and stove were already up ....you would be very glad.....even if you both were sound but on the edge of hypothermia....you would still be glad....when you got to that tent and wood stove.
Yeah those stoves are game changers in the wilderness
Packed, rafted, hiked and hunted the Salmon wilderness for decades…. Great place for sure. Gorgeous country.
It's a gem for sure
One of the best outdoor clips I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I’m in awe of the scenery
Appreciate that
It is not stupid to get emotional about wilderness. Great film!!

Appreciate that and agree
I'm not a hunter, but respect them. Takes guts and fire inside to do what they do. Great video. Inspiring.
Scotty, appreciate the note and thank you for watching.
Absolutely awesome film guys, It really captures the wilderness experience and is topped off with two great bucks, that's what it is all about.

Okay... I somehow just ran across Argali's hunting films and they are incredible. Easily up there with the best in the industry. Great work gents!
thank you!
That truly is one of the most awe inspiring hunting films I've ever watched I will hunt the Frank Church wilderness before I leave this life great film guys
High praise! Thank you Kyle.
Excellent film, that’s a great mix of type two fun, plus fly fishing 🎣
I love the sawtooth wilderness and Stanley Idaho. I need to check out the frank church wilderness
Great video really enjoyed the scenery and narrative…… very special place thank goodness for people like Frank Church
Couldn't agree more

It’s always great to be with you and your aventures. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow incredible video !!!!! What an adventure 👍👍
From someone who hunts in Arizona, that looks cold as hell 😂 awesome film! Well done boys 👍🏼
haha, it was cold by most anyone's standards.
Great hunt and beautiful country. Up there with a Rinella video. I like your honesty and candor in the pains and worries in your journey.
Thanks Kelly
What a powerful film. Well, made and truly impactful.

Great film, really enjoyed it.
What a beautiful video! Keep taking us to those amazing places most people can’t reach. Thank you guys! This is a great soul feeling video. Definitely a 👍🏻
Appreciate that!
Just finished and all I can say is wow! Tremendous film!
Thanks Ryan!
Unbelievable, captivating video. I throughly enjoyed it. Well done !!
As good as it gets, haven’t seen a hunt video like this. Soo good! I hunted elk near this place 2 years ago, truly a spiritual experience.
Thanks Blake!
Easily one of my favorite videos on RUclips. Keep putting them out guys.
Thanks Brian!
Great story and gorgeous country. Thank you to all involved in documenting your adventure and sharing it.
We appreciate you watching!
Awesome video! I was lucky enough to raft the middle fork DIY with a great group of friends. Watching this video brought back a lot of great memories.
Awesome!
Still one of the best videos on RUclips!
Love hearing that!
You guys did an amazing job capturing the essence of what pulls us to hunt wild places!
That's what we were hoping for so thank you!
Really enjoyed the film. The way the outdoors and the adventure within were expressed perfectly! Well done and congrats!
Amazing video guys! And it is absolutely NOT stupid to cry over wilderness. In fact it makes perfect sense. Wilderness is how the human race connects to the Divine. It’s only natural to shed tears of joy when you’re out Ian God’s Country!
Appreciate that...hard not to get emotional about the things we love
that was awesome. I will go someday and experience the Church.
Beautiful, rugged and full of adventure; a perfect combination. 😊
Thanks for watching!
I am 47 years old I watch a lot of hunting videos for educational and enjoyment purposes. You guys are very hardcore.

Thanks Torey! It was a lot of fun to film and experience. Appreciate the kind words.
Excellent film, thanks! It is NOT stupid to get emotional over wilderness. If you didn't, I would be disappointed.
Those who know the power of big wild country, know what it can do to a person. Thank you for the comment!
That's a really great film! Definitely hope for an equivalent adventure in the years to come and appreciate the inspiration to fight for wild places to remain.
Thanks, Matt.
Simply amazing!! You captured our why for wild places.

thanks for watching!
Great job at capturing all of the intricacies of a hunt which go well beyond just harvesting an animal. There's alot of media centered around preserving public land right now, but your film really drives that message home. Keep broadcasting it.
Really appreciate that. We wanted this to be more than just a hunting film.
Beautiful, beautiful video.
Thank you very much!
Thank You for putting such an awesome video up, being from coastal N.C. I have never heard the Frank, now I want to go with my boys. Such passion for the wilderness and its creatures, makes this one special. Anthony
Thanks Anthony...glad you enjoyed it.
Absolutely superb video! Thanks so much, all for making it!
Thank you for watching!
FANTASTIC, lot of work and fun. Thanks guys.
Awesome footage! 2 buddies and myself just came out of there after a 7 day hunt. There isn’t too many places as rugged as the frank.
This is what adventures are made of! Great video!
Thanks Thomas!
Great film
Thanks for watching!
Really beautifully done! What an amazing place the Frank Church is! It's on my bucket list as one of the places I'd like to hunt a big game animal in. Thank you for sharing this fantastic hunt!
Thanks Clint!
Love that there is this block of land preserved #keepitpublic
We couldn't agree more. It's a pretty special place.
This was well done. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic video!
God bless both of you guys I mean you know this country has a lot to show for and I'm happy to be here and I'm show my feelings for you keep up the good work there's always good people like us that keep hunting and fishing and showing others what what's all about America Sony what you can do
Been there did that! Big Creek, to Soldiers Bar, four days!
Awesome!
Awesome video guys!! That is the essence of Idaho right there!
Thanks, Jordan!

Frank Church was a great man and leader. Thanks for watching, Brian!
Awesome video. I worked as a rafting guide on the Middle Fork for several years and flew in that same plane, with the same pilot, numerous times. We flew from Stanley to
Indian Creek at low flows. I'm an avid archery elk and mule deer hunter, it's great to see you going after mule deer during the rut in that area, that's the only time I hunt them.
George is an incredible pilot. That guy knows that place like the back of his hand.
@@Argali Probably the best pilot in the backcountry business for that style of plane.
One of the best short hunting films I’ve watched to date! Your camera man nailed it as well. Keep the videos coming and thanks for the great content
Thans Ian!
Beautiful film! Well done!
Appreciate you watching.
Idahome! Grew up and still live in central Idaho. The Frank is as unrelenting rugged as it is beautiful. Spent weeks hunting and working fire in the wilderness. We would ware the sides of our boots out before the bottoms in this terrain. Flatland fire fighters call us the goats of central Idaho. Spend a good amount of time in the Frank and you would forget what everyday sounds of man sounded like. A piece of country lost in time. Good job capturing the essence of this awesome area. Get out there and see it ladies and gentlemen, protect it for our future generations to see and enjoy.
That’s good stuff guys!
