Spirit Of A Sheep Hunter, Alaska Brooks Range Dall Sheep Hunt
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2019
- For Alaskan guide, Billy Molls, this was one of more than 40 Alaska Dall sheep hunts. For his client, Mike Rhoades, this was his first. The adventure they shared whittled them down to the core of their beings. Mentally defeated and physically exhausted, both men faced dark hours. They dug into their spirit, clung to what little faith they could find, and forged ahead. This is their story.

WOW. this is the best hunt ive ever seen. the pay off was amazing. you brought the emotion and feels into my living room like a academy award winning director. amazing cinematography
Thanks for your encouraging words to keep me moving forward. This is definitely one of the best comments I have received!
By your glory to God, this video encourages me to schedule a hunt with you Billy. Good job on the video. Stay safe Sir.
Being in the wilderness is being born again, especially when your hunt involves God! Brought tears to my eyes...
Truly one of the most epic and emotional things I have ever seen, you truly are an inspiration both of you. Billy and Mike go well, you are both incredible people.
This is by far the greatest hunting video I've ever seen and will ever see great Job my brothers in CHRIST. LOVE YOU BOTH.
Wow! I really appreciate that! God Bless.
Й
this is one of the best most inspiring hunts I have ever seen on you tube what a great story
Wow what a great film. Its so awesome how the Lord shows up in hard hunts and connects with you when all other distractions are out of the way. Thank you for making this video and giving Him the glory.
Dude! The lighter trick was absolute gangster! Gonna have to add that to my bag of tricks.
(Edit)
Think about this; The ram was born 10 1/2 years ago... right about the same time Mike's passion for sheep hunting was born. This ram was put here for Mike. Amazing hunt guys! Much respect.
I live in Alaska now. I really need to try for a sheep. This has got to be the best hunting video I have ever seen. Praise God. Good job Billy.
Truly humbled by your stepping out in faith. I completely understand what you mean when you say you see creation completely different once you are born again. Looking forward to more hunts in the future. Lord bless you.
Billy thank you ! Im 54 years old and just booked my first elk hunt. It's something I've dreamed about most of my adult life. Thanks to you im going to push myself to live my dream!
Best of luck, and keep after it!
What a truly inspirational video! Can’t remember the last time I watched an entire hunting video. The video & Hunt were outstanding! Thanks for sharing your relationship with the lord. Cheers!
Thank you. I appreciate your comment.
I leave in 4 days to guide a dall sheep hunt. You guys captured what sheep hunting is with an accuracy I've never seen before. I never watch videos over about 10 minutes and usually skip ahead in those. I watched and enjoyed every minute and got choked up right along with you.
I'm with you, long-form hunting videos have so much b.s.-type filler, I'll forward them. Love Billy's videos. Great content.
Appreciate it! Your comment is very encouraging.
The best sheep hunting video I’ve ever seen! The ram was the bonus, the stories from both of you was what kept me watching. Everyone has a why and there was some major soul searching in this video. Thank you both for sharing your stories and letting us be there with you on this hunt! Congrats on a very well deserved gorgeous ram that you both dug deep to get!!
Absolutely amazing video. You have helped with my faith in this upcoming sheep season. I've been at it for 7 years or so with boots hard to the ground for the last 3. I've done 14 day solo trips for stones and have yet to connect. I Saw 185 sheep last year, 42 rams and none legal. After 10 days of forest fire smoke, rain and snow, popping my thermarest.. sleeping on rocks and snow, my spirit broke. One of my best friends convinced me to keep at it. This year work has only allowed me to get into the sheep mountains for 7 days. With new gear and determination I cant wait to hike the basins and fulfill my dreams and satisfy something so deeply engrained in who I am. Thank you for this video and I hope their are more to come.
You have it in you Keith. It’s a solo trip in your soul as much as it is in the mountains. God is with you every step talking to you. Just listen and talk to him. He will present that ram.
Love how you brought the Lord into it. Great video, very inspirational and truly showed the spirit of sheep hunting and what it’s all about. Great video and job!
Thank you, Ryan for the review and encouragement.
What a magnificent hunt and story. Well done. I was so uplifted when, near the end of the video I found that you were a fellow born again brother in Christ. He is all that's really important. What a joy to know that a fellow brother is also a very accomplished sheep guide. The very best of both world. May the Lord richly bless and keep you and your precious family.
Thank You. May God bless you and your family as well.
This was one of the most moving films I have seen. "What really matters in life is found in the pursuit".
Great story, well presented--I had to wipe away a couple tears when Mike placed the satellite phone call.
Besides what we witness in the video, kudos to Mike for his prehunt preparation--says a lot about a person's dedication that they manage to shed 75 pounds in the flatland!
I just wanted to say, this film is one of the most influential things I've seen in my adult life. It came at the right time, with the right message. Thank you Billy. I very rarely hit that like button.. but every one of your videos I've watched, I've hit that button. keep fighting the good fight and stay safe!
Thanks for your inspiring words.
Loved the ending! Thanks for sharing your faith and the film. I have an upcoming elk hunt and for me the mental aspect is always the hardest. Seeing a fellow brother in Christ share their life is awesome.
What a great video and testimony of your faith. I am heading out on my first sheep hunt here in Alaska and this gives me more motivation than ever.
How'd the hunt go Itgall?
Now!!!!!!!! That's what i'm talking about. Truly inspirational.
MIke , super shot -the toughest to make is the second shot after a miss. That is some kind of pressure. You dad will be so tickled bro!
Billy, best hunting show I've ever watched! Thank you for being courageous with your Faith!
I took my last Dall sheep just as I was moving away from Alaska in 1977, but to this day I can still smell the fresh air, imagine the feel of the rocks under my boots, and the burning in my legs. I watched every moment of your video; you really told it like it is, or was, for me. Such a blessing to have the opportunity to share in your adventure and to be encouraged by your faith. Life doesn't always turn out like we think it will, but through it all we can have a comforting hand to hold, if we will just grasp it. Thank you for the best hunting video that I've ever seen and a real special thank you for sharing your faith. May the Lord wrap His arm around your shoulder and walk with you throughout your life. You encourage me.
Excellent movie! Thank you for sharing your Christian faith. I know it’s not an easy thing to confess in today’s society.
It’s not easy because it’s immoral.
Best hunting video I've ever seen! Real.
Absolutely epic! The real footage straight from the hunt that reveals the challenge, the pain, the anguish, individual uncertainty, deep reflection, fresh resolve ... and is not over produced. Again truly epic hunt and film! Congrats to both of you! I’ll be sharing and watching again.
Thank you.
Outstanding video Billy. I've seen most of your videos and this is one of your best. Thank-you for sharing it and telling this story.
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing story Billy. Brought a couple tears at the end. This hunt is on my bucket list hopefully I can make it happen. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great content, & the way the adventure is filmed, & the way the story is told is outstanding. Great message.
The first hunt video I 've watched, and I actuall was holding my breath while waiting for Mike to make that shot. Great video.
I have watched this video 3 or 4 times and everytime I get something else out of it. Thanks Billy!
What an emotional rollercoaster of a truly awesome hunt. After all the years of Billy's experience it is nice too hear the excited pulse in his voice as he tries to calm himself and the shooter. Big thumbs up!
Great video. I appreciate how you are true to your beliefs.
Absolutely the best video I've ever seen! Congratulations!! I was doing ok until he called his dad then my eyes watered up bad!!
Billy, thanks for having the courage and faith to share your beliefs! You will never know how many lives you have changed for the better. I now have a dream to hunt sheep in the Brooks with Billy Molls, not only because of the hunting adventure but because he is someone that shares Christian values with all who will listen. Good on ya Billy!
Not the best harvest, not the best shooting, but by far the very best story and adventure I've ever seen or heard involving hunting. Fantastic and once again I thank you for sharing it with us. Truly inspirational.
My God Billy what have I missed? I'm 68 , 6 back ops and COPD it might be too late for me but I say to others just do it. I love seeing it. Thank you Sir.
Boy, this one is over the top Billy ! You and Mike persevered and came out on top. You kept going when most others would have given in. What a great video and testimony !
Absolutely loved the video I also was holding my breath for the shot God is good
I have watched a ton of your videos and this one has touched me in many ways. I wont bore you with the details, but i do think a "thank you'' is in order. Billy......you are an incredible human. I wish the world was full of more billy's. Thank you for sharing this with us all. Congrats Mike on the perseverance. That was exactly what commitment is all about. Well done and even moreso, well deserved ram.
Well done Mr. Molls, may God keep you and protect you, and may your life be full of Gods Blessings. Phil. 4:13(NKJ)
Man what an awesome show this one was. This wasn't about getting a sheep. This hunt was about life and not giving up. What an awesome video this one was
Exactly, well said!
I'm not a guide but if I was Mike would be my ideal client, someone who prepped hard and wanted to be there- you could tell this was a literal dream come true not just another expedition to complete his trophy room. He handled himself under pressure big time too on that follow up shot (he also called the first berm shot lol). If you're reading this Mike- good job on the hard work, it all payed off with a well-deserved ram!
Great Video and amazing hunt!! I love how authentic you were about how God provided the ram. Like you I had a similar experience when God spoke to me promising me a 60" moose if I would read the Old testament. I had grown up Christian but was in a very broken season trapped in bitterness, lust and anger. Somehow in the midst of reading the bible God drew me back to Christ and delivered me of the brokenness I was in. That fall 11 months later I shot a 63" moose on an amazing hunt, even knowing the day and rough location where we would shoot it. It was truly epic!
Since then I have felt to share the things God has done in my life but have often struggled with fear of what others would think of me.
I loved how you overcame this mountain stepping out to share your faith and telling how He had provided the ram. You conquered the mountain of fear of what others think of you and God reward you with an amazing hunt that you will always remember.
I have identified this mountain in my life and I am in the journey of overcoming it and the fear of what others think of me and your video was a great encouragement.
Thank you for the amazing video and being bold. Your testimony was truly amazing and very encouraging!
Happy hunting and God bless!
I don’t know how your channel does not have more subscribers and how this video does not have more views, this was such an inspirational adventure. God Bless
You guys earned that one ! “Ask and ye shall receive.”
Probably the best hunting video I have ever watched. Incredibly inspirational.
This video is great, shaking don't matter with that much emotion guys. You've made every hunter that watched this so proud. Never seen anyone work so hard for a Ram. That resolve when you haven't seen anything legal and to find a place for payday and making it happen with the Lord at your six. God bless. Blessed be the name of the Lord and those who follow.
Thank you, you gave this old man a trip my brother and I dreamed about. The Vietnam war took my brother and I just grew old dreaming. Wonderful video, again Thank you
Great Flim. One of the more Raw films on You tube. Brought back many of my personal experiences. Sheep hunting is my greatest passion and you guys showed exactly why it is!
Billy, this is a very encouraging story! I truly appreciate your devotion to using the gifts and passion God gave you to further his kingdom on the earth!
Bless you Billy Molls for your wonderful story it truly was heartfelt I just can't stop watching your incredible videos.
You’re a good man and you’re on the right path! I’m a 75-year-old widow living in Idaho, and I’m so hooked on your videos and you! You’re an amazing man.
This hunt touched my heart in ways i could never explain. Thank you fordoing all you do. God Bless !!
Great video! Plus I got to see my old buddy "Big Dog" doing some flying in there. You did an outstanding job of getting Mike a great Ram and documenting the hunt and your faith intertwined. Two thumbs up for sure!
God bless the mountain man. There is no way I’d be tough enough to do this for a living.

Beyond legit!!! Thank you! Huge congratulations to Mike and to you Billy. Well done.
Amen Billy -- Thanks so much for sharing!! Glory to God and His only Son Jesus! I'm sure your family has the spiritual "guide" it needs -- Jesus working through you!
This was the most inspirational video I've ever watched.......and I'm 60 years old. Thank you Billy for recording such an adventure and expressing your faith. I will never hunt the white sheep but thanks to you I can dream........
Ive watched dozens of your videos and None have made me want to hunt Alaska more than this Video!
Amen!!! I love your enthusiasm!! Man you never gave up. You pushed your client to never give up... I loved this video from the beginning to the end... Man this is what Hunting is about.
Without a doubt this is the most inspirational and emotional hunting video that I’ve watched in all of my 73 years. Thank you Billy Molls and Mike Rhoades.
i started out kinda down on this narrative. but man am i glad i saw it through. the biblical, life lessons that the narrator speaks of, cannot be avoided by the penitent. Loved this first person story and the lessons/rewards it offers!
I can’t believe it took three years for me to stumble across this video Billy. I’ve watched your DVDs and videos for a while, but this one is by far the best hunt I’ve ever watch, not only from you, but from any hunter. God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your experiences in hunting, life, and in your Faith.
It may sound crazy that God would lead you to a RUclips video, however, your message at the end of this video is 100% exactly what I needed to hear. I am a father of 4 girls, I am a believer, and I am a hunter. I always find it hard to share my faith in God with others, and I want to live as close to Christ as possible for my daughters to witness..... I’ve only ever hunted whitetails but I have had this insatiable hunger for something more. I’ve never been further west than Missouri, and I have a very tight budget. This year, I am hoping to draw a pronghorn doe tag in Wyoming, but sheep is where my dreams are at now. I will get there. I will get to the unlimited zone in Montana. I will get to the Brooks Range. Although, I do not know how this will happen. God will lead me there. Thank you for an amazing video!
The hunt was good but your delivery was fabulous! Do what you have been called to do ,the way you were called to do it. Blessings!!!!!! Jim
@Billy Molls Adventures you need to release some more content for us back here in south Africa to live the hunts through this great media
If you don't have faith or this doesn't put tears in your eyes you're not human. God Bless both of you for an amazing hunt and sharing this
This hunt was amazing!!! Wow, Mike, We saw the moment where you became one with your spirit. You are an amazing man. I hope I find that connection someday. God bless
Wonderful video of two great men coming from two different places and working hard for a common goal. Thank you for the effort and willingness to capture this on film and share with the hunting world via RUclips. Truly inspirational!
I have watched 100s of videos of sheep hunting and this might be the best one I have ever seen. Some day I will do this!! its been a dream of mine for a long time now!! Great video!!
I love this video. It captures the effort and emotion in a Dall Sheep hunt in Alaska. I did two hunts in the Alaska Range with my longbow, and ended up using a take-down rifle to kill my sheep on day 19. Only big game animal I have killed with a rifle. I am sharing this video with my sheep hunting buddy, as well as family and friends. This truly is what a sheep hunt is like. Well done , Billy.
Billy.. As a fellow hunter and brother in Christ... This is an amazing video. Thanks for sharing your experience and faith! Absolutely loved it. Look forward to more. May God bless you and your family! Keep sharing your faith.
I have listened to your “Trust the Guide” story about this hunt. To watch the whole hunt transpire was nothing less than incredible.
The absolute BEST hunting video/movie I've ever seen. I went through every emotion with you guys including crying when Billy was reading the Bible and explaining his faith and when the Ram was shot. Totally inspirational! AWESOME!!!!!!
I just got to watch Mike get him Ram , wow if anyone ever deserved a Ram it was him. I have been fortunate enough to know the feeling and meaning of such a hunt. Congratulations and I'm so happy that he was successful. Billy your the best !
What a WONDERFUL young man you are Billy. Incredible hunting video and amazing words of love for all mankind. God bless you!!!
my eyes teared up on the 2nd shot .. great way to finish your dream ...
Watched it again tonight. This has to be the most rewarding video you have made. I am really happy for Mike !
Amen, what a video and what a message. It really spoke to me. Thank you!!!
Your video moved me in such a huge way brother. Thank you so very much sharing your faith you are a great Fisher of man a true disciple. Tears flow like a waterfall in GODS country.
What an emotional journey. Great job on the guide and mikes part.
One of the most powerful and inspirational videos iv ever seen.
This film brings back so many memories of sheep hunts, weather, the trouble with bears, and the immersive quality of life in pursuit of Dall sheep. You have done a wonderful job.
Marvellous, mind-opening and inspiring. Thanks you !!!
Beautifully written and narrated… Thank you for sharing your faith in the context of God’s beautiful nature!
Been a hunter/outdoorsman for many years, never had the money or time to invest in a hunt such as the one’s you guide Billy. Now with the kids grown, and money available, my knees, back, and disability say no. But seeing how God has worked in your life, given you a platform in which to share, I stand in humble adoration and awe of your hunts. I pause at this moment, 1:02:22, and tear up in relief and joy just as y’all did. What an amazing hunt so far. God Bless both of you, and your families. May God continue to reach more through these videos. The Ram looked huge. 🙏🏼
Direct reflection on my experience guiding here in Maine the past 20+ years. It's all relative. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you are tapped on the shoulder, and reminded that it's not up to us. Not sure if you read these still or not, but at 50 i realize i am here to not only learn, but to help others. Maybe we all are. You put it into words better than a lazy Mainer. Thanks, maybe we'll overlap someday Billy. Dan Wagner
I am deeply moved. Thank you for sharing your adventure and your faith
Wow! i don’t know what to say. Great story documenting the hunt rather than just the kill as well as the internal battle that all hunters face at times. The time taken to shoot so much quality video and capture quality audio while undertaking the daunting task of hunting in this environment is amazing! The work to edit the footage and showcase this experience is an accomplishment! Your profession of faith in Jesus Christ and your testimony shared through this is inspirational. Well done!
You just got a new subscriber Christman.Keep sharing your faith,it adds so much to your hunt.
The things Billie talks about go way past hunting, but it's about life itself
MAD RESPECT!!!!! I feel so honoured to have followed your journey and wish I could shake your hands and tell you all how much respect I have for you all. REAL MEN LIKE YOU ALL ARE A DYING BREED
I have spent a lot of time hunting sheep in Alaska, with success and failure. This is the best video showing how you have to keep your faith through all the struggles! Thank you
This is my 6th time watching this film. Every time I feel my motivation slipping I watch this hunt and it charges me right up. Thanks, Billy.
(I wish we could get a follow up interview with Mike and Billy reflecting on this trip and see how Mike's been doing since.)
Nice sheep. Hard work. Great guide.
Ok, now for the bad news ~ Stone sheep, Rocky Mountain Bighorn, and Desert Sheep.
Congratulations. You earned it.
This is by far the best channel on you tube !
This one made me cry with tears of joy for Mike. Good Gravy!! What an amazing ending :)
This video is all the best of hunters and hunting. Absolutely fantastic, Billy!
Great story Man! The Spirit of a sheep hunter lives on and on forever.
