In this gripping hunting adventure, guest hunter Andy ventures into the rugged wilderness of the Northwest Territories in search of his first Dall sheep. Days of intense effort and patience finally pay off when Andy spots a ram worth pursuing. But heartbreak strikes when a missed shot reveals the shocking reason—his rifle barrel was bent by a horse… Determined not to give up, Andy returns with Randy’s rifle the next day. Against all odds, Andy redeems the hunt, harvesting a beautiful Dall ram and creating memories to last a lifetime.

Each episode just makes me more anxious for the next one. Great hunting in great country with great people.
Thanks Randy and Marcus, that was a great hunt and y'all did a great job capturing not only the scenery but the very essence of the hunt and camping experience. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Congratulations!
Another great video!!!!
A smidge high & left!

Excellent video.
Beautiful rams 🐏 on an awesome journey. Are you sure that Randy didn't bend that barrel after using the rifle 😅?
Andy really seems like he "gets it." I'm really glad he got one, certainly looks like he earned it. Good episode, well done.
Anyone say you look like Gary Sinise
Canada's God country North West Territory
There are lots of professionals showing up in this video and I applaud them. The scenery Marcus captured is incredible. "Amateur" Randy's video is subtle yet effective, and David's artistry using the raw product is easy to overlook. We never see David with a rifle so we tend not to see him like we do Marcus since he's never seen on camera, but David is the asset I notice when I watch and shed a tear with Andy. Thanks David. I notice.
Super video guys!! What a chain of events, CRAZY man. Congrats on a great ram, with having the misfortune the prior day had to have an impact on the confidence to squeeze the trigger again. The scenery, camp, horses, outdoor cooking and spotting so much game is pretty impressive to watch.
This is one of, if not the best, YouTube video series I've ever seen! I could feel the shock wave at the shot… Extraordinary footage, the effort to make this happen, the overwhelming feeling of success that you could see in there faces.. it's why we as families hunt together, every single person in that group, exactly at the moment, became one family. Take someone hunting before it's to late.
This is great, really great! The suspense you built up with your editing, the jaw-dropping B-roll, the failure of the first try. What a story, what a storytelling. Great job!
What an experience…thank you for sharing it with us. Never been that far north. But if the country is like other beautiful places Ive been it’s probably much more amazing than the cameras can capture (and your cameras captured a LOT).
The best video of the series so far. The Kuiu t-shirt is fitting and congratulations, you earned it.
Is Andy getting a new barrel for his rifle or is it cheaper buying a new one? Great job shows a lot of emotion.
Holy smokes!!!! What a video! I can only imagine the stories told at camp!!
What a hunt, to have a horse bend your rifle barrel, borrow Randy's gun and get such a great Ram. Congrats.
I saw the 7mm-08 on instagram and was wondering what happened! Good thing there's more than one rifle in camp hahaa
Andy, where I'm from, we would have the horse lay on the rifle the second time, only on the opposite side, to restraighten the barrel! 😁
But, I guess borrowing another rifle works too!
But seriously, that is some absolutely beautiful country and gorgeous ram! Great camera work to capture it!
Wow, that’s incredible! I never imagined your gun would bend from a horse lying on it. I get why it happened, but I never thought that scenario would occur. You handled it so well and didn’t let it ruin your hunt or experience. That’s awesome!
Well done chaps, great comeback, beautiful footage
Looking forward to the next episode of this dream! If there ever was a happy hunting ground this looks like the place.
Horses are liability, not the first time they fucked up a hunt.
This is all Crown land right Randy? I wanna camp!
That’s Hilarious About The rifle Lesson Here Don’t Let Your horse Realign Your barrel 😎🍻
How did the stoney oven workout?
I'm guessing the sheep roast didn't turn out? No video of the resulting meal!
Andy's emotions got me. Wasn't expecting it, but was glad you captured it. Great video.
Fellas, you've outdone yourselves. I mean, I cry easy, but I was still surprised when my tears fell with along with Andy's. I loved how you ended it, the silence, letting the place and the moment speak for itself. Well done.
Long time viewer of your show with a question – who foots the bill for these hunts? Is this hunt paid out of pocket by the hunter or the business or sponsors cover the hefty price tag?
So who takes the loss on the rifle? The hunter or the guide? Guides horse ruined it so if I’m curious if the outfitter gets the hunter a new rifle or is he just out an expensive rifle?
Nice
Remarkable resilience shown by Andy and what incredible camera work too. A really great series.
WAIT! He saw a 1,000 lb horse set down on his rifle and expected to still be able make a 400 yd shot without first checking zero on the hunt of a life time ? I bet he'll never make that assumption again! 😉
I’m glad the bent barrel didn’t banana peel like a cartoon when he shot it 😂
Congratulations to Andy. It was well earned, and he's super grateful, and very deserving.
