Editorial Reviews

Review

'I was stunned by the breath-taking scenery and his ethical stance on hunting. Buck's river adventure instilled a sense of thought, amazement, and pure delight that lasted three days.' --Larry Bartlett, Author of 'Caribou Hunting in Alaska' and 'Float Hunting Alaska'


Review

'I thought the tape really captured some of the things that make Alaska unique, without sugar-coating the experience. You see the rain, hear the wind, feel the wet snow blowing against your cheek.' --Mike Strahan, author of 'Float Hunting Alaska's Wild Rivers'

5.0 out of 5 stars Alaska Hunting Adventure 700 Miles Alone, June 13, 2005
Very nicely put together video. In our world today of big corporate studios making todays hunting videos, this video shows that you can just document the beauty of the landscape without having to show huge racked animals being harvested in order to get the results of a great hunting video. My grandfather always told me that 90% of hunting was enjoying and respecting the beauty of the landscape. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Great video and a very respectable man that sends it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most Captivating Alaskan Adventure ever!, February 22, 2004
By Scott (Fairbanks, Alaska) - See all my reviews
I have lived in Alaska several years and I can say with out a doubt, this video captures Alaska's beauty from start to finish. It takes a look at the remoteness Alaska has to offer; from contract bush plane operations, very very remote Dall Sheep adventures, moose and caribou trekking, the rigors and triumphs of remote river rafting to the ultimate harvesting of big game animals, this video has it all.

I rate this video an easy 5 star rating. Scotty.

5.0 out of 5 stars No "Hollywood," No "BS," No Kidding, June 8, 2007
By MXS (California) - See all my reviews
This video captures the hunt, and almost everything that goes with it, directly from the hunter's eye. There is no hype, political or environmental propaganda, no "Hollywood" narration, no "spin" of any kind and no ulterior motives.

The videographer travels hundreds of miles by foot and raft in remote North Eastern Alaska, a wild, isolated, game-rich area held in deep reverence by experienced bush residents, hunters, trappers and dreamers.

Views of of wolves, wolverines, grizzlies, sheep, moose and caribou are personal, if not always "up close."

Indeed, the best part of this video is that you see things the way you would if you were an isolated, solitary hunter in the area today, or thousands of years ago.

It's also enough to make you think that you could put together a trip like this yourself; that if you were in good physical condition, could exercise common sense (essential for solitary wilderness travel!), and if you had sufficient experience and equipment that you could hunt this country in this way.

The single complaint I have about this video is that you never see "the moment of truth." Not once do you hear the crack of Buck's hunting rifle, which looks like the venerable "get-it-done" .30-06.

I'd also have liked more shots of camp. I've spent lots of time in the outdoors and one of the best parts is setting up camp, relaxing around a camp fire and then crawling into a warm sleeping bag and falling asleep to the sound running water, wind and wild animals. There are a few shots of camp, the campfire and the tent but not many. Of course, that sort of thing can be boring to some people.

I'm going to venture that many of us are cut from the same mold as Buck, and that--whether we realize it or not--in one incarnation or another we were hunters, that hunting is woven into the double-helix of our DNA and lives in the wild, primevil instinct deep in our hearts and in the core of our souls.

This is a terrfic video. I watched it every night for the first two weeks I owned it. And I recommend it to anybody who loves hunting, remote wilderness travel, isolated living or the outdoors.
