Hi Gary,
What GRAND entertainment! The DVD's I purchased last week arrived Saturday, but I neglected to check the mail box until Monday. I've watched all 8 hunts and enjoyed every minute. What a wonderful relationship you have with your friend, Mike! Interestingly, the quality of the video's obviously improve as the years go by. Your investment in equipment and dedication to learning it's uses is apparent. The scenery is exquisite and the music simply wonderful. The moose hunts were of equal interest to the caribou. In fact, I would prefer to hunt moose rather than caribou, if I still hunted. Thanks for providing some of the most entertaining stories I've ever had the priviledge to view. Another thing I'd add......the last three caribou hunts produced not a single kill, but in no way did that detract from the compelling urge to watch every minute of video. God's creation of wildlife, wonders and awe never cease to inspire me. You have captured on film all of that and more, which hopefully will open the hearts of all who watch to His wonderous word.
God Bless,
Tom Ireland Hagerstown,
Hello Gary,
It was a pleasure to have met and talked with you at the royal oak jamboree last Saturday. I bought a complete DVD set of your Moose and Caribou hunt, and what a pleasure. I was in Alaska back in 2002 for 12 days and never witnessed sunsets like the ones you shown on your videos, WOW. The photography was top notch. I have a large collection of hunting videos and yours are far the best in my collection. Thanks again and shoot straight.
your friend Mark Vickers
Video Review
Gary's videos are awesome! I have a fair collection of hunting videos and I have to say that Gary's are among my very favorite and get viewed the most often. What I enjoy most about his videos and what I think set them apart from most other hunting videos is that they focus on the hunt, not just the kill. You really feel like you are living their adventures with them. You can feel their exhaustion as they are slogging through the muskeg and their exhilaration when a moose answers their call. In one video I found myself getting very anxious about the hunter's plight as their river became frozen and there was concern about the pilot being able to pick them up. The videos also have a wonderful sense of humor. The video on one caribou hunt out of Iliamna, Alaska is flat out hilarious! The game footage is also tremendous! They have some footage of bull moose fighting that you truly have to see to believe. I should probably note that all this praise comes from a dim witted, Neanderthal, Rifle Hunter! So, just imagine how much you stick and string guys will appreciate these videos. Give them a try you won't be disappointed!

Thank you for making your awesome Alaska Hunting adventures available for others to see and enjoy. Your footage of the actual hunts are great, alot better than watching this kind of thing on television and having to put up with commercials!!! It is nice to see everyday hardworking people out hunting and enjoying the wonderful outdoors. Hunting Alaska has always been my dream, and after seeing your videos, it makes me want to do it even more.
Thanks again....

Gary,
Received order of 2 disc combo and '03 Caribou DVD today. I checked out the "03 hunt tonight and it is a first rate production of real hunting in awesome location. Mesmerizing... very much like really being there. Can't wait to find the time to watch the rest. Will recommend your DVD's and website to all my hunting friends.
Thanks again,
Gregg

Gary, I really enjoyed the videos I purchased from you. I think I have one with all moose hunts, one with bear hunts and whitetails and moose and caribou. These are genuine real hunts by real bowhunters that get out and do it themselves from drop camps. If I had the money, I'd love to be on these trips with you. Some memorable moments are: The river freezing up on you, the big ole' moose squaring up to charge after being shot, the deer on the foot bridge, the lucky moose skull, and the swamped moose on the raft. That must have been a tough pack out! The videos seem to follow a timeline and make the viewer experience everything the hunters go through. I kind of felt like I was there. It's nice to see trophies like the Pope & Young moose taken in these videos, but it's also nice to see the toils that the hunters go through and experience a true adventure.
Thanks,
Frank Rodenbaugh!
Gary,
I have purchased at least 2 of your Moose hunting videos and I even had the pleasure of having a conversation with you. I enoyed the videos at the time of purchase and I still enjoy them now. They are videos that really show what it's like to bowhunt, not these edited nice nice everything fall into place as if it was scripted.

Hello,
I purchased the 4 hour video set. I would like to give them 2 bows up. I live in the great state of Alaska and this video is how it really is. The 12 day caribou hunt is to its true form. Its not a kill after kill video like normal hunting videos . Its "Real Alaska Hunting". I will have to give the Black Bear Hunting DVD a try. If you're thinking of buying 1 or all of them, it's well worth the money.
