JIM SHOCKEY"S Hunting Adventure]
Are you kidding me?
He's coming right in.
He's walking right in,
he doesn't even care about us.
You got to be kidding.
I've never seen this in my life.
42 yards.
As soon as he turns—
He's got to take a step.
As soon as he steps...
That was a fawn.
Did you see that?
What a hunt!
Oh, he's beautiful.
That is a Saskatchewan buck.
Now that is cool.
That's a really nice buck Granddad.
He is almost 70.

Hi, I'm Jim Shockey
and welcome to the show.
How many times have you spotted
the animal you want to go after,
did everything right,
made a perfect plan
and when you got to where the animal was,
it wasn't, it was gone.
For me, that's most times
when I make a stalk
which brings me around to today's hunt.
How many times have you
spotted the animal you want to go after,
did everything wrong,
made a horrible lazy plan,
and got down there and the animal,
for whatever reason—
Oh, never mind,
you'll have to watch today's show.
We're headed up to the Yukon to go after
mountain caribou with a bow and arrow.
This is one of the rarest days
you'll ever get up here in the Yukon.
This perfect, calm, cold weather.
There's times up here
where I've hunted for a month straight
and had rain every single day.
So to get a bluebird day like this—
Crisp, perfect for animals to move.
I mean, they're all dressed up
in their winter clothes by now right?
So if it's too hot, too rainy,
too yuck, they don't move.
They sit tight.
If it's crisp and cool like this,
they can move.
They're happy,
they're just like human beings.
So you'll see more animals
on a day like today
by far than crappy weather days.
Already this morning I've seen 13 cows
down at the far end, way down there.
As the weather starts to cool down,
they all start migrating
out of the high country.
It's just—it's a hunter's day.
You can see your breath.
Just a bare hint of a breeze.
This is a hunter's day.
We're gearing up
to go caribou hunting today.
It's so cool to be heading
up to spike camp with my dad
because that's
the place that he talks about.
My whole life he's told me about
and showed me photos
and every time he comes back
every year,
way before I was even coming out
hunting with him,
he would talk about spike camp
and living like bush pigs.
He'd write articles about it
and now this time of year,
for the last few years,
I've got to come with him.
We get to go out there for,
last year it was five days,
this year it could be ten.
It's going to be a long time
to be sharing a bunk with my dad.
We just got here to spike camp.
It was about 4 hours from base camp
to here ARGO-ing.
We're setting up camp right now.
We're making the final decisions
and then we're going to head out.
And we have my Arctic Oven
my dad and I are sleeping in
and it's awesome!
It's already warm and we're not
going to get wet
which spike camp is great
but when you wake up soaking wet,
it's not so great.
But with an Arctic Oven,
you're not going to wake up soaking wet.
So I am very, very, very happy.
