1
00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:02.702
As Autumn gives
weight to winter,

2
00:00:02.702 --> 00:00:04.170
brothers Chris and Casey Keefer

3
00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:06.306
are drawn to the wild places,

4
00:00:06.306 --> 00:00:09.275
on a live to hunt,
hunt to live mission

5
00:00:09.275 --> 00:00:12.779
dropped with very little
to rely on but each other.

6
00:00:12.779 --> 00:00:15.248
Each new season brings
with it a new arena,

7
00:00:15.248 --> 00:00:16.816
and new challenges.

8
00:00:16.816 --> 00:00:19.919
Together the Keefer brothers
have faced angry predators,

9
00:00:19.919 --> 00:00:22.389
extreme hunger,
impassable terrain,

10
00:00:22.389 --> 00:00:24.958
and volatile shifting
weather patterns.

11
00:00:24.958 --> 00:00:26.426
They've explored
hundreds of miles

12
00:00:26.426 --> 00:00:27.994
of desolate mountain ranges,

13
00:00:27.994 --> 00:00:30.096
unsettled tundras,
raging rivers,

14
00:00:30.096 --> 00:00:32.499
and unpredictable
perils of territories

15
00:00:32.499 --> 00:00:34.234
where few are willing to go,

16
00:00:34.234 --> 00:00:35.902
all for the love the hunt,

17
00:00:35.902 --> 00:00:38.571
to test themselves,
to test each other,

18
00:00:38.571 --> 00:00:40.840
not to prove anything to anyone,

19
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.376
but to feed the fire inside.

20
00:00:43.376 --> 00:00:44.811
This is Dropped.

Northern Saskatchewan,
the land of living skies,

27
00:01:20.847 --> 00:01:22.916
land locked and
sparsely populated.

28
00:01:22.916 --> 00:01:24.984
This diverse province
has a reputation

29
00:01:24.984 --> 00:01:28.121
of being equal parts
beautiful and brutal.

30
00:01:28.121 --> 00:01:30.957
The grasslands of Southern
and Central Saskatchewan

31
00:01:30.957 --> 00:01:33.827
surrender to the thick
boreal pores of the north

32
00:01:33.827 --> 00:01:35.495
where black bears,
wolves and moose

33
00:01:35.495 --> 00:01:38.198
patrol towering thickets
of spruce and pine.

34
00:01:38.198 --> 00:01:39.732
This is where the
Keefer brothers

35
00:01:39.732 --> 00:01:42.469
will carve out a living
for for the next 30 days.

36
00:01:42.469 --> 00:01:45.371
Which a change in arena
comes a change in the rules.

37
00:01:45.371 --> 00:01:47.440
The brothers have access
to thousands of acres

38
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:50.777
of Canadian wilderness by
way of the remote lake.

39
00:01:50.777 --> 00:01:53.146
They've been afforded a
motorized fishing boat,

40
00:01:53.146 --> 00:01:55.048
just big enough to
transport their gear

41
00:01:55.048 --> 00:01:57.417
and a limited supply
of fuel reserves.

42
00:01:57.417 --> 00:01:59.052
For the duration
of their journey,

43
00:01:59.052 --> 00:02:00.954
this boat will be
their lifeline,

44
00:02:00.954 --> 00:02:02.856
allowing them to search
for the lake trout,

45
00:02:02.856 --> 00:02:04.791
northern pike, and
walleye that soar

46
00:02:04.791 --> 00:02:06.426
through the depths beneath them,

47
00:02:06.426 --> 00:02:08.795
while providing the
opportunity to scout and hunt

48
00:02:08.795 --> 00:02:11.698
the vast expanses of the
game rich northern timber.

49
00:02:11.698 --> 00:02:13.766
The Keefer brothers
hold tags for a moose

50
00:02:13.766 --> 00:02:17.403
and a black bear, but a tag
is far from a guarantee.

51
00:02:25.445 --> 00:02:27.914
It's mid September, and
autumn in Saskatchewan

52
00:02:27.914 --> 00:02:31.584
has abruptly begun to forfeit
to the wicked ways of winter.

53
00:02:31.584 --> 00:02:33.753
The Keefer brothers are
making strides in their quest

54
00:02:33.753 --> 00:02:35.355
to understand the ups and downs

55
00:02:35.355 --> 00:02:36.990
of this tract of land,

56
00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:38.625
but their mission
to locate big game

57
00:02:38.625 --> 00:02:40.560
has yet to bear fruit.

58
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.463
The cold waters of a remote
lake have been their lifeline,

59
00:02:43.463 --> 00:02:45.465
allowing access to
new hunting grounds,

60
00:02:45.465 --> 00:02:47.333
and their only source of food.

61
00:02:47.333 --> 00:02:50.303
While the calories from a
fireside meal are welcome,

62
00:02:50.303 --> 00:02:52.906
hunting red meat
remains front of mind.

63
00:02:52.906 --> 00:02:54.674
The brothers have spent
every waking moment

64
00:02:54.674 --> 00:02:57.377
exploring new ground in an
effort to shift the odds

65
00:02:57.377 --> 00:02:58.678
to their favor.

66
00:02:58.678 --> 00:03:00.914
Each new day is
a new opportunity

67
00:03:00.914 --> 00:03:04.184
to put miles behind them,
and big game in front.

68
00:03:04.184 --> 00:03:09.189
♪ Lost in the water and pray
the Lord my soul to keep ♪

69
00:03:10.290 --> 00:03:12.091
- Looks can be deceiving, huh?

70
00:03:12.091 --> 00:03:13.593
- Yeah, so much for
headed that direction.

71
00:03:13.593 --> 00:03:16.229
That is a massive
storm system coming in.

72
00:03:16.229 --> 00:03:17.764
- That's not really gonna work.

73
00:03:17.764 --> 00:03:19.465
We're going right into the
belly of the beast there.

74
00:03:19.465 --> 00:03:20.967
- [Announcer] Today's
plan is to head south

75
00:03:20.967 --> 00:03:22.936
to covered ground,
but Mother Nature

76
00:03:22.936 --> 00:03:24.270
has a plan of her own.

77
00:03:24.270 --> 00:03:26.272
The storm is moving in quickly.

78
00:03:26.272 --> 00:03:28.474
The threat of getting
stranded away from base camp

79
00:03:28.474 --> 00:03:30.677
is a risk they must
take seriously.

80
00:03:30.677 --> 00:03:32.212
- Just after we go
through the chute

81
00:03:32.212 --> 00:03:34.647
there's that bay right
there on the left hand side

82
00:03:34.647 --> 00:03:37.550
that looks promising.

83
00:03:37.550 --> 00:03:39.819
I'm thinking if you wanna
drop me in that bay.

84
00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:41.487
I mean, if we can even
make it down there

85
00:03:41.487 --> 00:03:43.256
with this thing coming in.

86
00:03:43.256 --> 00:03:45.058
If you wanna drop
me in that bay,

87
00:03:45.058 --> 00:03:47.994
I wouldn't mind kinda
walking in there a little bit

88
00:03:47.994 --> 00:03:50.096
and just looking around
for musk scat, moose sign,

89
00:03:50.096 --> 00:03:53.199
whatever, and give it a go,

90
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.501
and then maybe you boogy
back down to the Rock.

91
00:03:55.501 --> 00:03:57.170
- I really liked what
that area looked like,

92
00:03:57.170 --> 00:03:59.439
and there's so many
berries all through there.

93
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.442
I might to take the boom
stick with me, take the gun,

94
00:04:02.442 --> 00:04:03.943
go up and sit on that rock,

95
00:04:03.943 --> 00:04:06.779
and just post up for four or
five hours and just watch.

96
00:04:06.779 --> 00:04:08.881
I can see so much countryside,

97
00:04:08.881 --> 00:04:10.283
you know, and just glass it.

98
00:04:11.751 --> 00:04:15.221
If something steps out I can
hopefully get a shot at it.

99
00:04:15.221 --> 00:04:18.358
- Well right now we got
nothing but time on our hands,

100
00:04:18.358 --> 00:04:20.827
and there's a giant storm
between us and what we wanna do,

101
00:04:20.827 --> 00:04:22.895
so there's no reason
to go any further

102
00:04:22.895 --> 00:04:24.063
until that blows off.

103
00:04:24.063 --> 00:04:25.665
- Yeah, let's just sit and wait.

104
00:04:29.869 --> 00:04:31.404
- [Announcer] Chris and
Casey decide to wait

105
00:04:31.404 --> 00:04:32.839
for the storm to change course

106
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.907
before they make any big moves.

107
00:04:34.907 --> 00:04:37.477
They'll split up to
increase their chances.

108
00:04:37.477 --> 00:04:39.245
Casey is headed to
a promising stretch

109
00:04:39.245 --> 00:04:40.880
in search of moose sign,

110
00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:42.115
while Chris heads to the rocks

111
00:04:42.115 --> 00:04:44.517
to benefit from a rare
rise in elevation.

112
00:04:55.161 --> 00:04:59.165
- There we go, on shore,
ready to rock and roll.

113
00:05:02.201 --> 00:05:03.036
I'll see ya.

114
00:05:05.138 --> 00:05:09.876
So yeah, basically the
plan is I'm gonna head up

115
00:05:09.876 --> 00:05:11.377
and kinda hug this hillside,

116
00:05:11.377 --> 00:05:14.247
and try to get up on top,
and glass down in there,

117
00:05:14.247 --> 00:05:15.715
see what I can see.

118
00:05:15.715 --> 00:05:17.317
I gotta start finding
some moose sign sometime,

119
00:05:19.886 --> 00:05:20.853
so start peeling my stuff,

120
00:05:20.853 --> 00:05:21.921
get my pack on here.

121
00:05:25.124 --> 00:05:26.592
Get up in there.

122
00:05:26.592 --> 00:05:28.161
It looks like it should be.

123
00:05:28.161 --> 00:05:30.963
A lot of musk scat
like down in the water,

124
00:05:32.031 --> 00:05:34.701
in this bay, so we'll see.

125
00:05:36.202 --> 00:05:39.505
(slow dramatic music)

126
00:05:39.505 --> 00:05:41.274
The storm front has passed,

127
00:05:41.274 --> 00:05:42.942
clearing the way for
the Keefer brothers

128
00:05:42.942 --> 00:05:45.278
to make it to the
south end of the lake.

129
00:05:45.278 --> 00:05:46.713
The brothers have split up,

130
00:05:46.713 --> 00:05:49.515
a situation they
usually try to avoid.

131
00:05:49.515 --> 00:05:51.718
While Casey explores
a promising new area

132
00:05:51.718 --> 00:05:53.219
in search of moose sign,

133
00:05:53.219 --> 00:05:55.521
Chris takes the rifle back
to the rocky outcropping

134
00:05:55.521 --> 00:05:57.890
to gain a valuable
vantage point.

135
00:05:57.890 --> 00:05:59.092
He dons blaze orange

136
00:05:59.092 --> 00:06:01.561
to stay within the rules
of Saskatchewan law,

137
00:06:01.561 --> 00:06:04.030
and carries a
Winchester 270 short mag

138
00:06:04.030 --> 00:06:05.765
for it's long distance accuracy,

139
00:06:05.765 --> 00:06:08.000
and big game knockdown power.

140
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.269
This tool gives Chris
a decided advantage,

141
00:06:10.269 --> 00:06:12.638
but leaves Casey with
nothing but stick and string

142
00:06:12.638 --> 00:06:14.874
to hunt moose, and
ward off the bears

143
00:06:14.874 --> 00:06:17.343
that are looking for a late
autumn meal of their own.

144
00:06:17.343 --> 00:06:19.779
(moose call)

145
00:06:25.651 --> 00:06:30.289
- I can hear that sound
for a long ways up here.

146
00:06:30.289 --> 00:06:33.292
That's one of the things I
like about getting elevation

147
00:06:33.292 --> 00:06:35.194
like this, is when you
can actually get up

148
00:06:35.194 --> 00:06:40.199
and get out of that bush,
find yourself some elevation,

149
00:06:41.634 --> 00:06:44.070
your calls are just gonna
carry that much further.

150
00:06:44.070 --> 00:06:48.508
You know, the hearing ability
of a moose is just incredible.

151
00:06:50.109 --> 00:06:52.245
When you think about
it their ears are,

152
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.747
I mean their ears are the size

153
00:06:54.747 --> 00:06:56.916
of this moose call right here,

154
00:06:56.916 --> 00:07:00.453
then they've got those big
paddles, those big shovels,

155
00:07:00.453 --> 00:07:01.654
and that's what
they're designed for.

156
00:07:01.654 --> 00:07:03.389
They're designed
to catch that sound

157
00:07:03.389 --> 00:07:05.258
and funnel it down
to their ears.

158
00:07:07.093 --> 00:07:09.028
So we're just gonna sit
up here this evening.

159
00:07:09.028 --> 00:07:11.197
We're just gonna keep calling.

160
00:07:11.197 --> 00:07:13.566
I've been trying to look
for some sign down in there,

161
00:07:13.566 --> 00:07:16.536
looking for moose rakes
and stuff like that,

162
00:07:16.536 --> 00:07:19.839
telltale giveaway signs
that there's moose in here,

163
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.241
potentially moose
in here rutting.

164
00:07:22.241 --> 00:07:25.144
But I haven't been able to
see anything from a distance

165
00:07:25.144 --> 00:07:27.580
and I just don't wanna
go gang busting in there.

166
00:07:27.580 --> 00:07:30.650
I'd rather sit back and
do some callings though.

167
00:07:30.650 --> 00:07:31.984
This is a wicked little spot.

168
00:07:31.984 --> 00:07:33.653
I really like this place.

169
00:07:34.821 --> 00:07:36.856
We're gonna put
some time in here

170
00:07:36.856 --> 00:07:39.559
over the next few
days, there's no doubt.

171
00:07:39.559 --> 00:07:41.260
- [Announcer] Meanwhile,
Chris stays focused

172
00:07:41.260 --> 00:07:42.829
on his glassing mission.

173
00:07:42.829 --> 00:07:44.831
No moose have entered
his line of sight,

174
00:07:44.831 --> 00:07:48.334
but he's hanging on to his
confidence in this location.

175
00:07:48.334 --> 00:07:49.836
- Well it's about to get dark,

176
00:07:51.137 --> 00:07:52.138
and it's time to get back.

177
00:07:52.138 --> 00:07:54.006
I gotta pick Casey up.

178
00:07:54.006 --> 00:07:56.175
A lot of things can
go wrong in the dark.

179
00:07:56.175 --> 00:07:58.878
This is a new lake, and
navigation can be an issue.

180
00:08:00.112 --> 00:08:03.149
Just a lot of risks
that you gotta avoid,

181
00:08:03.149 --> 00:08:05.918
so I did as much
glassing as I can.

182
00:08:05.918 --> 00:08:07.420
This is an amazing area.

183
00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:10.056
I can see it's definitely
the first vantage point

184
00:08:10.056 --> 00:08:11.557
that I've seen.

185
00:08:11.557 --> 00:08:13.926
It is bear territory,
there's berries everywhere,

186
00:08:13.926 --> 00:08:15.595
so I'll be back in the morning.

187
00:08:16.963 --> 00:08:19.599
I'll go grab Casey
and head back.

188
00:08:19.599 --> 00:08:21.400
It's cold,
temperature's dropping.

189
00:08:22.301 --> 00:08:23.803
It's dropping fast.

190
00:08:23.803 --> 00:08:26.973
(slow dramatic music)

191
00:08:29.976 --> 00:08:32.478
We've been sitting up here
for a couple hours now.

192
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.082
The temperature's
just plummeted.

193
00:08:37.783 --> 00:08:42.788
It's gotta be close to
20 degrees out right now

194
00:08:43.990 --> 00:08:44.924
with those storms
moving in and out,

195
00:08:44.924 --> 00:08:48.327
some sleet and hail, snow,

196
00:08:48.327 --> 00:08:51.998
a little bit of
everything earlier.

197
00:08:51.998 --> 00:08:53.699
Then it kinda stabilized,

198
00:08:53.699 --> 00:08:55.535
and now that temperature
sky opened up

199
00:08:55.535 --> 00:08:57.837
and the temperature's
just dropping.

200
00:08:59.005 --> 00:09:01.107
I've been sitting up
here calling on and off

201
00:09:01.107 --> 00:09:04.844
every 15 minutes, 20
minutes, somewhere in there

202
00:09:06.145 --> 00:09:07.413
for a few hours,

203
00:09:08.915 --> 00:09:11.517
and I swear I just heard
a grunt back in here

204
00:09:11.517 --> 00:09:12.919
to the right somewhere.

205
00:09:14.654 --> 00:09:17.390
I mean, the silence out here
right now is just deafening.

206
00:09:17.390 --> 00:09:20.259
There's not a breath of wind.

207
00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:25.164
I mean nothing, but I've
heard moose grunts a lot,

208
00:09:27.199 --> 00:09:29.635
and I swear I heard a
grunt right over there.

209
00:09:31.470 --> 00:09:33.039
I just haven't seen anything.

210
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:34.507
We're getting to the point now

211
00:09:34.507 --> 00:09:37.109
where it's late enough we'll
be out of shooting light

212
00:09:37.109 --> 00:09:38.511
here in no time,

213
00:09:38.511 --> 00:09:42.214
so I don't wanna start
calling or do anything raking,

214
00:09:43.916 --> 00:09:45.851
because if that is
a bull over there,

215
00:09:45.851 --> 00:09:49.221
he'll still be in this
area in the morning.

216
00:09:51.190 --> 00:09:52.658
- [Announcer] As daylight fades,

217
00:09:52.658 --> 00:09:55.027
Casey picks up the welcome
sound of a boat engine

218
00:09:55.027 --> 00:09:57.296
humming across the glassy lake.

219
00:09:57.296 --> 00:09:59.465
He heads back to shore to
meet up with his brother

220
00:09:59.465 --> 00:10:02.001
to begin a cold boat
ride back to base camp,

221
00:10:02.001 --> 00:10:04.870
where they'll spend yet another
night on empty stomachs.

222
00:10:08.207 --> 00:10:11.978
(slow dramatic guitar music)

230
00:11:12.972 --> 00:11:16.008
- That was a cold, cold ride
across there this morning,

231
00:11:17.376 --> 00:11:20.112
but we're separated again,

232
00:11:20.112 --> 00:11:21.714
back in our spots.

233
00:11:23.115 --> 00:11:25.384
We left out dark this morning,

234
00:11:25.384 --> 00:11:26.952
we pulled away from base camp.

235
00:11:28.387 --> 00:11:30.856
Navigation's getting a little
bit better on this lake.

236
00:11:30.856 --> 00:11:32.925
We're starting to learn it,

237
00:11:32.925 --> 00:11:35.327
and once you find a spot
that's safe us just stay

238
00:11:35.327 --> 00:11:39.231
in that spot, so it's been nice

239
00:11:39.231 --> 00:11:41.367
to be able to kind of travel,

240
00:11:41.367 --> 00:11:43.169
extending our daylight hours,

241
00:11:43.169 --> 00:11:44.670
or leaving early in the morning,

242
00:11:44.670 --> 00:11:47.840
so we got up and
bailed out of there.

243
00:11:49.008 --> 00:11:50.776
It's just crack
of daylight here,

244
00:11:50.776 --> 00:11:53.212
and it's cold,
temperature's dropped down.

245
00:11:54.580 --> 00:11:57.049
I don't know, it's probably
got to be in the 20s,

246
00:11:57.049 --> 00:12:00.653
I'd imagine at this
point, but yeah.

247
00:12:02.722 --> 00:12:06.625
Casey is moose hunting,
I'm bear hunting.

248
00:12:06.625 --> 00:12:08.327
I'm really just glassing.

249
00:12:08.327 --> 00:12:11.197
I can see for miles up here,

250
00:12:11.197 --> 00:12:14.366
just trying to see if I can
put a move on something.

251
00:12:16.335 --> 00:12:19.138
I'll probably stick to the plan

252
00:12:19.138 --> 00:12:22.942
of hunt the morning,
fish in the afternoon

253
00:12:22.942 --> 00:12:27.580
hunt the evening for the
next couple of days at least,

254
00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:31.417
sticking it out where they
kinda have the patience,

255
00:12:31.417 --> 00:12:35.688
and then as the month goes on,

256
00:12:35.688 --> 00:12:37.256
we'll learn more about this lake

257
00:12:37.256 --> 00:12:41.327
and explore more
while we're fishing,

258
00:12:41.327 --> 00:12:44.430
and that'll give us more
opportunities to hunt.

259
00:12:44.430 --> 00:12:45.831
That's really all we can do.

260
00:12:49.101 --> 00:12:54.106
This morning will be
hopefully a good morning,

261
00:12:54.707 --> 00:12:54.974
but it's cold.

262
00:12:57.743 --> 00:12:58.577
It's cold.

263
00:12:59.979 --> 00:13:02.281
It doesn't look cold, but
I'm gonna tell you right now,

264
00:13:02.281 --> 00:13:03.582
the temperature's dropping.

265
00:13:03.582 --> 00:13:05.551
That's my belly
rumbling right there.

266
00:13:08.187 --> 00:13:11.223
Belly's rumbling which means
after this morning's hunt,

267
00:13:11.223 --> 00:13:13.526
we're gonna have to go
for a good little fish,

268
00:13:14.493 --> 00:13:15.795
'cause I'm getting hungry.

269
00:13:18.197 --> 00:13:20.199
- [Announcer] After
a brisk boat ride,

270
00:13:20.199 --> 00:13:21.700
the Keefer brothers
are once again

271
00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:24.904
posted up at their stations
on the south end of the lake.

272
00:13:24.904 --> 00:13:26.505
Chris is glassing
from high ground,

273
00:13:26.505 --> 00:13:29.441
while Casey is doubling
down on the bull grunt

274
00:13:29.441 --> 00:13:31.944
he heard at sunset last night.

275
00:13:35.014 --> 00:13:37.449
(moose call)

276
00:13:43.689 --> 00:13:46.859
(slow dramatic music)

277
00:14:01.140 --> 00:14:03.409
Casey is calling on his
bush savvy instincts

278
00:14:03.409 --> 00:14:06.278
to make use of the natural
materials around him.

279
00:14:06.278 --> 00:14:08.948
He's constructing a simple
and effective firewall

280
00:14:08.948 --> 00:14:11.517
that will serve three
important purposes.

281
00:14:11.517 --> 00:14:13.285
The wall will act
as a rigid barrier

282
00:14:13.285 --> 00:14:16.388
to protect the fire from the
bitter Saskatchewan wind.

283
00:14:16.388 --> 00:14:18.357
It will also contain
and reflect the heat

284
00:14:18.357 --> 00:14:20.459
produced back towards Casey.

285
00:14:20.459 --> 00:14:22.361
As the rocks rise
in temperature,

286
00:14:22.361 --> 00:14:23.996
they will retain
heat much longer

287
00:14:23.996 --> 00:14:25.865
than a log retains a flame,

288
00:14:25.865 --> 00:14:27.499
maximizing Casey's efforts,

289
00:14:27.499 --> 00:14:29.869
and prolonging the
fire's effectiveness.

290
00:14:29.869 --> 00:14:33.038
(Twangy guitar music)

291
00:14:48.587 --> 00:14:51.891
- It's been about six
hours since I got in here.

292
00:14:51.891 --> 00:14:55.127
Been calling the whole
time, nothing showed yet,

293
00:14:55.127 --> 00:14:58.964
but a lot of times that's
the moose hunting game.

294
00:15:00.366 --> 00:15:02.201
It's kinda that hurry
up and wait deal.

295
00:15:02.201 --> 00:15:05.738
It's amazing how you
can call from one spot,

296
00:15:07.072 --> 00:15:10.509
and two days later, sometimes
even three days later,

297
00:15:10.509 --> 00:15:13.245
there'll be a moose
standing right here,

298
00:15:13.245 --> 00:15:16.982
and they can pinpoint exactly
where you called from,

299
00:15:18.384 --> 00:15:21.687
so this is really the first
full morning of calling

300
00:15:21.687 --> 00:15:23.022
that we've put in,

301
00:15:23.022 --> 00:15:25.457
just letting the fire
kinda dwindle down here.

302
00:15:26.625 --> 00:15:29.061
Then I'll probably
slip out of here

303
00:15:29.061 --> 00:15:30.696
and wait for Chris
to pick me up.

304
00:15:31.897 --> 00:15:33.132
Maybe go do some fishing.

305
00:15:33.132 --> 00:15:34.667
We'll figure it out
once he gets here,

306
00:15:34.667 --> 00:15:37.903
but all in all
not a bad morning.

307
00:15:39.305 --> 00:15:40.606
It just feels good to
get some calls out there,

308
00:15:40.606 --> 00:15:42.708
and let some moose
know that we're around.

309
00:15:44.843 --> 00:15:48.013
(slow dramatic music)

310
00:15:54.286 --> 00:15:55.988
- You see anything?

311
00:15:55.988 --> 00:15:58.157
- [Casey] No, how about you?

312
00:15:58.157 --> 00:15:59.558
Did you see anything on top?

313
00:15:59.558 --> 00:16:01.894
- Nothing, I can see a long way.

314
00:16:01.894 --> 00:16:03.062
- [Casey] Didn't see anything?

315
00:16:05.230 --> 00:16:06.131
All right well...

316
00:16:08.067 --> 00:16:09.001
- Hungry.

317
00:16:09.001 --> 00:16:11.103
- [Casey] Hungry, let's go fish.

318
00:16:12.271 --> 00:16:13.739
Let's go see if we
can find some fish.

319
00:16:13.739 --> 00:16:15.908
- I say we fish on our
way back to camp and,

320
00:16:15.908 --> 00:16:17.142
- [Casey] Catch a little lunch.

321
00:16:17.142 --> 00:16:19.078
- Yeah, and get
some shore lunch.

322
00:16:20.012 --> 00:16:20.846
- Yeah, let's go.

323
00:16:21.780 --> 00:16:24.950
(slow dramatic music)

324
00:16:31.423 --> 00:16:33.926
(upbeat music)

325
00:16:36.929 --> 00:16:40.265
- Well that didn't take long,

326
00:16:40.265 --> 00:16:41.767
and just like that
we pull over here

327
00:16:41.767 --> 00:16:45.104
and the weather changes, and
we're catching fish for lunch.

328
00:16:46.338 --> 00:16:48.073
I gotta try and
reel this thing in.

329
00:16:48.073 --> 00:16:49.808
There we go.

330
00:16:49.808 --> 00:16:53.312
(bouncy, energetic music)

331
00:16:55.180 --> 00:16:57.216
- That was cool.

332
00:16:57.216 --> 00:17:00.853
We got into some northerns
here, which is nice,

333
00:17:01.787 --> 00:17:03.222
because we got lunch.

334
00:17:03.222 --> 00:17:04.823
Oh, and Casey picked up a trout.

335
00:17:06.091 --> 00:17:09.595
(bouncy, energetic music)

336
00:17:14.466 --> 00:17:16.969
- You can always tell a
trout by the old head dive.

337
00:17:16.969 --> 00:17:20.472
(bouncy, energetic music)

338
00:17:44.263 --> 00:17:45.864
- All right, so we're
gonna let that one go,

339
00:17:45.864 --> 00:17:48.634
let the trout go for now,
'cause we got northerns.

340
00:17:48.634 --> 00:17:50.269
Let's see if we can
pick up a couple more.

341
00:17:51.270 --> 00:17:54.773
(bouncy, energetic music)

342
00:17:57.943 --> 00:17:59.144
- Well, there we go.

343
00:18:00.045 --> 00:18:01.046
Just like that.

344
00:18:02.181 --> 00:18:05.084
Picked up a fish, which is good.

345
00:18:05.084 --> 00:18:06.552
That means we got lunch.

346
00:18:06.552 --> 00:18:07.386
Check this out.

347
00:18:08.921 --> 00:18:09.755
- Hello trout,

348
00:18:11.423 --> 00:18:12.424
a little trout here.

349
00:18:18.297 --> 00:18:20.466
How many of these a day
can you catch right there.

350
00:18:20.466 --> 00:18:22.267
I mean these trout
are unbelievable.

351
00:18:22.267 --> 00:18:23.735
There's red and white in here.

352
00:18:25.604 --> 00:18:28.073
- [Announcer] After a slow,
cold start to the day,

353
00:18:28.073 --> 00:18:30.275
the clouds have
cleared, making room

354
00:18:30.275 --> 00:18:32.678
for some much needed
Saskatchewan sunshine.

355
00:18:33.879 --> 00:18:35.881
The afternoon goal
was to catch supper,

356
00:18:35.881 --> 00:18:38.550
and the lake has
provided once again.

357
00:18:38.550 --> 00:18:40.052
Spirits lift as the brothers

358
00:18:40.052 --> 00:18:41.153
head back to base camp.

359
00:19:04.276 --> 00:19:08.447
- Well if the lake can
keep providing, I'm good,

360
00:19:09.815 --> 00:19:13.785
but man, I wanna get some
animals on the ground, you know.

361
00:19:13.785 --> 00:19:15.154
- Yeah.

362
00:19:15.154 --> 00:19:17.089
- I definitely
wanna keep hunting,

363
00:19:17.089 --> 00:19:22.027
it's just so hard,
unexplored like this.

364
00:19:22.027 --> 00:19:23.462
- It's different than Alaska.

365
00:19:24.730 --> 00:19:26.031
If you think about Alaska,

366
00:19:26.031 --> 00:19:27.633
we don't have a choice
but to go down river.

367
00:19:27.633 --> 00:19:29.401
We can't go up river in a raft,

368
00:19:30.602 --> 00:19:32.838
but here we've got
a boat and a motor.

369
00:19:32.838 --> 00:19:34.373
We've got a great big lake,

370
00:19:34.373 --> 00:19:37.743
and a boat and a motor, so
we can go anywhere we want,

371
00:19:37.743 --> 00:19:39.745
we can go anywhere and explore,

372
00:19:39.745 --> 00:19:43.081
although exploring and moose
hunting don't really go.

373
00:19:43.081 --> 00:19:45.851
- Well that's the thing,
you have a moose tag,

374
00:19:45.851 --> 00:19:48.487
and a black bear tag, and
I have a black bear tag,

375
00:19:49.521 --> 00:19:53.358
so I gotta get mobile.

376
00:19:53.358 --> 00:19:54.993
I mean I'm gonna give
that another shot.

377
00:19:54.993 --> 00:19:56.228
I mean I'm gonna go up there.

378
00:19:56.228 --> 00:19:57.996
It's a beautiful area,
it's a pinch point,

379
00:19:57.996 --> 00:19:59.431
it's between two lakes.

380
00:19:59.431 --> 00:20:02.034
I mean, I can see it
happening there for sure.

381
00:20:02.868 --> 00:20:04.336
I don't know.

382
00:20:04.336 --> 00:20:06.471
I don't really know where
else to go, you know.

383
00:20:07.606 --> 00:20:09.074
I haven't spent
the time exploring,

384
00:20:09.074 --> 00:20:12.611
so it's just a matter
of figuring that out.

385
00:20:14.213 --> 00:20:16.882
- [Announcer] You win
some, you lose some.

386
00:20:16.882 --> 00:20:19.251
Chris and Casey
replenish with gratitude,

387
00:20:19.251 --> 00:20:21.353
thankful that the lake
is picking up the slack

388
00:20:21.353 --> 00:20:22.654
where their efforts
to hunt moose

389
00:20:22.654 --> 00:20:24.189
have fallen short.

390
00:20:24.189 --> 00:20:26.692
A fireside supper gives
hope for tomorrow,

391
00:20:26.692 --> 00:20:28.293
and although their
decision to split up

392
00:20:28.293 --> 00:20:30.062
is something they try to avoid,

393
00:20:30.062 --> 00:20:31.330
they'll stay the course

394
00:20:31.330 --> 00:20:32.931
to increase their
chances of success,

395
00:20:32.931 --> 00:20:35.567
while they continue learning
the lay of the land.

396
00:20:35.567 --> 00:20:37.736
In Saskatchewan
moments of sunshine

397
00:20:37.736 --> 00:20:39.271
are often short lived.

398
00:20:39.271 --> 00:20:42.441
The snow is a reminder
of one simple truth.

399
00:20:42.441 --> 00:20:43.842
If the brothers hope
to make it through

400
00:20:43.842 --> 00:20:46.211
the upcoming weeks, they
need to make the most

401
00:20:46.211 --> 00:20:48.747
of every moment they get
to spend here together.
