It’s hard to believe that Season 5 has come to an end, but even harder to believe Pure Hunting has had 5 seasons. Here is a “best of series” from the last 5 years, including amazing hunts, mishaps, time in the field with family and friends, never before seen footage in any episode, and really what Pure Hunting is all …
The best of Season 5 of Pure Hunting
Willi heads to Alberta to hunt black bear with good friend, and host of “Into High Country”, Jason Matzinger. They’re hunting with Colin Play of Northern Edge Outfitting. If they are successful, it will be Willi’s first archery black bear.
Join Willi as he, his dad and friends head to Argentina for a bucket list hunt for Argentina doves. Willi gave this hunt to his father for his recent retirement and it has always been his dad, John’s dream to hunt doves in Argentina. As the trip was planned, several other friends and family joined them on this hunt and …
Willi heads to Texas to his friend Randy Peck’s ranch to hunt hogs and coyotes. The hunt didn’t turn out like expected, but Willi and Chris headed back to Texas a few weeks later. They had thermal imaging equipment and the results were far better.

This hunt was very special, regardless of the number of birds taken, because it was a rare time that my dad, son and I enjoyed a hunt together.
Chris and I love chasing bugling bulls and a friend suggested we apply for a new spot we had never hunted in Western Wyoming. We drew the tag, looked at maps and went for it, the first week of September, never having set foot in that area before. It’s a hunt we would definitely consider again.
Elk hunting is Chris Nowak’s and my biggest passion but for the last 25 years, we’ve only hunted them with archery gear. We decided to head to an area familiar to us and go after them during the early rifle season. Our hopes and expectations were high, but in the dark timber, even with a rifle, things need to line …
I have hunted with this Illinois outfitter many times, five times in fact, both shotgun and archery, but had yet to take a good deer. I’m heading back, once again, hoping the sixth time’s a charm.
