Dropped (2011)

This first episode highlights what Chris and Casey have ahead of them on this journey. It explains and describes the terrain, weather and hunting style the guys will be faced with and gives a back story on this project and how it is set into motion.

Chris and Casey cross multiple waterways, trudge through miles of deep muskeg and climb hundreds of feet of mountain in search of a giant caribou bull. Chris re-injures a knee, throwing major questions about his durability the rest of the hunt.

The guys push downriver in search of Yukon Bull Moose. Over two days are spent covering almost 20 miles of river. Chris and Casey push through before setting moose camp. The new location is unnerving; a grizzly is heard just outside the tent.

Day three at 'Prayer Point' presents Casey with another opportunity...at an inopportune time. While nature calls, so does mother nature. A bull appears across the river once again in response to cow calls from camp.

The guys continue to push down river. Exhausted and starving, the brothers have barely enough energy to set camp. The guys discover is that sign is plentiful and the topography lends itself to moose habitat.

With days speeding by, the moose from Day 11 gone, the guys have more questions than answers. As critters loom in the night, the guys hardly rest easy. After a day of exploration, they find an abandoned trappers cabin, home to a very big grizzly.

On day three of the river movement, a hunting camp is desperately needed to boost morale of the crew, as well as continue the goal of downing a giant bull. Frustration boils over as the brothers admit for the first time they aren't sure what to do.

Casey spots a giant bull across the river and brings it down 10 yards from the water. A second bull makes his way up river toward the dead bull; Casey and the bull have a stand off, staring each other down from river's edge to river's edge.

On the heels of killing a giant bull, Chris and Casey get the 1500 pound moose quartered just before darkness falls and build a meat cache to preserve food rations for the rest of the journey.

Casey's bull was last seen floating down the river at a high rate of speed and into waters not yet seen by the brothers. Much anticipation awaits.

As Season Two of Dropped begins, the journeys to Base Camp and to sheep camp are highlighted.

As episode two picks up where one left off, Casey has a decision to make. After getting into position on a precarious position on the mountain, they realize the ram they were chasing is not legal and they must back out.

As episode three begins, the crew arrive at a canyon filled with a band of ten rams. After the intense initial wave of excitement, a second wave of demise and frustration ensues when this guarantee produces not one legal ram.

As the fog passes on the peak of Fish Hookʼs rocky face, the outline of the crew appears exactly where the ram was bedded last. Did they shoot and Chris not hear the shot?

The men leave sheep country on a high, but a 22-hour trail ride to Tom-Tom, the first moose camp of the hunt, seems forever away. It will be a long two-days of riding before the brothers reach their destination. As the journey to moose country continues with a successful sheep on a top pack, trouble is never more than a few horse strides away. After eight hours on horseback problems begin.

Decisions made in the Yukon can make or break any situation in a second and are magnified intensely in this rugged terrain. The brothers ascend and stalk the giant mountain grizzly they're now within 500 yrds, the decision rests with Chris.

The snow continues to pommel the Keefer brothers at Church Camp and visibility is at an all-time low. They are snowed in and have no definite timetable to continue the hunt. Many problems begin to arise.

As the bull closes in on the calling, Chris can hear the bull but cannot see him. Casey on the other hand can. As they try to communicate using hand signals, the bull disappears over the mountain top and gone.

Chris needs to make this happen. With willows too high to attempt a shot from the current location, Chris frantically pushes and closes the distance to 300 yards.

The brothers get a game plan and move toward the bull. Midway through the stalk the bull stands up and walks toward the brothers and turns just a split second before Casey can put the scope behind the shoulder of this giant bull.

Brothers Chris and Casey Keefer reflect on some of the greatest moments from the first two seasons of Dropped. Topics include the brother's most memorable individual hunts and how Dropped has evolved over the years.

Brothers Chris and Casey Keefer embark on another journey in the wilds of Alaska, on a river system, that hasn't been hunted for over a decade due to predation. The story starts out slow when the brothers do more dragging than floating in an area thick with grizzlies.

The search for a mature moose begins as brothers Chris and Casey Keefer move their way downriver, but when they cross paths with a giant sow grizzly, they get way more than they bargained for.

Brothers Chris and Casey Keefer continue their downriver journey, and as the moose rut closes in, they become more dependent on fish, ducks and berries. An epic Alaskan rain storm also moves in that carries heavy repercussions for their success.

Brothers Chris and Casey Keefer once again fish for their dinners and move closer toward extraction, but another encounter with a grizzly threatens the safety of them both when the bear gets a little too close to camp!

With a majority of the waterfowl now moving further south for the migration, brothers Chris and Casey Keefer focus on fishing for their main source of caloric intake and head back downriver after breaking camp, closing in on a stretch of ground they believe to hold several moose.

As the brothers close in on a moose-rich stretch of river, they run into several hurdles when they have to navigate and portage over a massive log jam that threatens the success of their hunt, potentially forcing them down a section of water they didn't plan for

Finally reaching the heart of moose country over three weeks into their journey, brothers Chris and Casey Keefer get eye-to-eye with a giant bull just minutes after putting up their tent in a new location.

As the odds continue to stack up, the 80-mile river journey finally nears the end, and brothers Chris and Casey Keefer have one last chance to connect on an Alaskan moose just miles from the river confluence where they get extracted from.

Brothers Chris and Casey Keefer pour through video submissions before choosing a deserving duo to join them in Alaska. The hunters meet at the airport for the first time. Casey and Kaid are Dropped, while Chris and company get hung up at the hangar.

The Alaskan weather relents long enough for Chris and Kaid to reach their destination, and land some food. Casey and R.L. have set up camp the day before moose season. The brothers must acclimate themselves to being Dropped separately for the first time.

Chris and Kaid ready their rafts while Casey and R.L. begin searching for black bears and moose. Chris and Kaid spot a predator heading toward camp.

It's day two of the hunting season and the search for big game continues. Chris and Kaid head downstream to find a better location and search for fish. Casey and R.L. enjoy a salmon for some much needed protein. Massive storm clouds empty over Alaska

R.L. opens up to Casey about the trials that led him to realize the importance of 'Be Alive'. Chris and Kaid are holed up in the tent at the mercy of the Alaskan weather. Casey and R.L. find some food.

While enjoying some supper, Casey spots a bear browsing the hillside. He and R.L. make a mad dash in the rain to attempt to get within range. Chris is growing tired of being stuck in the tent.

After being stuck in the tent for several days, the weather breaks momentarily for Chris and Kaid. The teams discover that the rain has flooded the river to dangerous levels. The hunt for big game continues.

Chris and Kaid pursue a big bull moose, and Kaid finds himself with hide in his crosshairs. Casey and R.L. continue their search for big game. The high river waters refuse to quit raging.

R.L. and Casey venture a long distance from camp in an attempt to get deep into prime moose territory as the rut takes hold. Chris is forced to explore a possible new extraction point due to bad weather.

As their time in Alaska comes to a close, Kaid and R.L. reflect on what matters most in their lives and what they've learned about being alive. Lifelong friendships are solidified as the men prepare to be lifted out of Alaska.

The Keefer brothers put boots to ground as their journey through Alaska begins. Armed with nothing but a couple Glock 20s, the brothers immediately begin their search for their first supply-yielding cache.

The Keefer brothers awaken to a frozen tundra. With over 8 miles to cover and no oars, the brothers are forced to trudge their way through shallow water and barren earth as they head downstream in search of their second cache.

The terrain begins to change as the Keefer brothers are forced to pick their way downstream. The landscape tightens it's grip and funnels the brothers to a geographic choke point where both predator and prey gather.

The Keefer brothers take shelter in a small pine outcropping as a winter storm sets siege to the river. Forced to wait out the arctic blast, the brothers try and retain what little energy they have left.

Using up the last of their energy, the Keefer brothers make their way down stream in search of their next supply cache. The tide turns as they finally make their way out of the open tundra and into the heart of moose country.

With lifted spirits, the Keefer brothers set out to spot and stalk a herd of caribou near by, but closing in proves more difficult than expected.

With red meat, the Keefer brothers are finally able to replenish their depleted energy, but they aren't the only ones looking to survive the winter in the Alaskan wilderness.

The harsh reality of winter sets in, and the Keefer brothers are forced to sleep with one eye open as a grizzly patrols the area around their camp.

With the arctic storm nipping at their heals, the Keefer brothers race down the river to reach their next supply-yielding cache only to become lost as the river divides into a maze of small channels

As the temperature plummets, the Keefer brothers fight their way down stream through freezing water and strong headwinds as they hope to reach their extraction site before the arctic storm lays claim to it.
