Out here, in the wild, nothing is given.

Everything is earned.

The land provides, but only if you
respect it.

My name is Cole Harrington, and I've
been hunting the western United States

since I was a kid.

My father taught me to hunt the right
way, ethically, responsibly, with

for the animals and the land.

Hunting isn't about trophies.

It's not about...

staged shots or glamorized kills like
you see on other shows.

It's about connection to the land, to
the wildlife, and to something primal

inside it.

Every hunt tells a story, and out here,
nature writes the script.

I take pride in being an ethical hunter,
giving back to the wild that gives so

much to me.

This isn't just a sport.

It's a way of life.

And if you're here watching, well, you
feel it too.

This is Primal Instinct.

You know, I had an interesting
experience one time deer hunting.

Not too far from here. I was kind of
thinking about it while I was on this

I ran into a, I don't know if you'd call
him a hippie, I guess maybe a hippie.

Didn't think anybody would be out as far
as I was.

Came around a bend and there he was,
barefoot.

Had his feet, like, buried in the dirt.

And... He called attention to me by
saying, he saw me first, actually.

When I went over to him, he said, he
said, are you deer hunting? And I

great.

He's going to be some protester and it's
going to be like a big pain in my ass,

right, to get away from this guy.

But I said, yeah, I am.

And he said, he said, that's good.

He said, Did you find your balance?

And I had no idea what he was talking
about, right?

And I said, well, I don't know.

You know, I don't know. I guess
everybody has their own idea of what

right? And he said, he said, the earth
has a balance.

And he said, if I'm going to be taking
something from the earth, a deer,

do I have a plan to pay it back, right?
Keep things balanced.

He was out, he was doing something, I
don't know what the term was, earthing,

don't know, I'm making that up maybe.

He had his feet in the soil and he was
saying that by his bare feet being

in the dirt like that, he was, you know,
he was connecting with earth again,

right? And he felt like I was also
connecting with earth. If I, as a

get a deer and I eat the meat, then I'm
connecting with the earth, right?

But he said, we all have to have a
balance.

when we're out here otherwise everything
gets thrown off and he asked if i if i

had figured out my balance yet and i
said well quite honestly i i don't

know how to answer that so i asked him
uh if he had any kind of um thoughts on

what you know a hunter's balance would
be and he said of course it was very you

know

out there but essentially that he
couldn't answer that because that's for

person to answer for themselves right
but he said uh if i was willing to draw

blood um from one of earth's creatures
that i may have to be willing

uh to eventually give my blood back
right to the soil balance

and he asked if i had it figured out and
i said no i don't think anybody really

can figure out

Their own mortality, you know, that's
the whole point of living life is not

knowing when it's going to end, right?

And I don't find it scary.

I think it's what makes it exciting.

That's what makes the journey worth
taking.

But he just said, he said, make sure
that you always,

always replace what you take and keep
the balance, right?

Don't take more than you give.

Don't give more than you take.

And we left each other there, and I went
on hunting. I ended up getting a deer

that year, and it was great.

But I've always thought about that. It
was interesting.

You know, we probably live very, very
different lives. I imagine he's probably

the type that he may get teary -eyed if
somebody kills a spider, right?

Which is fine.

Balance. If there's going to be somebody
like me out there, there's got to be

somebody like him. Otherwise, we just
can't harmonize, right?

It's all about the balance.

Jeremy, I don't know if you're going to
be able to do a whole lot with this

footage.

I mean, as you'll see, as you go through
this stuff,

I don't have a whole lot.

It's been a hell of a hunt. I spent nine
days.

Man, we didn't come in to anything.

I thought maybe the snow and the weather
would help drive them a little bit, but

I don't know if it being a late season
hunt, if maybe the early hunters got in

here and pushed them out. I don't know
if the fires that we had earlier did

something.

I don't know if there's a predator in
the area or what.

I did all that scouting, and we had our
eyes on a couple of good bucks, and I

didn't see them once we finally got out
here. So disheartening for sure, and I

don't know.

Trying to end a season of a show here,
and I got no deer in my hands.

I don't really know how to end this,
right?

I guess maybe you're...

Your technical wizardry with the editing
should maybe be able to do something. I

don't know. Or maybe we scrap this whole
final episode and you just do a

highlight reel or something.

I don't know, man.

I don't know.

Beautiful country.

I had a lot of time to just reflect, and
it was a great hunt.

You know, because everybody knows a hunt
isn't about the kill, right? If it'd be

called killing, it wouldn't be called
hunting.

And I just, I had some time to spend

thinking on things, kind of
reconnecting, get everything.

Well, I mean, who am I kidding, man?
Everything's kind of fucked.

I don't know if it's the divorce or the
uncertainty of what's going to happen

with the kids or what, but I wasn't into
this one at all, and I think that's why

the footage stinks, and maybe that's why
I didn't run into any deer. I don't

know if my heart wasn't in it or what.

Anyway, man, I appreciate everything
you've done, and I'll send you what I

and I don't know.

I'll try and...

Film some kind of a promo here in a
minute when I get my shit together

just not in the best mood.

I want to say thanks to all my fans for
keeping up with us throughout this first

season of Primal Instinct.

It's been a series of ups and downs.
We've had some really incredible

encounters, but it's been great. And
it's very humbling for me to...

Hop online and see how many of you are
out there supporting our efforts and how

many people we've got in the comment
section and all the views. It's been

wonderful.

I do appreciate you guys jumping into
the comments and trying to fight the

trolls that want to talk some smack to
us. But just remember, don't feed the

trolls. You're better than them.

Thank you to everybody who has been
rocking the Primal Instinct merch.

Remember to keep tagging us and
everything.

Hit that hashtag, Primal Instinct, on
all your posts.

We love to see it. We'll pick some and
we'll share them on the next show.

I mean, you do this stuff for a living,
right, Jeremy? You edit and you take

footage and people are in and out of
character and all that.

So you're used to this.

I'm not.

The whole point of this was so you'd see
the real me and here I am faking these

promos and actually in a little bit of a
dark place.

I guess there's a lot of people that can
just turn their

personality on and off for the camera,
right?

It's all what the camera sees.

Whatever the audience sees is what they
think is actually going on, and it's the

behind -the -scenes stuff that, well,
whatever. You don't,

nobody needs to hear about my bullshit
anymore.

Jeremy, thank you. I'll send this to
you. We'll get it cut and figure out

we can do with it, and I'm just ready to
get warm.

I'm ready to come back season two when
the weather's better.

I will get my head right when we come
back.

So I'm signing off, brother. I'm going
to get out of here before the weather

gets too bad.

And I'm really, really sorry about this
going on and on and on and on and on and

on.

It is peaceful out here.

It is really starting to snow and I
should probably get out of here before I

freeze to death because the rest of my
good gear is back at the truck and I

walked up to this pretty spot so I could
film this promo and I'm

starting to get pretty chilly.

I don't think anybody gives a shit about
me.

Being cold.

I don't know, maybe you do.

I guess maybe that's what reality
television is, right? I'm having a hard

adjusting to all of this stuff because
I'm used to just

looking at everything through a rifle
scope.

Now I'm out here vlogging, which is

not a term I expected to be really privy
with.

And something I'd be doing much of. But
hey, look it, here we are.

140 -something thousand people later
following our exploits.

I guess we're doing something right,
huh?

What's up, ladies?

Rick? Yes, sir.

Cole, nice to meet you. Nice to meet
you. Hey, so I take it you're the one

sent the email about the mountain lion?

Yeah, yes, sir. All right.

You want to show me the livestock?

Well, it's not here. This is my main
property here. Okay.

It's a little ways out. It's a long ways
out, actually.

So I'm going to take you over there if
you're up for a long drive.

Yeah, no, it's fine.

Honestly, I appreciate it. I need the
content for the channel anyway.

And getting to go after maybe a problem
outlying would kind of be good for my

viewers, you know. So I appreciate it.

God, it's a lot busier here than it ever
used to be. It's freaking traffic. I

would have been here a lot earlier.

Yeah, it's, you know, it's a casino
owner.

Puts in this parkway, you know, for all
the subdivisions that are going in up

there. It's, you know, it is what it is.

I know. We keep encroaching further and
further out.

That sounds good.

I mean, how far are we talking? A couple
hour drive?

Yeah, it's about four and a half, five
hours. Okay.

Good ways out there. All right.

Lahontan, kind of Lahontan Basin area?

Yeah. Yeah. Right around there.

And, you know, like I said in the email,
I'm a fan of the show.

Yeah. You know, truly. I appreciate it.
Yeah.

Just when we get out there, can you
please just do me a favor and try not to

film too much of my property? You know,
you're...

you're a married man, you know.

I'm sure the last thing you want is for
your family and everything to be all

over the internet.

So I'm a bit of a private guy. So if we
can just try and, you know, keep it a

little bit private, I'd appreciate it.
Yeah, yeah, I totally understand.

Honestly, this thing, I'm not married
anymore. I just haven't really had the

guts to take the ring off yet and, you
know, how it goes.

If I could find a way to get this one
off, it'd be off so fast and make your

head spin.

If you've got those photos that you
emailed over with the animals or

if you've got them maybe in like a
little higher definition, it's for the

channel. Everybody complains about the
quality of everything. So maybe I'll

shoot you my email and we can get those,
you know, the ones you sent with the

dead elk and the cows and everything.

Yeah, for sure. I can text those over to
you, email them to you, whatever you

need. Yeah, okay. Well, that works.

Sweet. Well, it sounds like we've got a
long -ass drive, so let's get out of

here, huh? Yes, sir.

All right. Thanks.

So All that back there That's pretty

much where we're gonna be headed into it
It's hilly country. It's rocky country.

It's where big cats like to hang out. So
That's where we're gonna go kind of

Scout today as you'll notice I Got a
rifle on me That's because we actually

have not been issued a permit yet We
applied for a depredation permit based

the ranchers, you know, claims of
livestock being taken. But state hasn't

issued one yet. So I can't actually
legally be out there hunting yet because

we're not permitted. But I got to do
this thing legal. You know, I mean,

kind of been like the entire premise of
the show, right, is doing things the

right way.

But I have never been one to do things.

The stupid way.

So. We're absolutely.

Not going in.

Completely empty handed.

So one of the big complaints.

That I had.

From the first season.

Was.

Trying to film everything.

Was a huge pain in the ass.

And.

Now. I have upgraded.

To a very cool.

POV.

body cam So now we'll be able to get
some really epic stuff Love

that hands -free, baby

Sometimes

this place just feels like it was
forgotten by time, you know

I think one of the more impressive
things with the big cats

is how incredibly strong they are even
when they don't look it. Even a small

mount lion, you know, around 70, 80
pounds can hoist triple its body

weight straight up, up into these rocks,
up a tree.

Hauling off, you know, calves and young
cattle, it's not out of the realm of

possibility at all.

I'm going to go a little further in, see
if I can locate a den or something.

Might be a good indicator where they're
hanging out.

So stay tuned.

You guys got to see this.

This is interesting.

Looks like it's dead.

Not that it's out of the ordinary to
find stuff like this out in the desert,

we are way, way out here.

So, to be honest,

I'm a little surprised.

You know, a lot of hunters, they go way
up into these rocks and stuff and they

misjudge everything and they fall.

So we'll take this with us, see if we
can't get it charged up and see what's

it.

One of the more concerning things about
this, actually, is that this is a new

phone. I've got the same charging port
on my phone, and I've got a charger back

in the truck, so I can get this thing
going.

It did not take much weather damage. I
mean, the screen's cracked a little bit,

but when I hit the power button, it
actually is giving me an indicator to

it in, so there's still electronics
working.

The reason I've got a little cause for
alarm is University of Nevada, Reno.

Had two anthropologists that went
missing just a few weeks ago.

And it's not far from this area that a
lot of people speculated they were.

There was some talk that maybe because
they were a romantic couple that the

boyfriend may have been a suspect. But
anybody that's spent any time up here

knows how dangerous it is. And you can
go up too high, take a spill, and fall

into a crevice real easy. Nobody would
ever find you.

Plus there's mine shafts all over in
this area.

People go down there all the time, kind
of heeding the warnings, and they don't

come back out.

So this makes me think that we could
potentially be onto something.

And depending on what's on this, I may
be, since I'm out here, right, I might

abandon this whole lion thing and go on
more of a search and rescue mission.

So yeah.

Just letting you know Jeremy when you
get all this footage I have no idea what

is gonna be on this by the time it's
done, but This could be for some pretty

compelling television, so stay tuned

I'm going to get him this time.

Again? Oh, yeah.

You know I'm not giving up until I catch
at least one lizard on this trip.

These guys are fast.

Well, I guess we answered the question,
who's faster than a lizard? Not like the

western fence lizards back home.

Good try, though.

Better luck next time.

What did you say about the moss again?

That's not moss. It's lichens.

It's like it.

Well, I was saying that it's got great,
incredible air quality up here for these

to be able to grow.

They only grow in good quality air.

You know, for someone so worried about
inner office romance, you sure are

getting a lot of it on camera.

Hey, come on. It's just, you know,
what's the university going to think?

Who cares what a bunch of old fuddy
-duddies in an air -conditioned office

going to say?

Well, it's more than just old fuddy
-duddies and our relationship if we had

It's more, you know, my career, this
research.

If we don't do it correctly, if we're
wrong about the theory, well, then

everything could go up in the smoke.

You know, you're always so worried about
what could go wrong.

You ever consider what could go right?

Go on, take a break.

Yeah.

Am I holding this thing as a camera
pack?

Absolutely.

Supposed to be getting landscape.

Oh, right, right, right.

It is a research trip, after all.

Sure, sure, right.

Well, you're right. I mean, it is.

We're here enjoying the adventure, you
know, with you.

I just... I don't want to lose all

this.

You know?

You know, there's been plenty of...

That

wasn't the word quite I was looking for,
but yes, there's been lots of

archaeological couples.

And what about those ghost hunters that
were married?

Okay. Ghost hunting and anthropology.

are not even in the same realm. One is a
science, and the other is debunked

theory after debunked theory after
debunked theory.

I mean, come on.

I just want our colleagues and the other
professors at the university to take me

seriously, to take us seriously.

Well, I mean, with everything we might
find out here, I think they will take us

seriously. We can get that paper turned
in.

I mean, some of what we're finding out
here is pretty groundbreaking.

You know, if we go down for this, I'm
blaming you.

Worth it.

Ah, I sure do. Check this out.

Oh, that's so exciting.

What you got?

An arrowhead.

Oh, it's so carefully made.

Look, it's got fluting.

Oh, my God, it's got fluting.

You know, if you stare at that any
harder, it's going to burst into flames.

Oh, come on.

I mean, fluting wasn't originally found
until around 11 ,000 years ago. So if

this is 20 ,000, 30 ,000 years,
according to the rings that are left

the sandstone, then this could really
short my theories on whether that's, you

know, shelter.

shelter way before we ever thought
possible.

Given some of the formations around
here, it makes me wonder if we, you

maybe the Ice Age was a little different
around here. I wonder if early man

around here went underground instead of
just wandering.

I mean, think about it. The Ice Age
wouldn't have just been about surviving

cold and surviving the fauna and flora.
It was survival in general, from

extreme hunger, from weather phenomena.

I mean...

Could you imagine if it wasn't just
finding shelter in caves, but structured

homes?

Like long -term survival.

Exactly.

If we're right about this, this could
change everything for us, Micah.

You know, I really love seeing you like
this.

Like what?

Oh, you come so alive when you're
discovering new things.

Getting to talk about your theories and
your papers.

Come on. Be professional, Micah.

Oh, oh, right. The arrowhead. Right.

Yes, the arrowhead.

I mean, look, it's not even made of the
same sandstone or rocks that are found

around here. They would have had to have
traveled miles and miles to bring this

here.

That's true. I wonder what else we can
find around here.

Yeah. Maybe there's some evidence of...

agricultural work?

Oh, that would be incredible.

Oh.

Remind me to get this in a specimen box
whenever we get back.

It belongs in a museum.

Well, I like that movie.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Well, don't walk up to it. People are
sick.

Look, this isn't... What kind of
nonsense is this?

Weird and disgusting is what it is.
Yeah, weird and disgusting is right. And

fresh. Someone recently did this.

Well, it's obviously not real. Obviously
not ancient.

Obviously disgusting.

What's that song, Teenagers Scare the
Living Shit Out of Me?

Good point.

Probably teenagers, probably drunk
college kids. Look at that freaking pile

beer cans over there.

And none of this even makes any sense.

All right,

Miss Skeptical. Oh, come on. You know
nothing pisses me off more than fake

science.

Well, I didn't catch a live lizard, but
I guess technically speaking, I did

catch a reptile.

What did you call me?

Oh, please.

I'm surprised you didn't keep that safe.

Yeah, we'll go with that.

Definitely not in my backpack.

You did.

You know I did.

You know, it's the fact that I know you
did that just... You're that hungry.

You know, lunch has been like too bad of
an idea.

I need to remember to start packing
better rations if that's the case.

Yeah, I can't live off granola bars and
trail mix.

Excuse me, those MREs were perfectly
sawdust serviceable.

Yeah, you know, if I could find a rock
or something.

Hey, that just helps you digest it.

Put some hair on your chest.

I'm not the one that needs hair on his
chest.

You would know.

At least it's a good day for this.

Yep.

Hey, Micah, check it out.

Sagebrush.

Wow!

Sagebrush! Wow!

You're killing me, Anna.

Hey, at least I didn't say vertical log
again.

You're adorable when you're ridiculous,
you know that?

Oh, come on, you're impossible.

You like it.

It's the only reason I could think you'd
be out here in the middle of nowhere

with me.

Middle of nowhere, indeed.

Put that right there.

Now you have some flowers behind your
ear.

Oh, thank you.

Now I can see them from anywhere.

I think maybe we should have brought the
orange tent.

This isn't fine.

I think I see a spot we can clear off.

Sounds good to me. High ground?

High ground. We'll set up camp over
there.

Alright. Come on.

Check it out. We've got two different
species here.

I'm really liking what I'm seeing.

Oh my god.

George.

It's a shame we can't cultivate it.
Imagine the beautiful portraits you

make with these if you could.

You know, I never considered that.

Right?

Funny. I didn't think the species grew
here on the West Coast.

Might as well get moving again.

Oh, great.

Now we're getting stalked by coyote
noises and weird... Wrestling outside of

tent in the smallest tent you can find.
You told me to be economical about this.

It's just wild animals, goodness
gracious.

Oh, and it's supposed to make me feel
better whenever we don't have anything

get rid of the wild animals.

All right, I'll get them out of here.

They're full moon tonight, they're
active.

Oh, please, let me know it's not
really... Just keeping you on your toes.

More like on my ass.

If it turns out to be false, I'll be put
you on that in a minute.

You jerk.

What? I'm Cowpocalypse.

I'm here to haunt you.

Where did you get that?

What?

It was just outside.

What do you mean it was just outside? It
was just outside the tent, like five

feet away.

We cleared this entire site.

What do you mean it was just five feet
away?

It was just five feet. I'm sure
something just dragged it over here.

What would drag over a completely dry
cow skull?

I'll be right back.

Don't go out there.

We got to get it away from the tent.

Oh, God.

Stay put.

I will be right back.

Micah, that's not funny.

Look, now you've completely ruined the
tent.

Oh. Oh.

So you've ruined the tent for a cow
joke.

Micah, that's not funny anymore. Stop
it.

Micah?

very active mine community.

What do we have here?

So

he

got a clean cut on the neck there.

That's a paw.

Clearly the work of poachers.

That's a bear. All right.

We don't even have black bears this far
out into the desert.

So somebody hauled it up here clearly
and dumped it.

But that's definitely not an animal.

That is clear as day.

Somebody cut that.

It's a really sharp instrument. You can
see.

Sawed it right off.

Took the paw.

This shit makes me sick.

Guys like me, the true hunters, we've
been

anti -poacher, you know, since our
upbringing because

this is the kind of shit that people who
aren't hunters, they get it confused

with and they think that, you know.

This is what guys like me do.

This is absolutely not. This is what
guys like me want to fight against.

What a shame.

One thing about Nevada You're really
really cold in the

morning and then you can get really
really hot in the afternoons

Well, that's not an interesting

structure there Seeing

a lot of things while I've been out here
but

I can 100 % say I have never seen
whatever the hell this is supposed to

Holy shit.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, that's a human
skull.

Well, Jeremy, I don't know if we ever
thought we'd have something like this to

put on camera, but it's too interesting
to not include.

There's a pretty big population of
Native Americans up here. I would

you know, maybe this is some kind of a
burial site.

I know it's probably drawing to viewers
that there's...

human remains hanging from it, but many
of the different cultures around here,

they have different ways of kind of
honoring their dead, so you know, who am

to judge, right?

Not that I'm not going to call this in,
because

local law enforcement may not know about
this one, especially since we're so far

out here.

I may have to get a hold of that rancher
too and let him know, because he may

have...

He may have tribe squatting on his
place. I don't know maybe he knows about

I I would assume he wouldn't be hanging
human body parts from a total structure,

but You know again Well

our journey continues

Remain

this is definitely definitely where I
think

somebody might be if they did somehow
survive

okay

definitely been in here before.

That's not natural mind stuff.

So, I got up high enough, get a little
bit of service, contacted Lahontan

Sheriff.

There's no way they're going to be able
to send anybody out.

We're way too far out, and they're way
too understaffed.

So the plan is, they want to come take a
look at the human remains tomorrow.

They're asking me not to touch it,
obviously.

They asked if I'd be willing to just
stay up here overnight, which is fine.

Because quite honestly, if that cat did
this, we got a man -eater in our hands.

And he's going to come back at night. So
it's going to give me at least an

opportunity to see if he's coming and
going from that mine.

Yeah, so anyway, the plan is I'm going
to stay up here tonight.

Just kind of keep watch.

If it is in fact that cat, I'll get out
of here.

I'll go get all my stuff to be prepared
for a real hunt, and we'll come back out

here and we'll take him down.

If he's coming in out of there, it's a
den, so there's no way he's going to

abandon it at this point, especially if
it's taking food in there. So stay

tuned.

I can't say this if this ends up turning
into a missing persons episode

we're gonna have a hit on our hands
especially if I can

find him up here alive

I know they said not to go in and
disturb any other remains or anything,

not, but that cell phone footage has a
girl and a guy,

and there's no way that that foot
belonged to that guy.

And I just feel like it wouldn't be me
if I didn't at least take one more

look through there, see if I can't
locate him.

You know and then tomorrow.

I'll let the sheriff's office do their
thing But I'm gonna take one more quick

walk through there but I'm gonna go
hands -free so I'm gonna put my helmet

on and We'll see what we can find if
anything At

least all know you know that I gave it
my my best shot here So especially if if

the guy's still alive in there is no way
I'm gonna build live with myself if I

don't go check so Wish me luck

Fuck that.

Did you hear that?

Fucking hell.
