Who are Kidd and Harry Youren on Mountain Men? Wiki-Bio, facts.

The Youren brothers are last in the line of a generation of frontiersmen stretching back to the pioneer days. Even though the life of a frontiersman is slowly edging out of fashion, the Youren brothers would not have it any other way. Not only that but the brothers hope to inspire a new generation of people to learn the tricks of the trade. While life as a frontiersman is filled with dangers, challenges, and many life-and-death situations, the Youren brothers thrive in such adrenaline-filled contests. In this article, we take a closer look at the wiki-bio of Kidd and Harry Youren.

A family of hunters:

The men in the Youren family line have always been frontiersmen. Harry and Kidd are the 6th generation of hunters. The Youren family came to Idaho and began hunting in the 1860s. From a young age, both Kidd and Harry Youren were taught the ways of frontiersmen. Harry has been out hunting ever since 1 year of age. Their father Dusty took young Harry to hunt even before he could walk. A hound hunter, Harry is a houndsman, cowboy, and a big game guide. However, for all his success as a frontiersman, Hary is proud of his dogs and can work with them.

Not the only brothers in the family:

While Harry and Kidd rose to fame following their appearances in the reality TV series Mountain Men, the two are not the only brothers in the family. Besides the two brothers, there is Matt Youren who is not a big fan of reality TV. However, the three brothers made regular appearances in the reality TV series, Way Out West. All three brothers were featured on the show. The series which ran for two seasons featured three boisterous, fun-loving families of outfitters who have been living, laughing, and competing with each other for three generations. The series aired on TruTv but was canceled eventually.

The Youren Experience:

The Youren brothers are committed to providing a professional hunting experience. The brothers own Youren Outfitters and Youren Hunting, where they offer to take hunters into the Sawtooth Range to hunt bears and cougar. As their website reads,

“The Youren experience is not about fancy lodges, five-star cuisine, or recreational activities at a ranch; it’s all about hunting and filling your tag.”

While both the Youren brothers have battle scars from the hunt, they are proud of it and are often seen flaunting their experience. While Harry is one of the best hunters in all of Idaho, Kidd is the youngest licensed outfitter in all of Idaho.
