- In this video my son Trapper gets himself a nice bull, this is a public land hunt but is by permit only. Meaning only a limited amount of hunters are allowed. The weather was cold and the elk were numerous.
Trapper, you are one lucky and blessed kid to have such a great father.
Great stuff, love seeing fellow horseman getting after it in the woods 👊🏾
Man! That opening weekend of 2020 in MT was bitter cold. Nice bull.
It was but it sure makes the hunting good, it’s amazing how much the weather plays into it all.
Trapper sitting in the tent looked like he finally realized high schools over and life begins! Great video!
Awesome hunt! What an adventure. You guys put the time and hard work in and it paid off.
Thanks, Appreciate your comment.
Awesome hunting, thanks for sharing, lucky, he’s got the ponies 🤣
Which state you hunting in, lot of elk in one herd
MT, there was a bunch of elk but that's not the norm. The storm and cold weather had them bunched up and out feeding a lot
wozzers, more elk in that herd than in the Eagle Cap wilderness, E.Oregon! Trapper is a man of few words, congrats on a great bull.
That’s the ideal elk hunt right there! Late season, snow, and horseback! Then head to AZ to rope!
Good hunt guys, congratulations on the bull
Definitely raising him right!!! Football, horses, hunting!!! One blessed young man and one blessed dad!!! Congrats on the bull 👍
Thanks, I do feel blessed to do what we do and to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends.
@@406highlanders I hear ya!
Y'all see the cow with the collar on at 12:25 right after the shot?
Wow . Don't see that many elk like that wow . Thanks for the video
I hit like before I watched the video!
Great video boys just try keeping the bull in the frame of the camera.
Thanks, and yes I was on and off there for a bit, thought about editing it out but decided to leave it. I'm definitely not an expert at this but admire people who are, I believe its more challenging than the actual hunting part. There's a lot that can go wrong. Again thanks for watching
Doesn't get any better than that.memories for a lifetime
how bout them elk!!! my goodness
Nice shot Trapper taking that nice bull, and a great hunt guys in gods country👍🏻
Thanks, appreciate it
a lots of elk there
Wow, looks like a scene from Jerimiah Johnson hauling that elk out at the end. Great video, what a hunt.
Thanks, appreciate your comment.
lots of spikes in that herd, got a good outlook on future bulls there!
Yes there was, always a good sign to see a lot of young bulls.
Nicely done
Nice video
Great video excellent job
Have never seen an elk herd like that hunting in SW Colorado.
That’s not the normal for me either, the cold weather was a big part of it. Thanks for watching
Really like that tipi tent that looks cool. Well done on the hunt.
Thanks, yes that tipi tent has worked well for us. 6 man Kifaru, perfect for two people.
I guided many years ! But what counts is the time best spent together, one day we'll be gone and these boys will have something to reflect upon and carry on !! Just recently lost my Dad, believe me, you both will " NEVER" forget a single moment ! Awesome to see someone who knows what they're doing, great job, Deano in Southern Colorado.
Sorry for your loss of your dad, not easy. And yes the memories and experiences is what counts in the end. Thanks for your comment
Trapper put a great shot on him, big congrats! Man you guys live in Gods country! Love how you hunt! Really am enjoying your channel!
Thanks, appreciate it
What tent and stove is that perfect for what I need
It’s a Kifaru 6man with their medium stove. Just right for two people, especially if the weather is nasty. I’ve had it ten years and it’s been through some rough trips
thumbs up done 👍👍california
Awesome Bull guys congratulations!!
Man That is serious, Cold Cold Cold. Well done . Mad respect.
Thanks, it was a little chilly but the hunting was great.
@@406highlanders You guys are bad to the bone!
U fellers R top notch .
Thanks, appreciate your comment
Great meat, and great memories! Good job!
I would have want the big bull in that heard
Yeah, that was the bull we were after but in the heat of the moment thats not the one that got shot. We still laugh about it now.
You take what you can get when the herd is spooked , and he got a 6 point just not the biggest one .
Cool footage. Thanks for sharing. There was a 2nd bull just be hind the bull you were filming at 4:57. Great shooting
Good spot, yeah there was a pile of bulls in that herd. Thanks for watching
Great video. Watching from Oz. Looks super cold. Amazing footage of the country and the Elk herd. Magic!!
Thanks, appreciate your kind words!!
Try great falls Mt belt mts
Nice video
I named my dog Trapper !
Lot of work to make a gut shot. Should have been several follow up shots as soon as the elk cleared. Go to the range more. Sloppy Hunter.
It’s our job as hunters to be humane efficient and ethical
That shot hit the back portion of both lungs , dude . The gut is lower and further back , and if it had been gut shot it would have hunched down in the back legs . A little bit further forward would have been better but it was dead meat with that shot placement .
Must have not seen the two bigger bulls before he shot uh ?
I was wondering when someone would comment on this, good spot. So here is how it went down, we did see one bull that was considerably bigger when we first spotted them but we needed to move in closer. Right as we got into the range we wanted a small bull busted us and put the herd into high alert. Trapper was getting set up with his rifle and I with my camera, I got that set and quickly looked through my binos and said "is he the one on the top?" , he thought I said he is the one on the top. A little mis-communication but none the less he got a good bull and most importantly a great experience. Thanks for watching.
@@406highlanders yes he is a good bull awesome hunt I’ll be looking for the next videos 👍 his football game took me back in time when I played in the snow
Awesome hunt.
What caliber is your rifle?
Thanks, .270 Winchester
@@406highlanders
Nice. What particular load took the elk?
@@williammcclelland6789 I believe he used factory Hornady ammo with 140 grain bullet
@@406highlanders
Sweet. I am a big fan of a 140 grain projectile from the .270 Win. Not quite the sectional density of a 6.5 mm, but more than a 7mm with plenty of velocity. Great setup.
Excellent shot, great bull congratulations young man!
Great job! Welcome to the brotherhood of real elk hunters!!
Congratulations to Trapper! Horses, mountains, a tent with a stove and wearing a cowboy hat all make for my kind of hunt. I really like that he took a good rest to make his shots. What cartridge did Trapper use?
Trapper was using a .270 Winchester, The cowboy hat was his grandfathers who passed away before Trapper was born. We have a video coming out soon that Trapper shoots a nice whitetail buck with his great-grandfathers 30-30, thanks for watching
@@406highlanders Great cartridge and great story related to the hat. 🤠
Doesn’t look like it helped any with shot placement
@@Tymannosourus No one’s perfect.
horses are a key to this kind of hunting, allowing you the ability to get closer to the elk, and cover distances, not to mention, not having to pack it out by hand.
I’d like to do that sometime
nice bull , but need to teach the boy how to shoot
Thanks but I'd like to hear in what way he needed to improve his shooting, just curious.
looked like a gut shot on the right side
with the first shot. Things happen but open country inside 300 yards should be no problem if you can't hit a pie plate all day at 300 yards you don't have any business shooting at that distance.
You need to work on your shooting if you're going to hunt with a gun. I kill them faster with a bow.
Get over yourself…. The kid did great!
I respect your opinion, as I hope you do mine. I've taken a lot of bulls with a bow and of all of them only one has gone down in it's tracks. A broadhead is a efficient tool but it takes time for animal to bleed out and in my opinion that bull my son shot would have expired in about the same timeframe if shot with an arrow. From his first shot to the time the bull went down was a minute and ten seconds, I trimmed a little out just out of respect for some viewers.
@@pb303solopatriot4 im your dad
No your not
that's some terrible hunting ethics, I would never shoot into a heard of elk. Big thumbs down for me. that's how you unintentionally injure an animal..
You know I talked to my son about that very issue, he’s young and doesn’t have the experience that you or I do but I’ll stand up for my son and tell you he has more ethics than a lot of the hunters out there. Thanks for watching and believe me we do our best to do things right
Hey Trapper! You picked the biggest bull out of 300+ elk. Then you waited until he cleared the rest of the elk and then threaded the needle and hit him right in the center of his body! That’s not luck, that’s skill, then I’m sure your guide/father taught you at the range!
Trapper you did all that like a man because you are a man! Don’t let anyone discourage you because you could not have done that any better! People that wouldn’t have taken that shot wouldn’t have gotten the elk because maybe they weren’t good enough? So what does that make them? Besides hungry. They have no right to critique you! I’ve taken many surgical shots because I can and I’ve practiced. You did not shoot into that herd. You waited until that bowl clearedI don’t care what it looks like to someone else my ethics are between my own shoulder blades and I’ll be hanged if I will let anyone criticize that!
Congratulations!
Your friend, Roger
PS Not bragging, just the facts.
I’ve taken many, many youth and adults as well on successful hunts especially for their first the game. The first thing I always do is make sure that they can shoot! I do that at the range or make them bring me their targets. If they can’t group their shots then I will take them. 80% of rifle elk hunters are unsuccessful. I taught and guided five of my children to successful first year elk hunts. Do the math and you’ll see that is impossible without the correct guide. Trapper your father is to be commended! God bless him and you too as well!
PSS the only thing harder than guiding someone new to the sport is filming it! Great job on the DYI photo documentary!
@@rogereshelman4893 Well said! Nice shooting trapper you and your dad got it done, congrats
His ethics were solid. He didn't shoot until the bull was clear. Same for the follow up shot. His old man taught him well. Armchair QB someone who needs it.
What a hunt!! Looks like northern NM tres piedras
It's Montana.
Thanks, we were in MT but the area your talking must be nice country
