    I have to give your guy john some serious props, I know why you guys do it but for someone to tag along and his job is to record the hunt is incredible to hike that kind of terrain and continue day in and day out. You guys have quite a loyal friend. Thanks John for all you do to bring us Corey and donnie's hunts. You have our respects. I think I can speak for everyone. Damn man you're appreciated

      I'm guessing John is a paid cameraman. It's his job, while he's doing it. Not saying he doesn't deserve props for putting up with everything, including the "dad jokes". LOL

  • @ghaugsness
    @ghaugsness 3 года назад

    You guys are definitely rocking it. I gotta say John is the man when it comes to humping all that gear up and down those drainages, all to capture the hunt that Corey and Donnie are doing. He's got my vote for one of the best cameramen out there for sure!

  • @timrussell6150

    This episode definitely portrays how tough it gets during post rut sometimes. The tuff days make the good days even sweeter.

  • @farismarji4290
    @farismarji4290 3 года назад +5

    I appreciate you guys showing us the difficult and slow days as well! Not every video is a highlight reel but it definitely shows how much hard work is put in to reach success!

  • @papalesso
    @papalesso 3 года назад

    I have to agree with another comment that the camera man deserves props. He's the quiet person behind the scenes. Climbing the mountains, carrying the camera equipment, making sure the batteries are charged, the list could go on and on I'm sure. So props the camera people. May seem like a dream job to some but it's a tough job.

    These are much needed for off-season preparation. Makes me remember the type of shape a guy needs to be in to cover that kind of ground. Not saying a guy has to, but if I'm traveling the distance to get there and spend all the money it takes to participate, I sure don't want my physical ability to keep me from finding elk.

  • @robertkrepps9507

    "What Goes Up Must Come Down" Hope your knees are holding up! Hunting is an adventure. then comes the grind. I love the dedication to the 3-P's Persistence, Patience and Perserverance. Great effort. keep up the search. See you tomorrow.

  • @bigelk7x7
    @bigelk7x7 3 года назад

    I have a ton of respect for John. The guy just keeps trucking without a tag. I've been there and it isn't always easy to tag along and put in the work when it isn't your tag. When it comes together though and you see the effort that you and the others put in, it makes everything worth it.

    I need to quit waiting until 10:30 or later at night to start watching these with crying babies....sometimes I can't tell if it's the baby screaming or Corey bugling and that is getting me into trouble with the wife..

  • @rodgermacfarlane8766
    @rodgermacfarlane8766 3 года назад

    Steep and Deep! I always love getting to the top and seing the awesome view that goes on for miles and miles with no sign of civilization. It makes the climb worth it. Beautiful country!

  • @justinfry6724
    @justinfry6724 3 года назад

    I love watching your videos because they depict hunting accurately. You rarely (if ever) will be able to go out and get a bull in 30 minutes like the all the hunting videos make it seem. you guys show the struggle and hard work that actually goes into the hunt and it helps me remember the work it takes to be successful!

  • @danielcarrales2911
    @danielcarrales2911 3 года назад

    I’m in awe of what you do. I’m in awe of what you have to put up with. I’m in awe of how long you do it for. I’m in awe of the country you do it in. And I’m especially in awe of who you do it for like all those kids who for one reason or other have had serious life threatening complications!!!
    Great job guys!!!
    Thank you n May GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN ALL THAT YOU DO!!!

    My favorite thing about elk hunting?.... it sure does humble you. Never have I worked SO hard, to come out empty handed...(only in meat though) you always come out with great stories and memories regardless!!!! Great video guys!

  • @colei9501
    @colei9501 3 года назад

    Llamas are amazing. They make hiking in the backcountry look easy. Having to hike down and back up higher would definitely make me picky too. Keeps the series going too!

  • @jeremytafelmeyer5194
    @jeremytafelmeyer5194 3 года назад

    I am so glad to have this content right now. This has motivated me to start rucking training. Last year I put in nearly 100 miles prior to elk season, without that would have been sucking wind opening weekend. This content in the heart of winter is a good push to get dialed in early. Thanks!!

    Hiking that steep country is rough hard work and sometimes makes you loose motivation and focus, but gotta remember to just take everything in. It's about the journey, not always the destination. Way to put in the work!

    So I told the Derrière joke to my 14 yr old son, he usually loves dad jokes and I’ve been sharing Donnie’s Jokes with him th least couple weeks, I figuredhe’d get a kick out of it, especially since fart jokes are kind of in the wheelhouse for a 14 yr old, sadly he actually groaned at this one, Keep ‘em coming Donnie.
