Glad to hear the sawmill operator will be “ all right”.
I hear though that he is only half the man he used to be!!
And a little SAW ... ok im leaving stage right Donny you up next .
Thanks for dropping it early. Just finished watching Jessie’s episode, shoveled some snow and came back in to this!
As a rifle elk hunter (my only opportunities so far) its incredible to see the number of near misses in archery hunting. what a beautiful and frustrating sport. Props to you and Donnie. Its inspiring to see your humility and passion. I love this series.
I feel your pain. Done exactly the same thing. Hard to describe that sinking feeling when you realise that there is just millimetres between success and failure.
Here we go. Sitting in whitetail stand watching this with my headphone on. Happy Thanksgiving
Thats crazy. Im doing the exact same thing. I've only got about another hour because we're having Thanksgiving supper at 4. Happy Thanksgiving brother
He asked for a “funny” dad joke. “Your jokes are as bad as my shooting.” Classic Donnie -Corey interactions.
2 years in a row of playing the game of inches. This whole destination elk series has been such a roller coaster. I’m rooting for you Corey keep your head up!!!!
Just wanted to thank Corey and Donnie for sitting down in this video and giving us an insight into what they eat on a long day and week of hunting, it gave me a pretty good idea of what to take on my over the counter high country mule deer hunt this year. One of the best series to gather information that I haven't thought of to put into my hunting assortment. Thank you guys and keep up the incredible videos.
Love these bow hunts, great way to learn about bow hunting elk! Wish I had these 20 years ago!!!
Donnie told his best “dad” jokes yet, and hey, at least you made a perfect shot on a grouse! 😀
Corey, great hunt and call in session, sorry Murphy was with you, but good to see you still smiling.
HELL TODAY I MISSEST A WILD TURKERY With MY BOW , FROM ,25 YARDS !!! I JUGDED HIM WRONG ,( FIGURING HE WAS SO BIG COULDN',T MISS ) WRONG,!!!!
This year in 6 days my son and me walked 84 miles were in elk everyday but all his hard work payed off he got his first bull could not be more proud of him with blisters on are feet he never complained said I need a break I’m tired nothing he had no quit . We lived on mountain house and tigers blood and yeti water and snickers candy bars and that was are motion for success👍
Incredible hunt, guys. Greatly appreciate your tenacity, dedication, and commitment to showing these hunts as they happened. I firmly believe the public appreciates accounts of reality more than a constant barrage of kill shots, which is totally unrealistic. Thank you for your commitment to showing what is real, successes and failures. Thankful for your fight to maintain positive attitudes throughout!
Corey learn on the job "pick it up as you go" Donnie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great way to start the day..Happy Thanksgiving everyone, thanks again Elk101
Happy thanksgiving. Spending it with kids and new friends at elk101
Lmao the dad jokes are on point! It’s all in the delivery!
I like that you show all the work that goes in to the shot that barely touches a branch. True bow hunting! Everything has to align for it to work. Everything is earned. That's why we love it! Keep it up.
Happy thanksgiving everyone! I love this early time on my day off! Shootin elk, (hopefully a new dad joke 🤣) football, family, and food! What a good day!
Happy thanksgiving! Great way to start the day 👍
Don't be so disappointed 1/16th of an inch is all that made the difference , this was still an exciting hunt to watch , thanks for sharing it with us all.
To see you smiling/ laughing makes a person know the passion for your success of harvesting elk all comes both good and today.
Tomorrow a new day of adventures and fun.
That was some steep country, enjoyed seeing Corey and Donnie back
That's what's up perfect timing hour long episode just enough time to watch before I go fest thanks elk101 you guys are awesome.
Best dad joke my dad told me after I missed a nice buck and was kicking myself over “IF’S “. If I had done this different if I had done that different. He told me can’t live life by if’s son because if my aunt had nuts she’d be my uncle. Hope this brings a smile and a new way to look at “IF’S. Love listening and watching all your videos and learning more and more. Thanks
Thank you for showing the reality of a miss like this. It happens to everyone and I think it is great to show that not every arrow sent towards a bull ends in a kill. Love this show!!!
That looked like a ton of fun being that steep. I love stuff like that. Happy thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! Can’t wait to see another one hit the ground!
I guess you can be thankful for a clean miss. Great footage again. A game of fractions
The blading and dark horns on that bull were awesome!! That was a stud....
Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Today I'm thankful to live in a country where I'm free to hunt, and there's tons of public land. Not so much here in Kentucky, but it's out there. You just have to drive to get it. And thanks to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Because of them there are elk here in Kentucky again!
An early episode! Heck yeah
The calling and close encounters that this series shares are just breath taking...LOVE IT!
oh man! such a nice bull and such a heartache. The good thing is we got to hear a great joke...loved it!
Ok Corey. You’re officially assigned the joke telling. Donnie, you’re out
Damn! So close at least not wounded and a long trail.
you got into elk, that's more than some can say. successful is not defined by just harvesting an elk. you are entertaining thousands of people. because of you guys I am planning my first archery hunt for 2020
listening to your comments at the end of the clip reminded me of how I've felt when I come so close and get nailed by a game of inches. You are absolutely right, it is deflating. I am a solo hunter and that feeling of failure to connect can drive a hunter right out of the woods. You are so fortunate to have the brotherhood you have with Donnie and the others you hunt with to help steel your heart and keep you going.. I love your content. It helps knowing I am not alone in my thoughts even though I am alone in the woods.. Stay strong and fill that freezer.. :)
"ALL RIGHT"🤣🤣
Quotes of the show:
Corey: 40:59 ”archery, bow hunting is a game of inches”
Donnie: “fractions”.......so true!
Happy Thanksgiving my fellow hunters!
Those mountains are breathtaking...never gets old!! And the screaming bulls just add to the majesty. Awesome!!
This episode is very realistic and illustrates the failures hunters go through. The growth mindset needed to power through those frustrating times separates success and failure.... with the occasional grouse, Donny dad joke and Corey saw mill joke mixed in for therapy! This episode is as real as it gets. You all are still blessed beyond measure. Keep grinding!
well look at it this way, still got a grouse to eat.
Due to put one on the ground
elk hunting humbles you.....it is what makes us keep digging deeper to overcome.
Thanksforgiving us this series with a new entry to look forward to each night. Corey no need to describe the feeling, if you archery hunt elk for any length of time you surely have experienced the same emotions. We would all like to be successful when we invest that much time and effort but look at the bright side, slow down look around and appreciate the amazing country you are surrounded by and the opportunity to be in elk if you are willing to put in the work. It’s obvious you willing because you guys are working your butts off. Good luck
Let’s see if there’s another yeti 210 going out the door.
Just in and after watching the opening titles I've got to ask that hissing bull close up have i missed that hunt ? Think it's Corey standing close ? Right back to this vid . In taking that shot i think it was the bendover of that stump that took your shot off , if it had been just a stump i belive your shot would of hit it's target. For each miss i belive is your deposit for the next gift ?
poulsonarrow hasn’t been in a video yet
What an awesome video. It sure make the hair on the back of your neck standup when a big bull bugles. The first time that I heard a bull bugle in the wide, scared me to death. It is a sound and a feeling that is heard to describe when experiencing it. Thanks for sharing.
Tough break Corey! At least you didn't wound him. That's why it's called hunting and not killing. Great job playing him in like that. Loving the scenery!
Heartbreak! it is hard not to think about the what might have been. Keep grinding you will put the smack down on one! Great showcase of the ups and downs of elk hunting.
Great Dad jokes, Close shot on a mature bull, and this "elk hunt turned into a grouse hunt", was fun to watch. Thank you!
The highs and lows of chasing elk! Hard work beats talent when talent does work hard. I’m confident you will tag out because you work harder than most other people to punch a tag. Keep grinding!
Its awesome to listen tp Corey explain the route to get to the elk, using terrain features, wind and thermals to get to a good position.Not always straight line distance. Can't wait to use these lessons learned next year on my first trip;
I have felt the pain of a deflected arrow. Lots of miles and elevation gain got you in position for the shot. Excellent tips and more than one dad joke in this episode. Love it
Courts joke was by far the best of the series yet! What a bummer outcome, but fantastic experience. I’m glad it wasn’t me. I might have ground tested my bow!
"You are your own biggest critic." Mistakes can be devastating to one's mental confidence, or a learning opportunity to prosper during future opportunities. Thanks for the Dad Joke to lift the spirits Donnie!
Both Dad jokes were top notch. Thanks for sharing your daily meal pack.
Man that was intense, so much work to get that opportunity, what a rollercoaster ride.
Corey, don't be so hard on yourself. It happens to everyone. Kudos to you putting in the work. It's what you learned from it (nothing you could do about that log) that makes you a better hunter. Looking forward to you finding the next big bull!
Absolutely loved this episode. The courage and drive that is shown is unbelievable and only something you get to see when one is driven to that point of failure. Great hunt! Thank you
The garbage man joke is extra special Donnie! I work in the trash business. I’ll be using that one for sure😁👍🏻
What beautiful and rugged country! Hardcore. By the way love the Mountain Ops. Keep going guys
It's easy to get down on yourself after a miss. It happened to me this year. Your drive and determination is outstanding!!!!
I am enjoying this years shows... you guys get after it and deserve everything you get! Keep after it.
Great video. Tough miss! Looking forward to the next one!
Bwahahahaha, intense joke Corey, was not thinking we were getting a joke out of that.
Got to love that bugle berry they sound just like elk. Now that was funny. I got to get me some more of that stuff.
Thanks for the video. I definitely need to get in better shape. You guys are beast and go into crazy terrain.
That calling sequence and strategy was incredible! Such a tough miss! So awesome to see you guys in your element though!
3000 vertical feet and 5 miles is a long way to go for road hunting. Holy cow you guys are crazy. But I'd give just about anything to spend a day in the woods with you taking notes and learning from some of the greats.
Crazy steep and beautiful country. Tough break on that stump. It's good to see you guys are human like the rest of us. I learn new stuff every episode.
Love your hunts and videos. Great work. We recently moved from Florida and are looking forward to getting after the Elk, your videos have us fired up. What a great state
man...some tough breaks but great learning opportunities for us viewers. Thanks again Corey, for sharing the lows and the highs of bow hunting elk.
At least you got into some grouse. Randy would say it's a grouse hunt and if we're lucky we might see some elk.😀
Was really rooting for you on that big boy! Stuff happens...onto the next
Well timed dad joke for sure! Hitting a branch and missing because of it is a hard pill to swallow as you did so much right to get to that point and all the work put in to just fail is so deflating. Been there myself but if it were easy it wouldn’t be so much fun as well
Thank you for showing the hunt. Such an encouragement. We all have done it (minus 3 miles). Love the series
I get how disappointing a miss like that can be, because unfortunately I have plenty of experience. I'm just glad that you're willing to show us the real hunt, not just the successful episodes. Keep them coming!!
Dad's tell the best jokes. Anything that dad says is treasured because you'll remember that forever!
Amazing GRIT! It will all come together I’m sure.
The dad jokes are great reminder to not take it too seriously. Look forward to seeing the rest of your season!
Both of you are in rare form today, its cool to hear you both letting the jokes fly. Hold your head high corey youll get back on track, after as long as you been hunting these things just happen. Once again awesome video, thanks for another fabulous elk hunt!
love the information of food you that you guys have to get you through the days.
Keep your head up C. Hunting. You did everything right. Success!!!
Geez Corey! Maybe you need to borrow Jessi's pink fetched arrows....cause she knows how to finish haha! All joking aside....the stars will align and you will punch your tag!👊👊👊
Randy would definitely be proud of you on the grouse. And that's a tuff break hitting the log but I'm sure you'll pull it all together. Great dad joke Donnie!
Archery hunting is game of fractions of inches. This needs to be a LAW for all archery hunters. Incredible clime and crazy bugle play and that shoot was perfect.
Pretty tough after all the hiking steep terrain. No words to help make it okay. Good luck
I love this video series because you show so many details of the whole day and all the success and failure.
Thanks for all you guys do. It actually doesn't just provide entertaining content but is motivating. I am healthier today then I have been because of these shows and my plans to go out and hunt this coming summer. Thanks guys
Nice being able to hike around the mountain to be able to use the wind and find the elk you set out to find. Great job.
I still think it's something how you pin pointed where that bull was and made a stalk to have an opportunity at the same bull. That's awesome! Better luck on the next one. Thanks for sharing!
One of the greatest mature bull elk pursuits I have ever seen, from the initial game plan at the base of the mountain to the final approach, step by step perfection, calling, communication and shooter positioning relative to the bulls attitude and location was legendary. Right shot at the right moment, smart bulls make their luck sometimes! Just as awesome as a kill shot, because it illustrates the fine line of survival in the wild for the hunter and the hunted! You guys are legendary elk hunters, thanks for sharing the passion!
Man!! That's a crazy one! My heart was thumping like I was there! Talk about game of inches, more like fractions of inches! If it makes you feel any bit better, and I don't think it would me, but it all least shows us that even the best elk hunters can go through bad steaks! I know you don't look at yourselves as professionals, but we do, and your still one of the people I look up to and learn from! I know your gonna break that steak, and I can't wait to see it! As always, thanks so much for sharing!
Great hunt and a whole lot of elevation. The one bugle point on the rock, I was in awe of the background scenery. Archery is indeed a game of inches or 1/16 of an inch. We aren't perfect but can only learn and move on. Y'all are all a beast for the hike you made. Can't wait to see the next episode.
I have always tried to explain the highs and the lows of archery hunting to my wife. This shed some light on it for her to realize how close it can be but how perfect it needs to be to all come together!
It’s all good!! If the world champ can’t get it done it just shows why it’s a 14% success rate for archery elk out here in the west. Thanks for being so honest humble and awesome.
Shots like that are tuff mentally. But guys that can come back from that are the real deal in my book. Props for showing that, a lot of people edit that out. 👍
Thanks for putting those miles on so we could witness those vocal interactions! Awesome!!
wood chip shot. + or - a few degrees rotation. Mighty close!
"his right side was left." Nice one Donnie
So close - truly a game of fractions of inches - that is the sport - no embarrassment - you didn’t quit on him
