Three constants in this video…1. Every bugle includes a chuckle. 2. Every elk response includes a smile and camera nod. 3. Every elk response includes a finger point from cameraman to where he thinks it’s at. 😂😂😂 I love it! Go get e’m!
I was thinking the same thing, that's one way to let other hunters know that you're a hunter is to chuckle it with every single bugle. Lol
Over doing the calling, jmo
Reading that…I had to chuckle..
@@mikielyke called a bull into range. Doesn’t seem like overcalling to me but I don’t know much lol
Ygè we free fr hi j ferry ferry ffoī the referred
To solve your issue with the elk coming to a different spot. I learned a great deal from our guide. And I’ve used this tactic for hunting turkeys with friends and it’s almost always a done deal. He taught us to have the hunter positioned 30 yards ahead of the caller then when the bull doesn’t have line of sight he would call in the exact direction of the hunter, But as the bull got closer he would shift 20 yards to the left or right. This way the bull closes the distance while keeping his attention not so focused on where the hunter is so he’s not picked off.
As a private land owner in prime elk country, thank you for respecting it. We allow ours to be hunted by the public but we have had issues in the past of gates left open letting our cattle out or Forrest cattle in. Cut fences when the gates are locked. People making new roads. All the shenanigans during the hunting season. It’s definitely gotten better in the last decade thanks to people like you. Still can’t leave private property signs in reach or they disappear. Gotta have ladders and hang them high.
I got two young boys that are really good at climbing ladders they are 8 and 5 years old and work harder than most in their 20's. Just kidding but we would help ya if we lived closer with out a problem. Thanks for opening your land for the public to enjoy.
In Colorado you’re supposed know where you’re at, at all times posted or not.
Thanks for allowing the public on your property!!
A man of honor is the man of integrity; he guards every word and action against falsehood.
Can i talk to you for a few minutes about your vehicle's extended warranty?
This dude hits us with that same goofy smile and nod every time he hears an elk bugle 😂
Was thinking the exact same thing! That’s great!
It make the video more funnier
Where i come from we call him goofy as hell. Lol
It's hilarious
And hits him back with a chuckle, every. single. time. 😂
Cut back on the chuckles, a nice young bull bugle is sometimes the best thing when calling. Not every bull wants to fight the baddest bull on the mountain. Other than that pl for elk is always a fun time.
The vocalizations of Elk give me chills. Almost as much as a Turkey gobble
Why is a turkey gobble so chilling? Especially if they keep getting closer. Each time is more intense.
That’s hunting gentlemen. I’m glad to see that you have restraint from shooting a bull that could’ve been an illegal shot. Lots of people probably would’ve taken that shot.
Also a lot of people aren’t filming a RUclips channel with 100s of thousands of followers lol
@@cmiller504 also no one has to say it’s private at the hump ! Not one of us would have knew ! So there’s that Leroy
@@cmiller504 could have just shot and never said a word, go to sleep 💤
@Ben Smith mam you can not shoot on private without permission
@Ben Smith thank you for understanding MAM
The hunts are always great. He was in the kill zone. Great footage. So you didn't make a shot because of ethics. That's what makes THP so good. The kill isn't the means to an end. It's the adventure, the game. Anyone can shoot animals at a farm. That's why you have devoted followers. They experience the same feeling of adventure, the hunt, comradery the memories.
You said it perfectly!
I really enjoy Ben’s hunts on this channel. More times then not him an Zack find themselves in the right spot at the right time.
Doug out here army crawling in open country major props
Been waiting on this all day! Left us on a cliff lastnight 😂
Zach has gotta be his toughest critic. Honest perspective tho. Nice work guys.
You guys are a fantastic example of good sportsmanship. It’s clear that you are all having full running around those mountains. Not every hunting video should be a shooting video, I love the footage you’re getting of the mountains and hiking. This will be my first season whitetail hunting, I’m learning so much from your channel.
I agree, having the caller behind the hunter 30 yards or so seems to be the best strategy. In any case, your videos are true "hunting" videos and I admire and appreciate your hunting ethics. That's why I am a devoted fan of your channel.
"this one's probably going to hurt...forever." Wiser words have not been spoken.
The suspense after last nights video.. thank you for not making us wait forever for a part two!
Ben's new nickname is "The Chuckler"
Yes!
“One Bugle Ben”.
AAARGH!!!😧 I feel like Charlie Brown when Lucy pulls the football away. Nice series so far. 👍🏻😎
Just living the dream!
Good for you guys, tough call to make! Glad you showed yourselves doing the right thing!
I grew up in CO. The biggest bull I have ever taken (I have shot 25 elk) was taken less than 300 yards from a heavily traveled road. There is a thick stand of pines that has a waterhole and good grass. Elk go there because everyone drives past it on the way to higher country. I call it the Devil's Hole because it is really thick. It has produced 6 elk for me over the years. Elk go where they feel safe and sometimes that is close to the road as people drive by.
21:20, I could hear that ragged breathing...... awesome
That is incredible! Having hunted CO OTC archery before, my hats off to you guys for getting in so close on a huge bull! Way more challenging than what the major Outdoor TV shows show for elk hunting when they go to a private ranch and drive their side-by-side to the elk and shoot them as they walk along the same trail they take every day! I hunted the boundaries of public and private last time I was in CO and there was a ton of sign and we even saw a huge group of large bulls over on private that would not budge.
Probly goes without saying boys. But one of the biggest rules in bow hunting elk is to have ur back to a tree when setting up for a shot. When u hide too well while set up, u won’t have very many windows to put an arrow through. U guys are killing it tho, nice call in. Can’t believe u guys pulled that bull into bow range, awesome video🤘
I have found that you don’t draw until you are ready to shoot. Elk see everything. Good work on getting on that bull!
The caller needs to be 70 yards behind the shooter. To get them in bow rang
My thoughts exactly
Huge respect for not taking that shot. Awesome encounter.
That was a heck of a public land bull, congrats on at least getting on him
Nice work boys. Need more competent callers in the group so you can drop the bugler back a ways to call the bull past you to the call. Cow calls can be your friend. Looking forward to your deer season vids. Good luck.
So we are gearing up for bow season and I have to admit, I've been slacking a bit, not as focused as I could be on getting spots ready and tying up loose ends but watching that Elk walk up like that and seeing Ben draw his bow (and watching the arrow as it released from the bow and slide in right in front of that right shoulder) has got me pumped up. Hate y'all weren't able to get it done but it really is better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully your sportsmanship will pay off.
I love that this channel shows the hunts that are failures. The thumbnail made me think that they'd for sure have an elk down by the end of the video. Not knowing what to expect with each hunt makes it more exciting.
So close. I wish you called him across. I've seen this video at least twice and applaud your decision to not shoot the bull just past the public bdry line. You guys are awesome.
What a rush! My hands were shaking right along with him and I'm sitting in an office chair XD
Lots of folks dissing the chuckle. I'm not sure why. The chuckle says "come over here". A better suggestion would be to cut the scream chuckle combo. Be inviting to the bull rather than say "I'll kick your ass, get over here." Otherwise, that setup. Ugh. I was screaming, WHY ARE YOU BEHIND THE TREE??! Glad to see the honest talk about the setup. Last thing, keep calling! WHats the worst that happens. He was already leaving. Try to call and stop him or bring him back. You can't do worse.
One of the best bull calling, sounds exactly like a bull elk well done guys
rule number 132 of elk hunting, always stand in front of the cedar instead of behind. let the tree break up your outline, that would have been a dead bull.
Great ethics, great video, great times with your Dad and buddies. Awesome
God that was intense... Nice job guys.
That was still awesome. And situations like this make us better hunters watching and learning from these mistakes. But either way that was awesome. And I’m glad you guys got to feel that rush and see that beautiful bull!
Always amazing content. When I heard Zach say last yr that Ben was going to get an OTC tag I've been wondering if we'd get to see any footage. Awesome watching two best friends chase bugles together!
Great video. Learn from your “mistakes” and get a better setup. You can call elk like you do turkeys if you have a few people. Set the hunter off to the side and pull him in front of the hunter by two callers walking over the hill cow calling and scraping. It’s gotta be awesome out the learning and getting that experience!!!
Holy crap. That was intense. I appreciate your ethics on not taking that shot. Us public land hunters have it hard. The rich get the private land and you did it right on public land. The excitement of the hunt makes it fun but we all want a big bull in the end. So cool to see what you did.
These guy’s constantly get on good animals they very rarely close on mature animals it shows they are growing through our eyes on camera
shot !! What line ! What post? Oh...my bad...well let's go get him and drag him ....... :-)
Nice bugle!! Ditch the chuckle…. bark! Very nice pipes though!!
ROOKIES!
And they are back. Oh I can smell deer season!
Loving the calls man,I thought at first I was going to see a bull down,even had me excited
What an awesome video! That was some damn good stalking imo. I can't wait for the 2021 season!
Let me tell you how to hunt while I sit on my couch... :) These comments are entertaining!
Those ones do hurt forever, but they make the satisfaction of executing it correctly feel oh so much better.
Quit chuckling after every bugle 😂
The look every time Ben hears a bugle👀👀🤣🤣🤣🤣
You blew it! Unbelievable!
That was a beautiful bull. What a great encounter!
Been waiting all summer for this content! Can’t wait for this season!
woohoo
I was one of those 2 guys from Pennsylvania
Much respect!! Good call guys. Good luck!!
Always set up in front of the trees when calling elk
Pretty intense encounters. Way to stay mobile and get after it. Good call on not taking a shot that is literally on the line of legal and illegal. As they say Set up is 90% of why a hunt is successful. I look forward to seeing the next episode and how quickly you all adapt.
LOVE THE VIDEOS!! Incredible Footage guys! You'll get em
Right call was still made..... You didn't shoot congrats for that! Bow hunting to me is about that ( making the right call).... My thought if I was their would have been ( looking from camera angle) If i try this shot and hit a branch that bull could run deep into private..... Then doing the right thing and getting the land owner's permission to try and recover the bull is one thing..... The owner most likely will come with you to help/observe and the thought in the owners mind.... non-resident hunters wounding animals. That's one huge reason other states are trying their best to cull the non-resident hunters. So think of it this way boys, you just made us non-resident elk hunters shine in a good light by making the right choice. THANK YOU!!!!
That’s funny 😆. Called some other hunters. Im sure it happens allot. I was with my buddy helping him find his deer when we came across another hunter who had found our deers blood trail He marked it with a ribbon Incase anyone came back looking. 👍
I only watched it because I new you didn't get the elk I like watching miss map hunts it takes a 100 miss haps to make a great hunter!
Bulls calling is like some avatar stuff
That seek outside pack looks like it works nice with lots of stuff in that back netting
That’s real hunting guys you are the real deal my friends
It would be a dream to hunt a ELK. Love your vids guys keep it up
Just my opinion, in otc units in Colorado it does more harm than good using a bugle tube. Also, elk are huge animals so they expect to see an animal when they are approaching your set up. Use the advantage of multiple people in your group and call them through you instead of to you. Elk are naturally loud animals while moving through the mountains so don’t worry about making noise. With everyone using “on x” these days you don’t have to hike miles and miles back. Often big remote areas draw a lot of hunting pressure. Just like whitetail hunting, small spots close to the road are very overlooked and the Elk definitely know this. Not trying to criticize just speaking from personal experience in otc units.
Alot of hunters walk right past unpressured bulls, because they hike 10 miles they think they will be alone. A lot of guys today hike way back because they saw a RUclips channel do the same.
@@moneyandtimefreedom3352 would you recommend sticking close to the trail heads then? First year in Colorado this year
That cow call works good too!
When you call a bull elk and he answers back use that to locate him then go his direction then if and when you call again always always make it sound like you are a much smaller bull so you entice him to answer you, but when you sound as big or bigger than he is he will always go silent. Take it from an 80 yr old man that has at least 10 bows and killed at least 7 elk 14 to 20 dear I lost count and was the only hunter in California in 1969 to kill a bear. Go back and watch all of this hunt and you will see what I mean on using a immature bugle might have helped. Particularly when you heard the elk on the rocks they were leaving and the bull was hearding his cows away from your bugles (a bigger bull). I love the hunting public videos, I go back and watch them again and again, I love the stalking that gets my heard racing just like I was there with you guys, thats why I only love bow hunting, hope you never get old and the wind is in your face, thanks Jim
I can’t imagine being in that situation. Just watching it has my heart racing!!!
Dang you guys got me ten kinds of excited can’t wait to go this year
Great footage fellas....such a cool experience....as a whitetail hunter from pa.....it looks amazing!
If you are a true hunter and respect the animal and the land that’s what it’s about!
Being out there stalking awesome guys!
Way to respect the private land owner!
Zack “we didn’t see shit over there buddy” 😂😂😂😂
Very cool. Good restraint. If they're like whitetail bucks he was honed in on the last call, so the 'drop back' shoulda included one more bugle in my guesstimation. Next time.
You guys need to cow talk more. Most non-dominant bulls don't want to fight, and the herd bull usually won't leave his cows to go look for a fight. But most bulls will go looking for stray cows.
Loved it. That's cool passing on what you learned.
I watch these boy and never saw them kill anything
Haven’t even watched it yet but know it’s gonna be a good one.!!
Learning a ton as always thank you guys what a hunt!
Reminds me of some of my public land turkey hunts.
Good ethics that's why I love thp 👍
Didn't appear as it would have been a quality shot even if he was on public. Looked to be quartered to, to me. Excellent sportsmanship THP!!
Oh dang, u see Ben's reaction when that thing responded back to him? His heart dropped
.....( And now I just got to the part where they say it was guys from pa)
love this channel, great hunt fellas!
Respect!! I would have let it fly if it were me as long as it was in range. Think you made the right, mature decision. If its ON the Line then it goes both ways is how I've always looked at. Maybe im wrong though
Zach's dad looks like private joker from full metal jacket
Man they should rename the channel aggressive ass calling cause there's a lot of that going on for sure 😂
Wicked sick hunt Kent’s!!! Super badass!!!💪🇺🇸👍
What restraint, way to show class fellas.
The caller sure knows how to scare the elk off. You don't want to be bigger than the elk you are calling, same size or smaller. Cow calls can and do work better to calling in bulls!
I was thinking the same thing! More cow calls!
Oops! You got Doug Flutied!
Send that arrow oh my god
Commend you for following the Rules . It was an interesting 5 or 6 days enjoyed it
We could comment on the hunt. But y’all need to make these mistakes and eat tag soup a few years like we all did. I love the hunt guys. Keep it up. There a dumb one out there somewhere.
So what did they do wrong?
@@christopherdeaton2778 listen to the last couple minutes of the video and he tells you.....
@@trumanmiller94 well I mean obviously I did. Lol but so did the original commenter, but I figure he is referring more mistakes or further in detail than what was in video.
When we get thp daily uploads its a good time. Thanks for the content. I guess this is the colorado footage zach mentioned ted cutting on one of the recent podcasts. Was wondering if itd be this years.
Listened to the podcast a couple days ago and heard about you guys talking about quiet shoes. Croc makes these LiteRider tennis shoes that are fairly thin and really quiet. I used them most of bow season last year
They worked great and you can get them for like $50 off Amazon
