Dude this makes me want to start hunting the fact that you are alone out there with just you and the lord waiting to harvest that bull just seams cool. Thank you samong for showing us your world
Who knows he’s probably not alone. Probably have a bunch of friends behind the camera. Hmoob ppl hardly hunt alone, especially for 12 days
It will change your life for the better. Peaceful time to reflect, think, relax and enjoy Gods creations
@@klamerjeremyI need to try this in NC
Slow Clap. A sign of a true sportsman. Taking into consideration the survival of the calves and letting them and their Mother live.Thank you for your hard work and willingness to share. Blessings from another hunter.
Bro, the sound from the lion kill was frightening! I’m not too easily scared in the woods, but that would of sent chills down my spine. Again, great content! Awesome videos! Keep them coming!
Sasquatch! 😮
Handguns are your friend 🫡
Ive had bears fight in my backyard that sounded similar to that.... But also at the same time it sounded like a deer being attacked.
That was crazy sounding stuff for sure! Some of the best I have heard.
I would have gathered my stuff and headed back to camp once that sounds howling...
That cougar sound would be really scary!! Your a brave soul.
You’re a very dedicated and a hard core hunter for sure 💯.
There ya are!!! Missed you!!!!
Mad respect! Glad to see you seeing the big picture. I've seen a lot of your hunting videos and I have to commend you on the work ethic you have and the dedication you put into your videos. You're a class act and a wonderful ambassador for the sport of hunting. Many "hunters" are just what I call "shooters". You my friend are a true hunter. You literally work your butt off and regardless of the result, you show great appreciation for the natural resources and the opportunities made available to you. Your emotions are raw and genuine. Your hunts are always awesome because it's authentic and captures all the highs and lows. Continue to be a wonderful ambassador for the sport, my friend. Keep doing what you do. It's not about the end result, but rather the journey that makes a hunt so enjoyable. You my friend, are bar none, the most legit hunter out there and your videos, they are wonderfully done. No frills and thrills and no dramatic sound effects. You've been able to capture the essence of hunting, something highend production companies fail to do because it lacks authenticity. Please stay safe and make the most of the time you have while you're still young and able. Take care and always remember that you've now become an ambassador for the sport, so carry that burden with pride and always lead by example! Cheers!
Literally clicked play 14 seconds after you posted this. I FEEL LIKE IM THERE WITH YOU. BRING HOME A RACK. SENDING ALL THE GOOD ENERGY. You literally make the best hunting videos of everyone I've seen.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
You literally ruined the video.
@@SamongOutdoors Nothing to add, you're literally the best yt hunter. You're already a legend.
I was literally lying latterally watching this after climbing a ladder all day.
@@msavage138world's longest ladder? Or the world's slowest climber? Jk
Been following you for 4 or 5 years now, and I can't believe how you're not way more popular. You've got a compelling way of telling stories man, makes me really excited just hearing you speak to your audience. I really hope more people interact with your stuff 🤙
As a fellow archery hunter myself here in Colorado, nothing beats backcountry solo hunting! Absolutely love it! Great content too!
Yup, been doing it for decades. But now at mid 60’s and some heart issues my wife doesn’t like it anymore. She’s lived with it for 46 years so I guess I owe her that but if relief. It’s killing me though to pass it up,
Well done young man! It is a pleasure watching your video way to keep it simple and to the point without a lot of music and hype.
This is so well made. The stillness has tangible tension in every moment you included of staring into the eyes of the elk... Perfection.
Glad I found your channel.
Respect for busting your hump and putting lots of hours in. Really enjoyed this and it shows what a grind hunting can be. True hunters love that grind. Makes a harvest even more special when hard work pays off. Also, even more respect that you let that mother live so she could ensure the survival of her calves. That’s conservation.
Great video man and those noises I thought a damn big foot was gonna get ya!!! Awesome job excited to watch the rest. Such well done footage also it’s inspiring
The way document your hunts is really helpful and inspiring. It’s honest and not pretentious.
The only thing better, than a solo hunt, out in the backcountry, is a hunt with my two sons. You’re a true sportsman my friend. Passing on that cow.
Your attitude towards conservation is much needed. Thumbs 👍!!
The experiences you have and everything you get to do and teach us from what youve been through is actually astonishing. I always watch your videos and pick up so much more knowledge every time i come back to em. I hope to see you pull something out in the next couple of weeks !!
Great trip so far. I love solo hunting. The mental game is definitely elevated. Anxious for part 2.
The quality of this is ridiculous. So much respect for the planning and execution it took for the hunt itself as well as the thoughtful videography and narration. PNW hunting is arduous and taxing, and this guy made it about 1000x harder haha. Excellent job, Samong. It may be coming in pt 2, but as someone who frequently hunts solo, I would love to see more discussion on how you keep yourself safe and plan for emergencies. Thank you!
I hate the sound a deer makes when being attacked by a puma or bear. It’s literally the scariest and spine chilling sound you can ever hear especially out alone in the woods. But great video and even though you’re probably dying inside of desperation, you’re demonstrating what it takes to be a hunter. Mad respect 🫡. For the first time I’m trying out bow hunting next year so I’m preparing myself watching videos as well. Keep them coming 👍
Is that what that was at about 11:00 ish? And he's out there alone, adds another dimension of scary
@@ninjanik2095 yeah those are some of the most frightening sounds ever and even if you know what makes it, it still scares you to your core. But it’s nature 🤷🏽♂️
Sounds more like bobcats when they're angry or mating
@@ninjanik2095 bobcats not a dying deer
As a fellow archery hunter myself here in Colorado, nothing beats backcountry solo hunting! Absolutely love it! Great content too!@@etv9883
You have nothing to fear Samong god is watching over you and protecting you on your journey. Proud that you did what’s best for the claves and not for you! I’m a Wa resident aswell and our elk herds need all the help
We can give them. Who knows maybe one of those caves is a bull that someday a young hunter has an experience hunting that will stay with him for life
I doubt God will come down and rescue him from any danger.
But his Bow will.
I'm jealous! Awesome hunt and fine video skills, well done! Grandpa taught me that "huntin' aint about killin'"....you are a perfect example of a sportsman. How did you sleep knowing that cat was there? Gave me chills, thank you! And when you do finally get him think of all the satisfaction you will get from all the effort.
This is actually insane. Made respect
This video was phenomonally done man. Your usage of trail cams is super inspiring, and your bringing in so much camera gear makes me wanna step up my game. Great work!
Great share, I love watching guys doing real hunting. Not the farming channels. Super dedication to the sport, animals, photography and clean experience. Now get him !
Fantastic video. Without a doubt one of the best self-videod hunts I've seen. Great camera work, great editing. I was happy to listen to nothing but silence while you were sitting in the bush. Much more enjoyed that than the music a lot of guys add to their videos. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for a bull to appear with that cow. Good on you - for the reasons you stated - for not killing her.
i did a solo colorado elk hunt and the thought of knowing that the mountains lions probably looked at me and i never even saw them still gives me goose bumps
Love you’re way of thinking Sam!! Can’t wait for part 2!!! We’ll be waiting!
Amazing dedication and discipline my friend can't thank you enough for sharing.
I cannot wait for part two. I know something real good is about to take place.
Outstanding video. I admire how deliberate and purpose driven when you hunt .
But when that cougar went off making some seriously insane vocals, you took that like a champ.
In dark timber with a bow, and an apex predator sounding like it's about to go full on crazy. And I saw you down load your gear and didn't see a pistol, I told my wife he was going to get face to face with something.
A lot of men would have packed up and called it over.
But you are motoring on and staying focused getting Boomer, well done.
Imagine hearing those mtn lion noises at night in the dark. HECK NO. the fact you stayed so calm lol
Amazing and inspiring video Samong!!! Hope that trophy bull comes home with you!!
As a NON HUNTER,i can still appreciate just the humble sportsmanship and just how u handle urself!!U got some big kleenkers on ya!!😂🤣✌️🍻🤘
that deer sound was actually terrifying to hear when you're alone out there.
Good ethical thoughtful hunting! Good on you brother. Best of luck!
Solo hunting elk is definatly something not everyone can do. Hats off to anybody who attempts it. The mental game is probably the one thing that is the hardest to prepare for. Then if successful solo packing an elk is a tough chore.
Is it disabled elk tho?
Part 2 please. Awesome videos, gives some of us great advice and inspiration. Thanks Samong
I've been watching your channel for a few years now, my favorite hunting content by far.
A few years now? Lol you know this guy personally?
@@jayredstone107 why would I need to know him personally to be a fan for a few years? You make no sense chief
Awesome video! Hats off to you for sitting patience over that wallow I don't think I could do it. Keep up the hard work and that was another great video like always
Been watching some of your vids from last year…if my wife asks, you did in fact convince me to buy a 17HMR…lol.
This is awesome, looking forward to the rest of your hunting season.
I think our boy found BIGFOOT!!
Damn dude, the anticipation was killing me! I love how you edited this. Felt so raw. I'm glad you kept alot of this in when I'm sure it may have been tempting to cut more. For whatever it's worth, I'm an video editor for my career. Looking forward to part 2!
I like the way you're organized. That's how I pack too. Great video.
Hell yea samong, didnt notice till the end u had no sidearm, u a strait G bein out there solo like that god dam it
One of thee best video I'll ever seen so far!! Great job!! Waiting for part 2!!
Wow u are truly a true hunter, hopefully u will get what u aiming for very soon, can’t wait for part 2
Thanks for sharing and for sparing that cow and its babies, that speaks volumes about your ethics. looking forward to Part 2
I know how much work you put in for this, especially with the cameras. Good job sticking it out brother!
That grunting and screaming at 10:20.... I have a very good friend who was solo elk hunting the Selkirk up past Redtop Mt, way back in the hills. He had not seen a person or vehicle in a couple for days. He was parked above a steep, thick ravine much like the one you are hunting here and at dusk, making something to eat and said that he heard some guttural screams, moans and what sounded like two or 3 "creatures" having some sort of dialogue in the draw below him. It was pitch black and the screams and shouts kept getting closer to him. He tried shouting back, throwing some rocks down the hill but he said they just kept making noise and coming closer. He started to hear branches break, he said what sounded like big branches/small logs being smashed against trees. It scared him to the point that he locked himself in his van with his .454 Casull in his lap. They moved past his van and up the draw further until he could not hear them anymore. He is not one to lie or make things up, one of the most standup, honest people I have ever known. It shook him up good. Mabey the Selkirk is the key to finding Sasquatch?
That’s exactly what I think was happening here!
probably a couple of Sasquatch's Trying to scare you outta the area.!
@@ramrod175 yeah.... sasquatch....
ive heard that you can hear animal sounding sounds but they are off. the closer you hear it the farther away they are. further away the closer "they" are idk
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Well done !!!
I admit it took me awhile to open this..
Wasn't sure if I was ready.
When that cow revealed herself.. I knew.
This is a great hunt so far. Hoping it turns epic... waiting for part 2
Already learned a new hiking tip in the first 5 minutes. I like how you packed each day of food in a separate bag. Then you can just take one of those in a day pack without having to think about rationing. And you have the left over bag for garbage or whatever else you need it for.
Dude makes solid content. Well done
From Australia: Hi Samong, another great video. I'm not sure that I could handle being by myself for 12 days and at my age I couldn't carry all that weight. Keep up the good work and yes, I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode. Take care and God bless.
That lion kill sounded pretty wicked ! Great hunt so far !
I’ve not hunted out of state or been able to hunt elk. Both hopefully soon. Your video popped up and I really enjoyed it. Very well done and I am soooo hoping part two finds success for ya!
Sitting on that wallow would be a perfect setup for a hang on or climbing stand if it's allowed, get you off the ground.
I admire and respect you for getting out there and adventuring and doing in your youth. It took me into my 30's to get my life together and the realization that I wasted my 20's was a hard one. Start a family while your young too, everything is easier in your 20's
I lost it when you pulled out 6 summer sausages haha you went threw all that food and then the summer sausage was like an after thought
It's the cheapest meat I could find haha
It is wild out there! The sounds of the forest are so foreign to us - thank God for the opportunities to learn about and enjoy His creation. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure! Your patience helps me understand that many hours may seem unproductive, but to stick with it anyways. Godspeed!
I always enjoy watching a true bowhunter! Thank you.
You have a new subscriber. Excellent content dude! The screeching noise was probably the cat. Where I grew up we had cougars everywhere. They can make noises that can make your hair stand straight up. And watch your back, cougars hunt their prey from behind. Ask me, I know. Excellent video!
Sweet hunt so far, that deer was CRAZY sounding, can’t wait for the second part, hope you were able to tag a good one.
Sounded like the Tasmanian devil
Awesome job man! Thanks for the video, you elk game gets better every year!
Can’t wait for part 2!!
Glad that I coincidently came across your channel, and you impressed me by your motive to catch your dream elk. Wish you best of luck 👍
love watching all of your videos. Keep them coming.
"Mountain Lion" attack...yeah, uh huh....learn what a Bigfoot sounds like ! That was WAAAAYYY to Human sounding for a deer ! Great video !!!
11:00 sounds like a dad getting ready for work in the morning
Great video cannot wait for part 2!!! Wish every hunter is like you
Samong, your definitely on a serious mission! That pack weighs almost as much as you do😅. Great video, had me on the edge of my seat a couple times! That animal vocalization sounded lower that I would expect for a deer. I wonder if a stray elk calf got attacked? Anyway what an awesome hunt your on, and thanks so much for taking your dedicated followers along for the adventure. 😊
Im sure someone may have mentioned it but the Thermocell is great and works wonders in mosquito thick areas, I use em every year hunting in Deep East Texas.
Thank you! Stay safe! Waiting for part 2!
Nice.
Your details are fun, and how you are humbled by the environment is what happens to me.
I hope you get him.
You are very dedicated! Mad respect! 🫡
I did this 20 years ago for seven days by myself using a recurve, and I found myself on day four completely in touch with all the animals going to bed at exactly dark getting up with the first bird, chirp, laying down and going to sleep next to watering holes… my senses all became better, and I didn’t even speak to a human for seven days. When is the last time anybody can say that unless they are in solitary confinement
Wow, awesome video. really enjoyed it. looking forward to part 2
I love the enthusiasm. Keep hittin it hard you'll go far.
12 days solo = stud! Enjoyed the two part series.
Man that deer getting killed by the lion sounds crazy! Awesome video.
Sitting vs stalking. I can't help but wonder if you should have mixed it up a little bit more and hunted out from the wallow in bigger and bigger circles. I'm doing my first second season elk hunt next week, and I'm so pumped.
Have you try using a thermacell? To get rid of the mosquitoes. It's very helpful. Try it out
Another awesome video man! Your target bull is a monster!! Can’t wait for part 2!
Video just started. I'm so excited to watch.❤
The preparation and patience is admirable!
That deer attack was insane. I had no idea they could make those noises.
halfway through, so far i love it, very informative. Glad you brought us with!
That sound at 11:00 sounded like the “greatest freak out ever” kid with the TV remote… that probably what it was lol
That's some quality hunting!
There's a squatch in those woods!!!
Outstanding effort, story and video!
I would have packed up and went home as soon as i heard that deer yelling... or seen that mountain lion..LOL
So intense bro! Can't wait for part 2!
Bigfoot all day. Awesome video.
Great Job I love hunting alone. Though its a beast to try to bring the elk back.
Cougars back off a kill and watch to see if anything curious comes to check the ruckus, not the best idea to go walking in when they are still amped after a kill. Would have been ultra-amazing to bag a cougar with the bow though, so it would be very hard to resist the idea of taking a look. Super rare, very lucky to be a part of that moment. I am hoping that big 6 makes his appearance for you Sam!
I’ve been wait for a 2023 hunt video for what feels like forever
I really enjoyed watching your video intensely. A very good footage. I also like the music played as well. So cool man. Thanks
I’ve been watching this kid when he didn’t have 800 followers… he’s been such a great representative of an outdoorsman, YT hunting page and person. I sincerely hope he has continued success in and out of the field.
I don’t believe he’ll fall victim to the industry that changed the guys like BRO, HUSHIN and the Gritty Bowman … but instead this kid will be as respected as Elk101 Corey Jacobson for example.
Corey and Samong are two hunters I’d drop everything to hunt with… good luck man!
dude, that's a crazy pack weight. I packed in 45ish for my archery back country deer hunt. I'm glad it was only one trip out.
I have no idea how this video came up in my youtube, I just randomly clicked. I watched the whole thing. I haven't watched someone else's hunting videos in a while now. I have to admire your dedication in filming your hunt. From start to finish, I know it's a lot of work. Good idea on the notebook. Sitting is boring as hell. I'd bring a book to read, but at my age I need reading glasses, which just wouldn't work while hunting. Good job overall man! 👍
