As a 35 year veteran of elk hunting in Idaho, mostly archery I look at it as a way of life. First a good hunter needs to be in shape, one needs to be good at shooting with a good heavy FOC arrow combination with a cut on contact head. Finding elk is the key to success, knowing what type of terrain they will be in during the season. I look for remote basins, thick cover, water, feed and limited pressure. Big bulls don't tolerate pressure for very long. Most of my bulls have been taken calling, or at least calling to get a locate. Good luck and cover the miles. You will find them eventually.
Few tips... Some western states don't allow mechanicals, so I'd review THP's videos with the Ranch Fairy. Don't underestimate altitude sickness. Lay off the alcohol, drink lots of water (like more than you would back east) and get some electrolytes. Be mobile... Very mobile, which means get in shape and lose the gut. Like no joke. Your scent elimination stuff pretty much goes out the window cuz you will sweat your a$$ off hiking these mountains. It's more important to learn about the thermals and even pay attention to micro climates. You'll notice certain areas will hold onto the down draft longer than other areas. Certain areas the wind will switch earlier cuz it's exposed to the sun and etc... It all matters. But other than that, comfortable shoes are more important than expensive ones and the clothes you have for deer hunting is absolutely fine. Also... I suggest having a tarp. Tarps are so versatile and useful. Ok... That's it. And have fun... Like a lot of it. It's beautiful country out here and I think everyone should do give it a try at least once.
The first place to start is exercise, exercise, exercise. Put a guy like me that has lived his entire life just a few hundred feet above sea level at 9000 feet and you quickly realize how thin the air is and how out of shape you are. Elk eluded me in Colorado in 2012, but will eventually get back there to settle the score sometime.
I disagree; first place is being a competent archer. Doesn't matter how much stamina, endurance or strength you have if you can't seal the deal and make an ethical shot.
Zarate has a point, a competent archer is required. Gunter, I'm a flatlander guy, I can attest to being at 0' elevation offshore most of the summer. A day later, I was in elevations and oxygen levels I've never experienced before trying to hunt, never saw it in day light until the 1st morning. I was gasping the first 2-3 days. I was 220 gym bro and not able to breathe. I took drawing a CO archery elk tag seriously this year. 1st time drawing. Since I knew, I've been stair mastering, incline treadmilling with as much weight as I can daily, running, & biking. I feel like I need all the help I can get to be as in shape as possible. Why wouldn't anyone?
@@gregb4288 Also a flatlander from Michigan, though more ectomorph, I did enough weight lifting to maintain my ability with my bow and shed hunting with my pack for endurance. Zero issues going from sea level to 9000-12000 ft but my brother who has a similar physique and gym experience you described, struggled intensely. Good luck this season! I drew a mule deer tag for CO as well
Ive never excised or worked out a day in my life and have been elk hunting colorado for over 20 years. If you are a real man you dont need the go to the gym.
Great advice boys! I am an avid Elk hunter here in the Pacific NW ( Idaho and Washington ) and your info is SPOT on. I also know you have done this a time or two because you have carpet in your wall tent! Nothing like waking up barefoot to cold dirt! I love it!
Man the part about Not Waiting is spot on. If you think you want to go then start the next day, I have put this off for over 40 years now I'm. in my early sixties and going on my first Elk hunt and a DIY at that. Guys don't let life get Too Busy that you lose focus on what it is You Want to do. It is expensive also some prepared to whip out the ol card
You can buy preference points here in Oregon. Be sure to read your regs . I just wasted 6 years of points because I didn't put the letter x at the end of my unit number so I got a cow hunt . Bright side , my odds of getting meat is better with cow
I'm an old guy too, However, I've learned that you can keep hunting for as long as your body holds up. You just have to figure out your own what, when, where, and how.
Pa Elk lotterys a point build over the years. theres 3 draws. Regular season , archery and extended but you also get to choose your elk management area you want to hunt.
I will follow the example of the elk in the opening by bugling into the wilderness during my morning pee to establish dominance and territory from here forth.
I’ll be rifle hunting for the first time in my adult life 1st season here in Colorado. Guess I’ll be keeping my eye out for THP stickers - it’d be great to meet you guys!!
I wish I learned hunting and took advantage of it living in Wyoming. Didn’t think I’d ever do big game and didn’t opt for archery on my 10 year requirement lifetime license, and now in Colorado wishing I was back up there.
Elk hunting has gotten so popular in the last few years with things like OnX, goHunt, etc that the pressure is getting pretty crazy. I hunted CO in 2019 and it wasnt uncommon to pull into a trailhead with 15 vehicles parked. The thought of 'going further' then everyone doesnt work as well because that is most peoples mentality now because thats what all videos and podcasts tell you, and again with GPS people are more confident to go further and not fear getting turned around. We hunted 5 days and never saw an Elk. Thats hunting for you but the experience wasnt quite what I'd hoped with all the people around and lack of animals. This is coming from a guy in WI that is accustomed to the orange army invading the woods.
This couldn't be more accurate. While i appreciate the things THP, Dan, John Eberhard, and on and on, have done for the hunting community they have also brought a TON of hunting pressure and most say the same things about hunting the thickest cover etc. Everyone is mobile now, everyone has at the least a smart phone capable of looking up properties. Its changed the game.
Drew my second elk tag out west (Montana this time) this time I can go for a bull. Mixed public and private land opportunities. I’m super pumped and ready to learn!
First step is to have a home with a room with a 40 foot high ceiling to hang the trophy if harvested and a BA freezer. Unless you’re from Montana then you need a garage with a 60 foot front elevation facing your road.
Great video guys! I’m going on my first elk trip this fall in Wyoming, and I’ll definitely reference this video! Hopefully I’ll get some good footage and some awesome freezer filler!
Great breakdown guys without making an hour long video. I am subscribed to all three of those channels and more like Elk101, ElkShape, GoHunt, Gritty Films with Brian Call, and many others. I have been buying points in multiple states for 3 or 4 years now for elk, deer 🦌and pronghorn. Hopefully I will actually get to apply in 2022. PS Idaho is also a no points states, but you better be ready for December 1st when their over the internet tags go on sale.
Y'all need to apply for sambar deer on St Vincent island in Florida. Its a primitive 3 day hunt/primitive camp. Would love to see you guys get out here and get a sambar or a hog off the island.
I killed a Sambar Stag. On a Draw public hunt, not in FL. Entire hunt party killed a sambar stag, me 34yrs, father(w/ ST4 lung & bone cancer) 77yrs, bro(special needs bro) 37yrs. Honestly and unexpectedly the best meat we've tried. Grateful for that experience with my father and brother. St. Vincent sounds so much more challenging!
@@jacksteele13 I assume non resident can apply but not sure how that works since there is only the one price. It may be just the one price as I know no res definitely hunt it.
PA ELk registration ends July 31st!! They have three tags you can apply for. Bow, regular , and late season. each tag is like 15$ But the lottery is really tough.
Got my name is for both rifle and archery in PA. A rare gem for both PA residents and non residents to hunt Elk if getting out west isn’t something you can do.
I’m hopeful going elk hunting in Colorado by 2022 or 2023 we are hunting unit 60 but my family had really good luck in that unit my father shot a 378in bull in that unit and the average bull is between 300in to 380in so a really nice unit for elk and I’m pretty sure it’s ranked number two or three in the state for monster elk
Good stuff been wanting to go out there and get after them for a while. And after watching your hunt in Wyoming and following the born and raised guys. I made the decision last year that we're doing it this season OTC Colorado. Can't wait. Good luck to you Ted hope you seal the deal. I'll be tagging you guys if we can make it happen. 🏹
Ik this is a long shot but I'm just starting my hunting channel and would love to get together with you guys down here in arkansas to do some hunting videos together! Great jobs guys yall got me to finally start the video I have been wanting to.
ALSO tell people about the Rocky mountain elk foundation.... RUclips channel's like yours are recurring a ton of hunters that have never stepped foot into elk country. For those hunters I would recommend looking deep into things well before you even think you would like to try elk hunting... It's not cheap even for a DIY. I hunt elk / mule deer/ black bear in Idaho and Colorado, I live in Michigan. I have all my own gear that cost from bow to back pack 4550.00, the trip out/back in fuel 4237.98(Idaho) ,quad 5500.00, enclosed tandem trailer 7500.00, generator 1900.00,outfitter tent 2800.00, wood stove, 450.00 spike camp tent 700.00, food (12 days) 400.00. tags 850.00 elk/black bear. And about 200-300.00 for gas for gen and quad, ice and miscellaneous supplies. I could not do my trip for any less last September 2020 .... I do wish I had a little more left over cash so I could of rented llama's to pack out the two elk my hunting buddy and I got 10 miles from the quad. I wish anyone that makes it happen the best of luck... And if your lucky and get an elk down, i hope you enjoy the work of getting it back to camp.
Last year, my otc hunt was $1400 round trip; a bow that was traded to me, $200 in arrows, $80 in broadheads, $200 in a pack and that was it. It doesn't have to be outrageous, it just depends on what you're willing to endure along the way. Also from Michigan
@@chelseazarate189 your totally correct... Fuel and food was spilt between me and my hunting buddy. His truck, trailer, quad, and barrowed a second quad for trip.... So I looked at all what I spent and it was a total of 2586.00.... Are you hunting in Colorado mostly? Or have you bounced around.
@@normankaster917 So far only in Colorado over the counter. Drew a mule deer tag and getting an otc elk tag for this season. Still learning the draw process of other states
Is there a big difference between crossbow broadheads and regular broadheads? Could you use a fixed blade cut on contact broadheads with a compound if they’re for a crossbow?
Question for Warb! I believe you said you had 7 preference points? If so why did you apply in the special draw and not the regular draw? Looking at going to Wyoming myself and still trying to learn all I can. Y'all are putting out great info keep it up. Thanks
With wolves and hunting demand on the rise, I'm concerned about the future of elk hunting. They voted to introduce wolves on the western slope of Colorado by 2023, might be tough going in the west in another 10-15yrs...
Who the heck pays $1300 for an elk tag?? Holy snappers Batman!! That’s damn insanity. In AB Canada I pay annually $39.95 for a resident hunting license, $29.95 for a bow permit and $34.95 for the actual general elk tag. So for just over $100 I’m hunting elk on public land. There are some rules that you have to follow and are specific to each hunting zone but if it costed me $1300 for just an elk tag I’d sell the whole lot of hunting gear and buy a butchered beef.
How could you guys be afraid of grizzly bears?! They are so cute and cuddly! Why a couple weeks ago I herd a bear met a woman in Montana in the woods. I think the bear took her out for supper 🤔 For real though Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming NEED to have a grizzly bear hunt. There are WAY to many on the landscape.
If you all have them to watch the documentary called.... It's worse than you think... Bye Revelations of Jesus Christ ministries... I suggest you do all praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ
As someone who lives out west, I hate these videos. Last thing I want is competition from some dude from Iowa for an elk tag. People need to figure this stuff out on their own, not have it handed to them on a silver platter. Wyoming and Colorado have become tough draws, all because of stuff like this. But hey, gotta put out the content, right?
Right, people should stop hunting. So then I can have it all to myself, and while it loses popularity, eventually hunting will be regulated out of existence along with, on the downhill slide gear will get worse and worse because there's no demand or competition to improve gear. I hunt in Iowa and kinda see the point your making. But as long as other people are respectful of other hunters I'm glad seeing other people in the field.
If you apply that thinking than you must all so think poor people should not be able to hunt all land should all be private if you can't afford 1000 acres screw you....

Good luck!
That’s awesome, I live in Ohio and I really really hope to draw a Kentucky archery elk tag some day. Good luck brother, hope you put one on the ground
How long did that take to draw ?

Love yalls channel! Keep it up. Such good information. Can't wait to get out of the service and hunt more
Good stuff guys! Been 5 years since my last tag... Keep building those points!
Reminder youth points for some states are discounted put them in with yours Wyoming is one. Good luck Ted .
Way to go Ted! Hope you get a monster out there this year. Looking forward to the video!
Great video guys! I’m going on my first elk trip this fall in Wyoming, and I’ll definitely reference this video! Hopefully I’ll get some good footage and some awesome freezer filler!

Looking forward to this bow season 🏹 videos like this get me excited
With Zack out west is he still going to be part of the normal THP crew during the deer tour 2021?

Can’t wait for the deer tour
I Like Elk Hunting Boar Hunting Turkey Hunting Duck Hunting and Pheasant Hunting
Randy newberg has great videos on each state. He has been releasing updates every application season as well!
Yeah Ted. Great draw. Thanks guys
Which region of the state will you be hunting? Don’t need to say the exact unit just a general area. I drew first rifle season for my first elk hunt
Arizona had less than 100 left over tags over all this year for deer alone

Hey could you guy maybe do a video on your scent control and setups
I'll be in durango Colorado the 15th-20th for elk
Is there a big difference between crossbow broadheads and regular broadheads? Could you use a fixed blade cut on contact broadheads with a compound if they’re for a crossbow?

Why did y’all move out? I know Aaron is married and Ted is spending the summer at his parents, but why did Zach move?
Zach's girlfriend lives in CO and he has family there
Can't wait for September in Colorado!!!!
Would Zach be willing to help some newbie’s out going to try our first Colorado elk trip 2024
Too damn complicated, I'm goin fishin!!!!
just found you guys ever do Kentucky elk hunt videos?
Ive got a question for greg i was just wondering why you decided to go with the sony nx80 as opposed the canon xf400, keep up the great work guys.
At least some of those states refund your money when you don't draw.
Here in Ontario, say goodbye to your money every time.
definitely good to know

So does Zach work with the hunting public ?!?
Holly crap that bull Is massave
At the last minute
Why don’t htp hunt in Illinois
I’d start right next to the BRO guys lol
Awesome video
Guys how is for who doesnt live in usa? Thanks
Always desired to harvest an elk. Being 69 and on limited income, time to move on. Sad.
You hunt elk where the elk are ....
Step one : draw a tag....

As someone who lives out west, I hate these videos. Last thing I want is competition from some dude from Iowa for an elk tag. People need to figure this stuff out on their own, not have it handed to them on a silver platter. Wyoming and Colorado have become tough draws, all because of stuff like this.
But hey, gotta put out the content, right?
Right, people should stop hunting. So then I can have it all to myself, and while it loses popularity, eventually hunting will be regulated out of existence along with, on the downhill slide gear will get worse and worse because there's no demand or competition to improve gear. I hunt in Iowa and kinda see the point your making. But as long as other people are respectful of other hunters I'm glad seeing other people in the field.
If you apply that thinking than you must all so think poor people should not be able to hunt all land should all be private if you can't afford 1000 acres screw you....
Step 1: don’t have kids
