That was well said at the end. Some people don't understand working for your food. Meaning working a full time job then working 16 hr shifts while out and about in the woods trying to find and harvest the elusive Wapiti. It's far from driving down to Safeway or Walmart buying a couple steaks in 20 minutes. I'm grateful for you and others on this platform that show to the best of the cameras ability what is actually endured. God bless!!!
End speech was Epic! My 14 year old daughter and I experienced this on a drawn youth texas elk hunt. She was blessed with an 800 lb 5x5 bull 300+ yard shot. We look at her mount and its an incredible bond we all three have. Anyone that has never Elk hunted will never understand.
Last summer I had a conversation with Brian Call about how it’s crazy that we go to such extremes to be successful. It’s definitely hard on our bodies mentally and physically. Pack outs can be brutal but when it’s all said and done it’s so rewarding and not long after we look forward to doing it again. Brian’s response to that was, “it’s in our DNA.”
You last words were beautiful Bugler. We would be blessed to live a life as simple, beautiful as the Elk you harvested and a death so peaceful in gods country.
That was the absolute very best post shot elk calling I have ever heard. Usually post shot shot elk calling is the very worst. Congratulations!! Noticed you switched from screaming and being the baddest bulll on the mountain like Oregon Coastal calling. Bingo!!! Well done!!!
Excellent hunt Dirk , the shot was a little high put money when you are able to hit both lungs. Good shot ! I hope to put the calls I purchased from you at the Portland Sportsman show this year on my solo special tag I drew in Wa. Hope to chat with you again at the next Show and tell you my story. Good luck to you this year !!
Way to go Dirk. Great film as always. Shows how hard you have to work to put food on the table. Thanks for all you do and I can't wait to get my first chance hunting elk in New Mexico in October!
I know it is a rare situation, but what would you recommend doing if cows come in before the bull in the future? I've had a similar situation happen and I pretty much stood still and shut up. Is it better to take this approach or give them a couple soft cow calls and convince the bull to keep moving in? Thanks, great hunt!
I could really use a tree saddle system for the area in Colorado I'm hunting this year. It's going to be hot and hunting over water will be key. Great video!
With all the moisture we had here in NM it was an awesome hunt last year! I was lucky enough to draw unit 17, 1st hunt this year. It's a lot dryer this year, but rains are starting to roll in. It's my first year using my Phelps tube. Wish me luck!
Those dam 7 points, Dirk! 😂 why are they your mythical unicorn? One day I promise you, my friend! Beautiful film can't wait to see more! I think randy macho man savage and hulk hogan need to come out again! Best of luck this year!
Congratulations Dirk. You always come through. Your are a heck of a elk hunter. Really enjoy hearing you call. I also shot a really nice bull in New Mexico last year with my bow. Awesome place to hunt. Lots of bulls to chase.
How's that big city living? Had to laugh come to find out the family and i relocated about 5 miles down the road from where you moved from. Hoping the elk are not far. Many times there was droppings in the yard during the inspection/purchase process.
Man I miss that place a lot. I miss all the trees and quiet nights. You should have lots of elk to chase around there. Just gotta out maneuver the other hunters is all......
Vise words big man, I tried to explain that to my family. I always try to learn something, any video I watch there is new situations and different things to pick from. Since I started elk hunting in 2016 never missed any year and hopefully that will continue for long time.
This will be my first ever hunt and I chose for it to be Archery as well. I draw a tag for either sex public in a similar area to you in this video. It’s been a great learning experience and opportunity I hope I can feed my family with this bounty
listening to your podcast 😂, you got the chiggers or red bugs, they are the worst down in south Mississippi. I didn't know they were in NM takes forever to stop itching.
You got shooters, then you got hunters. Waterfowlers and elk hunters are a different breed. Then yall put the icing on the cake and video it all. Thanks for bringing us along. The hunt is the easy part. Editing this stuff would drain me.
I understand in the old days it may have been for fun, not so much business, but, I miss the old days with the collaborations, too funny. All are business now it seems. I can go back and watch those old episodes, I guess.
Great comment, but not helpful. What was wrong with it? Genre, volume, frequency, or you just hate music in RUclips videos. Help us understand you’re preferences.

Congrats to her! Thanks for watching :)
By far your best one yet, can tell in your voice, that's why we do it. Hats off sir! Smoked my bull this year with the maverick.
Dirk, you’re calling is what got me into elk hunting about 10 years ago. I guide now just to spend as much time hunting as I can. Thank you!

Way to grind it out!! So many people just don’t understand what it takes to hang with it and get it done!! Very good guys!! 👍👍😀

Typically I’d stay quiet abd motionless and let the cows pass by, and then draw carefully as not to get detected by the bull when the he approaches.
I could really use a tree saddle system for the area in Colorado I'm hunting this year. It's going to be hot and hunting over water will be key. Great video!
Grear video! Looked like a great time and good old bull.
That looked like a fun filled elk hunt with some exciting opportunites. Congrats on an awesome Bull, Thanks for taking us a long.
Thank you!

PS....the cattle trying to help you with your hunt was awesome 🤣😂
Good luck!
@@BGCWBY haha stupid cows everywhere 😂😂😂
Awesome hunt guys! great bull 😁
That would have been a tough haul out with the team of friends to help out. Nice bull!
Those dam 7 points, Dirk! 😂 why are they your mythical unicorn? One day I promise you, my friend! Beautiful film can't wait to see more! I think randy macho man savage and hulk hogan need to come out again! Best of luck this year!
Haha thank you! One day I'll get one, when the time is right I guess...... Lol
Congratulations Dirk. You always come through. Your are a heck of a elk hunter. Really enjoy hearing you call. I also shot a really nice bull in New Mexico last year with my bow. Awesome place to hunt. Lots of bulls to chase.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! You are inspiring to me.
Thank you!
Great bull Dirk! Congratulations! You never disappoint!

This will be my first ever hunt and I chose for it to be Archery as well. I draw a tag for either sex public in a similar area to you in this video. It’s been a great learning experience and opportunity I hope I can feed my family with this bounty
Excellent....
You da man Dirk!
That's how you promote a call company. One of the best sounding in the field. Need to get my hands on some
Thank you!
Nice hunt. What was the date you shot that bull
Thanks! 9/17 👍🏻
listening to your podcast 😂, you got the chiggers or red bugs, they are the worst down in south Mississippi. I didn't know they were in NM takes forever to stop itching.
They were TERRIBLE!!!! I literally itched for 2 months Hahaha
Busting out the pedo calf calling technique! 😂 Good work man, that was fun to watch.
That bench to sit on was from the good Lord !
Nice work Dirk. 4 weeks and counting
Yeah buddy!
Good stuff
You got shooters, then you got hunters. Waterfowlers and elk hunters are a different breed. Then yall put the icing on the cake and video it all. Thanks for bringing us along. The hunt is the easy part. Editing this stuff would drain me.
🙌🏼
Nice job boys
Hey dirk gonna hunt with the bro crew this year
I understand in the old days it may have been for fun, not so much business, but, I miss the old days with the collaborations, too funny. All are business now it seems. I can go back and watch those old episodes, I guess.
It never get old watching you call in and kill elk congratulations on another nice bull
Thank you!
Dirk the legend….
🙌🏼

love it
Какая тяжелая и трудная охота. Мне 62 года, а не могу бросить охоту.
Nothing compares to the Red Maverick. Pink is far from equivalent.
I'd agree with that! 😂 Thanks for watching!
keep hunting bro
Just here for the Taylor Swift Playlist!😂
Too bad you didn't have a "cow" tag.
Haha no kidding! Pesky things 😂😂😂😂😂
Music was disgusting'
