not sure what you were throwing at him but, he soaked those first 3 like he could take another 3 until the spine neck shot. Damn they're tough. congrats
Yeah man… that was a super tough old bull. In true warrior fashion, he just stood there and took the beating. It’s unfortunate sometimes to have to see that from those older, tougher animals. But Trevor stuck with it and put him down for the count with the final shot. Thank you. Take care.
Awesome video and great shot and awesome looking Elk bull, or as it is called in New Zealand Wapiti,, thanks for a great gift we received from USA in 19 century.Great video, awesome bull, congrats and greeting from hunters and fishers in Down Under,, Tony.
Very kind of you. I hope to someday make it to New Zealand for some of the world’s finest fishing and hunting. I know it’s incredibly beautiful down there. Anyway, thanks again. Take care. Bryce.
@@BMCBryce You and your friends can check out our 780 or so hunting and fishing videos Bryce.We love your videos too and if find your way to Down Under we will shout you for a Trout fishing trip on us.Happy New year and Regards, Tony.
Thanks Adam. The first two shots were a little back, but still would have killed the bull. We figured out the wind/dope and Trevor was able to make some adjustments and absolutely smashed the bull with the second two shots. He’s a tremendous bull for sure. We were thrilled to have found him and even more excited to be able to make it all happen and harvest such and amazing bull. Good luck and take care.
Thanks man. 438 yards. We waited and let the bull feed toward us until he was within range. Trevor shot well, but this particular bull was a very tough sucker that wasn’t just going to give up.
I always watch hunting vids from last year as I prep for the coming season. This one was a dandy and these hunters obviously practiced, knew their strategy and worked extremely hard to get to such a moment. I read some of these comments and it’s very complexing some of the negative stuff. I don’t normally see this from the hunting community unless someone isn’t wearing orange or some grave mistake. I think we all forget how hard it is to be at this level these hunters are with equipment, planning, strategy and practice to make a shot. I don’t see comments like this on Randy Newberg or others. Crazy! I hope hunting doesn’t turn woke or critical. We should be happy for one another, support the sport, way of life and others being vulnerable enough to “show” their hunts. Ha! I’d get laughed at if I shared mine! These are great!
Man… that was so refreshing. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy reading well thought out, clearly articulated and intelligent comments like yours. The world we live in now loves to shame people. No matter what we do or how we do it, we will likely face criticism. The more we “put” ourselves out there, the more we will receive. I personally don’t mind the negativity… most of the time. And I almost always just delete and ignore. But sometimes, I have to respond and let people know that they are incorrect. Anyway… thank you for the kind words. Means a lot. Take care and God bless.
Great video guys thanks for sharing!!! What's your opinion on the 150 ELDX on Elk now that you've harvested one with them? I can't decide to use those or 154 InterBond on elk. TIA
Thanks Chad. I think the heavier the bullet the better - for elk. Within reason of course. But if you’re looking at those two, I might suggest going with the heavier of the two. I just bought a 300 Win Mag. I am sticking with the ELDX because I think they do amazing things. But I’ll be shooting either the 200gr or the 212gr ELDX with that rifle. So that will really help when shooting bulls. Anyway, take care and thanks.
That has not been my experience. I have been fortunate enough to have harvested 6 mule deer and 1 cow elk with the 143 ELDX with my 6.5 PRC. I have only seen good/great things from that bullet. So I’ll continue to use it. The bull killed in this video was shot with the ELDX as well, he just happened to be one of the toughest animals on God’s green earth.
@@BMCBryce I must be thinking of another hornady bullet. Ya i agree the 7mm has the horsepower to take any elk. That one was tough. I also just got a 300wm, and am trying some rounds out with it. Since covid i cant get what i want, but i did get some decent ones. Federal terminal ascent looks really promising. Federal fusion has gotten good reviews by other hunters that have used them, and the old stanby partitions. My favorite is the barnes ttsx, lrx. Wicked rounds they are. Used a 168g out of a 308 and dumped it hard with full passthru of both shoulders, thru the heart. Want to try nosler e-tip, and accubonds. Their all decent, but will go with the most accurate one for hunting.
Man, I felt it hard to breathe just watching Trevor fight those antlers through the trees! But I know I, and I'm sure most hunters, would give almost anything to experience that struggle each fall and enjoy it with a smile on, just like you guys did. Congrats on a sweet bull!
It’s all shits and giggles until you have to roll one over and start cutting, dragging and packing one out. But it’s something that you’ll never forget.
@@swede5209 I can agree with you Robert. The work that comes after the kill is pretty intense, but it’s work that I love so much and hope to have to endure as often as I possibly can. Thank you and take care.
Any recommendation on where to hunt in that unit. Hoping to get an archery tag for that unit next season, just wondering. Any info would be awesome. KILLER VIDEO, thanks
Great job filming each shot and picking up the bullet trace. Always one of my favorite parts about long range shooting. If you don't mind me asking, what elevation did you guys take this bull at and what were the winds doing at the time of the shot?
Thanks man. It was an incredible hunt for sure. Trevor’s bull was killed right at 7800 feet. The wind was super challenging for us to read in that situation. Where we shot from, the was no wind. Where the bull was, also no wind. The cross canyon wind however, was stronger than we were able to detect. But Trevor was confident and made it happen. His bull was a tough old sucker and soaked up some serious energy with those impacts.
Congratulations on your 7x7 bull elk. You should be proud man. There are a lot of other hunters (myself included) who were not so lucky. We hunted Colorado 2nd season and were skunked. Lots of hunters and warm weather made it difficult to find elk. Once again . . . Congratulations and good shooting!
Cassidy!!! Yeah man, it was super great to meet you - Devin and Justice. How did the rest of the hunt go for you guys? Were you able to get into any more bucks?
Great video! After the first shot the you can see the bull shake his head, I wonder if the first shot hit the end of his main beam and that’s what broke it off
I don’t think that is how it broke off. In the video before the shot was taken, you can see the main beam is already shorter and broken. Plus, it wasn’t a fresh break when we got to him. I’m guessing it was from fighting back when the bull was rutting.
Actually, you’re right. Not one of them passed through the bull. They did massive amounts of damage though. The bull absorbed every one of the foot pounds of energy from each shot. I have considered the same thing about that bullet. Ultimately, my thoughts are that a heavier bullet (178 gr plus) in ELDX is needed for hunting elk.
Go with the 162 gr Hornady Interlocks out of that 7 Mag. They open up better. Devastating on shoulders and lungs. And the 190 gr 30 cal Hornadys out of a 300 Mag is even better. Neither will disappoint ya.
Yes. It’s a draw unit. Trevor drew with 19 points. It was unit 40. Which can be an incredible unit if you are lucky enough to have actual winter weather.
Not a problem. I didn’t mention it, but will throw the info in the description. Trevor was shooting a custom built 7MM. He was shooting the 150 gr ELDX from Hornady. Thanks again and take care.
Heading to Colorado in 2 days elk hunting for the first time. Looking forward to walking in the mountains. If i see elk it will be a bonus and a blessing to see one like that in my scope in range!
Thank you Joseph. Trevor is actually going to bring the head back over to my house sometime this week and we’re going to score it. When that’s done, I’ll throw that info in the description. Thanks man.
I think you killed him with the first shot but it is almost always smart to shoot again when they are on their feet. ...Tough animals! Good shooting! God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤ 😢 🙌
Thanks Tony! Incredibly kind of you to say what you did. Trevor burned 19 points on this tag, so I couldn’t just let him go down like that. I had to jump in and help. Best of luck and take care. Thanks again.
That’s absolutely brilliant Dale Hope… you’re suggesting that if anyone that hunts, can’t kill their quarry with one shot, they should not hunt. Yup. You’re the winner. How stupid. Get real man. All shots hit the bull. Each of the them were absolutely fatal shots. You’re either not very observant or not very bright if you can’t see that. Elk are incredibly tough animals and among elk, some have a stronger will to survive than others. Everyone that has ever hunted has taken shots and missed. Anyone that might hunt will do the same. I’ve missed, you’ve missed, we’ve all missed. It happens and is very much a part of hunting. Yet, that’s why your comment is so absurd… Trevor didn’t even miss. “Choose another sport” How ignorant and oblivious can one person be?! My advice is: try harder at coming up with a comment that makes sense or better yet… turn it off and watch something you’re more familiar with - whatever that might be.
Isn’t it fascinating that you think you know everything? I find it remarkable how quickly you can come to such profound conclusions without having been there, knowing the distance, the gun, cartridge, bullet weight, the elevation, the wind, the shooters ability, his practice, his experience… I could go on and on. Yet, somehow in your own mind have got everything figured out. Good for you. All I can say is you are wrong. Trevor was NOT under gunned. He was shooting a 7MM REM mag. You have also failed to realize how tough some elk are. This particular bull stood on his feet despite having two bullets rip through his heart. While neither of us wants to see any animal suffer, some animals have a stronger will to live than others. My biggest problem with your comment however, is that you assume too much when you know nothing. Go be the ethics police somewhere else… where it’s actually needed. Your condescending remarks are not warranted here especially from one “hunter” to another. If you are in fact a hunter, why would you spend your time attacking other hunters - that you can very clearly see are doing their best to legally take an animal as quickly and as painlessly as possible, care for the meat, and respect the land…? My advice to you would be to calm down and troll elsewhere.
@@BMCBryce 438 yds is long range? I’ve been a long range guy for over 35 years now I guess. I killed a cow elk on the 5th shot, in the neck at 160 yds shooting 180 gr PSP. The first 4 shots were fit insides a Pringles lid (lungs). She stood after the first shot. Shots 2,3 & 4 were sent as she continued to stand in her bed. Shot 5, I put in the ‘high shoulder’ height but in the neck. Lights out. Several slugs were recovered on the opposite side. Elk are tough critters. I’ll continue to be a “long range” hunter/shooter. Nice job on taking a great bull that was completely unaware of your presence. That’s what the 438 yd shot gives you; undisturbed, calm animals. 👍🏻
We need help Here in big horn park Kremmling, Colorado. Hunter's are trespassing and shooting game on lots. Nobody is doing anything about this, confrontation has proved to be dangerous.
Don't know if you guys realize you showed exactly where you hunted. Onx is great if you don't show it to God and everyone...great bull tho.. will probably be 35 camps below there next season.
Doubtful. It takes a lot of points to draw that tag and there isn’t an easy way in there. But yes, I was aware that I gave it away. I went above and beyond to do just that. God bless anyone that thinks it’s going to be easy to stroll in there find a big bull and then pack that bull elk out. Thanks for the heads up though Chuck, I do appreciate it. If it had been a concern, I wouldn’t have included the skyline shots.
Horrible shooting? Who is lying? Hey Scott Archulets - you may need to calm down a bit. The first shot was a little low and back, but adjustments were made and all other shots were absolutely on target and lethal. Settle down man. Maybe don’t jump to conclusions and certainly don’t accuse others of things that you very clearly don’t know. No lies were told. Don’t be dumb.
I was very impressed with these hunters! Odd comment, for those who get out there, do the hard work and practice, I think they can appreciate everything it takes to do this, shoot at this level and be willing to film and share it. If you aren’t in the arena getting out there and doing the same, ha, it’s easy to make comments like this. Hats off to these fellers and thanks for being willing to share it with us.
@@BMCBryce bryce i have had people give me a hard time bout hunting and i dont think RUclips helps to me that just gives hunters and bad rap for nothing cause i am a hunter i am not just killing and taking an elk or a deer or a killer of predators i am someone who believes in being a responsible stewart of the Land and i do not Want to judge cause We go hunting.
@@codywalker5219 thats appropriate i think RUclips gives hunters a bad rap cause i am not just killing for the heck of it and technology and youtubing isnt all that its cracked up to be respectfully yours
James. You certainly are entitled to your opinion. That is fair, but keep in mind, it’s just that - your opinion. Just because you feel that way doesn’t mean anyone else does. The strange thing is, if you don’t like hunting on RUclips, why in the world are you watching hunting videos on RUclips? That makes zero sense. I was going to point out that we all can participate or choose not to participate in things that we don’t like or enjoy. It’s still very much up to you to click and watch or turn it off. The other thing I feel needs to be pointed out… at no point was there any boasting or boastful behavior during this hunt or video. To celebrate an achievement or event or even a personal milestone is well within the bounds of being respectful. The hours of hard work and dedication behind the scenes are not as easily shown in a hunting video. Trevor and I celebrated this kill as a monumental achievement. As a culmination of the entire process and as a pure source of protein for family and friends. I still struggle with what you said about it not being a good look for hunters. The truth is, I do NOT care what non hunters think of me and my approach to life. I do not need their permission or approval for anything I do. I am unapologetically living the live that I have chosen to live. I’ve never understood the need for those that don’t like things (in this case a particular hunting video on RUclips) - to stick around, watch and even go as far as making absurd comments. It’s absolutely bonkers to me. If there is something that I strongly disagree with, there’s no way in Hell you’d catch me watching a RUclips video about it.
Nothing unethical shown in this video. Quality shot placement on a great bull. Anti hunters will never care how ethical or unethical it is, they will never be pleased. So, as long as it’s a good ethical hunt like this, share it with everyone who will enjoy.

Awesome hunt hunt. Dude you're are a hell of a shot but I recommend to trade that 243-win for at least a 7mm mag. Congratulations great job.
It’s funny you mention 7MM. That’s exactly what rifle Trevor used on this hunt. It certainly wasn’t a .243.

What a tough bull. What did he score? I guess 340!
We finally put the tape on him a couple days ago. Trevor’s bull scores 353 4/8. A real monster that is super unique and unbelievably cool.
What caliber is the rifle ?
7mm
Was this an unusually warm year for a 3rd season with no snow? Or is that normal where you’re hunting?
It was very very warm that year. Very little snow to speak of and temps much higher than normal for that time of year.
That awesome. Great filming too, specially that bullet trace.

Isn’t it fascinating that you think you know everything? I find it remarkable how quickly you can come to such profound conclusions without having been there, knowing the distance, the gun, cartridge, bullet weight, the elevation, the wind, the shooters ability, his practice, his experience… I could go on and on. Yet, somehow in your own mind have got everything figured out. Good for you. All I can say is you are wrong. Trevor was NOT under gunned. He was shooting a 7MM REM mag. You have also failed to realize how tough some elk are. This particular bull stood on his feet despite having two bullets rip through his heart. While neither of us wants to see any animal suffer, some animals have a stronger will to live than others. My biggest problem with your comment however, is that you assume too much when you know nothing. Go be the ethics police somewhere else… where it’s actually needed. Your condescending remarks are not warranted here especially from one “hunter” to another. If you are in fact a hunter, why would you spend your time attacking other hunters - that you can very clearly see are doing their best to legally take an animal as quickly and as painlessly as possible, care for the meat, and respect the land…?
My advice to you would be to calm down and troll elsewhere.
@@BMCBryce how far was it??
The shot took place from 438 yards out. Which was well within Trevor’s effective range.
@@BMCBryce 438 yds is long range? I’ve been a long range guy for over 35 years now I guess. I killed a cow elk on the 5th shot, in the neck at 160 yds shooting 180 gr PSP. The first 4 shots were fit insides a Pringles lid (lungs). She stood after the first shot. Shots 2,3 & 4 were sent as she continued to stand in her bed. Shot 5, I put in the ‘high shoulder’ height but in the neck. Lights out. Several slugs were recovered on the opposite side. Elk are tough critters. I’ll continue to be a “long range” hunter/shooter. Nice job on taking a great bull that was completely unaware of your presence. That’s what the 438 yd shot gives you; undisturbed, calm animals. 👍🏻
Comment was meant for the Ethics Committee.
Maybe remove the on-x clip. Not hard to find this spot. Nice elk!
Thanks
Nice job just please leave out coordinates.
Ok. There were no coordinates given. So that’s not a problem.
We need help Here in big horn park Kremmling, Colorado. Hunter's are trespassing and shooting game on lots. Nobody is doing anything about this, confrontation has proved to be dangerous.
Don't know if you guys realize you showed exactly where you hunted. Onx is great if you don't show it to God and everyone...great bull tho.. will probably be 35 camps below there next season.
Doubtful. It takes a lot of points to draw that tag and there isn’t an easy way in there. But yes, I was aware that I gave it away. I went above and beyond to do just that. God bless anyone that thinks it’s going to be easy to stroll in there find a big bull and then pack that bull elk out.
Thanks for the heads up though Chuck, I do appreciate it. If it had been a concern, I wouldn’t have included the skyline shots.
Mantap sir n prom Indonesia sir
Thank you. I think.
The first 3 shots were low. Horrible shooting! Liers
Horrible shooting? Who is lying? Hey Scott Archulets - you may need to calm down a bit. The first shot was a little low and back, but adjustments were made and all other shots were absolutely on target and lethal. Settle down man. Maybe don’t jump to conclusions and certainly don’t accuse others of things that you very clearly don’t know. No lies were told. Don’t be dumb.
Hey Archulets…. Don’t be a hater dude…. And don’t act like you’ve never had to take more than one shot…, Good Bull guys!
There was nothing wrong with any of those shots perfectly executed. LETS GO TREVOR.
ALL good shots and way to keep shooting until he was down!!
I was very impressed with these hunters! Odd comment, for those who get out there, do the hard work and practice, I think they can appreciate everything it takes to do this, shoot at this level and be willing to film and share it. If you aren’t in the arena getting out there and doing the same, ha, it’s easy to make comments like this. Hats off to these fellers and thanks for being willing to share it with us.
I am a hunter but i would not boast for filling Your tag And taking a life.
Thanks Cody. I appreciate your words man.
@@BMCBryce bryce i have had people give me a hard time bout hunting and i dont think RUclips helps to me that just gives hunters and bad rap for nothing cause i am a hunter i am not just killing and taking an elk or a deer or a killer of predators i am someone who believes in being a responsible stewart of the Land and i do not Want to judge cause We go hunting.
@@codywalker5219 thats appropriate i think RUclips gives hunters a bad rap cause i am not just killing for the heck of it and technology and youtubing isnt all that its cracked up to be respectfully yours
James. You certainly are entitled to your opinion. That is fair, but keep in mind, it’s just that - your opinion. Just because you feel that way doesn’t mean anyone else does. The strange thing is, if you don’t like hunting on RUclips, why in the world are you watching hunting videos on RUclips? That makes zero sense. I was going to point out that we all can participate or choose not to participate in things that we don’t like or enjoy. It’s still very much up to you to click and watch or turn it off.
The other thing I feel needs to be pointed out… at no point was there any boasting or boastful behavior during this hunt or video. To celebrate an achievement or event or even a personal milestone is well within the bounds of being respectful. The hours of hard work and dedication behind the scenes are not as easily shown in a hunting video. Trevor and I celebrated this kill as a monumental achievement. As a culmination of the entire process and as a pure source of protein for family and friends. I still struggle with what you said about it not being a good look for hunters. The truth is, I do NOT care what non hunters think of me and my approach to life. I do not need their permission or approval for anything I do. I am unapologetically living the live that I have chosen to live.
I’ve never understood the need for those that don’t like things (in this case a particular hunting video on RUclips) - to stick around, watch and even go as far as making absurd comments. It’s absolutely bonkers to me. If there is something that I strongly disagree with, there’s no way in Hell you’d catch me watching a RUclips video about it.
Nothing unethical shown in this video. Quality shot placement on a great bull. Anti hunters will never care how ethical or unethical it is, they will never be pleased. So, as long as it’s a good ethical hunt like this, share it with everyone who will enjoy.
New subscriber here. Love your video, really good footage! We have a similar RUclips channel if you want to check it out, "Hunt and Gather With the Chatters".
Thank you for the kind words. You guys have great stuff too. Keep up the good work.
What unit is that in?
