    I absolutely dream of hunting on the mountain like that everything I am not hunting. The scenery is simply magnificent. To think, most Americans never even see a landscape as beautiful as that. I'm glad I was raised in the wild and taught to respect it. Every time I see videos like yours, it takes me there, and the rest of the world fades out, leaving me and Mother Nature. Thank you for bringing me along in your journey of a lifetime. I look forward to the next one.

    I love this! There is something so special about hunting Elk. You could have everything going wrong in your life; cancer, loss of a loved one, family struggles, and yet the second your boots hit the ground that all drifts away. For a moment you have a reprieve. Thank you for making these films for us to live vicariously through and escape for a minute.

    The camaraderie and teamwork is what gets me. I dream of hunts like this and I’ve only been bow hunting whitetails in Pennsylvania. These sorts of videos get me psyched for that one possible day. Love it!

    Really enjoyed this. It’s tough for a father/husband to make it to the elk woods every year on an average salary. Not to mention the added stress of being gone for an extended time. My brother and I go as far to split a tag when we go to save cost just to get out there as much as possible. These videos really get me pumped up and keep me pushing.

    A hunt is more than tagging an animal. It is a journey, an experience against the elements, no matter how troublesome they may be, with good friends that cherish the opportunity to be outside. Making memories is what will most remembered…. Nicely done Jason! U all earned that one.

    As an avid elk hunter that enjoys the journey, the tracking, the chess game between man and elk, the fun with friends and family, and just being in beautiful nature is the whole reason for hunting. This is a great video that brings back all the memories I've had and will continue to have as long as I'm able, thanks!!
