Nice Job Jeff! SUCCESS! Great calling Jason, y'all are a great team together. Love how the video makes me feel like I'm right there with you guys!
Jeremy Gatherum Amen! Couldn’t have done it without Jas! Brother from another mother!!
I really like how Jeff said he was "really Blessed".
You mention that its been slow, that you didn't have much action for us to see. Dude, it is nice to see that you also experience the lulls when hunting elk. And all this time I was thinking you weren't human. You're still my hero.
I appreciate the episodes that show each day whether it is successful or just bow hiking. This gives a realistic view of elk hunting. It’s nice to see that others struggle just as much as we do. Then, when you are successful after not giving up, the hunt is much more memorable. Congratulations. Looking forward to hunting Wyoming one day.
You got to love it when they stick oround for the second shot.
So cool!!! From the little calf coming by them squeaking to the bull coming in that close, the rocks made for perfect concealment.
Persistence, grit, & a never give up attitude paid off!!! Congrats!!!
Love the patience they displayed. Saw the bull with cows. Didn't push it too much, but stayed right where they knew they could have another good chance. Persistence paid off (and I think quite a bit of elk instinct being in the right place) to successfully harvest a mature bull. Awesome stuff!
Thoroughly enjoy Jeff, his twin, and the team put it all together. Jeff is one persistent Elk hunter...certainly one to emulate.
What an awesome episode. The calf, the bull, the shot, and the excited jumping around... absolutely incredible!! I would like to know how the other brother fared? Can you say #Yeti210, #Skousenbroslive, and another monster #destinationelk success! Woot, Woot.
Being that close to any wild animal is cool but being that close to an elk is on another level! Awesome job guys congrats!
YES. I’m glad that Jeff wasn’t only persistent and keep getting out there and hunting hard to fill his tag, but he knew what kind of bull he wanted. He was persistent on finding the right bull. That way when he filled his tag he could say all those years and preference point were worth it. Congratulations on a great bull. Yes I glad Corey introduced us to these guys I will definitely keep up on what they are doing. I learned a lot from these guys thank you elk 101 team.
Patience, Perseverance, Passion and Hard work pay off.
Definitely blessed, that is a beautiful bull!
Nothing like a lost calf setting things in motion!
You can’t help but smile when you see all the excitement on a hunters face when they capitalize on a hunt. Great follow up shot!
Congrats Jeff, excellent documentation of persistence. Congrats also to you Corey for producing the best elk hunting videos out there.
Persistence payed off for Jeff, glad he got one.
The only persistence I struggle with is in convincing my wife to let me go every weekend! lol.
Persistence was a huge factor here. The time in the woods and seeing the struggles is true to elk hunting fashion on public land. Love this series!
Great job sticking with it. All those miles paid off! Congratulations on a heck of a bull!
I love this time of day 🙌
It took me 17 days on the mountain to fill my elk tag this year in Utah. So yes persistence pays off. Jeff should name this bull “Persistence”! 😁
What a great bull for a week deserved hunter! Those men worked their butts off for that one! What an awesome episode! As always thanks so much for sharing!! Great hunt!!!
This is some great information! Persistence was definitely key. Interesting to see all the green undergrowth under those dead trees.
This was definitely a much needed kill. I really enjoy seeing people being successful in their hunts. Way to stick with it. I don't know that I would be that persistent after so many days without a kill. I may have lost interest. Good thing they relocated. Great job fellas. I could only dream about having a cooler like that. Hopefully someone who really needs it gets it. Good hunting fellas. Keep hunting and keep the hind quarters hanging. Love it.
Quote of the show:
Corey: “PERSISTENCE”....believe it
Man it's hard watching these and looking outside at the beginning of winter, knowing that the hunts are 9 months away. Love those encounters when they come running in bugleing the whole way. What a great memory to have
That cow walking by that close was really cool. Awesome bull
Congratulations on a great bull! Great series! Enjoyed the information about being able to shoot further for follow up shots. Enjoyed having the brothers on the show.
I liked that calf, what a great at about 2-3 yards. Then the big boy showed up and the shooter took care of business. Congrats on a great bull.
So glad I found this channel. Not an elk hunter, just a deer hunter from out east but damn, I cannot get enough of this elk hunting. Good luck on future hunts!
the persistence that this crew went through to get this hunt accomplished was nice to see and follow along. They taught me a lot about trying to fire off different kinds of calls and moving if it is not working in the particular area. Great series
What a shot and what a bull!! Great example of hard work and sticking to your goals!!
Nice work Jeff! It's fun seeing the brotherly love. Mark was my next door neighbor for years and moved into my aunts home. My brother Travis and I have been watching Cory for years now and we have been able to learn to bugle in bulls. We always talk about you guys when we are getting super tired in the high country. We keep telling ourselves that we need to get our butts in shape like Jeff and Mark. The little yearling was awesome. You can only hear a small elk talk like that in the mountains hunting elk.
Awesome show Corey! I must say I had my doubts. But those boys did have persistence great job! Keep up the great footage.
I'm hunting with my bow in November because you guys have inspired me! And yes I shoot it a lot. Lost my first six point three years ago. High lung and waited 45 minutes. Bumped him after 45 minutes. He only went 60 yards. Backed out and was awakened byup in my tent at 3 to a down pour.
Regardless of the 13 episode dry spell, it is still the best hunting series on RUclips! The Wyoming series was still top notch, even if it wasn't Cory and his "Dad". 😉
id agree about perseverance. I got my first Elk this year. Rosie in WA State. Took me 5 days and about 48 miles before getting it done in the evening on day 5. Ive never felt more accomplished. I put in the work all year and just kept going and going.
Many thanks for putting together a sequence of memorable hunts not rivaled this fall. Despite the lack of "success", your calling and tactics employed have been most beneficial. Strong work!!
Having the the calf run to the call was pretty neat but to have the bull come right after was an epic ending to the whole set up!
Yeah!!💪 Congratulations Jeff great shooting sir! Now we are eligible for a Yeti 210 cooler
Persistence and patience. He certainly could have been done earlier with a lesser bull. Sticking to his guns paid off and that's a beauty. Love the heavy mass and dark rack.
Great job. Can't believe how close that calf was.
Congratulations, on a fine bull. Indeed, perseverance definitely can play a roll in adding to the success. Keeping a positive outlook can be difficult at times.
I love to hear Corey, Dirk, and the BRO guys bugling to find elk, but it's refreshing to see a different style. These guys hardly bugle at all. They work the mountain more like deer hunters than elk hunters. Amazing bull! Congradulations!
That calf brought him right by you guys. Congrats on getting one
Awesome day for them. That bull was fired up. That's the kinda stuff that gets my blood boiling. The Scousen Bro's were fun to watch. I do miss Donnie's banter though. Keep it up E101
I knew that at some point all that persistence would pay off, and what a beautiful bull. Nice work guys and thank you for enabling all of us to tag along.
Never realized a big bull like that would be that concerned about a calf in distress; especially during the rut. Figured they would think it's the cow's job to look after them. As usual your videos are both entertaining and educational. Nice bull! Congratulations Jeff.
As far as the Skousen brothers... of course, good information, good scenery, and ELK!
Jeff and crew did a great job with this hunt. It is ok in my mind if you wait for the bigger bull. It is a decision every hunter must make...and it is a personal decision. It paid off...experience and persistence made it happen. Good episode.
Amazing hunt after such tough hunting the past 8 days. Persistence paid off for Jeff ! Awesome bull.
That was a cool calf encounter in the burn and CONGRATULATIONS on a nice Bull down!
Great bull! I agree. Follow up shots are incredibly important when there's already an arrow or bullet in an animal.
I told you I would be exhausted after watching Jeff pursue that bull. I fell like I watched a marathon!
I just want to say you guys are so awesome I can't say how much I appreciate you guys showing and teaching us all the things that took you years to learn! And making it so raw letting us all know no matter how good or how many years you have under your belt it will never be easy I think allot of people beat themselves up thinking they can't do it and you show it's always a struggle. And on top of it all for the ppl that haven't had the opportunity to really travel and hunt all over the place like I haven't had yet. it make me feel like I get a little bit of the experience. You guys make me feel like I'm Right along with you on the hunt keep it up guys your doing awesome
Yea! Yes I believe persistence is the key. And a little knowledge doesn't hurt either. Love watching. Can't wait for more.
WOW! Proof that patience, persistence and restraint will be rewarded. That is a phenomenal bull! Congratulations, I’m so happy for you!
All that work makes the end result so much more satisfying. Great job capturing the whole journey, great stuff
wow what a nice bull. congrats for hanging in there
Very fortunate to have that calf walk right by and not smell you. Great reward for that hard work. Congrats!
Awesome congrats to Jeff. Way to stick with it and not give up. The calf running by was awesome. Enjoyed watching all the hunts so far.
Congratulations Jeff and company! What a great bull, great adventure and great time!
I was able to learn a lot watching this series. The terrain alone is intimidating, appearing to be so open. A great hunt!
I think them guys did a good job on that hunt and would like to see more of them with y'all but I'm glad he finally found that 1 bull that got him excited and was successful. Congrats
Yeah baby!!! Way to stick with it and make the shot count on a beautiful bull!!! Such a great series and thanks for taking us along on your hunt Jeff!!! Persistence pays off 👊👊👊
Nicely done Jeff! Congrats on a GREAT bull. The flip got switched and it finally came together. I appreciate this section of the series showing the grind. Elk hunting can often be portrayed as easy and most of the time it's the exact opposite! Way to be persistent.
Awesome job getting that close when it is that windy, especially the follow up shot pin-wheeling him. Always fun to watch and learn from you guys.
Great camera shot of the calf at close range and a Hardy Well Done on a nice bull!!MIkeW
Every once in a while they do exactly what you need. Great job!
nice shot and the second was sweet good job Jeff . look forward to next year . hope that the wind is not as bad next year
Heck of a shot. That was an awesome hunt. Can’t wait for more Idaho!
Talk about persistence....Way to put miles on your boots and never giving up!
Always learn from these video clips. The patience Jeff showed, I need to learn that.
Heck yeah, great first shot, always nice to get another shot. Congratulations.
Persistence. Hard work pays off. Wouldn’t be fun if it was easy. Congratulations.
After all the preparation and e-scouting that goes into one of these hunts, I cant imagine how hard it is to just pick up camp and move, especially when you find elk. Making plan is important to it but its also important to be flexible and willing to learn on the fly and change plans in order to be successful and fill a freezer. Great job Jeff and what a shot!
Great bull... Jeff owes that calf for bringing him in.
Can’t believe the close footage when that calf came by just feet away. Just outstanding. Good job guys
When things just aren't going the way you you'd hoped, it's tough to stay motivated. Jeff Skousen and company got it done though. Thanks for outstanding footage!
What an incredible experience. There’s nothing like grinding it out to the point we cant do anything else and having God align the rest. Right place, right time, just enough faith, and a whole lot of grit. Congrats guys.
That was pretty cool spot and stalk episode especially with that calf walking on by at 2 yards completely oblivious and then the bull soon to follow. I am happy for Jeff after putting in all that time and energy to finally pin down a nice 6 point in Wyoming. Congrats Jeff and the team.
Nothing beats being close to the animals like that! And its always a bonus when you have service where you are hunting and can facetime family and friends to share in the experience in the moment! Congrats!
Great video thank you guys for capturing this! Nothing is better than watching a tag get notched out!
Well done from Illinois! You guys are why I'm coming out west for elk!
Liked the strategy for success, being persistent for something you want is worth it. And practicing those shot situations make a difference for sure. Awesome part of the series.
Awesome shot, really like the face-time. God bless guy's thanks for letting us be apart of your hunt👍👍
Follow up shot is money! that's exactly why I practice long shots in the off season.
I thought the close encounter with the calf was cool, but the bull was incredible!! NIce shot and great job by the caller. Thanks for hunting so hard to give us a great series!
Well done! Amazing footage and having a calf at 2 yards is crazy. Way to get two shots in the bull.
Holy smokes! What an awesome ambush spot. I could feel my own heart racing as that bull started across the trail towards where the calf had crossed. Sooooo coooool! Congrats on a great bull!
That was awesome! That bull was not going to let that calve get out of site! Jeff and the guys worked their butts off for that one. Well deserved👍
Staying the course is the only way to get where you need to be to accomplish what you want. I may not be a trophy chaser, but I understand their drive and you have to respect the effort these guys put in. Well done!
Yeah it's cool to see a tag filled, but it's really good to see all the struggles and failures along the way. It puts things into perspective and I think will help others stick with it when they are struggling. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
I never thought of using my bow to steady binoculars, learning something new. Thanks again for the videos!
That was a GREAT video! Could not hardly believe that cow who cruised by so close. Just all in all, educational and entertaining.
Best feeling in the world especially after running yourself into the ground mentally and physically for 8 days. Awesome job guys
Heck ya. Cool video. What an experience that must have been. I always feel like - with those real close encounters - I must be wearing a sign that animals can read, that says...."look at me" bc it never fails, they always spin their head and lock on to me. Im assuming they catch my scent.
Way to go Jeff. Awesome bull. Had my heart pounding watching that bull was coming in after that calf. Way to stay persistent. Congrats to the whole team.
Keep putting arrows in em if you can see them. Helps following the blood trail. Awesome bull. Congrats.
What a neat encounter with the calf and the bull following nearly the same route. Congrats Jeff and crew!
