The music and bugling is fairly loud but the whispering is driving me nuts...
“Found the nursery”. Love it! Nothing like being that close to elk even if they are small.
Those sunrises, sunsets, and scenery are well worth the price of admission. Gotta love mountain views.
Extreme patience. Got to admire a man that knows what he is looking for and is not going to settle for less.
Just no way I could’ve let that bull walk. That’s just to much meat for my family during the winter.
Got more patience then me. I would have been tickled to death with that one.
Another awesome day! Glad to see all sides of the hunt... when the wind and weather aren't cooperating or the Bulls just aren't heated up despite being nearly the middle of September. These are all real scenarios that are experienced by most of us during one hunt or another. Elk hunting is usually tough in one regard or another! Most of the time, it is many things working against us at once. Although this can be soul-crushing often times, when it all comes together, and the "magic" happens... there is nothing else like it on earth! #whywedoit
My husband will be making his fourth trip this fall to Idaho to try and fill his Idaho Elk Super Tag. Corey and Dirk gave him great advice as to what units to hunt and who to contact. He has seen more bulls in his 3 trips down than he has seen in his 50 years of hunting but has held out for "the one". He is going to make one more trip down and is hoping to seal the deal. He knows what he wants and has not wavered. Thank you Corey, Dirk and Donnie for your inspiration.
I’m beginning to think you guys don’t have a yeti to give away...
A couple more likes and a few more subscribers and they will be able to afford it. 😅🤣😅🤣. Just keep waiting. Lol
Has to be right. Didn’t see what he wanted. Nice that he had the patience.
That bull’s chuckle at 24:05 was spine tingling. So SICK!!!
The exhaustion after a hunch of long hunting days is actually a really satisfying feeling. Wouldn’t be elk hunting without it!
Must take a lot of restraint to not shoot and after that many days.
Don’t pass something on the first day that you’d be happy to have on the last day.
Always so fun being that close to any elk. That's why we love bow hunting so much, to be that close to the wildlife we love.
Really neat to see a bull so fully committed as he came charging in......love it...
That was the cutest group of little up and comers I've seen. "Nursery elk" lol
Would have taken any of those bulls, but that’s just me!
Makes you respect elk even more being that close to such huge animals! Gets the blood pumping for sure!
It's easy to sit here and play elk couch quarterback. Jeff passed on him. He knows the trophy class of bulls in the unit and the years it takes to draw the tag. Kudos to you Jeff, and I can't wait to see the bull you put your tag on!
The struggle is real! In a unit like that I would have held off too!
Quote of the show:
Jeff: “fully committed, charging down the hill”...watching that bull come rushing down the hill, even from my couch got my adrenaline flowing!
I don't think you have to truly love elk to be a great hunter, but it sure adds to the sport we love. I doubt I was the only one that smiled watching those three toe-heads being so curious!
True patience and perseverance right there, that was a nice bull but in a nice unit like that one I agree go for the bigger one.
Corey, these guys don’t fit your hunting style, that’s your brand. Trophy hunting ....
I totally disagree. Elk 101 is all about education. You can't educate everyone with only a single style. The more contrast the more people can learn and develop their own style.
Yep, he’s taught me a lot. They did not.
I shoot that Bull every day and twice on Sunday.
So enjoyed watching "the boy" come trotting down that hill. So close! I laughed and laughed. Shows how much fun bow hunting for elk can be!
The bull in the downed timber was fun to watch you to be patient and decides to watch and enjoy!
Don't know if I could've passed on that bull😁
I would of had meat on the table and a good story to go with it
Hey Guys,
Another Great Episode, I am so glad I can go back and watch them all again, I always miss something that is important.
Thanks.
Wow that last bull rushing in was awesome..... Keep it coming
Missed last nights episode so I get double episode tonight!
Tonight is the night. These bro’s are the real deal
Exactly right! Quitters never win in elk hunting! Keep the pursuit and perseverance and your chances of success are that much higher!
That’s the definition of confidence and after spending a bunch of out of state points might as well try to get as many encounters as you can. Shoot what makes you happy!!
I noticed twice that he pulls his quiver off at two of the “setups”. What’s his reasoning for that? I would think keep it on for second shots or run and gun situations.
I always practice with my quiver on for that reason
My only thought is that the fletching are so bright the elk might see them moving? Not sure if it would matter or not though.
It only takes one arrow, and the first one needs to count, don’t count on a second shot!!
"I'm about to even the score! Get ready!!"
Love these guys enthusiasm and GO. Great hunters to watch.
Those spikes at 4 steps were awesome! That's the kind of thing that makes every day in the mountains worth it.
I can’t wait to draw and hunt my home state of Wyoming again.
I would never pass on a bull you can’t eat the antlers
jacob olsen 💯
Seeing that rag horn bull and spikes walk right at the guys just shows how close you can get if the wind is blowing in the right direction.
The self control to be able to hold out after not seeing much all the days is impressive. A small harvest is better than no Harvest! I hope it works out. Good work Jeff.
"a small six" I never have seen a six point I didn't like!
That elk at 40 yards would have had an arrow headed its way.
Thanks for a well done episode. One advantage of shooting a recurve bow is that no range finder is needed.
Nice to see a bull come into archery range relaxed.
If I had of had my way, one of those bulls would have wound up in my freezer.
If that happened to me I would have tried to put a Broadhead shaped hole in him.....
They make a good example of persistently hunting good or bad. Thanks guys
When you get after it hard for six days in a row, a person need a break...a reset of the mind, body, and spirit. Jeff will come back fresh and get the job done. One can see his determination. Also what a cool, up close experience with those young bulls.
Rank amateur tip - I changed from the bright yellow fletchings to pink. The yellow ones can be difficult to find/see following a shot after the aspens have turned and start to drop their leaves.
Let em go, let em grow!!! I love watching hunters that have restraint and don’t want to end their hunt early!!!
Been whitetail hunting the last couple of days. Hard to concentrate on whitetails with big bulls on my mind. Excellent footage and no I would not have passed on that bull. Kudos to anyone with the will power to hold off for what they are looking for.
Temptations, temptations. For us majority of hunters that bull on 40 yards is stuff that dreams are made off, but for all the experience and knowledge that Jeff have it's easy for him to let it pass. He knows there is bigger bulls in there. Can't wait next episode.
Getting closer. These guys are good. Great episode. Definitely shows the changing interest of bulls over the course of the season.
The persistence pays off in all sorts of aspects of hunting any species. If you keep your head up through trials and errors it'll eventually pay off with opportunities to capitalize on. Another great video guys!
Man, that elk was MOVING down the hill through that clearing to the calling. Crazy to see him running down like that.
Everyone has different styles and ideas of how and when to harvest. These guys know what they're doing.
Up close action. Gotta love public land!!
Man I love coming home from a week of late season rifle hunting to watch these videos!
That country is so beautiful. Exciting to see them come in like that.
I am getting ready to hunt with a bow for the first time in many years so I have sooo much to do. It is great to see these hunts and how to find the right bull and the right area to hunt. I have always been a second season rifle hunter in Oregon and I think things are a bit different in September. I am learning a lot, thanks.
That bull came in like a freight train- hard to be ready for that. Let’em go; let’em grow!
Awesome to see that bull come in on a string! Great videos and thanks for all the tips for success!
Great action on this hunt. Love the commitment to shoot a big one.
Corey- I first saw you calling elk in competition
. I had no question about who the winner would be. The calling part of elk hunting is the high point in my 50 years of archery elk hunting. I think that I enjoy archery elk hunting even more than all the other hunting combined.
That was fun to watch. THey use the same three cow calls to get bring the caller and shooter back together.
Crazy with that much action and that bull coming off the mountain and not coming away with one
love the footage of the 4x4 and the two spikes . good nerve control to hold out for better. i doubt that i could.
Glad to see someone else squeeze a puffer as many times consecutively times as I do.
Awesome footage I’m not sure I would have been able to pass. That was a pretty good bull. Hats off to you Jeff for being patient.
I should not keep watching these everyday because it makes me want to be hunting soooo bad. Love these
Beautiful sunrise opening the show. Like the LIVE ACTION. Always tomorrow
Can't teach experience, but you can teach yourself by taking advantage of every situation. Good practice in the nursery. Knew the ranges, drew his bow, stopped the elk, settled the pin...dead elk. Best practice there is!
"Nursery elk" thats funny. That was up close and personal. What a cool set up. Almost had one.
That's an awesome encounter. That bull was 100% committed.
Can’t get enough of Elk 101 awesome videos
Interesting to see the difference between the spike elk. One of them looked like it had much larger bases than the other. It would be cool to see how they grow up.
Love calling in spikes. Especially when hunting has been slow. They are so responsive and curious.
The amount of drive yall have is the sign of a true sportsman
Not sure how many days he has left there, but that one 6 point that gave him an opportunity at 44 yards would be rather tempting. I don't think I could resist, but I have NEVER been elk hunting and our trip out west to Idaho for mule deer/black bear was my first western big game trip. I can't afford to pass up such an elk after 6 days. There is lots of meat on the hoof there, plus its about the experience not the overall gross antler score. But I applaud his restraint and confidence to get into an even bigger one.
Best channel on RUclips!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Jeff and the guys, I hope they get it done. They've definitely put in the work, just a matter of time.
Those guys walked their butts off. Love the determination
It would have been hard for me to pass that bull up considering how difficult the huntings been. Great perseverance!
Loving the scenery.
Awesome footage. Watching the hunting strategies is interesting and the footage is entertaining. I like the timelapse shot @ 4:44. Props for giving the hunt a break on Sunday.
What an amazing site seeing that bull coming running down the hill!
Those units take years to draw - good on ya for staying patient and making it the hunt you've been waiting for.
That rag horn and 2 spikes were in longbow range. One of my arrows would have been flying. That’s money for us Traditional archery hunters. The rush of elk in close, Love it.
The wind. It's a love/hate relationship. 90% of the time, I hate it. 10% I love it. Not sure I could have passed that bull but kudos to Jeff for holding out for a big one.
Talk about temptation 😀He was daring him to wrap his tag around his horns😃
That bull chuckling at the end was cool!
Chuckling at 40 yards was awesome!
Very nice footage. Love the nursery you called in.
Great poise and discipline to pass that bull. Look forward to the next video and good luck.
I support Jeff's decision as he spent a lot of his bonus points. Awesome video as always!
Proud of you for sticking to you goals and not settling for something you will disappointed in
Wow! Up close and personal with the spikes. So cool.
Great video. I probably would have let a arrow loose on that bull after that many days of hunting.
