    “To tired to keep hiking, to cold to stop” classic western rifle hunt. Thanks for keeping it real. 👍

    I see a Llama in your future, you should name him "The Donnie Llama". Great bull!

    The real question everyone is wondering, “did Corey grab the shed antler on the way back out?”

  • @jeneprudentiii743
    @jeneprudentiii743 3 года назад

    There is nothing better than hunting with unselfish people. When the goal of the group is to see everyone be successful and doing what it takes to help everyone in that goal. Makes for the most memorable hunts.

    “If we build a fire we’ll never leave”, “I’m to tired to keep hiking and to cold to stop” these are the quotes that just absolutely sum up mountain elk hunting for me. It’s tough but man it is awesome when it all comes together. All of the cold and tired just goes away when you’re in good company packing meat. Congrats you guys.

    The highs and lows of elk hunting. You looked and sounded so defeated at the beginning of the episode, then to take such a nice bull really made all the hard work pay off. Congratulations!

  • @chuckswackhammer
    @chuckswackhammer 3 года назад +6

    I like how you guys say “you shoot, no you shoot”. Me and my brother both drew back on a bull that was at 35 yards raking his horns on a tree a few years ago and I said “on 3, you count”. He said “wa” and I let the arrow fly. I felt so bad. I couldn’t help it. He was still really happy that we killed him. And I woulda been really happy if he did the same. All he said was “you spot him, you got him”.

    @tylerberan4265 3 года назад

    These guys are awesome! I would say the hardest part of going hunting out west is finding the “Right” guys to go with. Selfless, encouraging, motivated, and willing to help each other is hard to find! I have that with my guys and it makes the hunt awesome regardless of the outcome! You guys are great!!

    John & Donnie are the definition of a great friends and those lama’s are real “life savers”😂. Awesome hunt, lights out shot on a dandy bull. That country is definitely nothing to joke about.

    @wyowrxjb6432 3 года назад

    I still think its awesome that Corey hasn't had or wanted to rifle hunt elk for as long as he has! And for Donnie to be so selfless without missing a beat and handing off that opportunity to Corey without hesitation is amazing!

    @jeffdysert5549 3 года назад

    Congrats on a great team effort in some big gnarly country. Thanks so much for sharing your passion of hunting and the outdoors. You guys are an inspiration to keep after it to achieve goals. Although the same physical challenges don't apply to hunting whitetails in the midwest where I live but the desire for a successful hunting season is the same. I've been fortunit enough to out west a few times and plan to continue as long as I can. I filled my first elk tag this past September on a Wyoming archery general tag. I shot a cow on the 4th day of a 5 day hunt. I was thrilled to death to say the least. My youngest daughter accompanied me on this hunt and made for some great memories. Thanks again for the inspiration and your voice for conservation.

  • @kylebattige375
    @kylebattige375 3 года назад

    Persistence pays off...not always, but quite often. I've had more than a handful of elk kills after I've made the decision to not pack up camp and go home or sleep in for a morning. I truly believe that some years you just need to surpass the point where the elk mountains have decided you've "earned" the opportunity...and climbing 2-3K vertical each day is certainly earning it. Good work!

  • @juliepiche7821
