    Can’t believe how that rifle shoots. Multiple people shooting 500yds plus and all right on the money. Very impressive! Too bad the weather turned off! Love the adventure.

      It is an absolutely amazing rifle! I’ve had so many people shoot it to shoots the same way every time

    Enjoyed this episode, Kendall seems like a great guy to hunt with. Always great to see your Dad along with the mules and horses, makes for an easier pack out when the time comes! Thanks and I enjoyed tagging along!

    Been a rough season on ol’ blue. Can’t wait to see what gets turned up when that weather breaks! That country you’re in is awesome, but when it’s covered in snow it looks like something described in a story book. Absolutely breathtaking

    Some of the best memories I have hunting were in a wall tent socked in with bad weather. I love listening to my dad's old hunting stories from back in the day when hunting was way better.

  • @chrisbeck3587
    @chrisbeck3587 10 месяцев назад +1

    Wall tents and Snow! Some of the best times in the mountains is during a snow storm. But it makes it more enjoyable knowing you can get out. Loved the hunt!

    That wet white stuff is a blessing and a curse, makes spotting game so much easier, but makes everything else so hard. Best deer hunt I have had recently we spent 2 hours stuck in a ditch due to snow, but our party tagged out 3 for 3 with good bucks. The bucks had to share the ride home in the bed of the truck with my front bumper.
    I dropped an email for winning this episodes drawing. Looking forward to some tasty snacks on some upcoming shed hunts.

    @cdherb6488 10 месяцев назад +1

    Looks like quite the adventure. Sorry about your truck. I liked the shot of your dad coming out of the trees and fog. That’s one to remember. I wish my dad could still get out but we made memories while we could. Thanks for the video

    @yotaclimber 10 месяцев назад +1

    Obviously the weather elements tell a story but... I dont know what it is about this spot you hunt every year but I swear the story is so much more impactful. I love this hunt every year. it draws me in like no other!

  • @jakegarbani7046
    @jakegarbani7046 9 месяцев назад +1

    Sometimes you just gotta step back and let the weather do its thing. I was hopeful to see success in the rough conditions, but I’m stoked to see how y’all bounced back in the upcoming video!

    Man that looked like a tough hunt. Nothing seemed to go in your favor. Sucks about your truck window and door getting busted up. Glad that was as bad as it was and you all are okay and no one got hurt. Lookin forward to the next episode!

    Ross- thank you again for your latest episode. The icon Tour has been a blast. Glad to see your dad back out there hunting with you and cherish the moments you have to spend with your father. I have some pictures I’m going to email you from my last year Idaho Elk for 2023. My son, Jared was successful in helping me harvest a beautiful bowl in Idaho. Six months later he just recently told me that I would’ve done anything to make sure you were successful on your hunt and the time that we have to spend together I’ll cherish forever. I will email you some pictures of my hunt with my son. Thank you, David

  • @mattgoin
    @mattgoin 10 месяцев назад

    Gotta listen to your gut! It shows right there! Trusting the weather in the backcountry is a gamble. Glad it was just a truck door, and nobody got hurt. Thanks for sharin, Ross! Can't wait to see what comes from the hard work being put in.

  • @2A-Rebelhound1
    @2A-Rebelhound1 10 месяцев назад +1

    Ya get an idea what you’re in for from looking at forecasts, you plan accordingly. But, you still have to be willing to call the trip short when weather turns worse. Good call on that. The truck is just a truck, that’s why we got insurance. Y’all got off the mountain safely and no one was hurt. That’s the important thing. Elk will still be there when the weather clears. Keep at it! Gettin that southern boy broke into our Idaho mountains and bipolar weather! Hahahaha

  • @dacary4dacary484

    @jmcsflem 10 месяцев назад +1

    That cross magnum is amazing. First two shots on the gun and was able to do some incredible shots. That’s tuff, having to pack up such a big camp just a few days after you set up.

  • @jaredelton6041
    @jaredelton6041 10 месяцев назад

    Glad you guys made it out safely and followed the gut feeling of “if you are afraid of dying you don’t belong here”. The backcountry is the brutal mistress that just seems to draw us back in over and over 😝

  • @jameswernimgjr4994
    @jameswernimgjr4994 10 месяцев назад

    I think you made the right choice. The snow can add up fast in the back country and make it dangerous to get out, especially with horses. There are always more opportunities out there. Keep up the good work. Stay safe out there and God Bless.
