Opening Minute Bull! - Montana Elk | (Amazon Episode)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2019
- Randy Newberg is joined by Beau Baty of Wilderness Ridge Trail Llamas, and Lucas Burt of Leupold Optics for opening weekend of Montana's elk season. This is a general over-the-counter unit that anyone can go and hunt.
Using llamas to help pack up their gear, camp and water; they head deep into the public lands of Montana. After setting up camp, they are able to have a whole day to scout before the season opens. They are able to locate several different groups of elk, with high anticipation for the morning.
They split up for opening morning. Beau hears a bugle right away in the morning. They get well within shooting range and have to wait patiently for legal shooting light. As soon as the clock strikes, Beau pulls the trigger and ends his hunt 10 seconds into the season.
Lucas and Randy continue to hunt the rest of the week. The next day they are able to locate and bull and try to get an opportunity for Lucas. They've got 3 elk tags to fill and several days to do it.

I love the vids with Beau. Such a genuine, friendly man. My prayers are with him and his family.
What I like about Randy is that he is just as happy for the other guy as he would be for himself.
Been around horses for the last 20 years or so, and I'm pretty tuned in to their body language. Those damn lamas always seem like their laughing at me or have some sort of secret. They make me smile in some sort of inexplicable way.
Randy you feel lucky to be there. And I feel lucky to enjoy your shows. They are a pleasure to watch.
Awesome! Opening morning bull on public land. Doesn't get better than that. and Beau gets to cook and serve his elk the rest of the time in camp. Nice! Heartbreaker for Lucas. But at least he was out there.
Congrats to Beau for shooting that elk right at his dream spot and much respect to Lucas how he never gave up tracking his wounded elk over time and distance even though in the end another hunter took it...this is how it's done right.
I am going on my first ever elk hunt for this November in the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest. I cannot wait for this adventure!
I think this might be my favourite video from randy. Any video with Beau is just top notch
Randy, I must say that you are the friend I wished I could have had in my life, I am happy to at least been able to watch you and everyone else on your videos, thank you sir.
Beau, congrats on a great bull! Your enthusiasm and thankful spirit are contagious! Makes others, myself in particular, start dreaming about doing the same thing! Well done, but keep on doing videos! You and your comrads are great representatives of the hunting community. Thanks!
Now, I'll finish watching the video!😄
Randy, keep up the good work, you're the best.
Couldn’t have happened to a better man than Beau Get well soon brother
Randy you have a way of teaching without teaching, you have done fantastic things with your videos, with life lessons!
GOD BLESS
Randy your outlook on hunting and sharing time in God’s creation with good folks is very uplifting to this 70 yr old hunter. Thank you
That’s awesome!! Love it!! I had about the same thing happen to me with a 195” mule deer. 10min after legal shooting (and thank god for good glass because it was DARK from the weather)and dumped him about 5 yards from the private fence from a range of 605yrds. Best feeling of my life. And the best part my little brother and dad we’re both there.
There is nothing like coming home from work to a new Randy Newberg clip. Great video and love the new intro, keep up the good work👍
This is last year video... not new
@@meghan7547 yeah I know, but this is a shout out for every clip that's being uploaded now. Need my Randy Newberg fix in these huntless days. And this video is different edited from the episodes 👍😊
@@diArcipE No it is not... this was shown exactly the same... 6-8 months ago or so. Just saying.. it is far from new.
@megan754 it is edited different, I watched the show last night
Randy I’ll be watching your videos to fill my hunting void till they put you in a rocking chair, from my rocking chair! I have been for a while now as I injured my lower back a few years ago and am not able to hunt my self. Keep ‘em comin!!!
I remember this hunt as a series on YT before it finally was able to make it to Amazon and now back in Amazon complete form. I am pretty sure this was the first episode that I remember watching that I was introduced to Beau Betty and those WTLlamas. Happy for him to fulfill his dream in the first 30 secs of shooting light on the first day of rifle in MT. I feel for Lucas, but always good to see someone committed to making sure they gave everything to find an injured animal. He too has that code, where he is only hunting that animal until there is a conclusion. Thanks for sharing.
Beau.... You earned that one. Good for you bring able to make a dream become reality. I'm looking forward to all the videos this year.
24:40 missed shot on the bull sure looks like he tagged the cow elk behind the bull..... look between the legs of the bull. Big fan of the show but taking a pressured shot like that gives me a bad feeling. Hope I am wrong
I'm with ya, that made me cringe a bit.
Wow! Great job Bo.
How can you not just get pumped up by watching this! Love the camaraderie, guys!
Thank God for giving us these bueatiful Animals to hunt and be in there Magnificent Country Mountains. The magnificent Bull Elk. And Huge Mule deer.
Fascinating , intriguing , thoroughly enjoyable , great footage , great content , stunning country , and really nice guys hunting / teaming up together with awesome attitude ! A Rare combination . Well done guys !
Lucas, I'm impressed that you followed that bull up but i personally don't think you should have taken the shot. The cow and calf were right behind him.
I agree with you 100%. Almost looked like he hit a cow on the first shot that missed the bull. Be aware of your target and beyond is all I can say.
Your lucky to have that many good friends to join you. I need to find a friend with llamas
You pay high dollar for that kinda hunt
You can literally pay beau to come with you
Beau's the best!
What a fun, hard hunting group!!!!
That shot at 24:48 was completely unethical. There was a cow bedded right behind that Bull. In fact, she was probably fragmented by your first missed shot. I know you guys want to make a show and there's tons of pressure to make the most of every opportunity. However, as hunter we are responsible for putting ethics first. This should be reconsidered with the Newberg team.
Dude it looked like the vapor trail put the bullet hitting her in the nose
Say what you will about the shot. Remember that you are looking through the camera lens, not the rifle scope. That is often two very different sight pictures and you can’t know what Lucas was seeing. If you paid attention, he was having trouble locating the bull when the rest of us could see him in the lens and Beau could see him plainly in the spotting scope. Both the camera and the spotter were probably 24 inches higher off the ground than was the rifle scope. I’m not opposed to judging people’s actions, but rushing to judgement without all the information is why civilized people insist on courts and evidence rather than lynch mobs. Speaking of judging people, what I did see was Lucas and the crew putting in some serious effort tracking that wounded animal to conclusion. That takes heart. I also saw them pass on shooting another bull because they could not see evidence of a hit they were not certain (at that time) had been made. That takes restraint. So Tylerp2600, I do think you’re rushing to judgement and disparaging Lucas, and the “Newberg team” without the evidence to do so, and dismissing evidence to the contrary.
I was thinking the same thing watched it over and over had she been looking down the hill as she was when the bull stepped out she would have been hit for sure but it does look like a VERY close miss hitting the tree.
Absolutely -- dude missed his target but shot the elk behind it in the head!!
Excellent words Randy. God bless
As we all get a little older we realise it is not about the shot and the kill or the trophy. It is who we share it with and the experience. That experience can be from the mountains of North East Scotland to the rolling gentle South Downs of England and across the pond to the wonderful open spaces of the USA from Florida to Alaska. My bucket list includes a trip to Montana elk hunting. When this lockdown is over and done with, it is time to get back into shape and get on the hill
If Randy Newberg can do it, I can do it. I'm a whole year younger than he is!
Fantastic episode! Happy for all of you.
Oh look, a video of someone NOT shooting at shit from the window of their truck. They actually scouted and did a modicum of work to get rewarded. I wonder if Ford is selling window motors in MILs or MOA these days...... Thanks Randy for setting the bar at least higher than trolling the local highway shooting from the road.
Not sure if anyone noticed but looked like when he missed that bull he shot a cow elk right behind the bull! This guy needs to take more care when taking a shot and make sure there’s nothing standing behind the target! You watch the vapor trail and it sure looks like it can’t really close to shooting a cow instead of the bull!
Came here to say this. Bit of an irresponsible shot considering the cow right behind him.
Agreed!! 100% read my mind
Probably hit that cow in the jaw or muzzle area.
If you take a good look the bullet hit the ground way low
Should of waited for the cows to move??
What a way to start and end your season. CONGRATS!
Thank you !! Your a blessed man !
Wonderful just wonderful
I am grateful to see a Honest representation of real hunting. Where things go wrong
Looks like you shot a cow! Than on your second shot you got a bull. 24:43
I was wondering if he hit that cow behind the bull as well. Risky shot with a cow right behind him.
what a group ........would enjoy these guys as well Beau is the mountain Llama MAN
I love this story.
Looking forward to another season of hunting videos Randy hope your ticker doing better!
Randy ur spot on live it up hunt while u can
I really enjoyed this video!
Thank you for taking us along. ^5
Thanks for following along.
outstanding ....watched while i made white tail burgers....heading to southern bc on tuesday....got a pocketful of tags and a beater honda civic....wish me luck...ill need it
We can all say with fair confidence that he hit that cow...
Well done Parente! Awesome hunt and very well done video.
Great video. Congratulations on a nice bull Beau
awesome video Randy !
Heck ya! Another awesome episode, Randy! Congrats to y'all and good luck the rest of the Fall!
Thanks, you too.
Great hunt and superb video Randy! It’s still a lot of work even for the elk expert they you are!
I’m getting ready for my first ever elk hunt - third rifle in Colorado. Love watching your videos. Hopefully, I’m learning a lot.
wadeholt97 Wish you luck! I’m hunting 3rd rifle in Colorado also. First time hunting with my son. It’ll be good no matter how we do.
Another great hunting video!
Hopefully Lucas learned from this elk trip. We have all been in his shoes when we were his age. In 1972 dad bought me a Weatherby Vangard with a Bushnel scope. Several years later while chasing Elk I was try to take an early morning shot into the back of an Elk on a slope almost looking into the morning sun. The optics just was not good enough to filter out the glare or our hunt was a bust. The next day Zeus’s scopes went on both of our rifles and that was the last of our problems. One thing we did buy when laser bore sightseers came out is we could check our rifles aim in hunting camp to make sure the scope did not lose it sights. I think Lucas took a poor shot. But if he had this bore slighter he might not have missed. It’s hard to believe a Leopold scope lost its aim. A great scope. I hope Beau is feeling better as well. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
Wow luck was definitely in ur favor congrats great bull!
I need friends like yall!! damn just absolutely amazing! wish i was friends with Randy!
Fantastic episode once again! Keep it up!
Thanks Matthew.
man I thought you hit a cow on that first shot @ 24:48
I thought that too, but the camera angle is different from the shooting angle.
Probably did hit the cow....that was a very unethical shot to take when that cow was behind the bull like that....very disappointing to see
The guy is Leupold's sales rep and... doesn't know how to use his own optics.
@@k_dot33 He didn't hit the cow. There would've been multiple blood trails.
@@Bneumanns124 if they chose to show multiple blood trails....which they'd never show us that
Awesome hunt and congratulations on the bull first light don’t happen very often
Maybe once in a lifetime
Great trip.
32:42 It's really tough to have a great attitude after something like this happens. Positivity is an admirable trait. I hope if this ever happens to me, I'm able to remember this and hold that same perspective.
Way to go Beau!!!
The right attitude young man tough broke
Loved the video, good job guys.
I guess it would be considered a “unit” boundary if it’s a different state. Been a few years since I ran into you and Kirkley in that country.
@@gradyholt8179 the good old days hope all is well
I obviously know that we are viewing this through a camera lens and not the rifle scope, but Lucas was laying prone directly beneath that camera. The position he was in puts him directly in line with the elk that we were viewing, just a little bit lower. At 24:49 he shoots at the bull with a bedded cow behind him. Even if he is slightly to the right of the camera, that cow was way too close and I believe that the shot shouldn't have been taken. I have slowed the video down and followed the vapor trail of the bullet and it appears that his shot was low and a little in front of the bulls hind legs (low right.) I dont typically like to speculate without further research and info, but I'm fairly certain that he may have accidentally hit that cow. Mistakes can happen, I just hope that this was investigated by the team to ensure that in the event that the cow was shot, the right thing was done.
100% agree....that's what I am saying...just from watching regular....it appears it might have hit the cow....
Too bad (Lucas)… that's a tough one to let go of. You deserve a bull of equal/better quality for your efforts. I hope we get to see it taken on film.
Congrats Beau! Great plan, great (although nerve-racking) execution. That'll be many joyful meals at the family table.
Randy, your glory was taken!! Someone else caped out that bull! Wassup wit' 'dat? I hope they bought you a Dilly Bar in return.
Awesome!
I recently moved from Great Falls to Arizona and I do miss that over the counter tags that Montana offers. But other than that I enjoy the weather and hunting AZ offers haha
Well Randy your exactly correct, it happen to me, as a dedicated hunter and fisherman. In 2002 I was Diagnosed without Ulcerative colitis in my Colon, believe me it was Hell, I had to retire from my work as a Heavy Equipment Local#3 Operator. My hunting and fish end up nonexistent. Luck for myself , I had killed several large mule deer, several bull Elk. But what really hurts is my daughter and Sonlaw decided to become Hunters, and not to be able to hunt with them was a tough situation. For me.
Wow i wish i could! We only get a small chance to get a ballet tag here in New Zealand but you couldn't take llamas ( Bummer ) You Guy's are very lucky ( But hay we can shoot Reds all day long with no tags ) Magic place and magic mates you get to go spend TIME with thanks ...
Praying for Beau this evening.
Thank you.
Was that cow right behind the bull when he shot or do my eyes deceive me??
i'm literally scrolling through the comments looking for this exact one.... It looks like that bullet could have pelted that cow
Beau you should know Randy is not off on a crazy goose chase it's always a grouse chase
Really enjoyed this episode right before my first rifle elk hunt in a week. Lots of great information. What size bipod are you using in this vid?
I was surprised that Lucas fired again after his first shot. Unless he KNEW why the first one was so far off target, the second shot was a Hail Mary.
Not a great call by his spotter. Splash was clearly at the elk's feet. He should have measured the distance between the feet and the kill zone and then held that distance above where he wanted to hit.
He wanted to finish the calf he shot
@@arttrumbo9496 If distance was measured, not guessed, and unless Lucas's rest slipped as he fired, the two most likely explanations are: Sight was off or he had no idea where bullet would impact at that distance. If either of those two, a second shot was not a good idea.
@@EricRush my guess is the angle might have come into play as well. It looks like he is shooting well above him. I'm not sure exactly how that would affect his trajectory though. But if his spotter saw the impact of that first round (and it seemed like he did) it's reasonable to measure the impact from the desired target and call a quick correction. It looks more like he ballparked it though and gave the shooter a short correction which is really common.
It would have been interesting and worthwhile to include information about the reason for the low shots. I don’t think it was unethical to take the second shot. We’ve all pulled one in the heat of the moment. A breath, steady mind and a deliberate squeeze will often make the second shot right. I don’t think I’d let a spotter tell me where to hold. I’d range it again (its easy to mis a range, pick up an obstruction) and then hold steady on the target at the correct range. If the second shot was at the feet, I’d hang it up till the rifle was sighted in again. I’m not sure if that crew did take a check shot on their firearms once they got to camp and before going out, but they should, and Randy would be making yet another of many very good points by showing that. I think those guys did an admirable job of restraining themselves from shooting a third time, and of tracking that injured bull to conclusion.
congrats
Well I do up to see and watched every single one eater hunting shows I find them very fast moving towards how far you guys actually go to get an elk or to get a meal daughter or a month or a white till I love watching all your videos and is nothing like eating that Wild Meat love wild meat
I think the first missed shot ( time stamp around 24:49) was low but perhaps hit the other elk in the HEAD! Jesus guys don’t shoot when there are elk BEHIND your target!!!!!
Great hunt. We enjoyed watching it and dreaming of making a trip like that sometime in the future. How wonderful that you produce these movies for us to watch, dream and plan with. Thanks! I do have one question for Randy or Lucas. Did you go to the range afterward and discover the reason the shots were low? We all pull one sometimes, and I thought that’s what the first shot was, but the second shot was exactly where it should have been if the first shot was on point and steady. So, was the scope nocked? Was the rangefinder picking up a stray reflection? I think it would be worth adding that information to the end of the video. I’ve gone and added comments to all the disparaging comments below because I think Lucas does not deserve the judgements some folks laid out. Here’s what I saw, and I say hats off to those fellows and to Lucas for having the courage to share that disappointment with us so that we could understand hunting is not all about fist pumping, and how to deal with the tough blows like a man.
Yes, there were cows. Elk are herd animals. There are always other elk. Nobody holds off because other elk are near. People do hold off when it clear there are other elk, or just blue sky, behind the target elk. Say what you will about the shot. Remember that you are looking through the camera lens, not the rifle scope. That is often two very different sight pictures and you can’t know what Lucas was seeing. If you paid attention, he was having trouble locating the bull when the rest of us could see him in the lens and Beau could see him plainly in the spotting scope. Both the camera and the spotter were probably 24 inches higher off the ground than was the rifle scope. I’m not opposed to judging people’s actions, but rushing to judgement without all the information is why civilized people insist on courts and evidence rather than lynch mobs. Speaking of judging people, what I did see was Lucas and the crew putting in some serious effort tracking that wounded animal to conclusion. That takes heart. I also saw them pass on shooting another bull because they could not see evidence of a hit they were not certain (at that time) had been made. That takes restraint.
Love your videos. Want to comment that that first miss on the bull was a shot with several elk right behind it and around it. It was very low and could have easily wounded another elk. I think you will agree it was not an ethical or good shot, and I feel this should have been addressed in the video. Thanks.
Nobody notice the shot taken with the cow and calf directly behind the bull? Fortunately it was low but it's something everyone needs to be mindful of when shooting.
What weight of bullet did Beau shoot in his Howa .308?
Is it ok to shoot at an animal standing in front of a bedded animal? Couldn't you wound the animal behind or sitting under the animal... @ 25 mins?
You are correct, it is not okay to shoot an animal standing in front of another.
leopold cant have any better people work for them
Bring enough gun good show
Great attitude Lucas! You may lose animals in your hunting career, but not your character!
No water ? I see snow.......... Randys from MN / shouldnt be a problem...
No matter how many years I hunt, the one thing I still hate to hear each time out is, "today is the last day".
12 Llamas, the food and logistics just around that would be insane. How many Llama's were just carrying supplies to feed all the Llama's?
On the second hunt, did you guys go over to the other hunter to at least see where his shot hit? It looked like a perfect heart shot in the video, i dont understand unless it missed just low into brisket?
Yea, this, "we saw it was a leg hit," does not match the shot in the video. I watched it countless times, and it looks boiler room. The first shot might have tagged his lower leg, but the 2nd shot looks in the crease behind the shoulder. I guess the angle could affect things, but based on POI, that bull was not hit in the leg. Maybe the off leg. but on side... no not the leg. Big what if, but what if your bull was dead on the mountain and you couldn't find it, but the other hunter killed bull was the 2nd bull you spoke of. That seems more legitimate. The footage we see just does not match the story, and in 7 seasons, that is the first time that has happened.
👍👍👍 👊
Looks to me like Luke hits a cow in the mouth when he misses that bull. Seems to me they should have looked for it.
Was that guys rifle on? Last year in camp 2 guys dropped their rifles out of scabbards and missed shots at less then 200 yds. The mone guy also missed a shot at 400 yds. That's why I double check my zero every time I can.
I rewound the video several times trying to see if you have your llamas loose. Mine would probably be hard to catch if I left them untied.
Wow.....
Beau said he glanced at hi phone for shooting time. Was he using a particular app that tracks shooting time?
I'm not aware of a particular app that tracks shooting time. Where I hunt legal light starts 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset. I check these times each day when I go out.
@@unemployedlogger Ok. Thanks. Same here.
You can just check legal shooting hours online before you go out. I'm pretty sure he was just looking at the clock on his phone.
Don't they teach you to watch your backdrop in hunters ed?! Why shoot when there were 2 cows behind the bull? Looked like he damn near hit that bedded cow in the neck or head!
Probably did hit the cow
Say what you will about the shot. Remember that you are looking through the camera lens, not the rifle scope. That is often two very different sight pictures and you can’t know what Lucas was seeing. If you paid attention, he was having trouble locating the bull when the rest of us could see him in the lens and Beau could see him plainly in the spotting scope.

that hunter is going to be pissed at how much of the meat is blood shot
What would happen if someone showed up in Kuiu gear to hunt with Randy?
Bad shot that never should have been taken. There were cows behind that bull. Not worth wounding multiple. I too have lost good bulls to other public land hunters. Part of the game.
Surprised that you were above the elk, seems like you would be upwind and they would smell ya...
