    Does everyone at Elk101 that hunts together, look alike?? 😂

      Maybe they all looked completely different until they started hunting together?? Something in the Elk101 water?

      That way the elk can’t tell who the shooter is 😂

    Corey & Donnie - My comment is in reference to yesterday's conclusion of the Oregon Series. You guys were wondering if you should come back to Oregon in 2020 to hunt Roosevelts again. I hope you will. Here is why. There are NOT nearly as many videos of archery Roosevelt elk hunts as there are of archery Rocky Mountain elk hunts. Roosevelts are not easy to hunt, but you guys are helping bring to light those very real challenges. In that process, you are helping to educate people that hunt them, and that do not hunt them. When we see you guys struggle in hunting Roosevelts, it proves just how authentic your videos are regarding the public land hunts out there we are hunting. I really appreciate the exposure to Shannon Mobbs you gave us. I really did not know of him prior to this series. I am now viewing his videos. His style and strategy is very educational, and helps to give practical tactics. Also, when you allow us to see that you miss, or you make a marginal shot, it gives us more trust in who you are, and that you do not try to hide anything from us. Thank you for your transparency. Your struggles and disappointments actually encourage the rest of us that have struggled and had disappointments. It makes your productions real. It is my opinion that if you come back to Oregon in 2020, you will be giving more exposure to a segment of archery elk hunting that is underrepresented, underestimated, and underappreciated for its difficulty. I don't think your reason would be as much about "revenge" or "redemption" as it would be about "walking through the struggles until you reach the goal of success in harvesting a Roosevelt elk with a bow". Thank you for the opportunity to share my opinion, and I hope to see you in Oregon in 2020.

    Wyoming is a great elk state. I hunted elk here since I moved to Wyoming in 1997. I had to give it up when I became disabled in 2014 and I miss it. Keep up the great videos guys.

    I wonder how many were shocked that it wasn't C or Don on this episode. I love it! Keep it up! The more people on here, the more I learn, the more excited i am to try bow hunting for elk. ✌

  • @richhudkins8743
    @richhudkins8743 4 года назад

    What a difference a day makes. We go from seeing 20 yards max in Oregon to seeing 20 miles plus in Wyoming. Can't wait to see some elk on the ground. Good luck guys.

    @bjchapman3848 4 года назад

    I’ve spent the last 2 days binge watching this new season. Appreciate the content and the time yal devote to the pursuit of these animals. The bull lip curling just feet away in the intro gets me jacked everytime.

  • @brettyoungs6260
    @brettyoungs6260 4 года назад

    It's always exciting watching these episodes even if nothing was shot. I've antelope hunted in Wyoming, so I can definitely understand the difficulties of hunting in the wind there.

    Going from watching hunting shows on tv when I was a kid to watching shows such as Elk101 on RUclips I don’t even know how I thought those shows were good back then. I wouldn’t trade my hunting shows on RUclips for anything. Keep up the good work

    I grew up hunting the Rocky Mountain front and hardly ever had a day where the wind wasn't blowing. Hate hunting in the wind buy you got to take what mother nature gives you! Can't wait to see how the hunt goes.

    So cool to see the landscape change so drastically and the different elk behaviour that goes along with it.

  • @wyowrxjb6432
    @wyowrxjb6432 4 года назад

    The area these guys are hunting is awesome! The big rocky slopes make for some fun setups on rutting bulls. I am a Wyoming native and that wind can make or break a hunt as I've learned time and time again. I have actually had alot of success on high wind days as it helps cover my noise as it allows me to sneak in closer and create opportunities. Great content again!

  • @ericbwaldron

  • @codymontgomery17
    @codymontgomery17 4 года назад +1

    Love the country Rockies live in. I like that you guys are showing both rocky mountain and roosevelt elk. Our elk here in central bc seem to behave somewhere in the middle even though they are Rockies.

    Cool to vicariously learn about managing wind. BY the time I posted this comment, and after episode 28 was released, on 12/09/19 this video reached 22,488 views. Fun to look back and see the progression of each video.

    To illustrate the kind of guys Jeff and Mark are, I lost my elk tag in the field a few years back and they found it and gave to their brother who lived a few blocks from me to return it. If you guys are anything like your older brother, you're a couple of great guys. Looking forward to see your success on camera.
