@@chippyhacky there is more, just haven’t had time to get it together

@@406highlanders 👍 We're getting close. 43 days until the first tag. Almost got the mules legged up.

@@1UofACat12 Thanks for your feedback, I also don’t like music during the video but I do like a cool song at the beginning or end. There’s probably a lot of things I do that is “corny” but it’s my video and how I want to tell my story. If we were all alike with the same personality it wouldn’t be much fun. Regarding your second part of your statement I strongly disagree with your opinion on camo, you think the native Americans had camo? I’ve been bow hunting for 30 plus years and have killed a lot of bulls, and have been super close to a lot of bulls, with and without camo. In my opinion it doesn’t affect the outcome. Movement and the wind changing is what gets you busted. Honestly like to hear other people’s thoughts, and I know I can’t make everyone happy nor do I try. Thanks again

I listen to the whole video and didn't hear you say. But in the comments it says Montana, so thank you.

@@stephenballard3759 Montana, yes crunchy snow can be bad but there’s been times when I’ve walked up on animals in the crunchy snow that I thought I would have never been able to. More often than not it will screw you through

@@manraven1 thank you for your kind words. We actually just got back from a wilderness trip late last night, I’m so thankful to have a partner willing to go on these adventures. Sounds like you have a good partner as well to go with you. Have a great day

@@nancytrekker thanks for the comment, glad you liked it. The “Bob” is a little different place today than it was years ago. It’s become a very popular place and some of the wilderness experience is not the same, especially along the rivers but it is still an awesome place

Fifty caliber, 90 grains of powder

@@406highlanders THANK YOU. I HAVE A .50 CALIBER THAT I HAVE SETUP TO SHOOT 100 GRAINS WITH A PATCHED ROUND BALL.

@@bencullinan4419 that’s great, grandpas and old trucks are priceless.

@@traviscore8681 Thanks, appreciate the comment. Yeah it’s not that easy to get down, last year I went out again and hunted all day and was going to shoot the gun and it wouldn’t go off. I had a hell of a time getting it cleared out, lost several days of hunting. Good thing I didn’t see a giant. It is fun, good luck on your hunts

I live in montana so i am just wonering

southwest mt

@@virgilarnett9100 thanks for the comments, yeah it’s sad to see open land getting developed in a lot of areas.

Thanks, we appreciate the comments. A lot of good memories are made at hunting camp, I bet hunting camp with you dad is some of your fondest memories

@@406highlanders Absolutely

Thanks, I’m pretty sure you could carry a pistol, I know you can carry one while bow hunting. You just can’t use it in the aid of taking an animal

Fun times, having to deal with the ol G-bear. Sure be nice if we could manage them

Yeah he did, thanks for comments

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback

That sounds like quite a camp, hopefully you make a video of it. I’d like to check it out. Thanks for the comments

Thanks, I appreciate your comments. Your absolutely right about having a good hunting partner, It will make or break a hunt for sure.

Me aswell im from the Hamilton area

Thanks, we appreciate the comments

Thank you for your comments

Thanks, yeah got to do everything around here😂.

@@406highlanders haha right! I am the same way but wouldn’t have it any other way 😉

Thanks, we were in MT. You wouldn't want to stumble into Mr. G-bear on that carcass after dark, probably wouldn't end well

Yeah thats not our style

😂😂😂😂 okayyyy hunter get with shooting distance with a bow that’s a hunter 1000 yards shoot an animal yea that’s hunting too but not as rewarding as a bow kill

Thanks

We don’t call much but in certain situations we will. Two reasons, one the larger herd bulls are rarely going to come into calls in my experience and also we are hunting in an area with high populations of grizzly bears and they really like coming into calls. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for comment, we appreciate it

We always joke about midway through a tough hunt that if we weren’t so invested in elk hunting we should find something else to do 😂

@@406highlanders Same, last year we had decided we were gonna take up bowling 😃

Calm down there guy, no need for the attitude. We do our fair share of predator management.

@@406highlanders more like 406poser

@@406highlanders 1 bear hunt on your channel...like I said narcissistic poser.

Thanks for the comments

Thank you, glad you liked it

Nice, good luck to you

Thanks, he definitely held for a long time. Good luck to you as well

Thanks, we appreciate the feedback

Honestly, it just a cheap paddle that came with a cheap raft I had. Not sure what the brand of it is and I don’t know that I would recommend it. For something like these mountain lakes it works good but I wouldn’t want to depend on it going on a river expedition. Thanks

Thanks and to question #1, I packed a heavy load out the day I killed the bull. I actually weighed that load. It was 108 pounds. I had help from my cousin the next day to pack out the rest of the bull. #2, it was pretty early in the day when I got the bull, 8:30-9:00 timeframe. It took the rest of the day to get bull boned out and I transferred all the meat about a half mile to a main trail and the one load out. Did not hang meat in a tree, it was late in the year and bears were not prevalent. It would have been a issue if earlier in year for there is a shitload of grizzly in this location. Kill site to trailhead was three and a half miles, all fairly flat but there was some deep snow drifts that hindered travel. No vehicle travel allowed.

@@406highlanders Thanks for your reply and the 'rest of the story' after your kill. Most hunters and their YT videos I watch don't go into much detail about the extreme level of physical effort necessary to successfully get that boned out meat back to camp and cooled down asap. Looks like I'll need to really ramp up the cardio, hill climbs and weight training I'm already doing. I drew a bull elk tag for norther Arizona this late Nov.

Thanks, I'm ready for some more of it. Work has been hectic lately

That’s never how you want to make a trip happen but those trips are some of my most cherished. It’s good for the healing process I think. Thanks for commenting
