7 Bulls Within Bow Range! EPISODE 9 (Destination Elk V5)

DON'T FALL FOR SCAMMERS! Elk101 will not contact you through a KZbin message, and we will never ask you to pay for any part of a giveaway - not even shipping!
*************************************************
Donnie and cameraman Roy are back up above camp looking for the bulls from yesterday morning, while Corey is shuttling loads of elk meat out of the backcountry back to the trailhead.
Cory and TEAM ANGRY SPIKE are back on yet another bugling bull, and are pushing in to get set up.
Tyler had a horse come up sick, so he had to make an emergency trip to the vet, leaving cameraman Ty Stubblefield to do some calling and raking, in addition to filming, for Lenny and TEAM PURE ELEVATION.
And TEAM SKOUSEN has perhaps one of the greatest elk experiences of all time, with at least 7 different bulls within bow range, including a 6x6 herd bull broadside at 10 yards.
Will Mark fill his tag, and put TEAM SKOUSEN on the board as the first team to fully tag out?
Join us for the Morning Hunts of Day 5!

[@benjigrady7485]

Grand finally makes me sad talking about the season ending, but that means i can go back to season 1 and watch it all again.. thank you for the great content and education

[@mikefievet7205]

I’ll bet there will be 2 dad jokes on the next episode.

[@daleenanjeremygreen640]

The hunting tactics of the Skousen bros is so informative. Patience, endurance, letting the situation develop. And yet aggressive when needed. Have learned so much from watching them these past couple seasons.

[@nickjohnson1428]

Skousen Bro's are having a hell of a season. Everyone wants to be successful but having the interactions these two are having with elk is what makes it fun. Cant wait for the next episode hopefully they find there bull.

[@LaneSmith-jq6yz]

The dynamic of the Skousen bros is pretty cool to watch. Their calm and collected approach to killing elk is admirable and effective.

[@bryanpeterson6717]

Being a flat lander, it just amazes me how effortless these teams are making climbing these mountains seem. I can't wait to get back out west!

[@clintabrams3432]

Same here. NC has nothing comparable

[@ronaldbrown7911]

Sure glad it's Thursday! Here is some dating advice for your daughters: If he doesn't appreciate your fruit jokes, you need to let that mango!

[@kennethgairrett398]

I appreciate the authenticity of these episodes....not every shot is perfect, not every spot is loaded with bulls, every teams style is different

[@brandoncolglazier1492]

That hunt with the Skousen brothers, I think we could smell em! Love the cliffhangers, no apology necessary!

[@Whatsbrewingwithb]

Elk are some of our favorite animals to see out in our area. One of the reasons I love watching your shows with my hubby.

[@krismcwilliams2835]

Hats off to Team Angry Spike for the rugged, jungle-like terrain they have to hunt in. Trying to hunt elk in that thick stuff has got to be difficult.

[@wildman4849]

My son(3) and I love watching these during our boys’ days, thanks for the family friendly content!

[@garretthenry7038]

The Skousens have hit gold with that spot! Talk about honey hole.... Corey, love the cliff hangers! Keeps me pumped for more episodes. Donny, you da man!

[@corygodfrey7881]

That bugling action was the most savage and primeval yet! The Skousens are always close to their target

[@yotaclimber]

My heart can't handle most of the footage after hearing the Skousens say "the big one is coming"..... I was glued to the dang screen.

[@adamschmidt5712]

Everyone involved in this project not only understands how make a great video, you are also fantastic story tellers. Thanks for taking us along during your elk season!

[@jwiser4265]

What an awesome episode. The Skousen’s kept their cool so well while dozens of elk were around them. So fun to watch.

[@lancebrink7827]

Just watching the Bull Elk encounters when they get close gives me the buck/bull fever every time. Love the episodes!

[@benjaminstoltzfus133]

My wife is thrilled how our house is full of bugles year round now that I can scratch the elk hunting itch in February! Love the videos.

[@stacymontgomery5030]

What an awesome experience Mark Skousen had. Lots of elk milling around and then showing the herd running down the mountain. Looks like we missed a Donny joke - ha ha.

[@andrewkeim3814]

The time in between the time he stopped that bull, to the time he let an arrow fly tells me he was pushing/pulling and aiming until it went off! Awesome job not rushing it! Love the footage through the whole episode and love the content! Back up plans to back up plans are a must in elk country! Thanks for the opportunity!

[@tylerberan4265]

That interaction with the elk is awesome! It’s one of my favorite parts of hunting elk!!

[@dakotadavis1584]

I admire team angry spike, hunting in thick timber and not being able to get eyes on anything til they are right on top of you is challenging in its on unique way as we all know. Rooting for them in the start of every episode

[@JoeDemler-om9cu]

I really like this format. It helps to have actual video with discussion afterwards. Brings it all together. Thanks for doing this kind of stuff. Love it.

[@darrenshank9716]

I love the cliffhangers. Keeps the anticipation high.

[@kraigcober5849]

There is nothing more exciting than being in the middle of a group of screaming elk. September can’t come soon enough! I love the format of the videos this year. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@daviddenham6086]

Definitely a cliff hanger on this episode!!! It would be awesome just to witness that many elk at one time and to get a shot! Lots of eyes and ears!

[@paulbennett8855]

What incredible action for Team Skousen on their morning hunt!!! ......And what an incredible shot that bull presented to Mark!! Hope you find him in the next episode Mark!!

[@blainerada4957]

I’m really enjoying the two videos a week with the morning and evening hunts broke up. Great format.

[@bryanrathburn2539]

With watching all you and your Tatics show me a lot of things I did right this past year and what I did so wrong. Thank you sponsors and all involved with the videos. They are good entertainment and teach me new stuff all the time. When I was a kid, my dad got fired from his job as a road worker for theft. I refused to believe he could do such a thing, but when I got home, the signs were all there.

[@MarkKrahe-dh2hn]

Loved Mark and Jeff's encounter. I could feel the tension, being that close to that many elk for that long! Felt like I was right behind Mark.

[@michaelmohr7489]

So far this is the best season of destination elk.

[@carlhancock2549]

Perfect tactics by the Skousen's ! Don't know that I could ever be patient enough in that same situation. Beautiful hunt

[@danlarson60]

Its been so much fun to hear all the bull action. The teams are showing a lot of patience that hopefully pays off. Thanks to all!

[@wyatthill92]

Great video! The cliff hangers are great! They make the viewer feel a tiny portion of the eagerness a hunter feels in that scenario.

[@anniekuta9161]

What a rollercoaster of emotions for the Skousen’s, both bulls they’ve arrowed have been a tough track job. Thanks for sharing it all with us and not just cutting to kill shots and grip n’ grins!

[@mattlacaprucia1201]

What an experience being in the middle of the herd. Great example of the highs and lows of bow hunting.

[@BlaineCasperson]

Love the tip to have a backup plan. Super important to not waste the limited time we have. A lot of times when exploring these new areas we find the hidey holes! Thanks for the great footage. Thanks

[@Monku123]

I wish I grew up elk hunting but having this series really helps.

[@RayJeffersonJr]

Hating the cliff hangers this year but is scratching that itch. By far my favorite content creators right now. Thank you for all of it

[@ryansones1626]

Great footy boys!!! Makes me miss when the trees turn golden yellow! Thanks for the stoke!

[@dohiii]

This season's platform is great, one show is only a morning or eve hunt can't tell. There's So much action from one of the teams it feels like a few days worth of hunting.

[@allthingswhitetail]

I love how this series is so real. We see success, errors, and failures. Watching Mark take that shot....I felt for him. I haven't had the chance to shoot an elk yet, but have made similar shots with whitetails. Hoping he finds the wounded bull.

[@gagepatton1524]

Can’t beat that footage of the Skousen’s! Awesome bugling action and looking forward to the recovery!

[@jonlacy3620]

Never bowhunted elk before, but this episode has got me fired up to give it a shot. Hearing those bugles sent shivers down my spine.

[@chrise5105]

sticking with it, patience and being in that close to a group of elk to get a shot is pretty amazing.

[@terryhershey3940]

Great videography of the action Team Skousen had right in their laps. Shot sequence was incredible. Patience definitely was a key factor in getting an unbelievably close broadside poke at a great bull. Hope they recover the bull in next episode.

[@joseymcdowell9060]

Amazing elk footage! Being in the middle of a herd like that is incredible. I could watch it all day

[@ClarkConnellee]

Camera dudes are tough hombres and deserve a ton pf credit. You guys are awesome.

[@darinhubbard1636]

Wow! That was pretty cool seeing all of that activity on the mountain. What a great opportunity to tag a bull.

[@BlueCollarBowmen]

Aggressive tactics for Marc and Jeff! Freaking awesome experience. What a cliff hanger! Can’t wait to watch the next episode and see how it plays out!

[@chrislamy6724]

Between these episodes and elktalk podcasts. I have no time for work lol love it

[@kellennaizer]

Love slipping in on elk watching them do their thing! Spend enough time in their bubble like that and good things happen.

[@perryknetter8577]

It is a Blessing to see other's having the same problems I seam to find every season. It makes it feel like your in the hunt with you. Get well Soon Corey God's Blessings

[@wapiti2466]

I can’t imagine how hard my heart would be pounding in that situation. Incredible footage

[@scottrobertson7223]

Wow! What a piece of work! To get in on a herd, and get that much footage, and the shot! Great job! I really like the Skousen crew.

[@haroldsorenson9909]

Love the series. True hunting with not cutting out the less successful day events. Thanks for each and every episode and content. I'm a real fan

[@1thisguy279]

So much to learn from this series. Can't imagine being surrounded by bulls like the Skousens.

[@ronaldpalonis1207]

Another good episode. It’s refreshing to watch a show where the people are likable.

[@robgreer9726]

The brothers are having a season! Smart and aggressive hunters and they have earned their chances. Enjoying the struggles and challenges y’all are up against. Typical elk hunting. Good episode

[@dougschwin390]

Great content! I'm loving the new format. Thanks for taking the time to put in subtitles when folks are talking quiet and for showing dates and times for reference. It makes everything much more easy to follow, and I love to see how the elk react during different times of the month. Keep it up!

[@dannoputtano8182]

How suspenseful was that! Being in the thick of things so long, I was just waiting to hear that dreaded phrase “the thermals changed”. Great job.

[@jandiceester-xk9dp]

Really enjoyed the action and close encounters in this episode. Really enjoy seeing how different each team approaches the hunt.

[@dannyvlanich7923]

Unreal experience the Skousens had! Great patience to allow a bull walk into their shooting lane! I definitely do not have that kind of patience! Can’t wait to see the next episode

[@budmcfarren9434]

I love how the brothers let the scene play itself and just get I to position for the bull to come to them almost

[@forrestcross7235]

Loving this season so far. The rollercoaster of action of dull drums.

[@darrenbroderick2581]

It’s cool to see the knowledge of areas and elk develop in the 5 days of hunting with each group.

[@joelague6559]

Nothing to do with the current episode, but listening to the introduction with the video, and the music has created such a sense of anticipation with me. I really enjoy that!

[@claytonb7915]

Hopefully Tyler’s horse is well after the emergency vet trip! Keep up the hard work chasin’ them bugles.

[@billychurch2395]

My heart was pounding for you the whole time. That’s got to be such a sinking feeling. Great job working at then and great job teaching me.

[@brentwise5939]

Best success story from this past season for me was moving to a plan D halfway across the unit we were in. We were not successful in terms of a harvest, but we walked into plan D and had 4 more encounters in 2 days that nearly sealed the deal. This was the best strategy i learned from the elk101 course and recommend every new elk hunter to the course who is serious about elk hunting.

[@garretdey1726]

The brothers had amazing morning. I’ve had a few that it reminded me of while watching. On a side note watching this a day late cuz yesterday was Valentine’s Day and the lady may be slightly annoyed with all the bugle action that I love.

[@joshseibel259]

I've enjoyed watching the skousens so much over these past few years. Really learned alot from their very adaptive and hybrid style.

[@susaningham505]

Love how the tactics used on elk can transfer to other animals- especially turkey. Thanks for the great content!

[@louiscapasso4452]

Talk about cliff hangers, you guys just killed it this episode.

[@CaseyMcCue]

I think V5 is the best season yet, love the format. Skousens are dialed in this season!

[@davidhamer8281]

Great action packed video. The Skousen brothers are such great hunters as well as all of you guys. They are just so patient. Love it. Thanks for putting these videos all together for all of us.

[@hunterbydesign]

Excellent show as usual. I appreciate the good clean show you guys have been putting together for years now. I’ve turned many other flatlanders who enjoy elk hunting as much as I do onto you guys, keep up the good work!

[@timnaber5509]

Sure looks like Mark and Jeff had a great morning. I love it when you can get into the heard like they did. I'm going to say the find Marks bull too. Great tip again Corey. 👍

[@dustindiamond1810]

Definitely thanks to the sponsors, and to the camera men that make this possible!! Great job!

[@ChasingHeadgear]

Amazing patience from Team Skousen with all those elk around. Wonderful footage! Another cliffhanger hoping they can catch up to that bull!

[@toddthompson9531]

Love the sound of those bugles in Oregon. They just sound awesome!

[@shawnnardella4647]

What an experience watching all those elk! Skousens are a fun team to watch probably because they are having the most luck and I am hoping they recover that elk! Thanks for the episode again! 🍻

[@frankslittlefarm5177]

Oh that feeling of my shot didn't go where I was aiming. What a cliff hanger. Can't wait for the next one.

[@brianashcraft6188]

Gosh! My heart is racing just watching these videos. My wife tells me to stop breathing so hard ha ha! Can’t wait till next season.

[@rogereverhart9599]

Mark was super patient. That was fun to watch!

[@larrydriver4416]

Love the excitement for this episode! Lots of bugling and some really close action. No Donnie dad jokes, but hopefully we will get an extra next time. Looking at a new area for the upcoming season, so lots of pre-season e-scouting so far and good idea for a back-up plan for each of the number of days of the hunt. Good strategy for success.

[@dustinhubbard5529]

That feeling of not making the perfect shot is unforgettable.

[@brockdallen]

Man patience payed off for Mark! That was awesome

[@patrickpeltier2094]

Thanks for all the sponsors! Another great episode such a cool experience for the Skousen Team.

[@kurtmosley8491]

Great episode! I hate when I can’t watch these on the night they come out but not really in the plans for Valentines Day! Great blend of work AND patience for the Skousen’s. I hope the trail pays off!

[@andytillack6998]

Another great episode. I love the cliffhangers as they keep the anticipation for Thursday's episode. As a newby to archery, I learn so much from all the teams. Thanks for doing these!

[@aaronpollum1719]

That would have been a heck of the experience that the Skousen brothers had. Leaving us in suspense once again! Keep them coming!

[@nicktoyn]

Awesome episode. There's nothing like standing there with a whole herd walking by and they have no idea you're there! Heartbreaking on the shot...can't wait to see how it ends.

[@jonathanvantassel1900]

The Skousen brothers ability to stay calm and collected with that many elk all around them says a lot about the caliber of hunters they are. I just know if I was in that same situation I would screw it up somehow.🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesd5014]

The Skousens SO impressed me! Mad skills! Tough to see the shot not go where he wanted.

[@michaelmullis9830]

What an action packed morning for team Skousen! Hopefully they can turn up that bull! We’ve all been there where our arrow doesn’t hit where we had hoped. Keep it up! Great episode and good luck!

[@wardcrawford1305]

Always appreciate the outros, even the solo ones and the strategies for success. Thank you.

[@mattharkness6697]

Man I hope you feel better Corey. Definitely missed having Donny at the end of the show as well. Good job Mark. I got faith that you’ll find him. Great job by all. By the way I enjoy the cliffhangers. Just adds to the suspense!

[@srpaarchery9388]

The Skousens footage was great. They showed grest patience waiting for the shot op.

[@JustinHolacka]

Being up here in Alaska, I don't get to do a ton of Elk hunting, but I have found myself using all your strategies while planning all my other hunts, especially moose. Please keep them coming, I cant thank yall enough for what yall are doing for all of us!
