LASER BEAM ELK HUNTING - EP 20 - LAND OF THE FREE 2.0

[@acebaker1297]

I left you guys a comment on the 17th about a challenge you guys should do, that got started by Haze Outdoors about men's mental health called "show us your steak". I think you guys have an amazing channel and it's a great platform that reaches a wide variety of people. All you have to do is cook a steak a steak in the outdoors and say a few words about mental health which is hard for most people to talk about. You guys have cried on camera and showed a lot of young boys that it's ok, that real men can cry. As a woman, I appreciate that because I am raising 3 boys myself and they need to be taught things like that from other men. I hope this message reaches you guys. Happy Holidays.

[@heatherd.9390]

I'm rewatching this series for the second or third time. Your comment is so true! I'm a single mom and totally agree with everything you said. Great comment! Best wishes, Heather🇨🇦

[@acebaker1297]

@@heatherd.9390 Ty my kids mean everything to me. It's tough to see anyone struggling with mental health issues but it's especially hard to see your own family/kids go through it. Boys/men don't usually like to talk a lot in general lol, but especially not about their feelings good or bad. It's an unfortunate stigmatism society has placed on them, "Be tough, be a man, boys don't cry etc.), but I taught all of my kids male and female that it's always ok to talk about your feelings and that it is a healthy thing to do throughout their entire lives. It's kept me balanced at any rate and I have had a rough upbringing. So that is my two cents. Single moms are superheroes in my book, btw, just wanted to say that to you. Sometimes it's a thankless job, but your kids will love all the more, when they are grown, and realize just how many sacrifices you've made, to make them have everything they could ever need in life, to make sure they turn out happy and successful. Great job mama bear! Take care, Ace

Misses happen... bad hits happen.....lost animals happen...... Nature is much more cruel than most have any idea. Live or die no animal goes to waste in the woods...... We are part of nature...... As long as we do everything we feel we can to make the best shots we can we need to hold our heads high with that knowledge..... live and learn from every thing we do :) Another great vid guys! Thank you :)

[@shanecody1737]

Well said.

[@ffolino56]

Amen

[@kellysmith1516]

Exactly. People have no idea. I lived in the high dessert of Wyoming. Brutal winters but the poaching would make you ill. Everytime out snowmobiling we would come across headless bulls and bucks . Just absolute waste and disrespect in so many ways. A wounded animal is also mild in comparison to big game slaughtered on highways in big migration zones where it hasnt been addressed. Utah is horrible for this and Wyoming used to be bad but Wyoming stepped up and put in high fences and crossing areas to keep them from getting killed

[@jonusjensen5238]

Don’t know how some one can’t like this song... it’s very indicative of you guys, your style and the rest of us attempt to chase Elk around in their world.

[@jimforeman7733]

I appreciate the way BRO goes about their business. Your first class hunters, sportsman and all around great people. Your success through social media will eventually draw in the “arm chair hunters” who will never admit their misses and/or non lethal hits. Keep the faith and stay above the negativity.

[@rebekahjosberger6669]

You BRO's are Awesome! You can tell that what you show on camera is what your going to get if we were to meet you on the street. Yet because of what you are publishing on youtube you are putting everything about you up for supportive and critical view points. I am glad for so much support of your program. I am sorry that Trevor got so many negative comments yesterday. He was living in the moment and took a shot that he felt he was capable of taking. I have seen you guys shoot eggs from ungodly distances! Your skill levels are elite. And I am glad you mentioned that his angle was not the same as the camera's just as B-mac was to the left of the camera today and his angle on the bull was much different than the camera that made his shot more difficult than what was portrayed. Thanks for what you guys do, and thanks for being real!

[@apostolicoutdoors]

Personally I am thankful for the reality of your content. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It's all the real deal. Please don't feel like you have to suppress the bad. It's part of hunting. It's why I love your content. I have learned so much from y'all. Thank you!!!

[@aaronhall765]

God bless y'all! Thanks for supporting our Service men and women! Prayers for my fellow Sergeant Major, and his family. The miss? I give y'all props for stating rather have clean miss! So many times other shows make bad shots and say I "smoked him". Teaching bad habits. Y'all are very educational. Thanks for all you do. Airborne All The Way!

[@tysonpierce2690]

Y’all did great. Yesterday and today. Trevor still needs to hunt for sure. Bull didn’t die. You worked hard to find him. Love the series and all you all are doing.

[@kyleadler6141]

It’s super cool having multiple cameras rolling in the same group. So many different perspectives of the same situations!

[@terrystone6214]

you guys are respectable hunters , no explanation needed

[@fbiz01]

I had a shot in AZ this year that had the same result as B-Mack. I watched this with my wife tonight and her response was holy cow that was just like the shot at your bull. I will re-live that moment the rest of my days. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@jeremylafaver6771]

Great episode - again. I was one of those critical voices yesterday, but appreciate how you guys talked about it today. Admitting a mistake happened, learning from it, and making the best of the next shot. That’s the best we all can do. I learned something from that episode, like I learn something from almost every episode. Keep up the good work!

[@reedalexander1747]

Man! Super choked with the tree - def agree with B-Mac’s approach to the shot just wish it woulda worked out for you guys! Side note - the shout outs are such a cool personal touch that really makes this whole series that much more relatable! Thanks for being you.

[@andyoien7970]

Good job guys! Trevor did the right thing. Thanks for the honest portrayal of hunting, your videos are refreshing.

[@mikegross7857]

Trevor made a fantastic shot...that’s hunting and in a split of the second the bull moved. No one would have predicted that in a 100 shots. You guys are amazing. I have been archery hunting for 5 years and have yet to harvest a big game animal. It has been those inches. Almost filled both tags opening day this year, but game of inches. Keep up the good work. You guys have inspired me to keep going.

[@pab40sc]

As you said on making it real. Archery is the biggest challenge. Thanks for sharing ALL the ups and downs. Keep the great work up and stay positive is what I heard at the office.

[@richh1968]

Great Super Sneak Logan and BMack! It was exciting to watch LoMack in action! I hope that both Trevor and BMack are still able to get their elk. Thank all of you BRO guys for showing us like it is! It's fun to watch, fun to learn, and always fun to look forward to what will happen next!!!! I love it!!!

[@kanetuckdude5837]

Just wanted to let you guys know I Love the intro music! Always remember, "Mind over matter, Silence the doubters." You guys were made for this!

[@markmatthews772]

Great that you gave a shout out Omar Smith. He is an outstanding member of the Hammer and Chisel training group that trains to be better hunters and compete in Train to Hunt events. Thanks for ALL of your content.

[@paxtonjardine6600]

Awesome video! Can’t believe Trevor is getting heat for his shot, frontal shots are completely ethical and you can never know whether or not a bull is going to whirl on you like that. Keep on keepin on! Love you guys

[@efox123]

I appreciate your honest portrayal of hunting. The things learned can be shared by everyone. Thanks for bringing us your content.

[@lymanclark5537]

I liked the start at 30 sec with the guy peeing behind the tree, LOL....Glad you guys addressed the negative comments. I try hard to live in a positive attitude and great you guys are encouraging the same!

[@kylepelky]

You guys are a great inspiration. Havnt missed a episode up. You guys keep it really. You men have balls for that in the cruel internet world lol. You guys helped me keep positive threw my whitetail season and are true idols. Dont let the haters knock ya down!

[@rodneykimberlyhenry5056]

Absolutely love the brotherhood y'all share. I think its awesome how you give God the glory for what you get to do.

[@tommcdowell5203]

Game of inches. Love the positivity and support in your group. So much negativity out there. Thanks to the family who lost a member this last summer. People that serve are heroes and have my respect, if you need help reach out to those around you.

[@andrey20102]

Love that you guys show the prayers!

[@tgels16]

FIRE ZE LASER! Awesome encounters!B Mac took a good shot & had great awareness with his placement due to bull quartering away. Just got unlucky! Can’t wait for more!!

[@colefisher7045]

My dad always told me on bad days at the job when I was younger....when the going gets tough, the tough get going! I was thinking about how tough you guys are to take those kind of hits and get back on and face everyone on the next uncut. Just keep going, we need ya! I was also thinking about your shirts where the man with the bow is reaching back to help the man with the rack on his pack, I love how you guys not only help each other when there’s an elk to pack out, but also when there isn’t one to pack out. Keep up the good work!

[@keithjewell2206]

You’re never gonna please everyone. We’ve all lost animals in hunting if you’ve been hunting long enough. Love what y’all put out keep it up!

[@Captjohn7659]

Bark bustin B Mack. Lol you put a great stalk on that elk, youll get him next time. Captjohn.

[@travissmith5816]

"Formed in the fire, I was made for this! No Regrets!"

[@waynewinchell3064]

As far as Trevor's shot, at first I questioned the angle. However, my view was that of the camera man and with the benefit of hindsight. The reality is that Trevor had a better angle and was in the heat of the moment. An arrow can't be taken back after it is fired. It appeared that every effort was made to recover the bull. Last week I made my first poor shot in 15 years and shoulder hit a buck. While searching for him I passed chip shots on two monsters. In the end I believe my buck lived. Had the shot at the two monsters come the next day after I was confident my buck lived, I would have shot one of them. So Trever, keep on keepin' on and let the critiques roll off your shoulders. Many others would have done the same as you. Great show guys! So close on the arrow deflected shot.

[@mjk8564]

So much fun to watch and agree with how you handle the elk wounded situation. You are exposing your neck (risk) for all the viewers and are bound to have flack. I was super impressed by how hard you tried to find Trevors elk.

[@thwapoutdoorproductions5396]

Much respect for your guys. I know you will catch hell from people about wounding the elk and not finding it. But it’s the reality of hunting and everyone will eventually experience it no matter how good of a shot you are. I love how you guys still show it and talk about it. You guys aren’t afraid to show the reality of archery hunting and that’s what I love about it. Yes I love that you guys kill elk and we get to see it but better yet you show the ups and the downs. The lows come often in hunting and some people done even know how low one can get after putting in so much work and it doesn’t come together. Keep it up guys you inspire us so much!

[@gregpeterson6790]

Awesome videos guys. I agree with all the positive comments regarding Treavors frontal shot. It was great to see Brian let an arrow fly at a bull. Great shot Brian! My wife has started watching your channel with me. She enjoys seeing me smile while watching the episodes. She knows all your names and laughs along with with me at the banter you all have. She’ll ask me who the shooter are at the beginning of each episode. Keep up the great work guys!

[@phillipbaggett4156]

and once again guys I would like to thank yall for putting on a good clean program that I can watch with my grandkids

[@NPLife]

I was made for this! Thanks for the motivation to share our time in the outdoors together!

[@leecanary5561]

I've always liked the way you tell the whole story. Good, bad. Way to go.

[@deborahhindi1888]

Great opportunity and well placed shot. Glad to see the highs and the lows. Always a joy to watch!

[@Dylan7444]

So close B Mac, we've all been there! The experience and the friends you're with is what it's all about. Keep up the good work and keeping us inspired to keep going

[@akloepping2226]

Keep up the good work guys. Really enjoying the series and it really shows the game of inches that is bowhunting.

[@royhoglund1322]

Oh so close! Good job getting close Brian! Good calling guys!

[@brianrobson3183]

You guy are the definition of inspiration. If I were you I wouldn't worry about the haters. We can see that it bothered you guys pretty bad. Everyone has made mistakes at some point in their hunting. Let's move on to the positive and punch some tags

[@donellefson5882]

Great hunt for you guys today thumbs up you guys good luck.

[@tonyharris6162]

Bmac tuff break man . You'll be seeing that over and over in your head for awhile ! And a clean miss is so much easier to live with than a wounded bull . Another awesome video guys

[@maguelsommer8404]

Love your guys positivity and outlook! Really enjoying the series and all that you help me and my hunting buddies learn!

[@gregtunnell8570]

love the series. living the dream through you guys.

[@lukelangton3047]

I am glad no one follows me around to film my mistakes. Thanks for the series.

[@Dano3280]

Crazy seeing you all walking through the woods and bulls bugling everywhere, you guys do great job playing the wind I've learned lotsfrom you guys and look forward each evening.

[@MattRShort]

Great work boys!!! Cyber shots fired... but well handled. I appreciate your hearts as a fellow conservationist. Keep being real, genuine and educational!

[@dustindouglas5583]

Amazing hunt guys, really enjoy your hunts and commentary. Heads up and game of inches. Can’t wait for the next one

[@slayer6936]

Shout out to the sgtmaj! See you in Valhalla. I am a former marine and a army scout/ combat adviser..i understand the strugles, bless you guys for foingvthat and my heart goes out to the family. Semper fi..

[@twotone419]

I love land of the free is my favorite series out of all of them out there. You guys are so awesome thank you for sharing.

[@SeasonsChange24]

Watching BMack waiting for the bull to come in gives me the same feeling as when that uncoordinated kid on your baseball team steps up to the plate. Two outs already. Put your gloves on boys. Haha 🤣 Absolutely love the show. #IsupportTrevor

[@lanpharluke]

Even laser beams have trouble going through trees! Man i couldn't believe it when that bull stepped forward into that lane and just stopped...they never do that!? Great show guys:)

[@justinbrasington8182]

You guys are a fantastic representation of a True hunter. Good shot or bad shot, you are truthful and positive. Keep up the great work and thank you!!!!

[@chadwickprice3761]

Man, that is tough.... being close to the same age and retired Army, I can understand, the struggles of leaving a brotherhood after so many years and not knowing what your purpose is. Us, Veterans need to be able to share, be vulnerable, stay in touch with other military/veterans to include let the general public in on who you are and what you have done and are going through. The people who haven’t served for the most part don’t understand and won’t until we can give them insight and open up to them. My heart and prayers go out to him and his family. Rest In Peace Sergeant Major!🇺🇸

[@cawruby1872]

Highlight of my day when your videos go up.

[@Grayghost1969]

So close today B-Mack. Keep at it!

[@terryzink9624]

Awesome response to Trevor’s frontal shoot, very positive, you are all good men.

[@waketyme]

Appreciate you guys putting yourselves out there. We've all taken shots we may or may not regret, you guys are sharing it and I applaud that. Keep on keeping on.

[@seeker1499]

For two weeks I’ve been singing the song at 45000 feet. When I’m not flying I’ve been motivated to hunt more days because of it. Well chosen and stay positive boys!!

[@axelsmth1]

Gentleman love these shows and look forward to them each night. There is a difference on being aggressive on the stalks and making stuff happen on getting the bulls in range and forcing shots that need a few more seconds to develop. Please next season enjoy the hunts live up the experiences but please be patient with your shot choices

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Damn! BMack that was sooo close!! I know Trev got some hate from yesterday's episode and I guess it kinda comes with the territory when showing the good, bad, ugly on a format that allows folks to easily comment. People are hyper sensitive to the wounding of animals especially when they feel things maybe could have been done better. But, as you mentioned the discussion is good and I think we all learn a little bit from the situation. Just hope you all don't take some of it too personally as I want you to continue to show everything good of bad...that's what makes your videos so good.

[@Bunny_vr15]

Love you guys. Worst thing as a hunter is having to explain yourself, I feel like we all do it too much to get support for a way of life that is judged by so many. My husband and I watch you guys every night, our boys also love to watch.

[@michaelrachellewis5232]

Great Uncut. yall continue to bring us the real life. keep up the good work.

[@trentbratten2389]

BROs! Thanks for calling out the comments on Trevor's shot. We've all been there and it's not just archery. I had an antelope broadside at 150 yards took all the time in the world, right at the end of my trigger squeeze a doe and the buck leapt forward. Had to track the poor guy a mile. It felt terrible but they are animals and you can only predict so much. Thanks for putting reality on camera even when it's ugly.

[@irishbulldog3389]

Wow bmac that was so so freakin close!!! You guys worked an worked that bull and he was very wary but wanted to come back to that area where he’s been and you guys got a good chance on him! So close great job guys! You guys I know you will all get them tags filled!!! Bro crew and hush rocks!!! Keep up the great work Trent/kody/treavor/Steve! And the hushin guys Casey/bmac/Eric you guys rock it! You guys are super stars in my eyes! Doing what you guys love and living the life!!! What more could a feller ask for! Thank you bro crew!!!

[@Tjmcna]

Bro playbook chapter 2:Sleep in and wait for bulls to enter camp. If that fails, eat copious amounts of snacks and wait for them to come in again! Lol Great shot from B-Mac...couldn’t have missed the tree by much less

[@wyomingz28]

Keep up the hard work. Much respect for Trevor. Bowhunting is just like everything else in life, you never know what you are going to be delt.

[@frankmartinez3936]

I think it's so cool that you guys are so positive!

[@dublelung1]

The quickest elk archery kill I've seen on KZbin was a frontal shot by a young teenager and I don't think it's possible to kill any quicker than what that elk died. Bowhunting is a game of inches, and one person's ethical shot may not be so for the next bowhunter. Each hunter has to make his/her own mind up about what shot they're willing to take and they have to live with the results of that shot regardless of whether it's good or bad. I'm really enjoying this whole series and wishing you all continued luck and success.

[@dereckbyrddb]

Suspense was killing me !!! Jeez can’t wait to watch tomorrow

[@digicyc]

Trevor is a godly hunter and has high spirits. This is true hunting and things happen. I hope comments don't turn this into JUST the wins. The real experience is what keeps me drawn here. Great videos guys and Montana is absolutely beautiful, would love to hunt there some day.

[@209brandonb]

I love that you guys show the mess ups and not just the clean kills so we see that you guys are human and not archery gods that never fuck up like some people try to portray...

[@ballersixty9]

another awesome ep b mac great shot 1/2 an inch and that would be a dead bull was cool seeing the lumenok flying through the air

[@christinawengerd4239]

that was exciting! way to hug the tree Brian! better that way then hit the shoulder and wound it. tough break!

[@isaiahgomes4215]

Been looking forward to this all day.

[@kurtlandwehr1514]

Keep up the solid work fellas. The commitment and motivation you guys put this LOTF project together is admirable. Regarding Trevor's shot on that bull...let the comments roll off and good on you guys for showing what can happen. He's likely arrowed more bulls than some of the folks replying have even seen in the wild. Passing judgement on making the split second decision during crunch time is easy to do behind a keyboard:)

[@user-vm9bi3mx9q]

Hard season for you guys. Lot of learning opportunities. Keeping your head up and pushing forward taking lessons learned with you is all one can do to continue to progress. Only other choice is to give up, and for most of us that really isn't an option any way. Good luck and keep em coming.

[@toddhisey4126]

What a great setup. As a solo hunter I’m envious of your group.

[@coryskasik1949]

Keep it up guys. Nothing you can do but keep moving forward.

[@knathanp8447]

I really appreciate the shows. Bummer that bark had bite, but cool to get the encounter!

[@GreatPlainsKayakAngler]

I had a successful frontal shot over last weekend, it was one of those 1 out of 10 time it just felt right. 35 yard recovery, so devastating! I thought about you guys shortly after the hunt. Thanks for sharing your highs & lows blessings!

[@terryhurlburt9113]

Today's hunt was just as exciting as the previous "close call!" I enjoy the feeling that I am there on the hunt with you. Great job guys. I am a rifle hunter but because of you guys, I just bought a bow. It will be a while before I feel good enough to bring it into the woods on a serious hunt though. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@kyleshepherd9130]

Hey, no worries here. Great effort on today's hunt. It's a game of inches!!

[@JohnWeik]

Good job with the live feed guys and holding back a bit as Im sure you wanted to say more. Keep at it and as I have said before I appreciate you keeping it real and not Hollywood!!!! It happens and its all ok as everything goes back to where it came from eventually no matter what. We know you are ethical, God does as well. Amen B Mack, wow, tough one man! You are such a positive role model for positive thinking and letting it role off your shoulder. Great attempt bud!

[@josephmecham509]

Because of you guys me and some of my coworkers and friends are starting a bow club and plan on going to other states to hunt we love Oregon but we want to experience new states 🤘 so thank you guys very much because we where all made for this 🇺🇸🤘

[@scottdwyer5268]

Loved the lighted nock flying through the air, my favorite time to get an elk is the lunch time break on the hill.

[@tomeastwood9400]

I think Kody summed it up pretty well that if we learned something from Trevor's experience, good or bad, then it is worth putting out there. Almost always can't go wrong with staying positive! #positivity

[@sladeleason4338]

Sweet hunt waking up to a chuckling alarm clock ya can't beat that

[@JimTheHunt]

That was soooo close. Pretty fun to watch.

[@outdoormechanic8215]

Love the videos can't wait for the next. Your all good hunters dont let the negative comments get you down. Hunt YOUR hunt WE ALL do things differently. Keep up the great work

[@xfactor5259]

Trevor, my friend I don't know u but , in all of your guyses shows you have to be one of the most ethical shooters I have seen. Watching the UN cut right now. I hope no one else says anything about your shot. We are archers, the most intense up in our face way to hunt. Keep your head up brother. Cody and others, even the Bros not in Montana for this video keep it up, shoulder surgery kept me out this year can't wait to go fill my tag next September. Love u Bros. ( Mike)

[@bryanb.7468]

Like you said you could have not even shown that portion of the hunt and nobody would have been the wiser. I appreciate that you guys show everything because I personally learn from you guys and each triumph and mistake. So keep doing what your doing and pay no mind to the shots over the bow because minus the ones who have to put their "master" knowledge out there you guys are the most real, knowledgeable, caring and "masters" out there. Thanks again!

[@toxophilite1953]

Oooooh! Close but no cigar! Dang! That’s real bowhunting and that’s why we do it. This whole video kept me on the edge! Thank you 🙏

[@andybenrud]

Great shows! Keeping it real, I appreciate that.

[@brockjensen4100]

ahhhh BMac.. so bummed. That was so fun to watch, game of inches. Listening to the post game I foresee a lot of comments about his shot like yesterday. I practice every day, I touch arrows at 40 yards regularly, but just this season I missed a deer low under the belly at 20 yards, and I've liver shot a doe at 15 yards (yes i got her in the freezer, but still a bad shot). Sometimes the arrow just does not hit the point of aim when you are in the field with funny elevations, different feet placement... whatever. If you want a sure thing then do not bow hunt. And DIY Sportsman, so sorry to hear, I am a combat vet and I watch your videos all the time, you have inspired me to look into saddle hunting for next season.

[@nuck9153]

Great job guys. Well said. How easy it would have been for y’all to have just not shown Trevors shoot. Thanks for keeping it real!!!

[@jakef1977]

So so close! Bmac! Great footage again guys!
