Corey's Roosevelt Elk Dream Comes True! Destination Elk - Episode 5

[@bornhunter2885]

Great videos guys, we are all loving it when Donnie told you "YOU MISSED". It's all good brotha we all miss and that's why it's called hunting.

[@harleycole07]

Corey's elk encounter was the COOLEST EVER!! Two cows sauntering by just looking at you guys as you were playing like statues. The scenery was spectacular. It really looked like a movie scene. The only thing that would have made this completely over the top would have been if that twig was about an inch shorter. Great job Corey and glad all you guys got to experience it in real life! That was truly awesome!

[@ericbishop8757]

Great series! Last episode was a real eye opener!!! Thanks for sharing that experience... I know it has me (& my hunting partners) reevaluating our First Aid situation.

[@chadfrank5972]

I can’t get over that terrain. It’s like nighttime in the rain forest. So amazing that the elk just materialize right in front of you.

[@TLDorius]

Good to see that Corey is human like the rest of us! I just got my 1st aid supplies today and am hoping that they never need to leave my pack. Thanks, guys!

[@mikecampbell9586]

Thank you Corey and Donnie for sharing your hunts with us on KZbin. I’m sure I’m not the only who lives through the hunt with you since I’m not physically able to. I last hunted elk in Montana 8 years ago and was blessed with a nice 5x5. Around that time I contracted several tickborne illnesses while in my home state of Pennsylvania which wrecked me physically. I never imagined at age 39 I’d be unable to hunt elk, but every time you upload another video I get to hunt right with you as if I’m the camera man. I appreciate you being real with us and showing us the good and the bad. It shows your integrity and honesty. I share your frustration with losing an opportunity on a good animal from an arrow deflection. I’ve had 2 instances, one I harvested the animal, the other I did not. Keep up the good work guys!

[@drake1988]

I'm glad you're right there with us Mike!

[@mountainmama7823]

Way to find the positive in the circumstance. It is a great example for many and I thank you for that.

[@HaileAdam]

Love seeing you guys hunt my backyard. Oregon coast is a jungle. Would love getting a pair of Crispi boots to keep my feet nice and dry.

[@adamreathaford9508]

Watching those elk materialize was like watching Bob Ross paint on a canvas. What a cool experience. Congrats

[@michaelballmer7549]

too bad his arrow hit that downed little happy tree's limb ;-)

[@josiahengle8915]

Sorry Cory! That’s a terrible feeling. My gut feeling is you will have plenty of success in the weeks to come!

[@tinezone25]

You guys did an amazing job taking care of Dave in that situation. I would have been freaking out.

[@ryansmith3231]

I learned first hand while in the Army how important it is to take care of your feet. Clean and dry socks plus mull skin go a long way. After being out for a few years I still make sure I take care of my feet while hunting in the woods. Can’t hunt or fill that freezer if your feet are all jacked up. Thanks again for another awesome video.

[@kevinmartin2096]

Ryan Smith Damn right I learned that as well about keeping a fresh pair socks at all times unless he love to have jungle rot

[@bottompin796]

Such heartbreak! My favorite part of the day is when these are uploaded! 👍👍

[@bradynagel8375]

Wish I could chuckle like Cory, love the videos guys.

[@pac8541]

The series has been incredibly good so far. For those after nothing but kill shots, this sucks. But... its super valuable to see the day to day; the challenges, struggles, and failures; the problems and fuck ups and unpredictable context that is an elk hunt. This is real hunting. Nothing polished, nothing bought, and nothing taken for granted. Thank you.

[@huntersmain9227]

Awesome to see you guys hunting the same thing me and my group have hunted the last 20 years and delt with the same struggles. Know you guys are going to get it done! Thanks for all the great knowledge!

[@dwanehudson6904]

Cory it’s nice to see your human like me! I missed one in Idaho this season. It’s still hurts just as bad today as it did on Sept 2 when i missed. That is great footage and neat country you were hunting in.

[@leonardray3185]

Missed one in co.

[@dbahr123]

Passed on a mature 6 at 15 yards in CO due to a small branch across the vitals. Can’t stop thinking what might have been my first archery bull!

[@Stihlheadd]

Dude..... you guys ROCK! I love what you guys are doing I'm signing you for Elk 101. I'm glad you are hunting Oregon because we have no Rosie's here in Washington🙄

[@joshUAadavis]

They really do rock because it is seriously not as easy as they just made it look, especially early season! It's every bit as tough to come across roosies here in OR unless you're willing to shell out $350 to WeyCo!!

It could be worse, you could try hunting elk in Texas

[@Dyna2023]

It would be cool if each hunter at beginning of his hunt would briefly talk about their hunting rig (bow, arrow, broadhead, sight -single or multi pin).....not from an endorsement standpoint but just in a few seconds hear their pro/cons of their set up

[@reaganmayo436]

I am a timber faller on the West Coast of British Columbia . I know and appreciate the old growth forests like you're seeing! Beautiful place to hunt ! Goodluck ! And you guys rock, love what you're doing

[@nickaltman6056]

I just wore out my grandfathers old pair of Irish Setters that he wore while teaching me how to hunt as a child. We take for granted how much items that were passed down from one generation to the next mean to us until they're gone. I sure do miss him and that old pair of boots! Thank you for sharing your 2018 elk hunting season with us, Corey and Donnie!

[@jasonolson8392]

Nothing given...Everything Earned Life is best as we live and learn Sometimes the Elk is saved by a branch Hunting public is better than the Ranch Corey, I’ve been there and know how you felt I missed in Colorado you missed the dream Roosevelt Sometimes it’s a Homerun sometimes a bunt For we all know... it’s not about the kill But all about the Hunt

Time well spent To make your comment stand out. A chance to win some Crispis Is what this reply is about. Way to get creative Jason With your comment as you try To score some new boots That will surely keep soggy feet dry.

[@elijaholson12]

It would be cool if y’all revealed who wins each day! Like if you agree

I am pretty sure at the end of the first video they spoke about picking and announcing the winners at the conclusion of the series.

I think they are doing it right myself. In my situation, I am not able to watch the episodes as they come out, due to work. So I like the idea after the series myself

Do you have to comment every video?

[@kc_wildoutdoors9919]

Are Crispi boots really as good as everyone says?!

[@TheChuckler12]

Hunt Washington I started using Crispis’s this past year. Always wore scarpa’s. Got tired of blisters. Last year I had seven blisters from the Scarpa’s. This year I saved up and got my crispis’s. Did not have a single blister or hot spot. Hiked more and with more weight on my back than last year. I did also upgrade from Darn Tuff to Gore socks. I think that helped some too.

[@TheChuckler12]

This past year as in the Hunting season of 2018. So the boots I have are Wyoming’s. and only a couple months old. Love them.

[@justinmoore8404]

Bought my first pair this year, yes they were amazing in Montana

[@billyjoesmith927]

I love crispi boots!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Sadly I am seeing this 3.5 months after it was posted, but the cinematography is high quality and that landscape is breathtaking and prehistoric looking. I love it. I could only imagine what it would be like to see an elk in there materializing out of the fog like Jurassic Park. So cool. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to spending hours watching the rest of this story.

[@josidawn314]

It’s so cool how you can hear Cory’s heartbeat as we’re waiting for the bull! Kinda gives you an idea how exciting this whole adventure is.

[@bethanyzuver3330]

Oh my goodness when the cow elk walked right in front of Corey my heart stopped! There is nothing like being so close to these magnificent animals :)

[@brooksvandevelder447]

As a life long Roosevelt hunter, this hunt captured their mystic as well as any have watched. Thanks for sharing men!

And I was literally holding my breath with y'all while that cow walked by. That was awesome

[@collinstory9655]

growing up in ne oregon elkhunting with my family and friends is always the greatest part of my year. the struggles, sore feet, blisters missed opportunities and triumphs all make it worth every second. thank you for the nightly adventures we get to live and learn through you to get us one day closer for another opening day.

[@mikepeters2756]

I live and hunt here in the northwet. It's amazing how many things have to line up just right to be successful in this thick, steep, wet country. You can due everything right and one twig will prevent you from success. I'm loving this series, thank you guys for coming out wet! God bless

Man that was intense....I was over here trying to control my breathing and be extra still like I was there lol

[@dandoucette4379]

Awesome composure. The excitement of seeing the Elk and standing still to not blow your cover, is not easy most times. You know your odour control is working when you have the animals walk that close into you. Missing happens as much as we don't like it. Good sport!

Omg the suspense. Between life and squeezing in time to watch this series it's been a great week! I like that you are describing your actions alot for teaching purposes.

I feel your anguish of missing a great bull. My son whom recently got out of the military and went elk hunting for the first time missed a bull at 13 yards in heavy regeneration of pine.
