ELK FEVER III

The legacy of Elk Fever all started in September 1986. Larry D. Jones, Dwight Schuh, and Larry’s son, Steven Jones, and cameraman Neil Rodgers hunted Oregon and Idaho for 40 days and captured elk and elk hunting footage. After the season’s countless miles in elk country, Larry labored over 100 hours to edit and produce Elk Fever.
His vision for Elk Fever was to share the adventure of hunting elk with a bow and arrow in God’s great mountains.
The deep friendship and hunting adventures Larry shared with Dwight Schuh over the last 4 decades has influenced Larry's elk hunting passion more than anyone. Dwights’s participation in Elk Fever and Elk Fever II video’s, his book “Bugling for Elk” and sharing his elk adventures in Bowhunter Magazine, and now Elk Fever III has created a burning desire in scores of hunters to hunt and call these majestic elk. Dwight died, February 5, 2019 after fighting multiple Myeloma for years, but his passion is still alive through his writings, Elk Fever, Elk Fever II and Elk Fever III.
Now almost 30 years later, we as elk hunters want to celebrate those who have began their journey and finished it, leaving us with a greater passion for the outdoors and all we have to cherish with elk hunting. Elk Fever III is a tribute to the Elk Fever legacy and all the more to elk hunters alike.
RMEF and Yeti are honored to present the final film, Elk Fever III by CANA, for all who cherish the adventure of elk hunting.

beautifully filmed. RIP Dwight, brings me back to watching the first videos as a little kid getting fired up to go out with my pops.

[@rmef]

This one definitely brings back special memories. We'd like to send you a commemorative Yeti lowball. Will you shoot us an email with your contact information to [e-mail]?

[@bulltroutoutdoors9440]

I watch these videos every year and they just get better and better. Legends never die. Thank you RMEF for everything you do.

[@gethushin]

Thank you guys for having this made. Ben and the Cana Crew did an awesome job. RIP Dwight 🙏🏼

[@rmef]

Ben truly did great work. Thanks for the kind words guys.

[@hoodhenderson9404]

What a fantastic story of friendship and conservation. My fathers greatest gift to me was the outdoors and I made Elk Hunting and calling my passion. My father and I would always sit and talk about elk and calling for elk and this video just brought back all those meaningful memories. Larry I'm sorry for your loss of a great friend and hunting partner. May we all take a little memory of Dwight with us this year and share with him our moments of adventure.

[@KoleMoulton-it9ip]

Larry and Dwight started me with my case of elk fever and Bowhunting elk as a boy. im 48 years young and still cant wait for opening day. thanks guys for the memories...and all the stuff i learned from your videos Rip Dwight Schuh an amazing bowhunter outdoorsman and mentor..

[@canaoutdoor]

Thank you RMEF for the opportunity to tell this story and of course to Larry, Dwight, Steve, and Emily! The whole production was a huge honor!

[@rwchidester]

Hands down one of the best things I’ve EVER seen here on KZbin. At 26:25 I must have got something in my eyes. Grew up reading Dwight’s stuff in Bowhunter magazine. He will be missed!

[@theoregonhistoryhunters2209]

Thankyou for sharing the legendary stories of 2 of my most influential oregon bowhunters! RIP dwight!

[@shaneburt1230]

It's ok Dwight, I cried a little bit to! RIP. Hunters never die, they just go deeper into the woods. Your guy's legacy lives on through all these great video's. Love this video!

[@matthewholden3823]

Shane great quote man hunters never die they just go deeper in the woods. Brilliant

[@davidloy6406]

I can remember the first time I ever watched elk fever, I was a teen age boy in the Midwest just getting into bowhunting. Dwight and Larry introduced me to an area of the country and an animal that I had no idea of existance, their down to earth approach and passion for archery was such an inspiration and still is today. Thank you Dwight and Larry for your dedication. RIP Dwight.

[@bluewhiskey310]

clap clap clap...clap. absolutely awesome

[@rmef]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Elktrail]

I don't know if I want to laugh or cry? I've experienced all the same feelings presented by these great films. These guys have been inspirational to my elk hunting career, same values handed down to me from my father and hunting buddies. Hopefully Dwight is slaying them in Heaven the way I hope all of us will be doing once gone. When you loose your hunting buddy it's hard to recover but being out in the beautiful outdoors can cure most of it, not that the good times won't be remembered!

[@rmef]

It's a mixed range of emotions, for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@tonyharris6162]

These are 2 of the first guys that really worked hard to make hunting videos so other hunters could share in their experiences. Some of the first pioneers of the hunting film industry of today . I've watched and enjoyed so many of those videos ! I just want to say thank you for putting together Elk Fever III . Brings back memories of my brothers , Dad , and myself renting these videos . We enjoyed them so much . Sometimes they might get watched 2 or 3 times before we took them back . Larry hunted with a local hunter and bow shop owner in Redding California ( Cliff Dewell ) . They made a hog hunting video together . Enjoyed it a bunch as well. RIP DS and thank you for your lifetime of contributions of time and effort for the sport of hunting .

[@gregeastman7167]

What a trip back. I was a bowhunter since the 60s and had taken several deer but had never felt prepared enough for ELK. The original ELK Fever video was silly in spots but the love of the hunt and comradarie was strong. Larry and Dwight helped many of us elevate our game and accept the challenge of bowhunting ELK.

[@bearhuntingmagazine]

Incredible work guys. When Dwight cried....what an amazing capture.

[@rmef]

Hits right in the feels...

[@KellyRicketts]

I can tell you after 50 years of Hunting, I too have had those moments, that emotion and the blessing of being able to see and feel what is still breathtaking scenery and the sheer magnitude of this beautiful earth, has brought me to tears of joy and awe!

[@PacificNorthwestBowhunting]

I was so happy to hear about this project! In 1993 I went to work for Larry at Wilderness Sound Productions. Filming, making hunting videos, designing calls, and hunting with Larry consumed my life, and those memories are truly priceless. He was my mentor and remains a close friend today. The first film, Elk Fever, was the stuff dreams were made of and I would argue that no other hunting video had more influence on a generation of elk hunters. Dwight's influence will continue in those who he inspired through his writings. And Larry is still out there with a recurve, living the dream we call bowhunting.

[@gregeastman7167]

Thank you for your part in bringing everything to us Tom. I grew up in N Eugene and always felt a kinship with Larry D, and was friends with Dave Doran who was in the Hunting High Mule Deer video and book. We dedicated bowhunters are a small group and I pray the passion gets passed along. ELK Fever III is a good start.

[@andymicka9065]

31 years ago my dad took me down to the Kopper Kitchen in Baker City to attend a calling seminar put on by Larry D Jones. I still love to call elk and I owe a lot to the hunters that helped pave the way. Thank you Larry for all you have done and rest in peace Dwight. May there be elk in heaven.

[@Our4outdoors]

Best thing I've seen in a long time, hard to imagine two more genuine guys. Amen Dwight, RIP.

[@mattsteed8015]

Absolutely wonderful. Heart touching film. I have so much respect for these Men.

[@KonradHafen]

So great! They preserved the excitement and style of the original Elk Fever videos! I love the goofiness and the story that is told!

[@chrisromano4822]

What a great video staring two legends of the elk hunting world. I grew up watching the two guys and trying the same techniques. Thank you for all you have taught me over the years. RIP Mr. Schuh

[@ADVANTURECO]

Incredible Film - Ben Potter is an amazingly talented Director. Thank you for bringing this amazing story to our screens all over the world. RIP Dwight.

[@rmef]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@canaoutdoor]

Thank you! Our pleasure to make the film!

[@russclarke99]

These guys turned hunting into conservation! Thanks!

[@MrCharlesshine]

Amazing job and emotionally beautiful! Thanks for the memories and RIP Dwight! Sounds like it was Gods turn to call you in! Amen

[@jarisneilson1165]

These guys are the pioneers of elk calling and filming hunts

[@indeepoutdoors2636]

R.I.P. Dwight..... like many young kids interested in bow hunting I watched Larry and Dwight on videos and bought my first Larry D. Jones elk call which I mostly used to scared away elk! Image my surprise on my first archery elk hunt in Eastern Oregon and they were camped right next to us! Thank you........

[@jacobwhite6850]

Incredible film, great job! Very inspiring to see men of that age still able to do what they’ve loved for so many years, I hope I am as fortunate as they were to pursue my passion of elk hunting right up until the Lord calls me home! RIP Dwight

[@rmef]

We all hope are as fortunate!

[@BrunkOutdoors]

Absolute legends! I can only hope I am healthy enough to continue hunting these beautiful animals when I am 77. Thank you so much for revamping this, such awesome guys anyone can relate to.

[@shaunawoodward5644]

Awesome!!!! ‘Heroes’ of the Elk Woods!!! Priceless footage! Thank You!🏹

[@rmef]

We are so glad you enjoyed it!

[@russcarone2495]

Pure gold. Thanks guys.

[@ryancrosson26]

Well it was bound to happen. I love bow hunting. I was randomly up tonight watching hunting videos and it dawned on me I had not seen Dwight or Larry (don’t remember which one) damn near get run over by that bull that they had just shoot when I ran across this one. Great show! Truly pioneers of elk hunting videos. I am glad I found this tonight.

[@nickholcroft]

Awesome video! Awesome men! I love that Larry hasn't aged at all since at least 1986. RIP, Dwight!

[@mervjb809]

I watched these guys on VHS tapes. I was so sad when I heard of Dwight's passing. He and Larry both definitely passed Elk fever on to me and countless others. Thank you!!

[@toddmotz6415]

So much more than just a hunting video.

[@jeffreycarlson747]

What a great film and tribute to Dwight. Makes me proud to be a member of RMEF. I hope to draw a tag and possibly harvest my first bull elk in Colorado in 2020. Just wish my late father was still around to hunt with.

[@rdjohnson1614]

Amazing how they blended the old videos with the new. Didn’t even skip a beat! Hope to share memories like these with my grandkids when I am that age. Well done guys!!

[@aaronpoloni]

When I was just a kid, my mom and sister would take trips to see my aunts. My dad and I would go down to the video store, rent a VHS player and Elk Fever. We must have seen it 30 times. What awesome memories.

[@paulhouston1865]

What a wonderful video of two pioneers. RIP Dwight. Wonderfully done!

[@omnipress1]

Rest in the fertile hunting grounds of Heaven Dwight. Followed both Larry and Dwight since starting bowhunting in the mid eighties. So glad to see Larry is still at it. Great tribute to both men.

[@rmef]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@sethrockey3316]

This trilogy has me so pumped up for opening day! We are blessed to chase elk in beautiful country b/c of men like Dwight and Larry.

[@timberg7377]

[@akjst4u]

RIP Dwight. These guys were pioneers in filming elk hunts. Great job to the cana crew on filming this. Really captured the original films well and mixed in the new footage great.

[@canaoutdoor]

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@troywesterbur706]

What a great film. I have to say i teared up a bit. I remember watching these videos as a kid with my Dad. My Dad passed away a couple years ago. I wish he could have seen it. Its amazing how you can tell your story and it touches so many lives. Thank you for everything.

[@zeldarobinson3382]

Rip Dwight Great video guys I really enjoyed it .would like to to The other 2. .God Bless everyone and Stay Safe and Thank you to RMEF. Awesome

[@hardthornedoutdoors7961]

14:58 I’ve stopped at that gas station so many times heading to elk, pronghorn, coyote, and deer country it’s not even funny! These videos are awesome! I’m gonna bag me a bull here next weekend if not in September haha the memories I’ve made hunting elk are probably the only ones I’ll be able to remember when I’m senile! God bless Dwight Larry and RMEF Proud to live in a place where The best holiday is a month long! Lucky for Dwight heaven is full of bugling bulls all year long

[@g-man2228]

Thank you for posting these three films...

[@acsterner1694]

As a tradition, my dad and I watch the orginial elk fever every year right before elk season. Only hunting movie of Its kind! RIP Dwight!

[@bartowmcdonald1803]

Awesome. Very special. Thank you guys for sharing for passion and adventures!

[@bryanmoore8374]

Awesome and inspiring!! I am going on my first Elk hunt in a few weeks at age 47...I thought I might be getting too old, but seeing these guys crush it at their age is so encouraging! I have worked out hard all year...but just hope I can do half as good as Larry and Dwight! I loved the raw emotion expressed by Dwight...RIP kind soul!! Thank you RMEF for sharing this with the world!

[@MrWetrek]

This is so freaking cool! I loved it!

[@rmef]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deadondisplay2895]

Always looked at Dwight as a giant and humble pillar of the elk hunting world. Loved watching him as a kid and still. He will be missed.

[@sageandvelvetfilms4611]

Just the best. So great reading the comments and seeing how much these guys mean to our hunting family. 👍🏻

[@aaronwolfe897]

Love watching these videos. True pioneers.

[@darralldougherty5388]

Those guys went on some great hunts together. It was always good to see them at the shows. Larry & my dad started a varmint hunting video. But it was never finished. Always enjoyed seeing him over the years. Great Elk hunters.

[@BRTreedogs]

Loved the old school vibe

[@mattklutho2119]

I hope there is a stock pile of unpublished Dwight articles for our reading pleasures

[@rmef]

We don't have unpublished, but if you can wrangle up old Bugles, there are published ones!

[@stevenhuettner9190]

So well done and shows the true heart of a hunter. Thank you all for putting this together.

[@KellyRicketts]

I really enjoyed this video, Not so much for the Elk kills, but for two men that really get the most out of being outdoors, I used to Hunt Bighorn Sheep out in Empire Valley British Columbia, never arrowed a Big Ram, but those Solo hunts were more about Communion and just the pleasure of being out in that beautiful environment! Also remember we shared the same Mountain range with Larry, Hunting goats at Eureka Peak Mnt. North of 100 mile house BC Canada, I believe, it was in 1990. Larry was hunting with Eureka Peak Outfitters. I too like Mr, Jones, love using just a bent Stick, Arrows and hopefully good instincts. Larry and Dwight are and were Good Men. Wish you all the best. Condolences to Dwight, and his family.

[@toddgabrielson1884]

Awesome film! R.I.P. Dwight.....it was a pleasure to see you out there one last time, getting it done!! Like you've done 1000 times before....😊

[@bryantaylor9751]

What a tribute. Love the music and the old footage combined with the new footage. An absolute masterpiece. The last 30 seconds with the music and butterfly captured it all. This video made you feel something. I will ask is there an actual Elk Fever III that Dwight and Larry did or was there only Elk Fever I and II? I don’t remember watching an Elk Fever III when I was a kid but I do remember watching the originals I and II.
