An Elk Bugling from the Truck? Destination Elk - Episode 06

[@michaellow7946]

There are times when it gets frustrating but that is also when it separates the men from the boys,a good hunting partner priceless.

[@stevensullivan5874]

Makes it real to those of us that are not professional hunters that have the same struggles. Thanks for sharing

[@radicalrab9]

My dad is my favorite partner. Just enjoy being in the woods hunting. Harvesting an animal is just icing on the cake

[@ronaldyoder3727]

So good to see the realities of hunting, so often the films only show the encounters. Much more time and effort is spent chasing elk than time spent in the encounter, which is what our dreams are made of.

[@nickscott4541]

Grind it out!!! Stay positive! Not all about killing but about the adventure! This series is awesome

[@jonathanishee8296]

Our (my hunting partners and myself) key to perpetual positivity revolves around defining “success.” (I’ve heard Corey and Randy talk about this too) Although we study, shoot, and plan everyday of the year for our elk hunt, we are careful to define success exclusive of harvesting an elk. As long as we are able to spend the allotted time chasing elk in beautiful country, applying our best strategies from what we’ve learned, pushing each other out of our comfort zones and sometimes to our limits, and everyone gets to go back to their families safe and sound, the hunt has been a success! Our mantra when things are quiet is “he’s probably just over that next ridge!” It always gets laugh and shake of the head. Then we take a collective deep breath, hitch our packs into more comfortable positions, and press on as a unit. Such is the way of this public land, archery elk hunting team 🏹

[@jasonolson8392]

Wake up Early with high expectations To bed late with high frustrations Choosing a Unit not chosen by most Not high on elk count but close to the coast Old growth, thick growth, picturesque as can be 1000 miles from nowhere But there’s no place They’d rather be A good friend, a best friend to keep Corey moving Not a bull down, some say they losing Fret not...They won’t get stuck in their sorrow They will press on..... for there’s always tomorrow

[@mattm7108]

Bought my first Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls diaphragm call today to try and learn calling, so excited to spend the next year getting the gear, collecting the knowledge and planning my first elk archery hunt! Once again you guys are adding fuel to the fire and displaying the extreme work ethic and passion it takes to chase these magnificent creatures.

[@Elk101]

Thanks Matt!

[@levirutherford3646]

The best motivation for me when I feel like I can’t make it to the next ridge, or I’m not seeing elk and I want to turn back is I think to myself I bet Corey and the Elk101 guys would go to the next ridge. Then if I have service I watch a quick clip of you guys, and that gives me all the motivation I need to keep pushing. Love the series so far guys great job!!

[@Elk101]

Thanks Levi!

[@lesandannequinn3148]

This was a day that I have had many times. What keeps me going is my son who is 42 years old. He keeps my 66 year old body hopeful for the next day. Sure hope the last day is outstanding. My so and I have gotten lucky on the last day. He has gotten 2 elk to my 0 but I love being out there. Thanks. Les

[@user-vm9bi3mx9q]

Took me 5 yrs, 100s of mi,1000s of feet of elevation to finally get my first shooting opportunity on an elk. I was fortunate enough to make the shot at 9yrds but that was five yrs of education both with rifle and bow. Going from midwestern complete novice to actual success solo...at least in the woods. If it wasn't for you and the rest of the crew providing good information it probably would have been more than 5 yrs. work pays off. Each yr I got closer to shot opportunities and kept a journal of each day so I could learn from my mistakes. Just keep at it is all I can say.

[@tomstraup7339]

I've struggled even after the morning hunt, just a lot of things going on with weather coming in, pressure, not seeing anything, it's all about the people I'm with for me and making the most of the situation moving around camp or just driving doing some glassing and checking out a couple areas and hiking in those areas. I couldn't help but laugh when Donnie was getting bit, I have done the same thing and didn't know what was going on at first, gotta laugh at situations like that, it's what makes the memories and stories. Thanks guys for the hard work and letting us share these moments with you.

[@elijaholson12]

This year was my first year elk hunting.. the first day and a half we didn’t see or hear a single bull. Then on day two, I called in 4 bulls.. 2 were at the same time! We bugled back and forth for like 30 minutes and I got a headache from bugling so much (I drank my 3L Platypus by 2 pm that day). It’s crazy the elk activity from one day to the next! Never give up and always press on!!

[@chrisdp8102]

Showing the true struggles of Elk hunting is what makes these videos great, giving people that realistic view of pre pre rut hunting is why i enjoy these videos not only for myself because I know the struggles but for guys as experienced as you it lets me know that sometimes things are just our of your control.

[@trevorchristianson334]

Keep the shows coming guys!!! Doing an awesome job and can’t wait for each episode to come out. Also still hoping to WIN those Crispi boots! I am going to stay persistent and keep the comments coming. Not one to give up on anything!!! Thanks again for all you do.

[@jonbrown278]

Love how you guys keep grindin! Donny sitting in the ant hill sums up the episode today, but still entertaining! Thanks guys!

[@christophersheridan1955]

JESUS!!! THATS HOW I OVERCOME EVERYTHING !

[@thomasstrand6051]

I absolutely love what you guys are doing and how well you represent the hunting community!

[@Elk101]

Thanks Thomas!

[@jonshea1101]

Fired up for a saturday night of Elk 101 and then Born and Raised on the east coast

[@huntertpj731]

Fun to see Donnie open up a bit. Things to help with morale in the backcountry - sleep/rest, a good hot dinner and warm beverage, coffee and cocoa is my favorite.

[@scp6271]

Good hunting partners make a world of difference successful or not. It's the people around you that keep you going or let you give up

[@kenreiner3721]

Donnie, definately not boring us at all, especially with your ant dance !! Looking forward to the next episode as I am continually learning and in suspense for what's going to happen next. Loving it !!

[@deanrobbins397]

Well done! Love the positive attitudes even when the chips are down. Drawing on a buddy's enthusiasm certainly keeps you going when things get tough. A quick prayer with your maker never hurts either just to say thanks for the opportunity. 🙏

[@caseyedgerly2865]

i coached High School Football for the last 11 yrs. so I’ve been a weekend warrior. This year I stepped away from football to chaise bugles in September. I was able to spend 12 days in the Central Oregon woods and loved every minute of it. I hunted with my Farher in law the guy who got me hooked on calling in elk. Great hunting partner and the chance to hear that Growling-Screaming-Raking monster Bull is what keeps me going hard when times are rough.

[@MountainADX]

Our family loves watching and the series gets better and better every episode. Keep up the great work elk101 boys!

[@Elk101]

Thanks Cory!

[@kaydencontracting]

Donnie is exceptionally hilarious. He doesnt need to drink water because he gets rehydrated from all the fog. And his wagon train style hiking haha

[@martinbekier6093]

Hunting has many high and lows! Hopefully day six for you guys will be a high! Just as long as Donny does not have ants in his pants! Great video series Corey and Donny! Don’t throw in the towel!

[@Elk101]

Thanks Martin!

[@fulldrawassassins]

This series is all the fuel I need to convince myself to get up at 4:30 a.m. to hike a half mile in the dark 6° out. To wait at a spot hoping the elk cross the side of private land instead of tribal land. Not a lot of hiking but definitely an early morning wake-up, 30 mile drive, 1/2 mile pitch black cold hike, 45 minute freezing wait for a 5 minutes of cross your fingers luck. Got to love elk hunting with a bow! Amen!

[@d.j.montgomery1848]

It's all about spending time in the mountains with people you care about and chasing a common dream. Even my unsuccessful hunts have great memories. Your experiences so far on this series are very similar to mine. Nicely done.

[@davemorris1885]

I can't tell you the number of times I have been right on the edge of just throwing my bow down and walking out of the woods to head home and watch football. But then I collect my thoughts and say to myself "it's time to bear down and persist" and a very high percentage of the time something really exciting happens and I at least have a lasting memory of an experience that most people will never have or a freezer full of meat. On the other hand, 100% of the times that I threw in the towel all I had to show for it was a frustrating day of taking my bow for a walk in the woods, so fight off the urge to quit and "BEAR DOWN".

[@benbennett8610]

Its always comforting hearing the hunters we look up to saying that they go through the same day to day struggles that other hunters go through. Super excited to see you guys end strong in Oregon!

[@kurtnielsen9315]

When the hunting gets frustrating I break out the camera and take pictures. It helps remind me of why I go to the mountains.

[@dean3471]

Hi Guy's. It looks like you are having some of my kind of luck. But when I am out hunting I'm in my happy place. No body around no cell phone just me and nature. I can feel my stress level just fade away It just awesome.

[@tysonrobertson8824]

Last year I had a rough year. My wife and I spent lots of time scouting a new area, got to know everything we could and we had the first part of the season to ourselves. Half way through it seemed like the secret was out and there were all sorts of people that moved into the area pushing all the animals out. It was so frustrating to me but my wife kept telling me it would all work out. We kept hunting and had some good chances but couldnt connect. Even though I didnt fill my tag, it was one of the most memorable hunts for me because my wife was right there beside me the entire time and we had some amazing experience together out in the hills! Thanks guys!

[@jaronsherwood2938]

I've had days just like that. It makes it hard to concentrate. I'm enjoying the series.

[@MrGphelan]

Stick with it guys! Love the raw emotion and it's nice to see that the struggle is REAL.... even in Oregon! Keep showing all the ups and downs and that roller coaster ride! Good luck Corey & Donnie

[@patweidmann6804]

It helps to hear and see that even a great caller and hunter like Corey goes through a series of tough days and struggles with staying persistent. That helps me to keep going, knowing that even the really good ones have the same mental struggles. Thank you for being real, honest, and transparent with your struggles.

[@mikeesh1886]

Hey awesome series guys! Hey Donny I know the feeling of ants! Washed a fair share of them out off my pants every weekend! And I'm remembering the one evening after a frustrating day, me and my partner crawled in his tent and watched a movie! Sometimes just taking your mind off your problem is enough to get you up again! Keep Stumping!

[@anthonyjagoditsh7367]

The look on Donnies face when he realized he was sitting on an ant pile. Lol

[@drake1988]

Thought I could just power through it, nope!

[@phildetter8966]

I definitely think part of it is just being able to take a minute and realize the beautiful country that you are in and that we are lucky enough to have those chance encounters and experiences. Way to stay positive and keep pushing. Your hard work and perseverance is encouraging and you guys will be rewarded.

[@dougf.5611]

Anyone that has done much elk hunting has been where you guys were. And I must admit I’ve thrown in the towel once or twice, usually when hunting solo. That’s why a good hunting partner is so vital. I also do a lot of praying and thanking God for the ability and opportunity to be out chasing elk. It may be corny but singing favorite songs in my head is another thing I do. Thanks for your honesty and message today.

[@royredner6736]

My persistence is the healing I get from being on the mountain. It's hard to keep pushing sometimes when things aren't going your way but, I'm truly out there to reconnect to nature....being on the mountains or in the woods helps to refocus my energy and teaches me to have humility...also hunting is usually one of the few times I get to spend with my brother so just being together makes it all worth it!!! Also, as the old adage goes " cant shoot one from my couch." Love the show...elk 101, hushin and the bro crew much respect for you all!!

[@clintradford4806]

"You eating my PopTart?!?" Donnie with the breakfast of champions!! :-) No one is bored fellas...keep em' coming

[@Elk101]

Thanks Clint!!!

[@blainerada4957]

I agree. Good hunting partners are the key to keeping going when things are slow.

[@pauljolstead2752]

I’m soaking up all the persistence. It’s a great reality check for me to see the best elk hunters in the world struggle. I will remember this when I’m out there striking out. Stay the course.

[@bbeers649]

Tough day boys hopefully you'll get into them tomorrow. Me and my brother always say to each other. "You can't get'em if your not out there". Especially when were tired in the morning after long days of humping hills. It's always great to have a good hunting partner to keep you motivated to get out there and run the playbook as the Bro Nation would say. Keep sticking it out you guys loving the new day by day series.

[@tiffhowe8167]

My first time hunting this year. I had a great guy volunteer to go along with me (without a tag). He kept things positive through a hunt full of reasons to be discouraged. Very thankful for good hunting buddies.

[@irishbulldog3389]

I have to be honest to the fact that I’ve throw in the towel before buck hunting and then slept in the next morning! But usually I have a ton of drive like you guys and the thing I try to remember is that I’m out in the wilderness hunting and seeing nature. And there’s lots and lots of people who don’t care or don’t get the chance to get out and do what we all love to do and that is to hunt and be one with nature. And to try and keep those skills going that have been passed down from generation to generation. And if I’m totally honest it keeps me going so I can get that chance to TASTE A TASTY WILD STEAK FROM THE ANIMAL IM HUNTING!!! Haha great job guys Corey and Donnie. Like how honest and down to earth you two are! Keep up the great work guys you guys rock!!!!!!

[@jmulling]

I'm a softie when it comes to being away from family, coupled with knowing I still had an elk rifle tag, I threw in the towel. Power to you gents for sticking it out... especially knowing you have more hunts to come.

[@walterlopata930]

Hi guys, thanks for sharing all the ups and downs, so helpful. Hey Donnie I can't shoot Corey bow myself, because I'm a lefty also, been using a friends bow, so if you have any used ones. I'd be more then happy to put it to good use . Thanks to all you folks making these hunts possible. God bless

[@bradyzachmann8584]

Thanks for another great video! One of the things that i really like about these kind of series is that you guys show that not every day is always a kill and that everybody ( even the pros) have tough days. Appreciate the time and effort put in to put these videos out there. Keep it up boys!!

[@SMsPRTyCRw07]

"Don't let the Family down!! You're already away from them make good use out my time" is how I stay Motivated!!

[@Wickline311]

What keeps me going? My kids. I want to learn and experience as much as possible to pass it on to them. Pushing through the times I feel like walking away, I see them and am driven for their sake. I want them to witness the rewards of working hard and being persistent. Thank for sharing your experiences gentlemen!

[@1Muzzleman]

What keeps me going when the chips are down: remembering what it feels like the other 11 months that I have no opportunity to hunt. Looked like an exhausting hunt. Love the “old growth” areas you are hunting. Some day my wife and kids want to drive up to Oregon to experience the dark, jungle-like timber. Thank you for posting these videos for us all to enjoy and learn. My family loves watching Elk 101, Destination Elk.

[@burton7mjb]

Appreciate you guys showing the low moments. I know it may not always seem like the most entertaining elk video, but this is a reality that everyone needs to see. And the lows are not always (or usually) followed by the highs, but they are just as often followed by more discouragement if the elk aren't talking. Thanks for keeping it authentic.

[@nathanlangfield4099]

Ant pile....no flowers! Good humor, Donnie!

[@jeffreyoyler2032]

Keep up the good work! Don’t throw in the towel, it’s too much fun to watch you fellas. The character of a man shines through when tired, frustrated, and wanting to quit. I can’t wait for the alert each day when the new episode is ready to watch!

[@markhastings7831]

“I’m sitting on an ant pile!” That was hilarious! I loved the delayed reaction. Donnie rocks!

[@lukusmyers2269]

I hunt solo tons and I keep going for the same reasons as you guys said. The next draw or ridge may produce the bull of a life time or a memory that never can be taken away. The elk woods is what I love for. And thank you guys for what you do.

[@craigjaeger8735]

In that situation I think you should stay an extra day and hunt both areas, maybe Donnie can find some flowers with the extra time.

[@richardsudweeks1402]

It’s all about being out in the mountains!! I know when I struggle I always tell myself it could be worse I could be at work and listening to the stories of my buddies hunting!!! Just always enjoy your time and keep a positive attitude!!! Listen to your podcast then watching this episode all I can think of is don’t leave elk to find elk!!! Which is something you guys have taught me!!! Love the show keep at can’t wait to watch another episode!!!

[@MrDaltonjerry]

It's that inner drive as hunters that drives us. Even if it means missing important events in our family's lives. Hard to explain that passion to others sometimes. You guy's rock!

[@daveyjones990]

Understanding the trials watching this and reliving an Elk Hunt diy I completed. Not a lot of elk action from my hunt. Great series guys, really enjoying the content and determination you all have sticking with it until the very end.

[@ToToMcJoe]

Donny I'm starting to think the ants are after your Cheezwiz.....😆. Thank you again for another really cool video. We're trapseing around the same area again trying to fill a buddy's 2nd Season Tag.

[@boonebrown]

That's how it goes sometimes guys it can be super challenging hunting the PNW rainforest but you definitely take away a whole new outlook on hunting and life in general it'll reward you in the end kill or no kill. Memories made with ones you truly care for and the adventures brought upon your travels keeps you looking forward to what's ahead!

[@gregstucky4080]

Day 6 seems like a pretty normal day in early season. Especially is the big trees in Oregon. Love the lone bugle at the end. That makes it a good day in the end. 😁. I always go after that guy in the morning! He’ll be right there almost every time.

[@joehewitson2000]

Mmmmmm cheese! Lol. Such an awesome area to hunt. I definitely plan on an Oregon hunt at some point. This gives some great perspective on what to expect.

[@codycrane9449]

Being from Oregon the unit I hunt is right at the transition of the tall dark timber and desert oaks and sagebrush. We have tracked a number of herds throughout the year and had them pinpointed to the exact areas they would be and to the exact hour they would be there while making their looping pattern.....until opening day. The elk vanish every year as if the Purge alarm is sounded. We found the elk were strictly nocturnal, so for 8 days we hunted where we knew the elk were, following fresh tracks every morning hoping to stumble across an elk in the wrong place at the wrong time. We stuck to the thinner more visible oaks knowing the elk were going into dark timber and over the rim rocks into canyons long before first light. On day 9 we decided to head into the canyon and make a last ditch effort to flush them out of the Day beds. We found them in the deepest, darkest, nastiest canyon around. It’s hard to stay positive knowing the elk are an hour ahead of you. The drive to keep pressing on knowing the elk have likely already made their nightly routine before we were out of bed can be a killer to your mood. My fiancé and hunting partner was the one telling me anything can change at any second, but I guarantee we won’t kill anything from camp. Great partners and positive attitudes can change the world around to your morale. “Just one minute is all it takes”

[@Tmills0920]

Having the opportunity to spend quality time with my kids or my brother away from the hustle of home and work is motivation for me when things get challenging. And now that I'm in my 60's, i know the number of opportunities ahead of me are fewer than those behind me. I plan to keep moving and enjoying as much of the experience as I can. Really enjoying watching and learning from you guys. Keep it up.

[@denniswilson206]

Lesson relearned! When your wore out, sore and tired don’t let it get to your attitude. That’s easier said than done. Thanks guys

[@danabertolini5064]

WOW! I'll say it again, you guys are REAL!!! I literally felt your frustration and fatigue when you guys were sitting there transparently expressing how you were feeling. We've all been there, but that was a great reminder to stay the course ... to persevere. I'll be stronger in this area the next time I'm in the field because of your show - Thanks! DB

[@troubleshooter5728]

I must say the work that you and Donnie are doing here on Destination Elk is incredible I can hardly wait until Dirk joins you all in Wyoming . I have truly enjoyed watching the series here in Oregon my home state, brings back memories of hunting the coast, but now I live and hunt in eastern Oregon in my later years. I will be watching the whole series and I know there will be more wild days chasing the mighty Wapiti. keep the faith and hunt on, it's not over till it's over. it only takes one to turn everything around.

[@Elk101]

Thanks Trouble SHooter!

[@shanejohnson1220]

The last two years I’ve been hunting solo, not 100% by choice, just waiting for the teamsters to be persistent and push forward! 6th year archery I am going to push on and one day I will fulfill my dreams

[@MyBackSlider]

Persistence is key. I hunted solo this year for 10 days and it was tough after blown stalks, missing the biggest bull I've ever had a chance at, passing on lots of smaller bulls and lots of hiking and elevation gain and loss. Good hunting partners that keep you motivated are hard to find and are important to help you stick with it and tomorrow may be the day. Great episodes guys!

[@DNDJEEPS]

Most if not all of us have been there. Multi days in to a hard hunt, unfamiliar area and little to no luck. Frustration starts to set in and it gets hard on the enthusiasm. Gotta bash on and make it happen. Like you said, a good hunting partner is priceless. Also remember, the experience is a great prize on its own. Good job guys.

[@chrisquiring5184]

Patience and persistence. Love the show guys!

[@cliffrezak8234]

Just want to say I really like the music intro and the Destination Elk logo is awesome! Even though there was no excitement in this episode, still good. I hunted with buddies this year for first time in 10 years and our comradeship made a long unsuccessful hunt worth every minute.

[@thadroberts5181]

I think each of us that have hunted elk would love to fill our tag each year. I look at it this way... I won just by being out there and experiencing country that most will never see because they never leave the road. I've seen valleys that are beautiful and heard elk bugle that get the adrenaline pumping. There isn't anything like it! Love watching Destination Elk!

[@wendelllamotte7834]

A wonderful wife, great friends, dreams and post card pictures keep me going on during the tough times. Now I have these awesome motivational shows and elk talks to keep those Wapiti dreams alive. Thank you

[@a.wilson7076]

Keep up the hard work! Enjoy watching you guys even through the slow times.One thing that I try to think about is that if you give up or quit early you'll never know what you might miss out on! FOMO!

[@Yamikeylikesit70]

A day in the jungle is still better than a day at work! Thanks for the real life elk hunting action

[@cindydenton2681]

Enjoying every minute of watching these! Persistence does pay off as I found out this year! Called in bulls for my husband and brother. When it came my turn up to shoot, we couldn’t find an Elk anywhere! Finally my Wyoming tag did it’s magic and turned into a cow tag. I got it done solo 3 days ago. At least I put meat in the freezer! Learned a lot from Elk 101 and you guy’s! Can’t thank you enough!

[@Elk101]

Thanks Cindy! Congrats!

[@stevemiller6915]

I hunt every year with 3 other guys, when one of us gets discouraged the other 3 are there to push and lift their spirits. That is what good hunting buddies do for each other, that is what makes a great hunt!

[@JohnWeik]

Man we are enjoying all the fun every night as a family so keep at it guys! I also hunt elk archery and the frustration is well shared. Has always kept us in elk even if its a cow as some of the areas are any elk so if September doesn't work for a bull the late season is first elk in the bow sights!! Amen.

[@daves6068]

Day 6: the elk were few and the ants were plenty. Nice shuffle Donnie! I say you chase the bull at last light.

[@justinpropp2059]

When my hunts haven't gone as I had hoped, my 5 year old son is always at home waiting to hear every detail and encouraging me to keep trying because he believes in me. I look forward to the opportunity to take my son hunting and pass on everything I've learned. The successes make the struggles well worth it.

[@Storeyman33]

Great vid guys. The grind is real. I’m usually solo except for last year and it’s hard to keep a good attitude when you’re not seeing or hearing anything. You just buckle down and give her hell! I appreciate this series and learning a lot. Appreciate you guys.

[@daveweis6566]

My hunting buddy and I do a very good job in supporting each other when one gets down. I wouldn't be near as strong to get through those tough hunts alone! Great video! Looking forward to your Wyoming hunt!

[@alanwise525]

I hunt alone about 80% of the time and it really gets tough not to give up the last couple of days of a tough hunt and just go home. It sure helps to have a partner or two whereas you can pick up the spirits of each other and keep the hunt going. You guys are never going to quit until last shooting light of the last day. Good episode--keep 'em coming!!

[@everb90]

Looks like it was a tough day for guys. I'm glad you didn't throw in the towel and go home. I'm Anxious to see tomorrow's video. Watching you all press on even on the hard days gives me motivation. Thx for sharing your hunting experience !

[@westface1]

Another entertaining watch, ants...of all things you sit in ants....well done on the reaction!

[@guywhatley3219]

For me watching the struggles you are having is a confidence builder as I am reminded that everyone who hunts elk with a bow will struggle. Thanks for showing us all the ups and downs you had in western oregon.

[@kristaporthomassian1736]

Hardest thing I have found about elk hunting is exactly what you guys talked about today.. Thanks for reminding me about the keys to perseverance..part of it is the feeling we think we have " failed" if we haven't punched our tag..I find my self taking Donnie's approach.. enjoying the beauty of our public lands, committing to the plan at hand, and totally being present in the moment..that's all you really got!

[@greghorn6671]

Another great show. It shows how how tough elk hunting can be mentally and Physically.

[@nickdorroh1258]

Persistence usually pays off. Best of luck tomorrow! Hoping for a harvest for you guys! I love the backstory as to why you chose to come out to chase Roosevelt Elk! The scenery looks AMAZING!!! 😁🤙🏹🦌

[@7kngeorge7]

Those time are tuff but that is why elk hunting is so special and amazing. Great hunt guys.

[@t2shortb]

Another great episode guys! Persistence always pays off in anything that you do! For me, having buddies around and getting to see some awesome country is the big win and what drew me into hunting last year. I have been a big time saltwater/off shore fisherman since I was young and I can't believe it took me up until I was 37 to expand my hunting ranges to the land part of earth. I already had an amazing encounter during the only day in early eastern Washington archery that I was able to hunt... 10 foot stare down with a huge stinky 6x6 for 45 seconds, He had come out into a meadow at 30 yds and closed right to me! The only issue is that I didn't have a bull tag in my pocket. If I wasn't all in before, now I'm ruined for life! This is me patiently waiting for next friday to get up the mountain for late season... I can't wait to spend the week in elk country!

[@dustinspendlove5434]

What a great strategy for success tonight you can’t give up until the hunt is over you guys are awesome keep up the great work on destination elk my 9 year old son loves it so much all I hear is dad we have to get me threw hunters safety so we can go try some of Corey’s strategies

[@SlideDownSlow]

I think the last day of the hunt is just as important as the first day. I always loved the last day and usually took the last 30 minutes or so to reflect on y experiences and just sat there and watched the sun set. its peaceful

[@Viking_bowhunter]

I love this video series on your Oregon Roosevelt elk hunting trip. You guys are getting a taste of what I've been going through for almost 20years and have yet to seal the deal on a bull elk. It is a major love hate relationship with bowhunting in general but especially with roosevelt elk.

[@paulthompson6600]

Keep up the good work guys. It's hard getting after day after day. Especially when you're still holding your tag. Living in town makes it a lot easier for me to get out into the woods lol.
