First Bull Elk EVER! | New Mexico Elk Hunting (FT S9 EP.7)

Ty Newman was the lucky winner of our 2018 Win a Hunt with Randy Newberg giveaway. Unfortunately, he couldn't go hunting with us until 2020, but he did manage to draw a nice New Mexico tag on his first try. Once they get to their hunting unit, Randy and Ty don't even have to leave camp to hear bugling elk. Other hunters, the terrain, and the weather make getting close enough for a shot a bit of a challenge. With the amount of elk they have seen, Ty and Randy remain confident that they will get one with enough perseverance. Will Ty bring home his first elk?

This older guy I became acquainted with back in the 70's was an elk hunter, that was his passion. He told me he hunted deer to prepare for elk season, had only bagged 3 deer in his life, they were all B&C. Clyde was his name, said the best way to hunt elk was to live with them from day one to the time you had yours in your rig, I thought he meant to do what you do now and hunt daylight to dark, wrong, he actually lived in the hunting area for a few days with the elk all around, if they moved at night he got up and moved with them. The man smelled like an elk so he didn't disturb them, he ate cold food when he got hungry, drank from water holes, even out of tracks that had water. I hunted the same areas he hunted and would cross him once in a while, we helped each other pack out more than once. I managed to get an elk yearly for 9 years using his method, Clyde passed away in his truck with a large bull in the back in 1988. I quit hunting elk in 1991 and deer in 1996. Love watching Randy and his adventures and wish I was still able to get out and do that, COPD has taken that away now along with cancer, but it is still great to watch these hunts.

9 years is a heck of an accomplishment, but just a footnote to your awesome memories. All the best.

[@desperado8605]

Wow. He definitely died doing what he loved

[@allenwilson9656]

You're absolutely right, most of the elk or mule deer hunters I watch on KZbin hunt all day come to camp 🏕 at night cook a meal in their tent get the smell of food on them then go out the next mornin with the smell of vittles on their camos and expect to get up close and personal with the game , yes some do but in most cases they don't. Great lesson you learned. Prayin for your health

[@rayc.1396]

@@allenwilson9656 Than you!

[@Lexidezi225]

Awesome story but it’s not possible for a human to smell like an elk. No matter what you do your going to smell like ASS in two days and your smell will just get worse and worse. Gotta use the wind properly

[@nicholasnelson6073]

The Jemez is my back yard very tough hunting in the burns, but lots of big elk. Wife got one a few years back in a deep canyon. Lots of very hard work we got him out. You made the right choice bailing on the first bull.

[@jonathanmiller3613]

"You okay shootin him the bed" "Me too". Thats the most Randy thing after years of listening to Elk Talk I've heard except for all his marriage advice! Love it!

[@mikemccomas1440]

Randy is an artist. He paints a picture through his words, wit and infectious personality. How could you not enjoy sharing a campfire with him -- matchstick blow downs excluded.

[@scottphillipy9831]

Congrats Ty. Correct, Nothing worth having is easy. Nice job.

[@patricksnyder3446]

CONGRATS!! I had never really hunted much got an opportunity to go elk hunting! Never had so much fun never seemed like work and the experience will never be forgotten!! Much like this hunt it was a 1 in a million and you have a new friend for life. almost better than bagging the elk!!

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Awesome hunt Randy. Proud of the job you all do.

[@brushwolf]

[@Paul-i2s]

Awesome video!!! First bull with Randy guiding incredibly fortunate to win. Congratulations!!! I won an archery hunt several years ago at a hunting show in Perry Georgia with Ron Clements with Lone Cone outfitters near Norwood Co. got my first elk with bow , a mature cow. Would have rather had won the hunt with Randy 😂

[@cliby83]

The “camera guy” always spotting your elk… you need to pay him more 😂

[@imjamn5]

That was an excellent hunt!

[@perryknetter8577]

Congratulations on your first Elk Great Job Dale on the video work Thank you Randy and RMEF God's Blessings

[@CHUY-DRZ400s]

This guys humor is awesome!!

[@sagemata5756]

I like how y’all come into our mountains with your fancy gear and walk out with one of the smallest elk we got. The Los alamos side is trash anyway😂

[@sterlingwilkey2124]

Awesome video, randy one of these days I am going to win a hunt with you

[@robertsoricelli7545]

[@Fresh_Tracks]

[@realrussclarke]

[@bix12593]

Dale the camera man!!! aka elk spotter. Seemed like a great time out there

[@jeremymiller4714]

Awesome hunt really enjoyed it

[@roymyers8575]

Great job Ty

[@RoadLifePursuits]

LOL, rolling rocks down to scare em up....I guess it's not illegal...I have seen this done in ND too to get the deer out of the gully....glad no one got hit.

[@mikemkf]

Congrats Ty nice job.

[@williamgray4550]

Now that was an awesome hunt!!!

[@edwardspears646]

Where was this episode filmed what part of New Mexico

[@disco4535]

I never hunted, never even known anyone personally that has hunted. Now that I'm old enough, I wish so badly that I could meet an older gentleman that I could just go hunting with. Don't have to shoot anything, don't have to have any of the meat. I just want to learn from someone that's done it, successfully, for a long time. Seems some people that grew up going out hunting with their dads/grandpas don't realize how incredibly lucky they are. There is so much to learn/acquire, skill, wisdom, and gear, makes it difficult starting from absolute 0.

[@thomaspruett6910]

I'm an adult onset hunter myself. I've had very few people to learn from, mostly learned from just getting out there, messing up, and doing it. But you're right, those who grew up with it definitely have an advantage in some ways over those who came to it later. If you're ever in or around Idaho during hunting season, while I'm not an older gentlemen with a long streak of success, you'd be welcome to go out with me.

[@Umakemelaff]

Outstanding! That’s awesome

[@FatherTom100]

Can you tell me how to apply ? I would love to hunt with Mr. Newberg

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Another good hunt!!!

[@bbic3385]

Great work guys! 99% sure I have the same tag, and will be in NM in several weeks! Want to join us Randy?! 😁

[@bbic3385]

I will contact you tomorrow!

[@777nii3]

Congratulations Ty

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Amazing place great experience

[@daryl2204]

My dad used to employ the rock rolling technique on mule deer, of course he missed every shot at the bucks as they hightailed it out of the canyon.. this Wyoming hunter doesn’t do that 😊

[@derekboberg9766]

I have a pretty good idea which unit this is. For whatever reason in that area the hunters have no manners or respect. Had a guide that hunts up there shoot into a canyon in my direction trying to get elk to move. Its ridiculous. Great hunt though!

[@randytrimble3493]

Didn't know you we're hunting with the rolling stones did you

[@BousianDuke001]

What unit was this?

[@brearlymason4903]

Kickass!

[@stealthstalkerghillie]

This unit looks a lot like 6C

[@paulinesmith2268]

Sorry about the rocks 😬 we thought we heard something. 🤷‍♀️

[@jamesthurman4816]

You can tell who’s new and who’s been here awhile. This is a old video lol
