This was a great video. Not just talking from a chair but being out in the woods.

[@DeanSchumacher]

Yall are alsome my fav hunting yt channel now

[@drakekessler9107]

Thank you for all of the education and good viewing so far boys. Driving from Wiscaawwwnsin, here - enjoyed that callout!

[@CURRYCUTTINGLLC]

Thank you guys for this series. I have found e-scouting my areas (west cascades and coast ranges of Oregon) to be difficult cuz it all looks the same. Tons of feed water and shelter n it all looks the same on the map. I work in all the places I want to hunt so I spend all year scouting haha. Thank you guys for everything you do.

[@sebastionroe6337]

This channels is great it has me wanting to try elk hunting out. It looks so much harder than whitetail.

[@chadmelstrom2129]

Could you do a video on any possible tricks you use to determine weather a bugle you heard is an actual bull vs another hunter calling back to you?

[@randynez7223]

Nice bull guys, love that 👍awesome. 👍

[@randylarkin7022]

Love all your videos shows great job guys great stuff

[@ricksmith2134]

Good series. Wish I’d watched this one before I went hunting in October (rifle hunter). The area I’d hunted for 10 years was closed this year. I got a tag for a new area with limited public land. Did a little e-scouting (not enough). Went out the evening before opening day and the steepness of the country and the competition scared me off. Went back 2 weeks later but the elk had mostly been chased onto private land. Treavor’s comment about not getting intimidated would have been invaluable. The video on scouting would’ve helped a lot too.

[@josephpyatok6408]

Hey you guys are great. Great information I been a fan for a few years you helped me so much I enjoy all your videos I really appreciate you guys thanks so much. Awesome 😎

[@skooter82]

Great Video!

[@zanelee70]

I’m trying to go on a elk hunt in a couple of years so can you guys go over binos, rangefinder, and all of the info on the camping side such as do you set a base camp and stay there or pack up camp every morning and leave or do you set up camp by the truck and hunt from the truck

[@mackbang]

hey Im from the Oregon coast! seaside/canon beach area actually!

[@Des_Chu]

"Bachelor spots" hah I love it!

[@ryanr6656]

Hey guys. I’ve not seen many or anyone at all talk in detail about traveling off trail in the back country in the dark.

[@stuartpalmer7572]

All your vids are awesome wish i could be there with you. Stuart Palmer Adelaide Sth Australia

[@dillonsmith992]

Loving these videos. Me and 4 friends will be making a hunt 2021. We're from south Louisiana and have no elk hunting experience and no mentor with elk experience. Where is a good resource for learning about elk sign, bedding, what to look for in habitat and all that jazz. Thanks

[@ryanp.8387]

Go through your packs!!!

[@Viking_bowhunter]

Walter pulled a Houdini after you guys filmed him. I almost killed him 2 or 3 years before you caught a glimpse of him. Kody an I talked about him at one of the film tour at the wildlife safari. I do know where he use to hang out an how he responded to pressure. But since then his hiding holes have been logged. His offspring are still up there. Almost got one 5 years ago ,he was a 5x5 close to 40inches inside spread. But just didn't have a ethical shot that would have taken his whole boiler room.

[@skippylippy547]

I wonder how you would locate Elk in the late-season hunt? That's such thick cover I can't imagine how to find them when the rut is over?

[@TradTech]

I love everything you guys have put together since Ty. This series is excellent. I have 3 DIY's under the belt and am planning my next. If it wasn't for you guys and the other content providers, I probably wouldn't be as energized as I am today. Coming from someone who could be considered old, you give me the drive to continue my determination to get one more in before I start to feel like I'm 63. Love you guys!

[@controversialhunter8032]

Agreed!!! Not sure how many more Archery hunts this Arthritis ridden body has but I'll do it , till I no longer can.

[@schristianson77]

Big tip i received was act just like what you're calling as, just like they were saying.... We were setup in ground blinds on a creek bed in Montana and I was calling in a bull (that we spotted just before last light) last year for a friend and laid out a few cow calls which i had responses to everytime, from 2 bulls until they shut up out of nowhere. i cow called one more time and nothing. after that the tip came into my mind(the light was fading and i knew we needed to try something fast).... i pulled some grass from the ground without calling again and had an instant response from a herd bull of 300 elk and the other satellite bull, we saw the herd bull earlier in the day and he was a stud (370ish). At this time it was getting too dark to shoot but that bull (or another, couldn't see) he followed us at least a 1/4 mile back toward the truck pissed off that we were leaving. At one point he was within 15 feet. bottom line these bulls fell for my cheap ass primos call for a minute but the grass pulling fully fooled them. They were all in after that. calling elk is all about outsmarting them. THINK LIKE AN ELK.

[@miles02000]

Though not directly about hunting, filming my is a close second to harvesting and animal. Could you share some tips on tactics of gear to get footage and make the “shot on camera” happen? Thanks!

[@bradevans8714]

Got my first bull hunt this year. Thanks for all the content

[@jessemiller4603]

i'm trying to find the zipper style game bags.

[@pab40sc]

Great series guys. Would like to see more about topo triggers for how you pick that hot spot.

[@catholichomesteaders678]

Perry Burns agreed

[@andrewsteber5298]

How much will you push your wind if you've got fresh rubs and scat? If its swirling, will you still call knowing elk are near or back out and get back on them with either better wind or new day?

[@dalebaldwin6377]

Good job! Great reference and tips!

[@caden1138]

Great videos Bro Crew, you all are true ambassadors to the sport and spread such a supportive positive message!!!!!! We appreciate everything you guys do! Everyone watching, buy one of the Bro Elk calling kits, I did last year and by far these are the best reeds you will find!!! The Bro Crew inspired me to go my first public land 7-day DIY Backcountry bow hunt to Colorado last year from NC, it was an incredible experience. Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@bornandraisedoutdoors]

Thanks Chris! So awesome to hear that we played a small role in you chasing your dreams out West!

[@jonjones3415]

Archery Elk Hunting two states this fall. First season archery hunting elk,rifle last two years. Land of the Free Project, souly responsible. Love it. Thank you!!

[@theloudamerican2193]

you gentlemen are fantastic educators to novice elk hunters like myself. thank you for sharing your time.

[@tannerthomason1944]

I'm getting prepared for September elk Colorado I'd love to be a video guy for ya I pro staff for the fallen outdoors and I'm trying to get a nonprofit started for kids with autism and learning disabilities my son's autistic and its a goal of mine to help other families that love thr outdoors

[@threiken]

Colorado is a muddy mess this year. Tips for wet years?

[@uscghonorguard]

Heading out next week for first DIY OTC. We’ve spent a ton of time watching B&R videos. Wish us luck and thanks for all the great advice and entertainment.

[@richardsmouse9737]

staying positive is definitely key. Making a pact, is an idea I plan to try with my group this fall. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@ianhansberger7038]

what about us FOOLS from NY who drive out to go elk hunting... you guys keep getting hung up on the midwest folks!!! :) hahaha

[@DCade52]

So following this page has been pretty great and helpful. I was in the Air Force for 6 year. Blessed to meet some pretty amazing friends and mentors who would talk about their adventures in Washington state and Oregon, stalking elk. So I had the desire to get into the field. I’m the type of fella that likes to do his research before just walking in expecting to be a pro overnight. I’m a confident hunter but that’s because of that mentality. A willingness to learn and be the apprentice to the journey. Following this page was the last step in my personal push to just fuckin do it. I appreciate the content and honest views on the hunt. Keep it coming fellas

[@frankieg9585]

Thanks again BROs for the guidance and tips to be a better hunter. Always learning.

[@phildetter8966]

Love this series.

[@edwinherrera-nieto-]

I appreciate all your input or output, I live in Colorado and I love the outdoors, it's hard to find stuff like you guys have put together I want to pass on to my kids my love of the outdoors and of course the hunt, thanks again and keep doing what you do.

[@donmcbride1675]

Thanks for doing this series and the great advice.

[@tundrapooltundragaming5044]

I love y'alls videos!! Been out the past week with a military buddy of mine searching for his first ever elk here in Colorado!!! My son even loves your shows and he's 2!!

[@justinnelson5217]

THANK YOU!

[@w.a.w.fishing910]

Nice bull

[@nativehuntinggear5491]

Thank you Guys a great listen and loads of advise Iam back pack hunting by myself for my first Bull . Iam doing heaps of research and practising calls most days leading up to my trip . Iam from Australia . Thanks again .

[@thedreamteam4u]

I live above spokane and I recently found a large Hurd of elk near me. I found them in November and they are still there right now. I've been told that the elk are there every year. A few of the bulls are 300 class bulls. Do elk have a winter range? How do I hunt them in September? Will they be in the same areas in September as November.

[@johnmasson3979]

Super helpful!

[@kennyplowman2378]

I wont miss a video you guys put out. They are all great. Keep it up. I would like to see a video on your sleep systems. Set up your tent or tarps along with everything else that goes in your tent at night

[@northwestwildandfree1505]

Great video enjoyed every drop of info!

[@adamcarter7095]

That stump behind Trent at 20:30 looks like a bull presenting the Texas Heart shot. Loving the series guys!

[@timandamy8938]

TRULY love watching you guys! We are a family of hunters. My wife is my favorite person to be in the woods with! Adding my son and daughter (who drew her first rifle cow tag this year) makes it the perfect family! Love spending time in the woods with these people! Thank you for all the inspiration 8/1 marks our season this year!😁 U guys get us READY FOR MEAT!

[@josephrogers8213]

Do the game bags leak aka a blood trail I know they breathe

[@Ryan.Willis]

Keep it up fellas, great series! So many hunting content producers these days seem to just be in it for the money but you all are different. Actually trying to teach and not constantly pushing gear on fans. Thanks again and may God bless all you do!

[@chanborden9259]

Awesome! Grown up on Oregon coast only second year archery huntin, really enjoy when you guys give tips about this area👍🏻

[@mattbrem5]

Great series! thanks guys!

[@jonathanargetsinger1302]

Really like this series guys! My buddy and I we're just beginning to plan for a 2021 OTC elk hunt a couple days before this series started. We had no idea we're to begin really , being from Iowa and only hunted whitetail and turkey before. This is really gonna help us get a solid foundation so thanks alot you guys! Any videos on scouting or how elk use terrain/topography would be awesome too! Thanks again!

[@Palosfire]

Thanks guys for all the info. I am looking forward to my first OTC Elk hunt. Trent, thank you for answering my questions. Be safe guys

[@kylestout4322]

Love it! Dreaming of being in the mtns chasing elk someday!

[@mattmclean3820]

As always.....great detailed info.....have learned allot.....thanks fellas!!

[@sixbysix4584]

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@brianschmitt1357]

Absolutely great series!! Looking at getting back out west elk hunting after many years away. This series was exactly what I was looking. Keep up the great work and good luck in the elk mountains this fall!

[@derricktaber122]

Would it be possible to go over what y’all do with your elk once it’s packed out? Assuming you do your own butchering, what’s your technique for grinding/packaging? Hell what’s your favorite way to cook it? I’m deployed and coming home a few days before season opens, I can’t wait! Keep posting, my troops and I have spent many hours watching y’all and the HUSHIN Guys do what we wish we could be doing!

[@bornandraisedoutdoors]

The next video will cover some of that on meat care but we might have to expand on it further. Thanks for your service and good luck this Fall!

[@evanfresquez2274]

lotta good info

[@whk3834]

This is great stuff! Thanks guys!

[@paulhouston1865]

Thanks from an easterner headed out for Co for my third year in a row. Tagged a cow last year. Hoping for another elk for the freezer this year. This series is so awesome. Will put in an order for all new calls tomorrow. Hoping your caps run small......I have a little head hahahaha. No, that doesn't mean my brain is small. Hahahaha. Thank again guys. Great series! Helps me out alot.

[@kylemitchell1576]

Love the series!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Thanks for sharing another video in this series. I am definitely learning a few things. Sadly I financially and physically can't go this year, but I am hopeful that next fall I will be able to, perhaps in CO with my cousins, uncle, and brother.

[@shuswappawn1954]

Love all you stuff

[@rwhipple8515]

Can you touch on meat care for 4 to 6 days while going back in to hunt another bull, packing in coolers with ice inside a truck camper ok? Safe to leave outside truck locked or unlocked (theft), or find a locker in town and how common are they/who provides them?

[@hack.hunter84]

Great series!!

[@ericn1rv419]

Great info! Hoping to be able to get out west for next years elk season

[@markbaldwin2388]

Another great video. Thank you guys. I do miss hunting elk on the coast!

[@charlesmccubbins8104]

Great stuff guys!

[@richh1968]

I like this series of videos. Thank you!

[@kielerstubbs9846]

What does it mean when they say they bike? Like a literal bicycle?? Dirt bike? Hike?

[@kylestout4322]

Idea for a show from you guys-bow maintenance, bow care, in field fixes, what you guys have come across from tieing in peeps to fixing a serving. None of this matters if your bow cant perform when it matters. Just a thought...

[@JohnLowry]

With the torn sleeves/neck on a new hoodie, what are we calling Trent's new fashion style he is creating? Is it "Hobo Chic?" "Drifter Couture?"

[@JohnLowry]

Yes, I did have to look up how to spell "Chic" and "Couture." Love the videos, keep 'em coming.

[@justinbwelding7614]

John Lowry it’s a logger’s way of improvising for lack of TP in the woods

[@samuelulmer3869]

I love this series! Great videos guys!

[@alecbowler645]

Absolutely love this series! It is getting me so excited for September! Last season I didnt know the first thing about elk hunting but you guys inspired me to get out there and give it a try. I had a successful hunt but never filled my tag. I learned so much! What I want to keep doing, what I need to stop doing, and what to try next time. I have become extremely confident in my elk calling (much to the credit of the cat road shuffle kit). I'm confident in my shooting. My physical fitness could definitely use some work but I cant tag out if I'm not putting boots to the ground. Thank you for all you guys do! Keep up the amazing content. I very much look forward to the upcoming hunting season following you guys around the elk woods.

[@charlienewberry5956]

nice info guys.

[@s2outfitters148]

Good stuff guys!

[@terrystone6214]

great videos guys!! could you all talk a little about hunting solo? im in the east and its hard to get hunting buddies excited about hunting anything other than a deer!!

[@johnhamilton7495]

put me on a hunt with you men

[@russclarke99]

This is great guys!

[@benjaminlewiscpt]

Great info guys. Chalk another first elk trip this year up to you guys! This year is our groups first year

[@DIYWhitetail]

This will be my first year elk hunting. My biggest question is how to strategically “navigate the country”. Do y’all typically run ridge lines? Transitions? Just meander through dark timber? Hop from high point to high point? Etc...

[@matthewwatson787]

Hunted that road exclusively last year. Only saw cows... “don’t get married to a spot”: my biggest mistake last year.

[@brandenbowie9967]

I really like the fact you stood in the field giving the play by play of how you work the coastal country. Very helpful guys!

[@traviskerr6037]

Dig the series. Good work

[@Andy-rm9be]

Great tips gents, heading to Alberta this fall for an OTC elk so enjoy your videos.

[@bugleboysoutdoors1116]

Love the otc series guys, wish y’all would have shown some setup situations, you know in the woods in such!

[@CLeins-605]

This series is great! OTC is something that I have been looking into for awhile but just never jumped in. Thank you and great job!

[@casey197930]

Ever call or be called in by another hunter?

[@EllenJohn4]

Great series! Thanks, guys :-)

[@NojPho]

Quick question. So you show up to an area there’s rubs, foot prints, and scat everywhere, but just no sign of elk anywhere. How long do you hunt that area before calling it quits and going to plan B?

[@NorthMissouriOutdoors]

This has been awesome

[@nathanyounkin4421]

Going west this fall and this series is amazing! Just trying to be a sponge!

[@kylereedy5623]

Awesome series guys. You all put so much passion in everything you do. I love it! You all are trying your best for everyone watching to be successful. Thank you for being such good mentors for us. Watching this series is getting me fired up for this fall. I’ve got my first ever archery elk tag in my pocket and can’t wait to get after it. Good luck 🍀 to you all this fall.

[@jeffknudsen476]

Keep them coming guys LOVE all the info. It might not be something you can do but itwould be awesome ifyou could do a video on editing. How you chose the clips you put into a video. Also maybe some blooper videos om sure you have alot of good footage you could use. Again thank you for the videos im learning alot.

[@johnberry7375]

After you have an elk down how do you decide to deboned or quarter the animal up to pack it out?
