HUGE Bull On PUBLIC LAND | Idaho Elk (EP. 2)

In episode 2 of this late season Idaho elk hunt, Michael Parente is still on the search for a mature bull elk. The last couple days he and Marcus Hockett has explored the vast unit, covering country and glassing but still hadn't laid eyes on a single elk.
They wake up early and decide to head back to the only spot where they have seen elk sign. The migration of elk in this unit is very weather dependent, and the season has been mild meaning a majority of the elk haven't been pushed down into the winter range yet. Upon arriving, it starts snowing which will allow them to look for tracks. On the way in, Michael cuts very fresh elk sign which makes him confident there is an elk in the direct area.
As Michael crests over the ridge he spots 3 bulls bedded down in the bottom of this steep rocky canyon. Without any idea of his presence, Michael is able to take his time and get set up prone for a shot. He has all the time in the world, if he can stay calm and make a good shot, he'll be headed back to Bozeman with hundreds of pounds of fresh elk meat.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Anyone else already planning hunts for this fall?

[@nickdorroh1258]

Planning for next year's hunt starts when this year's season ends. Every day is leg day. 😉👌 Thank you for sharing your adventures and knowledge with us!! 😁🤙🏹🦌

[@ElevatedTines]

Backcountry OTC Bighorn sheep, Mule deer and a moose hunt early season next year, hopefully fit a OTC mountian goat hunt in right after

[@chrisgreen359]

Yeah. Just trying not to have more tags then I can hunt. Like last year...

[@donniemaurer4077]

1st time archery elk hunt. I'm excited to say the least!

[@42N8_1]

This will be my daughters first year where she can apply for a hunt and my sons second season.

[@fortfly]

"the furthest away from any road in the unit..." That is a little jewel of knowledge for the fellows just starting out with elk hunting. Nice work M&M.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

That is what we promote in all our rifle hunts - sanctuaries are where you find late season bulls. The guys proved that once again.

[@gkmeador]

@@Fresh_Tracks Miss seeing you out there Randy. Thanks for all the education

[@ElkStirrinTheHoney]

Yeah.. I was going to say.. That's exactly where the Elk are.. Clear out in BFE..

[@VerticalStacker]

Great bull. Great country. We’ve been fortunate to kill nice bulls at the top of those canyons, lol. Still a lot of work, but so worth it! Congrats on a great hunt.

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

Marcus' camera work is the best. Absolutely top notch!! Great bull and way to work it out guys!!!!

[@thebadger4837]

You will never forget this hunt. And it will probably be your favorite. Struggle makes life worth living.

[@tomwagner7066]

To paraphrase my pilot dad --- "There are old hunters and there are bold hunters, but few old bold hunters." You two continue to inspire (and amuse) me! Hope this is a premonition of many cool hunts ahead for Randy and you guys in 2021 ...

[@jimjones3886]

You weren't all that far from a road when you took the shot. I'm from Idaho.

[@marcus8442]

Appreciate you guys showing the chaos of the shot setup and the grind of packing out the meat. 2 very profound moments in the hunting experience. Congrats guys

[@timrozewski9677]

M&M are growing on me....the honesty sells itself

[@glolito321]

Condolences to Marcus and his family. Awesome job on getting Big Hank. Thank you for letting us tag along.

[@TheTimmehtimmeh]

I was so incredibly happy for Micheal. Not only did he work hard he was humble. Marcus the stunning scenery shots the evening out of the hells canyon with the bull in Michael’s back are stunning.

[@justicefall1917]

Awesome hunt guys and thank you for taking us along! Sorry for your loss Marcus.

[@appetite4thewild994]

Thank you, I can not remember see to people have so much fun on a hunt that was not easy. It is what hunting is all about, making good times from the hard times. Congratulations Michael on a great bull and the hard yards you put in. Marcus , to do that after the passing of a grandfarther you are a Legend. I would not of been able to hold it all together. Hats off to you both from Queensland Australia.

[@Patrick-ol8ke]

True Sportsmanship. The effort put in was well worth the reward. Congratulations.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Much appreciated!

[@bjornholmquist5019]

This series was probably one of the best, most encapsulating, "beginning-to-end" hunts ever produced. It didn't take hours of viewing to understand the persistence, the friendship, the outdoors, the reward, the suck, and, again, the reward. Well done!

[@bretlawson924]

Kudos to Marcus for being an awesome second man, don't come any better than that fella! Attitude and grit both a rare find.

[@mneptune1]

Good on you guy’s for making a plan and seeing it through. This will be a hunt you will always remember....

[@run2september23]

Very awesome, what a pack out, love that country, nothing like notching an Idaho tag. Good job 👍

[@MrHf4l]

One of my favorite hunts you guys have shown! So jacked for you guys!

[@Snowridgeoutdoors]

This is probably one of my top favorite elk hunting videos. After he shot, I was laughing so hard, with what he was saying. All around a funny awesome video.

[@Desert_Muley]

Marcus my condolences. Congratulations to Michael. I enjoy watching both of you because of your attitude, aswell as Beau's. I know he wasn't physically at this hunt but his attitude has rub off on you guys. Congratulations again to the both of you. Well done.

[@robscrazywife]

Loved everything about this except for 1 thing...sorry for your loss, Marcus. Thanks for sharing.

[@justindeming3553]

What a great memory those tough pack outs are! You won’t forget it. I hunted late season and the wind and snow ,slick rocks are what makes real memories. You said it yourself that’s physically the toughest thing you ever done.

[@phillippledger8841]

Awesome job guys. Great hunt. Thanks for sharing with us. So sorry for your loss Marcus.

[@logandaforno4056]

I am sincerely sorry for Marcus’s loss but I’m sure this hunt gave him some happiness when going through a rough time.

[@nicholasgrzych1008]

When I lost a great friend I, like marcus, turned to the outdoors for healing. For some of us, it's the best way.

[@gabelaturner1679]

Great Bull Michael!!! You and Marcus make a good team. Nice of Randy to gift Marcus a wall tent.

[@joshphares4671]

Great bull, Michael! What a way to cap off the year. Thanks to all of you!

[@jtschwinghammer]

I love the added music when he was positioning himself to take the shot

[@Atlas531]

I was thinking the opposite. I thought one of the hallmarks of the Meateater and Newberg hunting vids was the absence of dramatic music - just keeping it simple and real. That's how I prefer it, but to each his own.

[@scbane]

@@Atlas531 Same here.

[@josephlindloff6305]

Great hunt and phenomenal filming, Marcus! Thanks for bringing this to us.

[@wgiles51]

It's good to see that your perseverance has paid off.

[@WildTines]

Loved it! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@bwanandhunter3946]

So sorry for your loss Marcus and congratulations to you Michael on an awesome bull.

[@SBWRHT]

One of my favourite episodes lately! The triumph of victory and the pack out. Great show 🤠

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad to heat that.

[@josephstephens3852]

Congratulations Michael and Marcus, y'all persevered and worked your butts off for that one.

[@wimtheeuwen7315]

In one word "magnificent" well done on filming, packing out, hunting and pisitivity.

[@jerrya2801]

Congrats Michael, Great Idaho bull. Condolences to you and your family Marcus. You are a big part of why I watch this channel, your sportsmanship, sense of humor and abilities with a camera are Outstanding! All around Best wildlife conservation channel out there, keep it up!

[@michaelnorton6828]

I'd rather spend 3 days getting one out, than 3 weeks looking for one...

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Amen!

[@dustinwalker1006]

Great job guys. Sorry to hear about your grandpas passing RIP. He was with you in spirit.

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

BEAST MODE fellas! Congrats Michael! Marcus killed it with the camera work. Such an epic spot! Love it! ✊🏼

[@SnaggedOnBottom]

Thanks Brian!

[@ericwiitala5407]

That bull is an absolute tank! Congrats! It just takes 1. Thanks for a great year guys. I really appreciate everything you did and all the content. 👍

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for all the support Eric.

[@scottjonesfamily1440]

Great job Michael and Marcus! You guys are the real deal.

[@williammcclelland6789]

Congratulations! I was hurting just watching you. A true trophy hard earned and well deserved. Truly sorry to hear of your grandfather Marcus. Grandpas are special. You and your family will be in my prayers.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you so much!

[@derekmatheus3178]

another epic episode and series I just wish I could have seen Randy’s reaction to this great bull!!!

[@davidgzik3080]

Idaho is full of hell holes but that is usually where you find them.Perfect elk hunting weather .Have never taken an elk when it's all balmy and pleasant..... Good job M&M and sorry about your family's loss Marcus.

[@dantyack177]

Awesome hunt guys! Glad you finally connected! The tough hunts make for awesome memories and great stories! ....the easy one's are easier to forget.. I'm thinking your gonna remember this one for a long time..

[@Fresh_Tracks]

You got that right!

[@hearstdaman2269]

Michael, you are getting it done this year! Congrats!

[@MuleyMitch]

Michael is seriously so funny and entertaining. I love how candid he is. Can’t wait to see more from him and Marcus

[@jonconklin6761]

I don’t know who had more blood on themselves that bull or Michael! Congrats on a stud bull man!

[@nmhunter3858]

I love it!! Thanks for sharing your hunt!

[@jasonstefanuk3579]

Sorry for your loss, Marcus. What a fantastic video. M&M now means a lot more than candy.

[@steviegallegos9470]

Great hunt and bull - congrats! And you have to love that nugget of wisdom from Beau - how true!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Absolutely!

[@dohiii]

That was awesome. Congrats Michael. Way to stick with it. My condolences to you Markus. You guys probably have one if the greatest jobs. I envy your work. Keep it up.

[@teammosin9999]

Yunno, that was totally awesome! You guys see no freakin' elk for days, the weather sucks. You walk out on to the dang moon and find 3 tracks and you track them down and kill the biggest bull, who just happens to be a 7x6 donk, in his bed!! Really, really impressive! And who even knew that Jack Black liked to hunt? What a surprise!! Mega Congratulations!!

[@jeffmeyer2816]

Congratulations Michael!! Great bull. Your taxidermist is going to love you. Sorry for your loss Marcus.

[@patrickhollister7068]

Thank you so much for your content on this hunt and all of the others this season and past. What a hump to get that bull out. Way to pull a needle out of a haystack. I hope that you have no regrets on not getting the cape. The work truely started when you pulled the trigger.....the second time. Been there done that, the second trigger pull that is!!!!

[@mikeconley2515]

Very nice bull. Again, another video showing the rewards of the hard work you guys put in to your hunts. Fantastic job guys!

[@johnsonaification]

15:55 Badass scene! Congrats on a great Idaho bull! Great editing too, as always.

[@takurghar1621]

That hunt ended pretty well. Just show that sticking with it pays off sometimes. Congratulations on your bull.

[@iddddaduncan]

Wow, great hunt! Marcus is a great friend.

[@corkforbrains]

How Classic! You guys actually GOT Big Hank!! Righteous Video!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@PaulBrown1963]

Epic hunt and a great bull guys. Congrats on the bull and condolences for your Grandad Marcus.

[@dirtclodaz.1161]

Good episode guys, great bull Michael! Congratulations on surviving a brutal pack out.

[@DocJillBeans]

Beautiful epic canyon for carcass breakdown and pack out. Thanks guys!

[@joshtaylor6748]

Hell yeah!! I woke up this morning and thought I hope Michael gets his bull.... Blood Bath Parente strikes again.

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Looked like he rolled in the gut pile. Have always heard about that but he may have actually done it! Haha

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Their wrasslin' names are Michael "The Hammer" Parente and Marcus "Scrap Iron" Hockett. Applicable in this video.

[@1shotbarbeque881]

The M&M SHOW that was beast ! Love it thanks for sharing. 🇺🇲 merica

[@okydok7895]

Amazing video!! You guys are tough, passionate and dedicated!! Thank you and congratulations!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks so much!!

[@rogerguild9167]

What a fantastic hunt. Thank you for sharing it with us. I truly enjoyed and appreciated all your hard work. You were rewarded for your determination and it looked like it tasted so good. I could almost smell it. Thanks again.

[@jakef1977]

Awesome job guys! What a cool bull in a cool location. The hardest pack outs are always the best stories. And the ones you'll always remember. Thanks for taking us along 👍

[@Fresh_Tracks]

We agree!

[@sethmurphy7656]

Awesome job guys. Michael, great shot at a difficult angle, and killer footage, (as always) Marcus.

[@jonathonpalmer7241]

Amazing bull. Well worth the hard work getting him out. By the time you are those tenderloins you'd have forgotten the drag up that canyon. Keep the videos coming. My deepest condolences to Markus and his family of the passing of his grandfather... He's was watching over you guys, that's for sure... One day I will get over from the UK and hunt public lands for elk... 🤞

[@staceyfranklin5704]

Awesome hunt. Those hard packs make for way better story’s and memory’s.

[@zaneshaeffer]

Marcus...you know Beau Baty wouldn’t say “you won’t remember this next year” he’d be saying ”get your self some llamas you fools”

[@Fresh_Tracks]

That would be his second sentence 🤣

[@patrickr4628]

Great hunt ( as always)!!! I admire the authenticity of this crew. Easy to connect with real people. Nice to see ethical hunts with respect given to the land and creatures that roam it. Archery elk hunt planned for the end of September in BC, Canada . I cannot wait!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Go get 'em.

[@stahlie3498]

Well done! That unit is getting harder and harder!

[@Tom-fu4cv]

My goodness what a hunt. And OMG beautiful country!!

[@huronnationalforest7988]

Congratulations couldn’t ask for a better hunt on KZbin!!! To Marcus and his family our deepest and sincere condolences for there loss!! God bless

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you. And thank you!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Great job fellas....hard work and perseverance pay off! Congrats on a heck of a bull Micheal. That looked like a hell pack out from that canyon...just remember pain is temporary and memories last forever. Public land DIY is the ONLY way to go!!!

[@nategaris3457]

I really enjoyed these two episodes. Great hunt and great effort. On a side note I'd like to say that Marcus has come a long way on his photography. I think Randy is fortunate to have you two on his team. Great job guys.👍

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Well said!

[@twistedtwitt]

This was very nice, thank you! I am late to the game, but am so motivated to do this. The first time I tried elk was in 1989 and I still remember the taste and smells of that wonderful steak. Thankfully someone was willing to share with me and got me hooked. The time between was lost for various reasons unfortunately. Your video keeps me moving forward to getting my first tag/outfitter and getting out there.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Go for it!

[@r1udp9]

Randy Newberg, Hunter is the best outdoor show to be found. Marcus is extremely talented "camera man" and video production is the best. Your entire crew is the best. This episode with Michael Parente was absolutely awesome. Determination and grit on another successful hunt. Thank you very much.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching and all the support.
