HUNTING ELK and WOLVES DEEP in the BACKCOUNTRY | Idaho Elk Hunting

[@waynethompson3605]

Good stuff, very few can appreciate how hard packing an elk out of the mountains really is, till you’ve done it. Knees hurt till Christmas.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Very true! Think my knees still hurt from this one 😂

[@aaronwilcox6417]

It can be awful. Had some tough days decades ago in the St Joe, Clearwater, and Selway. Have to admit the sheer numbers of game made it easier to find them and more opportunities. Its tougher today as theres just a lot less animals.

[@johnstack4316]

We use horses because we're not stupid. You can pay someone $500 or less to pack out your elk with horses. We hunt 7 to 9 miles back in and wouldn't even consider doing it with my back. Very little money when you think about it.

[@bearfishing5817]

Another fun hunt to watch. The grind doesn't go unappreciated. Great job. Thanks fellas!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you, really appreciate it!

[@marksink1820]

Dude ... what a great experience! Congrats on you first Bull! ... congrats on both Bulls! 👊💪

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you, it was a sweet hunt!

[@SheepdogConservation]

Gonna have to start using the "If you haven't stood like this... I don't trust ya"... so glad I tuned in for the part 2 and you guys had so much success and shared the spoils of it with dad! That's what it's all about!

[@nickjohnson9620]

“You have to go where the elk are,but usually that’s where you don’t want to go.” This is a true statement. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@Dan-t9v6p]

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you, Jimmy is hilarious!

[@michaelthorsted6631]

That was your best series yet. Your entire video showed what a true back country is like. Thank you.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you! My goal is always to show the real hunt!

[@cappystrano1]

I’ve bowhunted elk since 1980, enjoy those hard hunts, they go away too soon. You guys are Badazz, crazy hard work!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you for watching! We are trying to get as many in while we can!

[@kylehurley5994]

You guys earned those bulls! Heavy packout. This gets me stoked for this season!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you, good luck this season!

[@matthewevans6442]

Peeping those Idaho City IHC hats. Going up is optional, coming down is mandatory. Much respect, Gents!

[@bryanseward3272]

Nothin short of incredible ! Wish I was between twenty and thirty,1st class all the way,rough it is never wrong got to go where the elk are ! Congrats on the elk ! Wow !

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@BenParks-e3i]

Great two part series! I hope your buddy didn't join the Three Toe club after that frostbite!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

😂🤣😂 he ended up alright, toes got black but a few months later it fell off and he was good!

[@BenParks-e3i]

@@AbandonOutdoors congrats on both your bulls!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@RandyRossi]

Congrats to you both excellent job making them memories are priceless

[@timothyhopper8804]

The thrill of the hunt ends when you've got to pack it out. I speak from experience. I'm 75 now and some of my best memories are of elk hunting in northwest Montana in conditions just like that 👍👍

[@benbaber3975]

Man what a sick couple videos thanks for the good stuff boys! I want a crack at some wolves so bad, I spend a lot of time out there and haven’t ran into them yet, maybe this year🤞🏻

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you, yea those wolves are tough to get close to!

[@travisvannoy9916]

Well done boys! what a fun hunt and camp.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you, it was a great time!

[@LiveTheChaseOutdoors]

Great work!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@marctrossbach6560]

That's when it happens...when you are relaxed and pressure is off . Congratulations buddy

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@opencountryhunter]

Great job guys! Harsh conditions but great memories!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you! Definitely one we won’t forget!

[@Del_licious]

Looks like you guys are the horses. Good job boys.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Sure felt tike it! Thank you!

[@patpacheco3296]

Well done boys!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@TamarackPackGoats]

very cool video gentlemen. Nothing more rewarding than backing a bull or two off the mountain. Only those who have packed that kind of weight for miles will understand the emotions of when you return to the truck. They come back to mind several months later over the dinner table.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

It really is something special! Nothing tastes better than an animal you take off the mountain!

[@brianrobbins3499]

You guys earned those bulls. Keep at it while your still young

[@AbandonOutdoors]

We’re trying to go as much as possible while we can!

[@RMM--uv7uk]

Awesome! Great job! "Gotta Go Where The Elk Are"

[@georgenguyen4567]

It’s so beautiful, thanks you guys.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you for watching!

[@andrewharbeston1917]

What is the click on Matt’s pack that is holding his rifle up called and where can I get one??😅

[@AbandonOutdoors]

It’s called a frankenstud sling keeper, pretty sure they have a website.

[@elkhntr4evr421]

Lmao, Jimmy is funny AF!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Haha! He is hilarious!

[@wesnicley9749]

What caliber rifle were you using?

[@AbandonOutdoors]

7 mm rem. Mag

[@richardstaton2248]

I would invite your dad to my camp just to hear him talk. That guy is hilarious.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Ol’ Jimmy is the man!

[@danmacstory]

This was a raw hunting video. This is what it’s about

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you! Always try to show the real story!

[@joeklempel8759]

[@AbandonOutdoors]

A 7mm rem. Mag

[@brianqually2212]

Goooo Jimmy! 😂

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Jimmy is the best!

[@grayrecluse7496]

Down here in Mississippi,some of us have deer meat that cost 150$ a pound. How the price of your elk meat compare?

[@dwaynelevandowski6003]

Who makes that little .22 rifle

[@AbandonOutdoors]

That’s the Chiappa firearms little badger.

[@mrbakerskatz]

Subbed and thumbed .🥃

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@ramos208]

How are the toes doing. Good thing he had a warm fire

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Toes are good, Matt had issues with them for a few months but eventually the dead skin fell off and he has been good ever since!

[@aaronreaka9024]

Yall bad mothers!!! Congratulations on a great hunt and adventure!!

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@zeldarobinson3382]

congrats to you both on nice bulls , what a packout , I hope your friends toes are okay , frost bite is no fun . great video , to bad you could not get youur bear , funny are you not allowed to shoot the wolves their ? each wolf kills over 200 elk a year , far more them hunters do .

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Thank you, we did try to kill the wolves but never got close enough!

[@marcjones6003]

Correction, each wolf kills around 20 ungulates a year.

[@bigcountry9457]

You are allowed to kill the wolves where they were hunting.

[@billysarabia5055]

This past deer season I had some folks shooting over me ,,, 5 shots … Bro it pissed me off like you wouldn’t believe,,, they knew I was there and still they shot … how do folks do something like this???

[@boromir51]

Spike bull is best eating, young kids !

[@danieldemko7966]

Awesome video what mtn range are you in?

[@MAGAMOFO]

I lived in Cour d'Alene for 2 years. I hunted up by Canada neat Bommers ferry and down by the St. Joe River......Wolves decimated the elk. I found wolf kills all over the place and wolves howling nighty. Kinda sucked and was disappointed. I hear the native American tribes brought the Timber wolves in for revenge on the white hunter. Makes sence

[@Hancock-r2v]

Like I've said people that hunt canines and felines are the loneliest form of hunters if you're not going to eat your kill don't kill it

[@TRKYHTR1]

It pays to rent horses or pay a guy to come in and pack it out. Elk hunting is not for the weary.

[@AbandonOutdoors]

Man we’d love to be able to afford them!

[@Hancock-r2v]

Just watch a video where this Hunter is claiming that all the bears in Wyoming are eating salmon guess what there's no salmon in Wyoming dude a lot of misinformation out here
