I’m hoping to hunt Montana for first time in 2024 looking to get a elk deer combo license if I can get one with no points! Montana looks incredible to hunt

[@itslowerthanyouthink]

That was such a clean kill. Beauty of a buck.

[@kevgrot128]

I know exactly where your at haha. Not gonna say anything though! Great hunting in there. Love the channel. Much love from Helena!

[@MyEmily23]

That thing has some character I love how the eyeguards curve at the tops

[@acsidaho]

finally a video on youtube about hunting mountain whitetail! :) It changes a 'bit from season to season, but there's a good mix in the mountains I hunt here in Idaho. love the videos.

[@brandonc3785]

Me too

[@redhub1]

Great hunt, guys! Love watching your hunts. They give me hope to do my own hunts.

[@masskilla469]

Randy My Son got a nice 6x6 White tail in the Ponderosa Pines with his Brother about two years ago.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

A lot of people are looking for mule deer and fail to realize what good whitetail hunting is in the Ponderosa forests of the West. Thanks for watching.

[@losethealtitude7730]

I love watching your hunts man!

[@jessicamartin6054]

I watch this video at least twice a year! love it

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching...twice ;)

[@masskilla469]

Beautiful country!!

[@longgone9869]

Great hunt! Love to spot and stalk hunt

[@thomasparker8449]

heavy thick timber. come hunt northern NH and Maine. Great show!!

[@michaelkrein2212]

If eastern Montana is anything like Western South Dakota the week before Thanksgiving is when the whitetail rut starts to heat up. Was a bit later this year though.

[@wileysanders3709]

Wow thats a nice buck

[@Alex-gi7sm]

My dream of a lifetime to do such a hunt. Great. Thx

[@JohnRobinson_Oklahoma]

Now i want to hunt Montana. Thanks again "Professor Randy" PHD (Professional Hunting Dude)

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Come and do it. Lots of tags, long seasons, and lots of public lands.

[@JohnRobinson_Oklahoma]

Thanks for the reply. And Thanks for the inspiration to do it as a new hunter.

[@mulletman_nc3525]

which do you recommend more the vx3 or vx6 from leupold and what are the differences ? ( p.s. sorry for all the questions haha just looking for some good info)

[@choggish5549]

for a second i didnt know which guy was randy

[@davidprattdo]

Randy, maybe you could talk to Nissan about a sponsorship with one of their new Titans with the cummins diesel?? You won't have to haul around so many gas cans, or worry about repairs.

[@tnekkc]

Skip to 11:50 watch to 12:00 at 2X speed with the sound turned off.

[@jamesfisher1340]

Hint, if u want white tail hunt by the yellowstone river

[@clintnardoni]

Hey Randy, this episode of OYOA must be a few years old despite being posted in 2016. I noticed you are shooting a Savage rifle and you are wearing a Federal Premium hat. When did you make the transition to Howa rifles and Nosler ammo?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Started using Howa in 2010 and been shooting Nosler bullets for decades. Much of the Federal ammo I shot had Nosler bullets, such as AccuBonds and E-Tips. Officially started working with Nosler in 2014.

[@clintnardoni]

Thanks for the response. Today I'm at home on a sick day- watching your show and Meateater.

[@clintnardoni]

And I'm trying to decide between Nosler AccuBonds or Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Tip bullets.

[@jasonhacker7270]

That's a Remington not a savage

[@colinlossing2997]

what model leupold is your scope and are you satisfied with it?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+Colin lossing - I have both VX-3 and VX-6. Been using Leupold rifle scopes for 35 years. Couldn't be happier.

[@colinlossing2997]

+Randy Newberg, Hunter cool thanks for the feedback. I just want to make sure I spend my money wisely, and I know that your gear is put to the test, and if it can hold up to your adventures then it will hold up to mine for sure!

[@jacobjelen7796]

What sort of packs were you two using?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Mystery Ranch. Thanks for watching.

[@isaacwhitney8257]

Amazing Buck. Also Is this what the area around Missoula is like because I am gonna be a student around there.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I'm not sure. I've never hunted that part of Montana.

[@mckellaib261]

It's a little steeper country and alot of the white tails stay close to or on private land but there are some public land dandys

[@mulletman_nc3525]

what rifle are you using this hunt and the caliber as well

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I was using a .300 Win Mag.

[@mulletman_nc3525]

was it a model 70 ?

[@bernadetteobrien6925]

What kind of bipod do u use

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Harris bipod. 23" pivoting head. Thanks for watching.

[@laserdude3064]

most of western south dakota my ass. the hills are very small compared to even western south dakota

[@Rogue_wyo]

I think Nissan owes Randy either a new truck or a big check for all the hunting trips that rig has been reliable on!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Funny you say that. They just sent me a loaner truck to use/abuse and give them feedback. So far, very impressed.

[@Rogue_wyo]

Randy Newberg, Hunter that mean we get a new bag dump truck edition video?!?!

[@gflhater666]

How is it public land if there are fence lines?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Because there are allotment fences all over on public lands. Those fences separate the public land grazing allotments. And there are fences along the boundaries between public and private.

[@BurdonX]

Amazing. Thank you. From Canada, things are a bit different here. :)

[@mulletman_nc3525]

is that a Remington 700

[@trevorgomez3343]

Randy was using a Remington 700. I believe his buddy was shooting a model 70 Winchester.

randy I would like to invite you to come hunting otc here in colorado

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+Kendall Anthony - Thanks for the invite. I usually do an OTC hunt in CO each year. This year I will be burning my 19 elk points on a limited entry tag.

[@kendallanthony6230]

good luck if you want to go over the counter as well just tell me and thank you for talking with me I have had a hard week at school with other kids picking on me and you talking with me has made my week

[@MrScottyp636]

Hey Randy, let's go huntin', I live in pocatello, southeast idaho. I haven't seen any episodes about southeast idaho. I got my elk and my deer, 2 minutes apart, 10 yards from each other, with my bow, on opening day last year, surrounded by private land, by myself. let's do a hunt together?.?.?.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for the invite. We get hundreds of kind invitations each season, but we can never take advantage of those, given what our calendar looks like and how filming complicates all we do. Thanks again and good luck.

[@justinc8535]

If randy thinks that's a nice whitetail he needs to visit NC

[@Lnmperfhors]

11:56 looks a little dramatic

[@Huntnlady7]

[@tylerc2227]

People like you Randy have ruined the Custer National Forest with videos like this. Instead of maybe giving your direct location, maybe stick to just saying it's public land in Montana. It's ruined the hunting for us local people who use the forest for more than just hunting. It has decimated the population (deer and elk) and has made it almost impossible to find a mature buck. I'm all for hunting public land, but quit making it easy for everyone. Make them use their time and resources to find these locations themselves. It will take year beyond year to build what we had over here with a majority of mature bucks and a quality number of deer. Thanks for nothing. Concerned public land hunter in South Eastern Montana.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

That's some funny stuff. I had a limited entry deer tag elsewhere in MT this year, so I couldn't hunt the Custer, though a lot of friends did. They found plenty of mature deer, though fewer than last season due to a very hard winter of 2017-2018. Didn't know I was responsible for the tough winters that knock down deer numbers every 6-10 years, as it has predictably since I started hunting there 25 years ago. Ask any person who is familiar with the population cycles there and they will tell you it is weather more than anything; weather like was present last winter. As for telling people where to go, I don't give drainages or GPS coordinates. If you think the Custer and SE Montana is some newly found secret, you haven't followed hunting magazines for very long, Back in the 1990s a popular magazine from WY printed many articles about it, did some TV shows there, and recommended the area in their research service. Yet, now Randy Newberg is to blame for ruining Region 7, and area of over 14 million acres. I've not hunted elk there since 2009, so not sure how I ruined the elk hunting. You suppose the increased interest in elk hunting had something to do with a world record archery elk taken in 2016? Couldn't be. Given both archery and rifle are on a limited entry draw with bull tag numbers staying very similar for many years, not sure how I could have ruined the elk hunting under those limited tag conditions. If the increase in cow tags is the problem, you might want to take that up with FWP. Best of luck to you.

[@tylerc2227]

I understand that there will be tough winters, that's just nature taking it's course. I am very familiar with the population cycle and this was the worst I and MANY local people have ever seen it. You don't think the additional hunters, who are able to purchase 5 additional mule deer doe tags helps? I had a friend who drove by someones camp who had over 24 deer hanging in it. And they still had tags to fill. I'm not saying the Custer is some new found secret, but out of all the hunting shows I've watched people only say they're in Montana on public land, not giving directions. The elk hunting has been ruined by the additional hunters on the forest. All these additional hunters pushes all of the game to inaccessible private land. I live and know people all around this area who have been hunting the forest for 20 plus years saying this is the worst they've ever seen it. I'm really curious to who your friends are who have seen mature bucks, because not a single person I know saw anything. Thankfully most people around here will pass on smaller bucks giving them the chance to grow, but there wasn't any small bucks to pass up, because there isn't any deer. This is the first time I have never seen an elk down there. I have multiple people say the same. Hopefully our state decides to manage the issuing of tags better to help manage the population but right now, pointing an arrow to Custer national forest and saying there is successful hunting is not helping. I myself, thankfully hunt deer elsewhere. I find hunting the Custer national forest with 1000 other people a tad time consuming. Though I do enjoy your channel and like your approach with public land hunting. Just wish you didn't hold a sign up and tell everyone where to go. Thanks
