If anyone were to get into hunting with little to no experience, you are the man I'd recommend to teach. Xander should be very grateful.

Fantastic hunt! Love the long range spot, long sneak and stalk. Xander did an awesome job capturing the sights and sounds. I felt like we were right there with ya. Hats off to Clay for wanting to get close. I like the hunt part way more than equipment for extended range shooting. Well done, guys!

What a great team the two of you make! I was shivering setting here just watching. A lot of miles walked in a very difficult environment stalking, moving slow, removing and adding clothing to regulate your body temperature the whole time just trying to get in position for that one shot! Wow I want to experience that. I can’t wait for the next video! Thanks Clay and Xander!

Hey Reddirt, you just gotta' jump in. Apply for tags and go do it. Try to put a team together of like minded. Start by calling Colorado, Nevada, NEw Mexico and ARizona Game Commissions. Start researching now. In a few weeks Arizona starts accepting applications. Then NM, later Nevada and Colorado. You can buy over the counter in Colorado. Do all the homework you can. Yes, after you get your equipment , it still takes a two too three thousand dollars for tags and food and gas to do it yourself from red dirt country. All the states I mentioned are for long term tags. I derw a Nevada Bull after 17 years. But I have hunted elk every year since 1978. Mostly Colorado. Use Colorado as your training ground. When you get a tag like Arizona , NM or Nevada think about hiring help, they can make the difference. Some of the west is so huge it is hard to go it alone. I made a couple hunts on my own successfull without hiring help. But when you got a great rare tag you better think abut it. You hear storys like a guy in Nevada driving 75 miles on a flat tire to get too help. Take a couple spares where ever you go, especially Nevada. In the beginning try to start on cow elk tags, learn to elk hunt.

The first white tail I watched him get and we were still hunting. It was awesome I’m hoping I get one before the seasons over.

Great job Clay , brought back a lot of memories of hunts over the last 40 years. Think I might break out the old smoke pole in October. I used to do the late hunts every year but I’ve gotten to where I like October a little better. Don’t get around in the deep snow as good as I used to. But I’ve done my share of hunts like that one. Good job getting up on that herd.

Clay, did you have to discuss the mice? I’m trying to convince the mrs that she can enjoy cold weather camping! 😀. And Xander, I’m so glad you’re getting into the hunting thing. So many bushcrafty channels are too afraid to go down that road, or just against something that is so natural. I enjoy your videos, with your honesty, humility, eagerness to learn, and humour. This adds a whole new, albeit seasonal angle to your videos……though I’m highly jealous you get to hunt with clay. 🙂

I just happened across this. I hunt flintlock myself so very wicked. And I love your gun. I’m hoping to upgrade this year to a Kentucky 50 cal. I’ve always heard and seen video of these alpine elk herds, but one only seen timber elk (due to where I live and hunt), so this is amazing. Hopefully one day I’ll do some mountain elk hunting. Great stuff 👍

You can use some beeswax to seal your PAN to help keep moisture out and powder dry. In fact, if you carefully file to smooth the edges and use the wax, you can get to a point where a well tuned flash pan can be submerged in water and keep the powder dry.

Clay, that looks like my style of camping, makes me smile seeing people pitching camp who actually know what they’re doing, just getting it done. Years ago we’d get to a campsite and by the time the tent was fully pitched my girlfriend, later wife would have a cup of tea ready and have pumped up the airbed, and have water for food on the boil, all in the tent, under cover.

Isn’t it something that as your hunting years progress, some of the most exciting days you have and top rated are by the cool things you see and unique experience’s you have. I’ve found that I seem to get the most from the very late season days, when most sensible hunters have long retreated and you don’t see another hunter. Big game is usually more wary, but are returning to more normal patters. Some really nice camera footage.

I bought a 50 cal Pennsylvania long rifle, thinking it was a reproduction, only for it to arrive and find out it was an original John Guest Lancaster rifle made in the early 1800s, who contracted with Thomas Jefferson. So, I'm definitely not going to take that out in the elements and risk it, so I ended up getting a poor boy, southern mountain long rifle .54 cal to take on my next Elk hunt. Seems perfect, not fancy, and yet if it gets beat around while hunting, i'm not going to cry if something happens to it like I would with an original.

In so many of these hunting vids, people feel the need to put in so much unnecessary dramatic background music. It genuinely ruins the video for me sometimes. Your actions, dialogue, and the hunt are interesting enough! Thanks for all this awesome content 👏 You too, Xander!
