Just Add Elk | Colorado Public Land Bull Down on Day 5 of Backpacking Hunt

Join Jordan Blankenship, Hunter Zeigler, & Nico Gualdoni for a 5 day backpacking elk hunt in the Colorado Backcountry. The boys see it all come together after 3 years of hunting the same Colorado Public Land Basin with a bow. The trip was full of challenges including a 12 mile packout on the final day of the trip.

First one to guess the weight of Hunters pack heading down into camp wins the elk hat! Limit two guesses per person.

[@kurtlawson6995]

hell yes congrats

[@Recruitcreative]

Thanks!

[@michellejohnson8897]

Monster black bears!😂😂

[@Recruitcreative]

I told them it was a cow but nobody listened.

[@sapperROSS]

Lol at not packing game bags with you, bet you'll never leave them at camp again.

[@Recruitcreative]

Exactly! Lol

[@fielderenterprizes9672]

Was the hammer back on his pistol when he put it in his holster

[@Recruitcreative]

Yeah probably for a few moments. That’s what the safety is for

[@CraigFerrieri]

where did he hit the bull for him to go so far maybe just 1 lung

[@Recruitcreative]

Frontal shot. Hit pretty center but just enough left to only clip one lung

[@kodiakfisher]

What broadhead you using....looked like a field point??

[@Recruitcreative]

Rage Hypodermic!

[@shaynehall9172]

Never pass up a shot on day one you would take on the last day. At least that's what they say....

[@Recruitcreative]

It worked out for the better this time around for Jordan but if it was up to me I would’ve taken the shot! Especially after three empty seasons before.

[@shaynehall9172]

@@Recruitcreative tag soup is the worst! Congrats though, that's a really nice bull!

[@Recruitcreative]

@@shaynehall9172 thanks, hoping to do it again this year!

[@GrowinwithAJ]

was this otc ? what unit was this. im going this sept and cant find any info on trailheads or units. im not asking for anyones honey hole.

[@Recruitcreative]

@@GrowinwithAJ we have a video where Jordan discusses how to e-scount and choose units/trail heads. We use the methods shared to find this unit and particular area

[@GrowinwithAJ]

@@Recruitcreative and ive done that but without boots on the ground theres nothing more i can do. ive spent hours if not weeks scouting for this hunt im not asking for honey holes just personal knowledge and opinion. i do appreciate the reply and i do understand the message

[@Recruitcreative]

@GrowinwithAJ So most OTC units are now draw. I can tell you that this unit was a traditional OTC.

[@GrowinwithAJ]

@@Recruitcreative from what i see there many otc units am i missing something on toprut

[@devildog6107]

That pack is at least 120 lbs

[@Recruitcreative]

Good guess!

[@Recruitcreative]

Would you have shot this cow?

[@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors]

Tough call on that one, days left and early light, I probably would have but understand not doing it

[@Recruitcreative]

@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors We still argue over it but it worked out!

[@jacob11b]

110, 130

[@Recruitcreative]

Good guess!

[@dvcer11boo8]

Man that is no lie about cows charging you. Of course you don’t get it on video, you are running 4 ur life.

[@Recruitcreative]

Those cows are built different than the ones we have back home in the Midwest!

[@dvcer11boo8]

@@Recruitcreative I know a gal down by Durango that got squished pretty bad by a charging cow. Broken ribs, bruised up.

[@timothychance3757]

I can’t watch anymore guys. Sorry. Y’all just don’t have it together

[@Recruitcreative]

That’s your decision man! We are proud of our elk trips together and have been successful the past two seasons on bull elk. I’m not sure what qualifies as having it all together but anyone who has grinded the way we have on public land self-guided trips knows our videos shows the truth.
