Long Range Pursuit | S10 E13 Mike's California Slam

Gunwerks Gunners Aaron and Mike Davidson travel to California to take a crack at Tule Elk and Blacktail deer. See how the "No Lead" state treats these long range hunters who have no experience judging the trophy quality on these two species.

It’s nice to see Barnes ammo being used at longer ranges. I am using the new LRX 160gr in my 7PRC and it is performing great.

[@joelblackburn7177]

What velocity are you getting?

[@danjuteau7368]

@ 2992 fps out of a 22” Gunwerks barrel.

[@ericdomke7295]

Welcome to Ca....... the challenge is public land here....

[@DirtyCombos]

That elk shot was wicked! I probably missed it. But what cartridge/projectile y’all running?!? Congratulations to Mike!

[@OutdoorBoys.308]

Why don't you use Revic rangefinder binoculars?? Was thinking of purchasing, but now I question it 🤔

[@BradLouallen]

Awesome video as usual, really enjoy your videos. What cartridge was this rifle built in?

[@johnsonjohnson379]

$$$$$ nice animals.

[@tomsmith476]

I was thinking the same thing sure didn't draw this tag and those private land tags aren't cheap

[@Longshot916]

I know the area it's by clear lake i would say 10k -20k for that land owner tag .. hi fence not hunting it's a deal whete you got the money you can hunt

[@FrankFratto-g2l]

Where were you hunting?

[@illyanaholland2428]

looks like eden valley country between willits anb covelo mendocino county

[@TucosChild]

"Real Hunting" = no Gucci Gun and 200 yards or less. Try that 🤔.

[@vulfranoperez5115]

Must be nice to draw an elk tag. Been applying for decades as resident and nothing. Do it on public with no guide like the residents. This is not fair chase it's called pay to play.

[@abemagana2182]

Those aren’t mutually exclusive. If you can’t draw a tag, be happy that private land hunting keeps the elk around

[@vulfranoperez5115]

Private lands aren't keeping the elk around. They are destroying them look at what's happening on the sonoma coast in Inverness. They wanted to protect them so bad that now. They're diseased and dying from inbreeding. Not able to migrate. If they wanted to be true stewards of the land and animals and not for personal gain they would do it like the Frank Church. Let the animals migrate to the islands and the valley to procreate and strengthen herds so that all the stewards of the state may enjoy them. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe CA is the only state with tule elk. Ca is the hardest state for a resident to get a tag. Not including the big 3 sheep, goat, and moose. As a resident hunter for decades in this state you won't convince it's not about the money. But I do appreciate the conversation.

[@Longshot916]

I was looking at 1200 acer around clear lake it was 1.2 million came with 3vland owner tag per year
