MONTANA BULL With A Bow! (My First Elk Ever)

[@JohnnyChimpo907]

Recently got into archery. I live alone in interior Alaska, and always wanted to become a hunter but mental health issues have kept me fearing ever having a gun around me. A few weeks ago I finally decided to go into my local bow shop and had them set me up with a bow, a release and some arrows, and a couple accessories for my bow (sight, rest, and quiver). Bought myself a foam target and started shooting in my yard. First at 10 feet, then 10 yard, then 20, now 40 (running out of space now)… and I AM ADDICTED!!! Shooting hundreds of arrows a day since I got my bow, improving with every repetition, and loving every moment. Shooting my bow brings a calmness about me that I haven’t felt in many years. Looking forward to my first hunt next Fall. 🙂 Awesome video of your hunt!! Cheers 🍻 from Chatanika, AK.

nice job have u killed somtehing

I'm in the same boat my friend. this is so healing!

[@tituscasner2445]

Man, Chris works so hard and deserves stuff like this - what a freaking bull.

[@doyleswearingen6262]

Cruising through elk videos and came upon yours; #1. Congratulations young man! #2. I believe you already know this, but you are a blessed young man to have a friend who is willing to take a complete elk hunting rookie out and educate him. Then take him into one of his "honey holes"! Way to go!!

[@nickmclimans8527]

Absolutely Montana hunters keep they're stomping grounds close to the chest! Just moved to Montana and would love to know where this is - Saw some herd bulls this year but they were in elk beyond anything you could imagine!👍

[@jimmyc938]

Man is it tough learning completely by yourself. Absolutely nobody to help me except podcasts and youtube. If I somehow make it happen this season... I think it will be one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.

[@craigwilliams5342]

Chris that is an incredible bull. So happy for you. As someone who just shot his first buck this year I can understand all the crazy emotions. So awesome. Love the channel. I shot a bow for the first time 2 years ago and now can’t imagine life with it. You’re a great help to us newbies trying to put this all together. Congratulations and God bless. 👍

[@augustbortz6104]

As someone who bought a bow back in January. Trying to spot and stalk mule deer has proven extremely challenging. Never feel like I’m able to get in range with a good shot opportunity. So I feel this. Ha

[@Sirgrantasaurus]

That feeling is irreplaceable, I got the chills sitting on the couch watching congrats dude! Love to see the hard work come full circle for you.

[@bloodlines9610]

I almost passed out when he threw the bow lol

[@HuntingCreatures]

Mathews Inc. gives Chris Bee a new bow every year to test and provide feedback, before it even is released to the public. So now you know, this dude is a master and have some good backups.

[@george-0197]

Glad to see people putting time in to practice their bow and make proper shots. That was sick

[@clarkhoward420]

So stoked you had an experienced guy calling & helping out, makes the world of a difference for an elk hunter. Up in Idaho there’s no way I could find a clear 80 yard shot, had a MEGA bull at 17 yards this year and still didn’t have a shot it’s so thick. Congrats man, elk hunting is a whole other level.

[@Screamfreak]

My dad here in idaho missed a bull cuz of a little stick he didn’t see so we know your pain 😂

This is the most Authentic video and expression I’ve ever seen… Chris was is freaking shock when he walked up to the bull… I love how true this video is… I’m happy for ya dude, I want that feeling one day, either on a big deer or a archery bull elk… congratulations Chris.

Bahahaha my comment was based off a figure of speech, no it might not actually be the “most authentic video of expression I’ve ever seen” in the most literal sense… but if you can not tell that this man is truly in shock and aww and overjoyed with his outstanding accomplishment, then your blind…. I was giving credit to the creator and videographer for capturing that…. Grow up and stop coming to KZbin and attempt to bash people because your jealous of other who do things that you can not do because your to lazy to put in the work.

@@RobertWilliams82-22 Amen brother, some guys just don't get it. They want that instant gratification with everything, they don't realize in reality the 3-4 days stalking and learning is building up that anticipation..and then you get one shot to manifest your goal. This next generation has zero drive or understanding of perseverance

[@loganmonzyk6869]

Incredible videography, incredible editing, incredible bull! Hard to think of anymore more deserving to shoot such a mega giant; congrats Chris!

[@egkingcobra740]

I’ve watched this video numerous times and it never fails to get my emotions going! It’s crazy seeing a beautiful shot like that and knowing you’ve got meat in the freezer without a doubt in your mind. I absolutely love to see it and will no matter how old this video is. Amazing stuff out there!

[@keithlambert6217]

The camera work and videography of this hunt is amazing.

[@Troppsoutdoorliving]

I can say this is my absolute favorite channel watching your emotions with every hunt shows the world what a true outdoors man is! You arent just killing and after the rack! You are humble and real even with a doe! Im a firm believer if that thrill ever stops its time to hang up the bow and be done! You sir are a class act amazing hunter! Thank you for the videos and btw camera and editing is fire as well!

[@cadestrickland2996]

It’s hard not to love this sport when you see reactions like this. Chills just from watching the video. I can’t imagine how you felt brother!

[@HiHi-wd4sl]

Chris I love your reactions to killing massive game. They are pretty unique from other hunters I see and I think you convey your excitement very well right after the shot!

[@ChasingBugles91]

Congrats Chris !!! That emotion was raw and the best feeling in the world !! We’re blessed to be able to hunt these beasts and experience the hunt in so many dif ways

[@Kayakphotography]

Not sure if anyone deserves this more than, Chris. It’s great to see how appreciative he is of this bull, also.

[@christiantorres6118]

Congratulations! I went on my first rifle deer hunt ever last week. I enjoyed it so much that I'm picking up my first compound bow today. Im really excited about learning how to shoot a bow so I can hunt with it next year.

[@chadskinner5456]

This was one of the best elk hunt videos I’ve ever watched. I was getting giddy with y’all haha congrats Chris! Hell of a bull

[@steveburke3]

SO good, what a great video, so authentic and real. I loved every minute of it and that big old bull was the icing on the cake! Congrats Chris!

[@TheMrGuedx]

Congrats Chris and Congrats Coburn. Chris thats a true friend right next to you. keep up with a solid good work

[@anthonyu3300]

Congrats Chris! Love the raw emotion after the shot. Thats one of the many things I love about bowhunting. Thanks for sharing it with us!👍

[@HoldunReed]

DUDE!!! What an incredible shot on an incredible bull. Congratulations! I keep rewatching that shot... would love to see that in slow-mo.

[@Texasfinestbobby]

I haven't had a compound bow in years... you sir have set a fire in me to get back in to bow hunting and competition shooting... and bring my young son in to the sport... thank you and God bless

[@zi42008]

This year wasnt my first time hunting elk but it was my first time archery hunting in general. It was a really awesome experience. Being out hearing and experiencing elk hunting like that is amazing. Grats on an amazing bull.

[@asesinodezombis2077]

Congratulations bro. Fitness, Training & Practice paid off. 80 yard heart shot. Bravo.

[@trib22]

83 yards with a partial (?) pass through is a wild shot. The work you put in to get to this shows. Well done.

[@iancarmody8526]

Great video! Please don’t ever lose the love and passion for hunting. Your raw emotions make this video. Thanks for sharing.

Chris congrats so big on an absolute toad of a bull !!!!!! Episodes like this one and your KS whitetail last season are the reasons why you're my favorite KZbin channel!!!!!!

[@Elkslaya1]

Awesome! I’ve drove past those mountains. I didn’t think about hunting it. I will think about it now though!

[@cozycare1655]

Amazing shot and monster of a bull. Grats on your first ever Elk. This pumps me up for my first hunt coming up. Nothing of that caliber but I’m preparing for the adrenaline when I see an animal cross my path.

[@naturallyaspirated78]

So happy you finally came to our great state! Glad you enjoyed it and got to experience my favorite time of every year!

Incredible! Started watching your bow builds a few weeks ago and can't get enough of your hunting videos. Always Love your reaction after your arrow makes contact. Keep it up man you seriously make some of the best hunting content. Cheers!

Chris. Recently become a huge fan of yours. I’m purchasing my first bow next week and super excited to get into it. I watch your videos all the time and seeing your expression when you shot that bull made me smile ear to ear. Love it for you man. That was amazing 💪🏽

[@Johnbobon]

Never ever ever ever start hollering as an elk is fleeing after a shot. No matter how sure you are of your hit, it's senseless to alert the animal any more than absolutely necessary. Glad this one worked out. Awesome bull!

At 4:33 homeboy let out a nasty bugle 👏

[@ethannnewport6457]

Welcome to reel hunting Chris. Baptized into the addiction we call elk hunting out west. Great bull sir.

[@islandpainter3964]

80yds, on his knees. Im impressed. To pull that off with all the adrenaline etc is no mean feat. Chris is also a relatively short draw archer so perfect shot placement was needed. Dude all those ends at 100yd paid off right there. Congratulations..

[@jonathan_guerrero]

What stabilizers are you running and what size are they? I know what works for you may not work for me and vice versa but I'm new to archery hunting and I'm tinkering with my bow to see what feels good for me. Just curious on the sizes of yours though and if you can share the weight you are running on each. Thanks I've learned a lot from you!

[@paradisevalleyoutdoors7328]

"IS HE DEAD??" LOL, Chris, I think he was dead buddy, congrats! The things we say when jacked up! My first (hunt) encounter ever with an elk was in 2005 and my cousin took me, the first night we got a giant coming in just screaming and my cousin says "he's coming, go up 75 yards and get ready".... Me sounding very stupid says "then what do I do?".... My Cousin laughing says "well shoot the damn thing"!!!! It took us a few more years but we were together when I shot my first bull and it was a 340" giant! What an awesome bull, experience, and video! Congrats!!!!

[@coltonstrickland1702]

Congrats Chris! Always a dream of mine to hunt elk.(specifically in Montana) bout to get my first good bow in about a week, gonna do some 3D at the local shop here in MO and get out to the woods before deer season ends!
