Montana Rifle Elk Hunting: Big Bull Down!

Fall and Winter mean lots of elk hunting back home. Follow along to watch three successful hunts I was able to film. Kenzie, Gabe, Brenda, Ryan, and Jon all harvested elk this year. Stellar year for the crew! Enjoy!

Glad you liked it! We try to show all the sides of our trips. Share if you think others would like it too! Thanks

Congratulations to everyone. Some very fine bulls taken in this video. Great hunt and amazing adventure. Well done.

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

We definitely had some success! Thanks for watching

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Great video my friends! You shot a very nice bull and the other ones are all trophies in my book! Great season!!

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

Definitely all were cool experiences. Gotta love guiding family members to elk. I’m so picky, so it’s nice to see someone harvest them when I won’t!

[@jimloomis3044]

Great bull! Thanks for sharing

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

Thanks, always like sharing!

Hate to be that guy but how does anyone shoot that bad? In my 30+ yrs. Of hunting big game Ive never in real life seen shots that bad.

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

😂😂 not a matter of bad shooting, actually! First 3 shots were a rifle that was apparently not sighted in! Next shot he held the same spot but with my sighted in rifle, last shot made it happen when he adjusted realizing my gun was not off. The last 3 shots were free hand, as he had to kneel up over sage. Definitely a tough go, but nobody’s perfect, John. He’s not a very experienced hunter, but next time will be different I can promise you that!

[@John-km7ld]

@@Beaverhead_Antlers well so theres the answer gun not sighted in ?? I completely understand that things sometimes don't go the way we hope, and if you hunted long enough the best preparation isnt even enough. But lessons learned from mistakes i have my own and blad you have it under control for the animals sake and ethics of. ✌️

[@fishhuntwyo]

Bro I hate to be this guy but I miss shots too. You should be encouraging the fact that he was showing the full thing. Most the videos you sit there and watch at home have this stuff edited out and it doesn't bring a realistic view of hunting. We need more positivity in this industry not pointing out the negativity.

[@John-km7ld]

@FishHuntWyo to a degree your correct, but I dont encourage something that seems apparent to me such as lack of practice. I mean damn these animals deserve at least that, we all miss and sometimes things just go wrong if you want to be mister positive more power to you. To that guy in the video learn to shoot your rifle.

[@fishhuntwyo]

@user-jx4st3zb2r I just think it's funny you think you don't miss because you "practice". You can't practice a hunting scenerio. It's called hunting, not killing. If your so worried about the animal and ethics then focus on being positive to the hunter and not worried about some dang animal that we eat for food. Plus it's their hunt. If you want to have a conversation about ethics then focus on ways to better yourself not try to correct the world in your eyes because it will never happen

[@777elkhunter]

Congrats on some great bulls.

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

Thank you!

[@drewpellandini7600]

I hope you find some moose paddles this winter. I love the shed hunting vids.

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

I hope so too! It’s almost time to start looking!

[@fishhuntwyo]

Nice work! 👊🏼

[@blackamericanoutdoorsmanll9179]

Them shots are wayyyyy off! 👀

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

Oh they definitely were

[@drewpellandini7600]

Solid bulls

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

New sub. Why dont you take it off the bone? I packed one time on the bone and decided I'd never do it again. Is grizzly country especially everything that is going to go out goes out in the first load because I'm not going back in. Had a few to many close calls with grizzlies

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

Easier to strap legs on than it is to strap bags of meat mainly. Definitely reduces the weight to bone it out, but it also takes more time, and I like to get moving ASAP

[@MrHf4l]

Hey what guns, cartridge, and bullet are you guys using out there for elk?

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

I am shooting a 145 grain copper bullet from Barnes Vortex. And I shoot a .270. I believe that is pretty similar for all of us. We also have a couple older 30-06 that we use.

[@MrHf4l]

@@Beaverhead_Antlers Barnes doesn’t make a 145gr bullet for 270.

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

@@MrHf4l must be the 130 grain then! My apologies!

[@MrHf4l]

@@Beaverhead_Antlers how many elk have you taken with it and at what distance? How has performance been?

[@Beaverhead_Antlers]

@@MrHf4l I have taken two of my last three bulls with it. One was around 75 yards and the other was about 150 yards. Performance has been great. We never shoot past 300-400 yards, so I can’t speak to how it would perform there
