New Mexico Archery Elk - HEY BULL

[@jacobpenn4617]

Good job guys! You hunted hard and learned alot from that experience. Thanks for sharing!

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

Thank you! We definitely learned a lot last season. Looking forward to what we draw for this year!

[@jamesbarnes7689]

Good video. Unfortunately, animals are sometimes lost hunting. Stay positive it'll come together on a future hunt.

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

Thank you for the feedback. That can be the reality of archery hunting sometimes! We’re looking forward to a better year this upcoming season!

[@ariannaswinson885]

Dang! What an adrenaline rush that probably was!

[@dvskane1808]

That’s why they call it hunting and not killing. Sometimes it’s tag soup.

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

Sometimes we don’t fill tags. It’s all about the experience and memories. We learn and wait to draw again the next year! Thank you for watching!

The Gila is a special place. Nice hunt. Just an FYI- You have the shoulder straps hooked to the wrong point on your Kuiu pack setup. They should be clipped to the bag for normal use. You have them clipped to the straps you use when in load sling mode.

Thank you for letting us know!

[@jhughes892]

What was your arrow setup?

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

Easton Axis 340 Slick Trick Viper Trick 3 Fletch Nockturnal Arrows flew great, had good speed, and were setup nicely. Nick took the chance on a slight frontal shot and ended up hugging the shoulder a little too much!

[@jhughes892]

Decent setup. What about weight? I'm a big believer in Ashby, because I've been in your same shoes. You guys draw this year?

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

Arrow weight in total is 430 grains. Ashby broadheads are tried and true. Nick decided to stick with the Slick Trick Vipertrick broadheads due to the fact that our other team member had a double lung full pass through on an elk in 2020. Those larger and solid broadheads do perform well on bones though! We drew a few tags, in total we have 8 tags across the team. Including family and friends, we have about 15 tags we will be covering this year! How did you do in the draw?

So first elk hunting video with no elk on it??

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

Stay tuned for the upcoming content. 2021 was our intro year. We have two elk videos coming out soon with all the animal content you can dream of 👍

[@toreyyoung1518]

too much self confession , documentation.

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

Thank you for the feedback! We greatly appreciate it! 👍

[@editundo]

You can't shoot a 3x3 where your at??

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

It’s completely legal to shoot a cow or any size bull on these archery hunts. However, we try to go for more mature bulls! Not really trophy hunting for record elk, but aiming to harvest bulls above 300 inches!

[@editundo]

@@gilamonsteroutdoors That's a choice but remember when the meats not in the freezer you go hungry. All though, if the freezer is full of meat then the choice is all yours. Keep up the hunting! Don't let content consume your life.

[@gilamonsteroutdoors]

We greatly appreciate your feedback! The freezer is definitely full, but the wall is not. Smaller bulls like this are not really what we’d like to harvest, but we would gladly harvest a cow elk if we have to! It’s nice seeing those smaller bulls mature as you keep hunting. Thanks for watching and commenting!
