Opening Minute Bull! - Montana Elk | (Amazon Episode)

Randy Newberg is joined by Beau Baty of Wilderness Ridge Trail Llamas, and Lucas Burt of Leupold Optics for opening weekend of Montana's elk season. This is a general over-the-counter unit that anyone can go and hunt.
Using llamas to help pack up their gear, camp and water; they head deep into the public lands of Montana. After setting up camp, they are able to have a whole day to scout before the season opens. They are able to locate several different groups of elk, with high anticipation for the morning.
They split up for opening morning. Beau hears a bugle right away in the morning. They get well within shooting range and have to wait patiently for legal shooting light. As soon as the clock strikes, Beau pulls the trigger and ends his hunt 10 seconds into the season.
Lucas and Randy continue to hunt the rest of the week. The next day they are able to locate and bull and try to get an opportunity for Lucas. They've got 3 elk tags to fill and several days to do it.

Not sure if anyone noticed but looked like when he missed that bull he shot a cow elk right behind the bull! This guy needs to take more care when taking a shot and make sure there’s nothing standing behind the target! You watch the vapor trail and it sure looks like it can’t really close to shooting a cow instead of the bull!

[@sdf1990]

Bad shot that never should have been taken. There were cows behind that bull. Not worth wounding multiple. I too have lost good bulls to other public land hunters. Part of the game.

[@russsheridan5525]

Should of waited for the cows to move??

[@jamesanderson2598]

Personally, I wouldn't have taken the shot. Both cow and calf were in sight behind the bull. Some people will take that risk if shooing a bull means more to them than shooting an unintended animal. Sorry but an unethical shot taken.

Typical case of an inexperienced hunter, (Luca). DUDE re sitght your rifle wheb you get to the new location.. Elevation changes at those altitudes, barometrically.

[@tjmertz289]

We can all say with fair confidence that he hit that cow...

[@rosswagner9083]

Did that guy pass hunter safety? Him and Beau should know better! Not a safe shot!

[@rustyshackleford9017]

year later, still two horrible shots

[@AaronMccalla-dn5wo]

Looks to me like Luke hits a cow in the mouth when he misses that bull. Seems to me they should have looked for it.

I love the vids with Beau. Such a genuine, friendly man. My prayers are with him and his family.

[@ottototo8]

What I like about Randy is that he is just as happy for the other guy as he would be for himself.

[@wth6969-hs5mh]

I am going on my first ever elk hunt for this November in the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest. I cannot wait for this adventure!

[@lisamichellehoffman]

Randy you feel lucky to be there. And I feel lucky to enjoy your shows. They are a pleasure to watch.

[@scottadreon9484]

Beau's the best!

[@johncware66]

Awesome! Opening morning bull on public land. Doesn't get better than that. and Beau gets to cook and serve his elk the rest of the time in camp. Nice! Heartbreaker for Lucas. But at least he was out there.

[@williamolliges2622]

Been around horses for the last 20 years or so, and I'm pretty tuned in to their body language. Those damn lamas always seem like their laughing at me or have some sort of secret. They make me smile in some sort of inexplicable way.

[@Ps2352]

Randy your outlook on hunting and sharing time in God’s creation with good folks is very uplifting to this 70 yr old hunter. Thank you

[@jamarcusjayqwellen687]

I think this might be my favourite video from randy. Any video with Beau is just top notch

[@ianfrancisledesma4431]

Congrats to Beau for shooting that elk right at his dream spot and much respect to Lucas how he never gave up tracking his wounded elk over time and distance even though in the end another hunter took it...this is how it's done right.

[@me.marvinellis6689]

Randy you have a way of teaching without teaching, you have done fantastic things with your videos, with life lessons!
