Wow, scammers bot is at it already. Everyone’s received a reply text saying saying they are on the short list for a prize

[@patweidmann6804]

I hate those damn scammers.

[@Elk101]

I’ve blocked at least 30 troll accounts today. It’s been wild. These scammers are horrible.

[@stevesnodg]

Yeah, I was pretty excited to see the prizes I won until they told me I had to pay $130 and up for shipping. I knew it was too good to be true.

[@kellyharding7797]

@@stevesnodg Yeah, me too! they even sent me a picture of the bow! They got downright rude when I asked them to call me! I hate scammers!

Getting better every season. Last year watched almost every episode with our one year old daughter and she developed a scream like an elk. Made my wife furious at times. She’s 3 weeks from turning 2 and I yelled from living room “hey daddy has a new show to watch tonight “ and as my wife’s doing dishes her immediate response was “ let me guess elk101”. Looking forward to another great season

[@mrspacebear6072]

This gets me excited for September already.

[@ryansours3756]

These videos coming out is like Christmas morning all over again!!! You guys do an amazing job putting these videos together, amazing content!!! Keep ‘em coming!

[@shawneckenrode7620]

Love these guys. No doubt watching these guys helped me bag my 300” elk this past season public ground. And bought the peax headlamp which was awesome all week never changed batteries. Thanks guys

[@killahboutdooradventures]

As an avid and successful elk hunter, this is my favorite elk hunting show. Real life scenarios. Dudes who get up and grind like elk hunters!!

[@chelancameron9860]

So excited for V5! We are all missing the elks woods this time of year and you guys help the time go by and get us excited for another season! You guys also have the best sponsors! Can’t wait to see what this season brings!

[@leehyer8774]

I couldn’t get off work soon enough to watch the premiere! This show is so exciting and educational! Thank all you guys for sharing your knowledge!

[@jr.streifel557]

It’s great to have the West Coast in a series. We show the difficulty of hunting Roosevelts, really appreciate it.

[@amheiner]

This is my busiest time of year at work and watching Destination Elk is what gets me through. Thanks guys!

[@SAMCOM57]

You guys don't disappoint.. Can't believe it's been 5 years already!

Definitely!

[@christopherrussell4908]

And then it went away for days. Looks like it was the Super Secret Sneak Peak!!!

[@allthingswhitetail]

The patience of sitting and waiting for the wind to be right is something I have to develop for my trip next Sept. Learning so much!

[@jamesd5014]

Love the episode! Corey's creepy night vision eyes on the opening day are the thing nightmares are made of.😁

[@ghaugsness]

This makes me long for elk season every year! Great to see you guys listening to the feedback and can't wait to see all of the great footage!

Are Donnie and Corey brothers? 😂

[@jy5x5e]

I really appreciate the way you hunt. Can’t wait to see you pull the bull out of the lake. We had same 1st this year, had to pull my buddies bull out of a swampy pond.

Can’t get enough of Elk101. I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Thank you

[@mattharkness6697]

Definitely my favorite elk hunting show to watch. I like the fact you show the failures along with the successes. Things we all experience while hunting. Great job again!

[@cuzwhynot_adventures5421]

Opening mornings with some bugling is always a good start to a hunt.

[@ricksmith2134]

Well I’d love to say “looking forward to the series” but since it’s over and I just noticed I didn’t leave a comment yet I’ll just say “for anyone who hasn’t seen this series yet, it’s worth your time”.😊

[@markharbicht2765]

I applaud you for listening to the viewers and putting in place this format. In my opinion it really adds a very valuable educational component that all viewers should appreciate and benefit from.

[@taylor9800]

Finally, now I can keep pestering Donnie to smile. 😁

[@michaelduncan2759]

I love this series, this is truly my bucket list hunt. I enter for the draw every year in my home state of Pennsylvania, and my current home of Virginia. The only thing that could make it better is to be guided by Corey!

[@hoedog80]

Finally was able to binge all 6 episodes. Loving every minute of it.

[@shanekrukow9454]

I am a flatlander from Iowa and love to bow hunt elk. Thank you for the information, knowledge, video and your insight on elk hunting. I respect nature and like the way you guys portray yourselves. Thank you!

Opening weekend in Idaho was a hot one for sure!!! I tell myself every year, " wait until the weather cools a bit", then I find myself right back in same situation!! Chasing elk in the hot, smoky mountains!! Gotta start somewhere. Great start!!

[@kenamatice282]

Love it! Format, dad jokes, elk talking. Got it all. Only down size for me is that I work away from home and when I told my wife the season is starting she told me I have to wait to watch them at home so she can watch them with me. Look forward to each episode ALMOST as much as opening day of elk season. Thank you for what you do and sharing it with all of us

So good to relive the hunts with you! Thanks for sharing.

Great episode, that bull seems to come out of nowhere

[@joecoldiron42]

Over twenty years in the elk woods!! BTW, ya won’t find a place to cure this addiction… but, back to my point,,, y’all are on point! Most big bulls are killed in the first two weeks of archery! After that you should hang out in the pub, tavern, whatever you call it but wait till 4th season,it’s hard to compete ! Old bulls /elk smell , see, and hear better than you would believe see ,smell and hear better than

Nice reminder why you are far more effective with 2 hunters- caller and shooter. Always more enjoyable to share with someone.

1st season for me watching. Get's me through the long Idaho winters and I am learning so much about Elk hunting. Moved to Idaho from the southeast. Big time deer hunter but elk hunting is my new found passion. Your shows are great. Elk 101 is a great learning experience. Shot my first elk my first year in Idaho 2022.

Lost interest in hunting a few years ago after 38 years of bow hunting. Guess you could say burnt out. Your video have sparked the interest aga8n and looking forward to 2023 season. Thanks again
