There is a reason Speak the language is tattooed on my side. You’ve taught so much @primoshunting. Thank you. I can’t thank you enough.

[@Alan-in-Bama]

As an avid deer hunter since 1984… I’ve watched all the popular hunting shows and videos and I’ve met several of the men that created these shows…. Bill Jordan, Hank Parker and I accidentally met Will Primos at the Birmingham Home and Garden show back in 2009 or 10. He was just visiting with his wife like everyone else. But I saw him and had to stop and shake his hand…. Just to tell him that I’ve enjoyed the Primos hunting shows and products for many years. Needless to say, Will Primos was extremely nice and thanked me for being a fan. In my opinion, He and his team are just good people, running a successful business and doing what they love. Y’all keep up the good work and keep sharing it with us all. - Much respect from Alabama.

[@robertdewilde4095]

The best part of this video to me is when it seems as Brad pauses after the elk falls as to give homage to the elk, no jumping up and down and celebrating. Just quietly acknowledging and reflecting on the moment. Thank y'all for all ya'll have done over the years.

[@travisbowers5143]

If the bull doesnt drop it misses six inches under the bull- it didnt move forward at all though. Just say it like it is, dont make excuses. Glad you found him

[@mattbasque287]

Could not agree more! It was a shitty shot.

[@Alan-in-Bama]

That is a Beautiful Monster of an Elk !! Congrats man !

[@bryansmith3232]

He just lew the shot! Look at what side of the little tree his arrow goes. The left side!

[@dvskane1808]

You shot back, no excuses. Lucky you got him.

Will , I've been watching since the early 80 s. Loved every minute of it . Speak The Language.

[@noahfuller197]

CA ranch is for sale. Just a smooth 245 million dollars. If you have that kind of money you can shoot a bull like this too

[@randylarkin7022]

I have learned alot about elk hunting and calling tactics threw watching promos elk hunting they caused all my money sleepless nights wondering around in the woods chasing something that sounds like Godzilla coming all pissed off yelling like bigfoot sasquatch or something I don't if you're exited or scared but it's alot of fun love the stuff bow hunting elk thanks primos and everyone involved with it your the greatest people and we love everyone of your shows movies thank you your friend Randy Larkin Baker City Oregon

[@kenwiltsie6920]

CA ranch in Montana! Anyone could get a bull there. If you can afford it.

[@randynez7223]

You guys are great 👍 nice bulls.

Awesome bull great video,will said you know we some lucky guys ,I'd say that all you guys have been blessed nothing lucky about it👍👍

[@marchaberern2331]

Congratulations, awesome bull! I hope to find one half that size someday. I’m 0/8 lifetime elk hunting. I’m lucky if we see a cow elk in a season.

[@thomasstrand6051]

If you’re a bow hunter look up a man by the name Paul Medel “the elk nut” his videos will change your elk hunting life. Especially a podcast he did with Cody Rich on “The Rich Outdoors” podcast. I’ve killed two 6x5 and a 4x4 since I found him. Good luck this season!!

[@kalegarfield2346]

Try it out go to bone tail fort Peck lake area

[@kalegarfield2346]

The biggest elk I ever see and white tails were at fort Peck lake area monster bucks and Bull elk all on public Land

[@jackstoltzfus5682]

Wow

[@kadenholloway74]

What is his draw weight?

[@kjdogbuster]

10:58 shows exactly the point of impact and it was nowhere near that pencil . The bull didn’t turn or duck or even move until that arrow contacted his guts. It was a shitty shot, plain as day….and that’s ok….it happens to all of us….but stop acting like your aim was true and pure and the bull “boogered” causing the bad hit….Wilbur, bless his heart, made a poor shot.

[@jeffreybateham9527]

You flat out gut shot that elk.. the elk didn't move forward... you are lucky you found it..

[@yourhuckleberry3733]

Oh and you're the expert we can see that right now, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 obviously you didn't watch the video when they slowed it down, you can definitely see that the elk lurched forward before the arrow got there! The fact is they let the Bull die overnight retrieved it the next day, to me you're probably the kind of guy who would have hit an elk like that and just took off after it and chased it and let it get away and spoil! But I guess that's why Will Primos makes videos and you don't! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@tomom2011]

I'm not loving how unbothered you all are about a gut shot. You know that bull is suffering but are high fiving like you've just nailed him in the boiler room. I would be distressed.

[@user-xx2vu6xl3s]

With all the armchair experts commenting, I'm surprised anyone would post anything at all on here. Some of the professional critics on here need to stick to the canned hunt videos.

[@dennismccormick7322]

This is what money buys ...

[@tylergrant-peters4563]

I could watch Wilbur and Brad hunt all day every day. Those two make me feel like I'm 5 years old again watching VHS tapes with my dad. Absolute legends

[@Rippinmolips]

This is a great video. Every time I hear Will speak it's like I'm a kid again watching those VHS tapes of my all time hero. thanks for sharing

[@PrimosHuntingVideo]

Thanks Joe! We really appreciate the feedback!

[@jimbrown2604]

In my book Will Primos is the most authentic person in the hunting industry....and has been for a very very long time. You just can't fake passion and that's the Truth!

[@YELLOWLEAF205]

You're right,still the same Will he was in 1986 when it all started.

[@alanlabar7722]

Thanks for taking this old man hunting with you boys. I appreciate it.

[@wyomingbulls]

To all involved with the Primos Team - I appreciate the hard work and great hunting ethics you've proved over the years. Your calls and techniques have helped me for years in taking lots of elk. I get how hard it is to do what you do. Way to go. I can feel the great respect you have for the animals and for the sport. Hey Will - when are you coming hunting with me?

Thank you James!

Glad to see Will An Brad again hope to see more on KZbin great video got all your VHS an DVD's keep up the Great Work

[@maxmuller1038]

The fact that you posted this shot online, something every archer fears is a bad gut shot, but knowing we would all look at that trophy bull and take the same exact shot standing in your boots at full draw....it shows transparency and a little humility. We all make mistakes, I am just glad you recovered that bull and shared a beautiful fun adventure in the woods. If that bull had not dropped down, you would have just about missed him completely. Is September here yet? I am ready to sling an arrow or two, tag out and help my buddies fill their tags too!

[@PrimosHuntingVideo]

Thanks Max. We're all just human and make mistakes no matter how much you practice. We show it how it happens, because it happens to everyone else too. No kidding, counting down the days! Good Luck Max!

[@dublelung1]

Bad shots happen, It's what you do after the shot that often determines the recovery or not. Ya'll made the right decision.

[@PrimosHuntingVideo]

Yes sir! We hate it, but it does happen.

Have you ever thought about doing a video showing you processing an elk? Would like to see skinning one.

Great idea Jerry! We'll have to do that when we're out this September

I looked at that shot and you just shot way too far back, he didnt move that much.... anyway great hunt enjoyed it very much.

[@napaoflogan2]

Looks like your shooting a low poundage bow. Had forever to react. Good thing he turned so it was quartering forward.

[@mightyjoeyoung1390]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ericlind3569]

It was just a simple misjudged yardage. If he’d of shot him for 50-55 yards, he’d be done in seconds. But that’s bowhunting, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Good for you, Will!! Congratulations on your biggest bull!!

[@PrimosHuntingVideo]

Yes! It was cold enough overnight.

[@jdwj2408]

Nice bull I'd say 350 though

[@jackarnold4027]

I don't see it that way....a 350 bull is an average of 15 inch tines...this one is more like 18,23,14,24,20, plus extra 8points on the 7th rt side only, unfortunately.....my guess is a gross score of 406...net 392...what was the official score?

[@waynemorris6217]

Once again the Primos gang is supporting a business that denies access to public lands. They are hunting the Anderson ranch, which if I have all my information correct, surrounds public lands & the owners deny access to those public lands. I live in MT and we are losing a lot of public land to ranch owners who block access to our public lands. I no longer buy any Primos products as long as they support businesses that deny my opportunity to hunt on public lands. There are other good private ranches they could hunt instead. It boils down to greed for money and video worthy hunting at our (the public) expense. When you have thousands of acres deeded and then on top of that you lock up hundreds, if not thousands, of acres of public land - that is just wrong. Enjoy the video, because you will never hunt there, unless you want to pay big bucks - even to hunt on that "public" land!

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

That's a whole lot of virtue signalling. Why should these guys be responsible for righting every prescribed wrong in the world? If there's public land to access petition your local representatives to get something mandated. It is not the duty of these hunters to fight that fight for you, and from the private land owners I can totally understand them wanting some restrictions in place on who goes through their property. Get off your soap box.

[@waynemorris6217]

@@IanWrigleyNZ They are blocking access that once was public but the ranch owners have decided they have a right to gate that access. I have spent much time writing and contacting my representatives in this fight. We are losing more and more public land to situations like this. A company like Primos who has "weight" could certainly help the cause to keep public lands public rather than encouraging and supporting an organization who is illegally blocking public access. I would hope if your public land was being denied access you would get off your butt and get on a soap box!

Nobody said anything about being us being "professional" hunters. We just love going into the woods and documenting the hunt. If you've never made a bad shot Clay then you haven't been hunting long enough. It happens no matter how much time you spend practicing.

It's a quote from Will's favorite movie Jeremiah Johnson! "Just where is it I could find bear, beaver, and other critters worth cash money when skinned? Ride due west as the sun sets. Turn left at the Rocky Mountains"

Let's call it like it is fellas....that was a poor shot. The elk didn't move that far forward, it was bad placement. And the fact you quibbled for an additional 5 min after the fact....lost some respect on this one.

Will is a professional but everyone gets nervous and makes a bad shot so when you never make a bad shot talk to me

[@hunteremiller]

Hello year old comment. I had to rewatch the video to see what the comment even referenced.... So, I guess we’ll never talk then. Plenty of missed shots from my strings. But, I always own them. It’s frustrating seeing/hearing a professional hunter ramble on and make excuses for a bad shot.

Charly Farly If you want to get technical, he only shot once and the elk died. So yes he did kill it the first time. Don’t try to play the suffering card. Killing is killing weather they feel it or not. Even hunting with a high powered rifle these animals are just flat out tough. I have seen elk double lunged (an ethical quick killing shot) with a 300 win. Mag walk over a mile before laying down and dying. I absolutely agree with primos. You either haven’t hunted long enough or are just here trolling someone who’s made a damn good living hunting.
