Hunting Wyoming Elk with Randy Newberg and Mike Spitzer, Part 2 (FT S2 E10)

[@jaredparsons2334]

Will be in the woods next weekend here in the Wyoming high country looking for my big bull! Moving to Wyoming was one of the best decisions we have made!

[@chrisparadiso6587]

What a great series!! You are such an inspiration to us public land hunters, thank you!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you. I am glad you like it. Hope we continue to produce content you find worthwhile. Best of luck this season.

[@barbmartin1032]

truly awesome hunt, really enjoy your videos, about my only hunting anymore, thank God for you and thhese great hunts!!

[@alainderoulette]

Love to see the respect you gave to that majestic bull elk .

[@michiganoutdoorsman7101]

Randy I have always loved hunting public land. I own private property in MI and have been binge watching your videos and doing a lot of research on hunting out West for the first time. Thank you for your knowledge and sharing your experiences. It has definitely helped alot. Can't wait to put the work in.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad it has helped. Thanks for watching. Good luck.

[@Sheddtycoon]

What a great episode. Thanks Randy...............Bill

[@ryanellis3788]

awesome bulls Randy I need to put in for some out of state hunts.that's some beautiful country you guys were in.

[@donaldfranklin2958]

I love the lessons that I've learned watching each of your videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Hope we continue to make content worth watching.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Nice bull. Gotta love Wyoming... wait a minute... I do! I live here!!

[@1elk]

Randy, it is great getting to watch you're trips. If it wasn't for public lands I would have stopped hunting years ago. The older I get the more it's the enjoyment of the company I'm with and the country I get to see then actually shooting anything. I still average an elk every 3-4 years and I don't need to shot bulls if a fat cow comes along. :-) Keep up the good work, it keeps me going.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thank you and thanks for watching. Good luck in 2017.

[@HuntingTheWest]

Hey Randy, Enjoying the shows. Just found your channel the other week. Good stuff. Public land hunting here in Alberta is no different, just got to get away from the roads. Thanks

[@LeggsGuy]

Wow. Great show! And good hunting!

[@grantoyamaha]

U r a legend Randy , love your work . Great vid , thanks

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks, but I am about as sub-par and below-average as any guy you will meet. I just don't give up very easy.

[@jward9637]

That really was about perfect. Great hunt guys and congrats on two beautiful bulls!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@OhioAngler]

love your videos im Colorado resident really like the ones were your here in my backyard

[@wyomingliving7454]

awesome video randy, keep them coming......

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@jward9637]

That was awesome!! Great hunt!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@thereturningboomerang]

Was a great video. Would have Loved to see the process and bits of the packout.

[@gregwheatley3700]

Great show, I grew up in Wyo, moved out of state but try to get back there to elk hunt every year at our cabin near Dubois. Cant wait to get back there and hunt again, but got to watch out for Griz and wolves there!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. Hope you get back there to hunt.

[@bowhunter8532]

That bull wasn't 'down'. He bedded down. That shot was way way way back. It sure looked like a gut shot but you guys were there. Luckily it clipped liver. Regardless...fantastic bull. Congrats to him. Hard work pays off.

[@AlsAllAussieAdventures]

Awesome bull guys! Well done.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@jacksonwholeexperience409]

Randy, thanks for the awesome video. I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and love this part of the country with all my heart and have been blessed with the opportunity to explore, hunt and fish this place. If you're ever in the area, I'd love to meet you and exchange stories. Possibly get together for a fishing trip on one of these mountain lakes or a hunt if the timing is right. I just bought my Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400-gram boots, too!! PS - had to have them send me the "Cushion" insoles because the arch was hurting during the suggested 50 mile break-in period. Hope you're doing well and gearing up for this season's hunts and videos. I still need to do some editing on my hunting videos and publish them. Take care and be safe!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching. Glad you like what we produce. I was in Jackson a bit last winter. Cool place with lots of my kind of activities going on. Best of luck this season.

[@jacksonwholeexperience409]

Thanks and you too!

[@williamwashington6735]

Damn, everything they use is gold ringed! Impressive Leupold!

[@terrysmith386]

KoDos. Mike. You got BIG HANK!! I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY seat. KoDos Again. Mike love your shoes Rand

[@brettfrench2272]

Hi Randy and team, First off, thanks for such great work. I’m learning a ton watching your videos and really appreciate the obvious dedication you have to educating fellow sportsman. I saw your pack video, but just wondering, any suggestions for an affordable pack for a new hunter?

[@PonderosaSoundStudio]

Great series! Strikes me that one of the things that would strengthen your ability to get on animals you've spotted when you're split up is a Satellite email/text capability with a silent/vibration alert. Mike could have gotten there in half the time if Randy could have just texted him. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of tech dominating one's backcountry hunting experience. But you use tech often anyway. GPS, hunting apps etc.. So why not?

[@elkhornpetersen1894]

Nice shot!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@jaysonsmith9542]

Randy would be awesome to see some Washington state Rosie hunts, mount Adams or St.Helens area. monster bulls around there and they finally opened a draw unit for public but it is all walk in and Weyerhauser land borders. but I'm telling you the state record is running around in that unit. write back if interested in knowing more, or some summertime scouting. the view of Mt. St Helens you can't see anywhere else

[@steveshortridge6255]

Nice bull congratulations

[@jimpalmer4916]

Was the second bull taken with a 300 winchester magnum?

[@Jack-rf7kq]

You gave him the ol Howa handshake hahahahahaahahhahahahahahahahahaahaha

[@tonedatruth]

God bless america!!

[@andrewmaunders5207]

Great Bull....a little bull with the "bull down" comment though, very bad shot and that bull CLEARLY bedded while you guys stalked him and finished him off which the viewer did not see. I am not even a n elk hunter and could see what happened there! come on Randy, I am a big fan but give it to us straight baby!!

[@SafetyMentalst]

Hunting In Wyoming I had an Elk Tag to Fill At the forest edge sat very still ready to kill Waited until a five point bull tested my skill Back in town by ten AM that Elk fit the bill With That Elk Tag Filled Elk Steaks Hit the Grill

[@Fresh_Tracks]

LOVE IT!

[@reggierico]

Randy, thanks for the great episode and a great hunt for you and Mike. 'Central Wyoming' is pretty bare, was this the western slope of the Big Horns? Also, was this a general tag or a draw unit? I hunted just west of Buffalo a couple of years ago and got skunked by high temps, (60's at over 8000') and left early due to a thief that stole fuel from my camp.... Great looking elk country though, did you see any Mule deer there? Thanks again, jc.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+Jeffrey Collier - Not the Big Horns. It was in Central Wyoming. Limited entry hunt. Saw very few mule deer on this hunt. Good luck to you.

[@DallasKunz]

great stuff Randy, looks like area 33

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Nope. We have filmed in area 33, though.

[@DallasKunz]

Wyoming wind is crazy sometimes. I really enjoy watching your shows. You are a class act Randy and I look forward for more.

[@ericlove6317]

hey Randy. what do you use to start your fires. I have started plenty on fires in decent weather but when I went elk hunting it was -15 and windy. there was no chance of lighting anything, even paper hardly burned. I saw in a previous video like a fire block or something you had? maybe I just need to man up and figure it out. any idea

Randy Newberg, Hunter OK thanks and I really appreciate how you respond to your fans, not all KZbin people do. thank you

[@KN-xb9hn]

The rifle sling, is that an attachment one can buy or is it part of the backpack? I want one!

[@NVGUY4732]

Randy.....What kind of glassing mittens are you guys wearing? Brand/Etc?

[@bigstan29445]

What cartridge were you using?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

.300 Win Mag - 180 grain. Thanks for watching.

[@MTNTURBO5150]

I saw that at 17:24. I was like WTF..... and that first shot was way back

[@colyngrobler8497]

love your videos Randy all the way from south africa. Really wish i could hunt on my own without the farm manager peeking over your shoulder the whole hunt here like in usa. Doesnt feel like you connect with nature and the hunt more, but keep the videos coming!!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks for watching.

[@killintree4650]

Randy!!! I wanna hunt in mt with you. Big fan

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Wish that was possible. We get hundreds of requires, but not able to do any of them.

[@ejune7744]

is your bigest bull the tow 7by7s

[@parkeranderson8688]

Great vid Randy!! What caliber was that?

[@jakekuehl9433]

I'm glad this is a real hunting show that takes ethical real world shots. These shows that shoot elk at 1000+ yards are a joke. The bullet simply doesn't have enough energy behind it to ethically kill an elk at that range

[@randylamborn3579]

SHOT PLACEMENT or the ability to place a bullet where it will ethically kill a elk or lack there of in those shows is the problem.. Not the bullet

[@thedodob1rd]

@@randylamborn3579 use a 22 then at 1000 yards

[@randylamborn3579]

Why set yourself up for failure

[@docdnelson]

Where did you hit him? Great job!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+Derek Nelson - Liver.

[@iProxEXOTiXZz]

Can anyone tell me what a raghorn bull is? Like a 3 point?

[@klfundsmanagementbonds4922]

Is Mike a resident of WY? From what I've read you need a guide or go with a resident to hunt elk in WY? Hunting ID elk this year, but I'm actually visiting Jackson Hole right now and would be cool to get back here for an elk. Just wouldn't want to have to hire a guide. Thanks for great videos.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

No, Mike is a resident of NV and me a resident of MT. Non-residents do not need a guide to hunt elk in WY, unless you are hunting a designated Wilderness Area. This was just some BLM land, so no guide or resident partner needed. Thanks for watching.

[@chrislane9243]

Where can I get your sling set up for your rifle?

[@cockednlocked2347]

What caliber rifle Randy?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

One was a .308 Win and the other was a .300 Win Mag, both in Howa Model 1500.

[@mattthadd4663]

Randy Newberg, Hunter I take it yours was the .308 and mike's is the .300?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Yup, that is what each of is were using.

[@joleneday5997]

They need to put out the fire before leaving

[@anthonyashley4276]

Looks like Wyoming elk area 23 rattlesnake mountain

[@hellgate1981]

hi......what did you mean "after waiting for 7 years"........

[@gsp8489]

Did he need a second shot? It looked like he just layed down from the gutshot.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Yup. It did, but we don't show those. Serves no purpose, other than giving some folks a reason to complain about hunters/hunting. We've never shown a finishing shot, though it can be part of hunting.

[@gsp8489]

@@Fresh_Tracks Gotcha, makes sense. Just glad you guys got him. Love the show. I stumbled on it and got hooked on the idea of western hunting so much that last year I drove from Iowa to Idaho for mule deer and this year I'm bringing my dad along to Wyoming for pronghorn. Keep it up!

[@hotrodf]

Hey randy, where are you from?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I've lived in Bozeman, MT for the last 25 years. Born and raised in Big Falls, MN.

[@NC700_68]

seriously, ~750 bucks for a jacket?!!?!? that is insane.........

[@BadoreksDailys]

What caliber was that?

[@Fresh_Tracks]

.300 Win Mage - 180 grain. Thanks for watching.

[@BadoreksDailys]

Your videos are awesome. Favorite thing to watch right now.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Thanks. Good luck this year.

[@farmerallis]

Why don't you use VHF radios? Just call him over and you could watch the bulls.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

In my home state of Montana, they are illegal to use for hunting. Thus, I don't even own any. On occasion, when hunting states where they are legal to use, some have joined us who have radios. We have found ways to get the same result without them, so we see them mostly as another piece of stuff to worry about and heaven knows we already have enough stuff to worry about with our cameras, audio, etc.

[@farmerallis]

Randy Newberg, Hunter That's interesting. I figured there had to be some logical reason for it!

[@BigRedPower59]

Randy Newberg, Hunter Just use smoke signals. 😉

[@tallonsmith8192]

What calibr

[@Fresh_Tracks]

.308 Win and .300 Win Mag.

[@bartowpd342]

What howa style rifles

[@matthewbalcazar5758]

The Shirleys

[@Fresh_Tracks]

Close.

[@matthewbalcazar5758]

HHHmmmm, I know I could see Ferris in the background lol. Doesn't matter though, that was a great episode Randy and your buddy Mike harvested an awesome bull. Very nice mass. I live here in Wyoming and do quite a bit of hunting in areas that are big chunks of BLM or state where the public land barely touches the road for a couple hundred yards then opens up or just other hard to access spots where you need a gps . Its really cool to see someone on a hunting show that applys that tactic. I love it ! Keep up the great work Randy and if you ever wanna go on a hunt get ahold of me. Gonna backpack in for a big Mulie this year.

[@keatondraper9885]

what howa is that?

[@cotypihlaja576]

Keaton Draper think it's the model 1500

[@bartowpd342]

I hope u were the one shooting it if u think it’s a 1500.

[@timwiggins8211]

I love these. Very well done. One suggestion that I would have is to not include scenes that show them building a fire in the cleft of that rock. The rock ended up being permanently scarred with soot from the smoke and people that like to criticize hunters would be able to say that Randy was violating LEAVE NO TRACE. Otherwise an excellent video. tw

[@ejune7744]

i ah a big fan i wont to hunt with you

[@edwardfinn4141]

Randy , No not only in America, We have equally good hunts DIY IN Canada Elk, caribou, moose, bears. Actually I think the competition from other hunters is less.f But the USA is a whack of a country all the same.

[@deerhunterodsifvh]

One shot....explain the 3 empty cases on the rock after the shot, which the host quickly shoved in his pocket... Why not just be fucking honest for Christ sake!

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+konar miles - You would prefer that we show the three (not two as you noted) follow up shots into that thick tree that was protecting the bull where he laid down after the first shot. I get that. TV production guidelines don't allow finishing shots on a bedded animal to be shown. I agree with that guideline and I wouldn't show followup shots on dying animals, even if it was allowed. If it is that important to you to see all finishing shots, then you probably shouldn't watch our stuff, or any other network stuff. We don't show followup shots on mortally hit animals and neither does any network. Sorry to disappoint. Hope that explains the four empty cases. I pick up all empty cases before we leave a shot location, whether it is one shot or four shots. Not trying to hide anything. If you want a list of the other episodes where we did not show the follow up shots on dying animals, I can provide that, so as to not offend your sense of honesty.

[@deerhunterodsifvh]

+Randy Newberg, Hunter it's the big deal about one great shot when actually he wounded the bull and by the sounds of it fired randomly into a bush, I guess things are different in America to here in Scotland but firing wildly into a bush is just beyond me

[@Fresh_Tracks]

+konar miles - He mortally hit the bull and finished with an excellent follow up shot. He tried to thread follow up shots through the limbs of that bush. "By the sounds of it" (your term) maybe you were there watching to make the claims you have. "In America" if you mortally hit an animal, you still try your best to dispatch him with follow up shots as best you can. No "firing wildly into a bush," but if that satisfies your basis for criticizing, knock yourself out.

[@HuntingTheWest]

+Randy Newberg, Hunter, I thought the exact same thing when I saw where that first shot hit. I was wondering "why are they celebrating" and figured out somewhere between the first shot and walking up to the dead bull, they finished it off. I did not notice the extra brass mentioned above. It's hunting, and that was a long shot, sometimes stuff like that happens, and the other side of things that us guys don't have to concern ourselves with is you guys are out there making a tv show to boot! Well done I say. Since I found your channel last week, it's made this time of year a little more fun. Still another 6 weeks til I go bear hunting, so these sure help!

[@maudet8298]

+konar miles Listening to get someone that worked up over a shot count gave me a good laugh, and for that I am grateful. Howling Wyo winds and the guy hit a little back, then finished him through a tough brush stand at more than 400 yards in crappy conditions with a dose of adrenaline in his system. One shot or four, he was dead fast. Would you like the other 72 hours of edited tape? Get a life.
