Roosevelt Elk Hunting is "Growing" On Us - Destination Elk - Episode 02

[@ericbrown6454]

It's encouraging to know that even world champion callers with as much experience and history of success as you guys have are still learning and I wouldn't say struggling but have to work hard to find the elk and learn both a new area and species. It gives me hope for the next hunt where the elk are hard to find or don't want to cooperate.

[@Dylan7444]

I love watching you guys and Born and Raised and Hushin crews, I made my first trip bow hunting elk in southern Colorado this year inspired by you all. I called to 3 bulls and and had one coming but got my wind, I was so excited and it got me hooked, can't wait to go again. Walked 55 miles that week in early September. Thanks you guys inspired me!!! Jeff

[@fulldrawassassins]

Awesome series! I appreciate how sincere and humble you all are. I absolutely love bow hunting and the art of archery. I've learned so much from watching you. Very exciting and fuels our passion. My friends and family wish we could broadcast "Full Draw Assassins" like you guys have with ELk 101. The perspective is refreshing. We do the same thing and have our own little piece if the pie. Keep up the amazing work as it does inspire the average hunter to challenge him or herself. This year, I was able to help my brother-in-law get his first elk with a bow. It was super exciting to see his emotional triumph after being so close for the past 2 years. Together our "Full Draw Assassin" team has taken 4 bulls on public land in the last 3 years. Much credit has to be given to my Dad who learned the mountain years prior and passed his knowledge onto me. Through the Avenue of KZbin we have benefitted a great deal. The Born and Raised crew, Hush, Elk 101, and Elk Nut have made a difference. We will try to put out some videos this upcoming year to give back to the community that has given us all so much!

[@drake1988]

I'll be waiting to watch some of that!

[@garyo4456]

Hey Cory! I’m the guy who was in touch with you several years ago regarding how to acquire a Sitka Gear camo cover for my Bugling Bull bugle! You shared that you used a shirt sleeve and suggested that’s what I’d need to do if I wanted one. You went so far as to offer a discount on a shirt if I needed one!! I had a shirt, I cut the arm and I hand sewed a Do it Yerself Doozy!! It’s been great! I don’t need a new bugle tube, but if I received a custom cover...I’d donate my first edition hillbilly bugle to the Sitka Gear museum!! Ps...love my Rocky Mountain diaphragm calls!! 😊👍

[@oneshotonekill2528]

I've held myself back for weeks so I'd be able to benge, wife is gonna hate screaming elk for 8 hours today but the kids love it too so we win😁, love ya guys🤙

[@killahboutdooradventures]

Nice Moss Beard! So glad you guys get up early like elk hunters should...

[@nathanielmcpeak5344]

Your crew and the Born and raised outdoors crews have been truly an inspiration to my wife and i aswell as my best friend. We hunted this year in north idaho and had the time of our lifes this year we spent 14 days in the mountains and hiked a 100 miles. Seen lots of elk had several close calls but no luck but i still chock it up as a sucessful hunt. We did see Dirk Durham out in north idaho we think he called in the bull we nicknamed lucky. It is great to see a youtube series from Elk 101 crew looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

[@mr.steeeeyagi1236]

Stoked to see you guys in Oregon! Hope to bump into you in the woods.

[@sav300]

I can only imagine how many hunters have showed disappointment upon seeing giant bull only had two legs and was named Corey.

[@clearwater1950]

Your adventure takes me back to my growing up years on the ocean side of the Olympic Peninsula where I began my hunting adventures at age 12 in 1962. My first bow hunt was for elk on the flanks of Mt. St. Helens in 1965. I am still at it, but in Idaho now. You are doing it right. I appreciate the message(s) you are giving young hunters in this video series. thanks.

[@Elk101]

Thanks Larry!

[@donanderson882]

It is much appreciated that your series remains realistic by sharing both the hits and misses. Unlike those videos that only show the harvest of a giant bull on private land, your videos continue to hold my interest and I look forward to the each new episode. Hooray for those of us that still value the DIY Public Land hunting. Well done Cory and Team!!

[@timflikkema132]

Without Dirk there, Donny actually gets to talk a little ;)... great stuff guys!!

[@MrDaltonjerry]

If the intro doesn't get you pumped, nothing will.

[@typicalmuley6364]

I would love to hunt Roosevelts one day

[@SteelheadTed]

What’s stopping you? Come on over!

[@backyardbone12]

Man how do I watch all these day by day series and get the kids homework done, get them to practice etc....love it, keep me coming.

[@JoshWheelers]

Between Hushin, BRO Crew and now you guys the majority of my entertainment comes from KZbin now. Love that there's quality people making quality content to help get me through the long and dark UT winter. Keep it up!

[@bgulli7814]

Are you guys elk hunting or auditioning for a part in Lord Of Rings :)

[@logantaylor933]

Love the solo calling tips! You can’t always find someone willing to go into the mountains to chase elk with you. You and Donnie are the model of what hunting buddies should be!

[@BigGameAZ]

I appreciate the Strategy for Success portions. Corey, I attended an elk calling seminar you did, and learning the tip of directing cow calls through the bugle tube made ALL the difference for my calling. Thank you. In some areas, where there is not much cover, I have been able to use the ventriloquist technique to throw the sound of the cow calls into thicker cover, and have watched bulls peg the target rather than me which caused them to walk right passed my location. It's one of my favorite things to do. I appreciate you, brother.

[@benpatten172]

You guys do a great job keeping your hunts really professional and ethical. My son who is 13 looks up to hunters like you so thanks for setting good examples. Keep it up.

[@Elk101]

Thanks Ben! And tell your son we said hello!

[@brushymountainbushcraft1031]

Hey Corey, I love the strategy maps with the little figures showing where the bull is at and where yall are at. It was nice to see where yall are on the map and which way yall are trying to manoeuvre to get him in! !! I loved that in one of your videos! Thanks again and God bless

[@richardsudweeks1402]

you keep asking for someone to say how boring the episode is so here it is the episode was so boring(there is nothing boring about elk hunting even with its ups and down) I can't wait to watch the next one. Great work!!

[@kevindebates8099]

I’ve hunted the Oregon coast range for years, I just sat here laughing at you guy about the jungle. The salmon berry is what scratches the neck,(isn’t that nice), the salal ,is the crap you can barely get through and is as noises as driving a herd of cattle through as the Bow finds every hang up.I love watching your elk hunting video,it motivate me to keep on getting out in the elk woods at the age of 60 . Thanks again for the opportunity to watch something that I love to do. Sincerely Kevin

[@CoachGoodwin23]

Cory and Donny: you guys do a great job! I’ve hunted elk in Colorado for over 25 years. Your calling techniques are game changers. Rocky Mountain Elk Calls are the best; the tubes are the best in the business - the sounds, tones, and consistency of those sounds are critical! I LOVE ELK101 University; the information presented will make you a better elk hunter! You guys, along with the HUSH Crew, and Born and Raised Crew are the best of the best! Thank you for all you do!!!

[@t2shortb]

The cats outta the bag now... Easy Cheese and V8!! Send it Donnie! I have been soo excited for this series, Myself and all the fellas I work with on base are not going to get much work done now, Thanks for that!

[@drake1988]

Gotta has the essentials!

[@mckenziehoughton5963]

I enjoy watching Corey on the call. I learn something new about calling everyday watching him call.

[@iangoodbla7054]

Even if you guys are having troubles getting on elk you are still learning stuff deffinetly no boring to watch! Keep it up it'll happen!

[@keeganluchte3532]

Even though the hunting isn’t hot, listening to you guys talk about tactics and listening to how you are trying to communicate with the elk in early season is amazing! Wether you are hunting them or talking about them, I am always learning... thank you! Keep it up!

[@craignoah4414]

Slow hunting days make the successful days even more rewarding. Love this format!

[@Strem4]

I Learn something new every time I watch. Thanks for all you do!

[@chiplong8642]

I have elk hunted for 30 years and truly appreciate the honest filming of Elk hinting. Hunters don’t always kill an animal and yet enjoy the HUNT. Thanks fuys

[@Elk101]

Thanks Chip!

[@tannerhodges9324]

The Oregon Coast is a love hate relationship. I drive from central Oregon to hunt it every year. It’s a blessing to be able to watch what me and buddies go through every year. Thanks for the amazing video experience.

[@GB-wh3kg]

It's great that you guys can come over here and get into the Roosies so quick. Hope you were successful

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

Destination's intro is the best of the year hands down.....

[@dsmt8703]

It's great that you all get to experience the Oregon coast. I live here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else, unless there is less brush. Xxl

[@justinfomento337]

You guys are awesome I am a western Washington Hunter and I don't think the coast gets the credit of how hard it is to hunt you guys are killing it if ppl are board watching this you know they never hunted here because that's allot of action to be experiencing every day. I hike 16 Mile give or take a day and every day you have had so far would b a great day In my woods

[@michaelwalmsley9810]

Absolutely loving the series boys. Corey and Donnie's laid back style is awesome. Learning so much and can't wait for each episode to drop. Destination Elk has taken over my life, at least the wife knows where to find me...on the computer :) Cheers from Australia, would love a bugle tube!!!

[@marcgulko6893]

Sweet videos. Great watching you guys. Donnie has his morning falls, I have my annual “swamp bath” in 40* swamp water.

[@sickguy]

Moss Mullets - We can't repel hilariousness of that magnitude! Honestly, great video you guys. Two episodes into the series and I am already hooked.

[@chadcartwright5427]

Looks unbelievable out there guys, looking forward to watching more episodes. Watch out for all the yellow jackets!

[@rondazon]

Even on those days that animals are few and far between, how lucky are we as elk hunters to get to experience the beauty of the woods? We are currently hunting Montana. My sister and I climbed a gut buster of a hill and as we popped up over the top of the ridge, we were met with a massive open flat sparkling with frozen vegetation. Breath taking....and our gift for that day.

[@billjones9708]

Welcome to the rain-forest of Oregon. Keep it going guys.

[@matthewbrunelle8314]

You guys are awesome. Always fun to be in elk opening day with bugles.

[@shanecody1737]

I've hunted elk my entire life here in Idaho, and I tell others that I still learn something new every year elk hunting.

[@jshockification]

Thank you guys for doing this series and giving us the inside scoop on everything elk from your points of view . And being an Oregonian it’s awesome to see you guys in Rosie country . Enjoy

[@eddew8825]

Roosevelt talk is better done with chuckles because it travels better and farther in the dense vegetation. Your hunt in my state makes me very excited to see how you will adapt to this type of elk. Learning something new after 50 years of hunting solo for them is always a thrill. Thanks fellas As you have asked for a shirt x large

[@723ryno]

This is so awesome!! As a kiwi with a few of those Roosevelt ELk in our country its so epic to see where they come from! thanks for the tips

[@tonynw318]

I 'm loving the series so far, especially because I'm an Oregon coast guy. Nothing like wandering those overgrown old skid roads.

[@travisthomsen8985]

I can only imagine what that terrain looks like in person with its dense lush greenery. This is going to be a great series and love watching it

[@bodimccaskill9132]

You guys are my favorite to watch because of the learning curve. I am a successful elk hunter but I can never seem to learn enough about elk. Thank you for all your knowledge and allowing us to pick your brain.

[@toddtkach3806]

Great series so far guys! I’ve been elk hunting for almost 20 years and I’ve taken nice bulls with both bow and rifle and I purchased (and resigned) for the elk 101 course and learned a lot! My theory is you can never stop learning when hunting these great animals and others! One thing I’ve really taken away from the course and watching your team and the BRO Team is being aggressive, my son and I had a blast this fall chasing a bull for almost 4 hours just staying on him and bugling back and forth! Thanks guys for putting out the series, I know I appreciate it a lot!!

[@courtneyphillipp9852]

So glad you show the good and bad. Makes someone realize were all human and all have the ups and downs in hunting

[@jamiewilliamson9376]

Looking forward the other hunts. Series is good so far. Hard part is not clicking the ones that you know there is a Bull down.

[@johnelston4603]

With all the groups now on you-tube that are putting out these awesome videos is an inspiration, this year is the first year my boy can hunt in Wyoming he drew a late season Cow/Calf tag for very good unit he is stoked and we have been watching all the channels this season following along in anticipation of his own hunt!!!!!

[@benthomas4282]

Can’t get enough of this and the elk talk podcast!

[@yourtypicaldayoutdoors3263]

So excited about the ELK101 Crew creating a series like this. Watching the Land of The free tour with ELK101 and BRD crew was by far my favorite episodes.

[@tannercollins3765]

Watching Corey and Dirk has got me excited for next year already!!! I enjoy seeing the whole story!

[@crookcountyoutdoors3201]

I really enjoy the coastal Oregon hunting. My brother has been trying to talk me into it for years. This might be my motivation to venture out from the east side of the state to the rainforest. I grew up there and we always drove away from the rain forest to the desert to hunt.

[@oneshotonekill2528]

Same here and regret it alot now, I'm on the wrong side of the cascades for good hunting now.

[@patrickrodarte]

I am so impressed by how effortless your calling is. I watch all of your videos hoping to get just a little bit better at calling. Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us.

[@rebekahjosberger6669]

I wish there were more Hunters that would video SW Washington. You would think it would be similar to Oregon. But it is truly a different animal!. Love the show. thanks for being here.

[@VICSKIM949]

Dude, no. We don't need anymore people here. Let's sit back and let the world think there's no elk in WA state. It's better this way.

[@mattmyers5314]

From a fellow Oregonian, welcome to the jungle! ive been wanting more great hunters to come west and experience western oregon elk hunting and all that it entails. thanks for all that you do!

[@normanwood2476]

Just wanted to say thank's again for the video. one thing you learn about hunting on the Oregon Coast is bring a change of clothes for every day your going to be hunting there.

[@TopPinShot]

Great videos. Look forward to getting home after work and watching the hunting shows

[@ronaldhansen2585]

Never boring Corey watching you all hunt. Really enjoy the new way you are doing your series.

[@Elk101]

Thanks Ronald!

[@kengilmore7391]

The videography is awesome and makes me miss my old stomping grounds. That old, mossy timber is so gorgeous!

[@ajlopez4378]

I enjoy watching you guys hunt and have fun because after all that’s what it’s about. Just a reminder to thank god for blessing you and making this possible.

[@marcsmith414]

Gentlemen, I can relate to your story so far. Born and raised in Western Oregon, hunted those hills, seen and felt that coastal mist, wore a moss bowtie to junior prom. Keep up the great work.

[@UglyAmerican00]

Great job on capturing the beauty! It transitions well and is a welcoming experience to see professionals hit rough spots

[@mikeashmon]

right on guys! liking the video style a lot. that fog you guys don't like can sure turn bulls on when it rolls in on a day it's been hot. about 3:30 the fog rolls in, temp drops, and bulls start firing off. it's also cool seeing those shiny wet black antlers materialize out of the fog. keep up the good work!

[@gregd.4339]

For being out of the comfort zone and being in a new area, it nice to see that you guys are in elk action.👍

[@lukejgrauke3319]

DIG IT! DIIIG IT!! DIIIIIIIIG IT!!! Keep em coming, great fun watching the hunts unfold!

[@shanecody1737]

Anyone else actually enjoy the Yeti commercials? Best commercial on KZbin, or television.

[@chasebarnes192]

I've lived near Mt Hood in Oregon all my life. It's truly beautiful country out here. Im glad you guys enjoyed it.

[@joshbrink1]

I'm from Oregon so it's cool to watch you guys go thru what myself and many other Oregon hunters go thru year after year. Real life hunting. Never give up, cuz as you know, it can go from zero to a hundred real quick. Thanks guys..Josh Brinkley

[@BlueCollarBowmen]

Yesterday and Today’s hunts are the first Roosevelt/“Ewok” lol, hunts I’ve watched. Awesome country, way different than chasing RockyMountains around the open country. Where’s the sun?! Great job guys. Good tip on cow calling with that awesome tube. Crossing my fingers I can practice soon for next season on a Bully Bull Extreme!

[@gregkalkhoff3569]

Good to see Donnie chatting it up. Beautiful country for sure.

[@ericthemantis]

That was some crazy lookin' forest. Can believe how green it is in there. A totally different elk hunt than I've ever watched.

[@ricardoruiz2781]

I like Donny's dedication! He even tore out his chest hair to have a dedicated wind checker!

[@johnpaulanthony6309]

Of all the guys putting out videos these days, your the best! Informative, entertaining, and real! Keep up the great work.

[@josecapablanca2396]

You guys and the BRO crew are the best on youtube

[@Jrjwoodsman]

I really appreciate your "Strategies for Success" and explaining the use of your bugle tube for cow calling. Thanks for all you do!

[@michaelhill2730]

Corey y'all are truly inspiring elk 101 and born and raised helped me and my dad decide to go elk hunting next year thank y'all love the series

[@mikeb3082]

Donnie and that cheese tho! Awesome country. it’s a great time in the world when we can follow you around hunting.

[@kevinwatkins4026]

I love watching these videos. As a beginner elk hunter of 3 years i embody the tips you all give along the way. They teach me so many things to keep in mind when i get after the elk. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and great experiences with us! I’m stoked for the future episodes.

[@Elk101]

Thanks Kevin!

[@jerodimlay]

So many people out on public land this year, I saw more this year than I ever have. Keep em coming guys!

[@markbelke5595]

Awesome watching the "EWOK" brothers elk hunt together. May the force guide you.

[@codymontgomery17]

I know how you feel with the rain! Always seems to be a few days of hunting early season that turn everything soggy!

[@Targetpanicker]

Love it. You guys, BRO and HUSH make life tolerable between elk seasons.

[@bethanyzuver3330]

We love our hunts in Oregon, so glad you guys were able to come see what a beautiful state we have!

[@jasonfrench2351]

Pretty awesome country (minus the yellow jackets). Great coverage! I hope to make it out that way some day.

[@septemberlife2941]

Love watching you guys hunt the nasty wet coast! Welcome to the neighborhood! You have to really want a elk and hunt all the weather. Go get them!

[@carloslucero4083]

It's great that you get to hunt with your brother! Being with family in the woods in irreplaceable...I wish you both nothing but luck and good times on your future destinations!!

[@phildetter8966]

I really like the tip on using the bugle tube while making cow calls to help the sound carry farther. I really like the tips that you guys are providing.

[@lucianionita9582]

I’m starting miss dirk. But Corey and Donnie are entertaining us enough. Can’t wait for tomorrow. :)

[@rbljackson]

Corey, the strategy for success portion is a nice edition to the day by day video format. enjoying this series so far. What's missing from these videos is including what's in the packs. The bro crew is missing that as well. I really need to thin down my gear list for daily hunts, and extended hunts. Knowing what to carry and even more importantly, what's NOT needed may really be helpful. I bet that pop up camper was nice when it got to be cold and rainy...LOL.

[@AvidHntr7448]

Great show guys! I learn so much from watching you guys.

[@shawnmcbeth909]

Epic beard corey. Love to see you experiencing Oregon coast, it's what I hunt every year. ;)

[@brandinhartsock9252]

You guys are great. It is nice to see some of the experts come to the PNW and deal with the struggles like the locals do and how you guys try to adapt.

[@adamreathaford9508]

Thanks so much for the honest elk hunting adventures. You will keep us all coming back for more.

[@jeremywilson4761]

The coast mist...it's a trademark of the coast range! Looking forward todays episode!

[@tiffhowe8167]

The terrain is unbelievable. I've been to OR once, unfortunately not to hunt. You are showing us some beautiful country!
