SCRIPTED - Elk Hunting - Idaho - EP1

[@elkaholic338]

Hello from Pennsylvania ! I made 9 trips to Idaho and had some success when I was younger, but now I'm old and wore out ! Those mountains are steep ! Congrats on a great hunt … I wish I would have taken a video camera on my trips ! Get out there and enjoy yourself while you are young enough to do it !

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Joel Hoffer wow! That’s quite the trek! And thank you!

[@dawsondarrington2136]

I just drew a elk tag today for unit 66a, excited to get out there this fall.

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

I've lived in Idaho my entire life and hunted in every unit throughout Idaho and almost every animal there is to hunt and yall really know how to show the aspects that draw in the viewer and I just love Idahos mountains and all the valleys even if they are rough sometimes nice hunt and beautiful animal. 👍🏻

Ragged Ridge Productions thank man! The raft was a game changer

[@slosurfer27]

Man, I can't wait to go Elk hunting!

[@ryanbraswell5925]

Hunt Hells Canyon for the last eight years. Love the country and the solitude that it brings. Have been able to take two bulls and multiple bucks and countless memories between my brother and my dad. Have met a become close to a few families that live in the canyon.This country has always been a place that I think of year round. My dad is no longer able to trek these mountains but is still able to make it to camp. I look foward every year to the challenge that this hunt brings and look foward to putting meat in the freezer every year, just wish it was elk meat that filled the freezer every year.

[@marissawelch8377]

It will be fun to see Westin hunting with you guys 😉

Marissa Welch 😁

[@ianpogue8980]

Awesome stuff guys! I hunted Hells Canyon last archery season and its tough country.

[@warren3665]

Great video guys. I’m a little familiar with that canyon river country of Idaho, you definitely earn anything you get there!

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Koocanusa Hunter thank you!! We definitely felt like we earned it haha

[@triaxwilliamswilliams8948]

Jesus what beautiful country.I have never been out west before and want to try it and experience it so bad at least once. What unit is this in?

[@raiderhater90]

What a killer hunt! Hope you guys do more hunts like this!

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

raiderhater90 thank you! We plan on doing many more! EP2 will be up tomorrow same time👊🏼

[@eriks4974]

Nice work guys, Is that rifle a Nosler M48 Liberty with an atlas bipod? Looks identical to my setup

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Erik S thanks man! And yes it is! It’s a sweet combo

[@gunnulfsen77]

What tent and stove did you guy's use and do you like it?

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

We’ve been using the seek outside cimarron with the medium stove for a few years. It’s treated us well.

[@pokerman9108]

where did you get that stove and tent setup? great video!

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

PokerMan thanks man! The tent is a Seek Outside Cimarron and the stove is a Seek Outside medium stove. You can order straight from them or Gohunt.com Good luck this coming season! -Joe

[@sambetts3078]

Fun video to watch 👌🏼

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Sam Betts thank you sir👊🏼

[@FreeWrldMerchant]

Thank you for taking us along with you on your journey! What an exciting time! Just had a quick question. What did you guys do with the meat of the first bull while you continued your hunting?

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

FreeWrldMerchant glad you enjoyed it! We hung the meat at our base camp. Then processed it down into smaller portions, sealed it and put it on ice before freezing it on one of our stops on our way home.

[@FreeWrldMerchant]

@@DecisiveOutdoors That was helpful, thank you. September 2019 I hunted the Selway Region, saw some cows but no bulls. My hunting partner and I did both shoot mule deer. We carried a chest freezer in our trailer with a generator which worked OK, but October 2021, a good friend and I are heading closer to where you guys were, but we are going hard-core High Country, Spike camp (minimalist) and I am trying to pick the mind of guys who have done it. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@davebeals1718]

Cool hunt! Thank you for sharing. I used to hunt Hells Canyon (Idaho side), in the late 90's. Brought back some good memories watching your hunt. Is the Oregon side as good? Better?

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

That’s a tough hunt! Hells canyon is an amazing place. We’ve never hunted it but I know a few who have with good success. I’m really not sure how different the success rate is on either side though. Thanks for the comment and question

[@lostrivercentralidaho3467]

You found God’s country! Nice work. Glad you enjoyed the hunt. I am lucky to have grown up there.We always wore the sides out from our boots before the bottoms in this part of Idaho. Did you stop at the MT saloon for a celebratory beer on your way out?

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Thank you! It’s an awesome place for sure!

[@timothycox1622]

How do you keep the meat from spoiling while still camping

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

In cooler air temps you can hang meat for a week or so. You just have to make sure your quarters have good air flow. This last season we brought a small chest freezer and small generator and ran it for a couple hours a day after we processed the animals.

[@dimakharitonov9883]

What unit is this? Beautiful country

[@scottnunnemaker5209]

Love the editing and camera work!

[@tylerranes9391]

Which seek outside tent is that?

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Cimarron

[@ruralroute1]

what external camera microphone did you use? thanks

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Hello, it’s a Rode video mic Lightweight. I have adjusted the settings a little since I first started using it. I had a set a couple notches low on this hunt. I’ll attach a link. www.adorama.com/rdvmga.html?

[@ruralroute1]

@@DecisiveOutdoors I appreciaté the quick response. Parfait! Merci.

[@duckcaller10]

What camera are you boys running? If you can run the audio just through your mic and turn the camera audio off(if available) you tend to get better audio! Great vid!

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Jaeger Evinger were using the Sony AX53 with a Rode video mic. Were you having trouble with the sound? If so, how? Just curious, thanks for the feed back. The camera only allows for one audio source. Thanks though!👍🏼

[@leongallegos4477]

I had alot of RESPECT for you when you gave praise to your wife alot of men dont have a wife that will support them. But I lost some respect when I seen you pack out the rack before the meat. But still a great video 👍👍

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

All comments are appreciated, thank you! Interesting perspective on packing the horns out with the first load of meat. I’ve had this conversation before. People who tend to get worked up about this seem to do so as a result of a feeling they need to hang their hat on something to help them feel better than the next guy. End of the day all laws were followed, all meat was well taken care of and packed out. Hanging at camp or on the mountain while hiking back and forth doesn’t make much of a difference to me. And if someone believes that’s representative of us “prioritizing” the antlers that’s just not the case. It all comes out. EVERY TIME, no matter what.
