Solo Archery Elk With A Recurve (TRAD BOW BULL) - Mtn Ascent #22

[@davidmccullough9453]

Elk hunting is usually a team effort. To get one, with traditional equipment no less, and then pack it out by yourself, AND film it, just WOW! YOU DA MAN! I am an avid archery elk hunting. I KNOW how much work that was! Congratulations and good, no, GREAT job getting the video! 😍😍😍

[@djslaugh]

This is probably the most exciting self filmed elk hunt I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Amazing job!

[@passingthetorch126]

That stalk was INTENSE! My adrenaline started going and I'm sitting on the couch brother! Congrats!

[@MrNutmeghunter]

Best Video I have seen in a long time! Wish we had the amount of game animals here in the North East.

[@devildog6107]

Much respect for your style of hunting. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@0oPRYMEo0]

I'm not sure Ive ever had buck fever watching a video! Excellent video brother! I've killed lots of elk with a compound bow, never a recurve! I told myself that once I kill a 300'' bull with my compound I will switch to recurve.

[@mountainmuleman0311]

The whole video was awesome

[@LeviDonaldson-q6s]

Dude !!! I have no idea how you pulled that off, filming, calling and shooting. But man you got it done. That was awesome. Ive seen pro camera man with worse footage. Very impressed you got that all. Crazy close encounter too.

[@mikerae100]

Incredible video, congrats on the bear and bull.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Congratulations 😮 nice one

[@johncasey6460]

One of the most bad ass videos I've ever seen brother! Nice work!!!

[@davidflippo4860]

That was sick!!

[@aforgottennativeamerica8439]

What a hunter. Dude your a bad ass.

[@seedsandfishhooks]

This is awesome. Thanks for posting. It's inspiring to see solo recurve elk hunts.

[@jamesbarnes7689]

Great video and hunt! Going solo no easy task, especially after you have one on the ground! Thanks for sharing.

[@rayst.pierre163]

Nice job and congratulations on a beautiful elk with you recurve. You capture the essence of the hunt very well for a solo filmed hunt. Nothing like a solo hunt eh? So fulfilling.

[@stalker7892]

Great video. Right to the point, no B.S.. Captured the essence of the hunt. Thanks a million!

[@bsmull3735]

As a trad bow guy I loved your hunt. Don’t see enough of it. Keep up the good work. I’ll be posting a bunch of hunts soon. If you’re ever interested in collaborating hit me up.

[@GettingToHeaven]

Really enjoyed your video. Talk about patience and determination!

[@kenvang9237]

What an awesome self filmed hunt! I haven't gone elk hunting before, yet. My heart rate and breathing went up watching.

[@mountainstandardoutdoors8673]

Unreal man... Felt like I was watching someone play a video game. So cool.

[@mspahn1967]

Great video man. Glad the shot was all on film. I was on edge watching.

[@rkrl1088]

Man awesome video.. please continue to put out great content with traditional equipment.. Hats off to you on such a quality solo hunt self filmed. Impressive

[@reinoldswrap23]

Thanks for no music! Great hunt video!

[@georgestark4100]

A bear and bull with a recurve, Fred Bear is smiling

[@BlacktailItch]

Man that was pretty damn epic!

[@RickSeymour54]

Very good video. Admire you guys that do these videos. I don’t like retracing my steps whatsoever and you return numerous times for your video camera 🏆 🏆

[@filipbertilsson2240]

That was epic! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing. You realy took me for 25 minutes for the real hunt what Im only dreamig about. Ive been shooting och praktising for few years but here in Sweden its not to allow to hunt with the bow. But I do. Even if only in my head and on the 3D course. Ishoot only with "hunting setup just to be so real if it ever comes. You know that feeling that you know that you are a hunter but cant hunt... wish I was there! Thanks!

[@LukeTunkel]

Dude, this video got me so fired up- your spot looks like the spot I'll be hunting, and it all felt real. 2 weeks!

[@houstonthomas7802]

Just came across this video and this channel, amazing hunt and filming! I’m determined to get a trad whitetail kill this year. This video has inspired me and made me hopeful for the future! I really appreciate it!

[@powstash]

I thought I was the only hunter who celebrates success with a dark chocolate bar! Great film.

[@hunterhill4786]

Hunting shows need more of the intense breathing because that is exactly what happens. Sweet video!

[@Justin-zs1ql]

That bull was going crazy! Great job

[@petervanderbeek9518]

Fantastic this is the best hunting video from a trad elk hunt congrats man

[@jimwoods8957]

This is one of the best videos, just listening to the elk and your breathing gets my heart rate up! Congratulations! I take it you were not in griz country, though it looked like it!

[@stevenpecos2756]

Congratulations on your hunt it was the edge of the seat action all the way through!! Great job

[@lonniemann4245]

What a great hunt and a great job getting all on video I've been there and done that with traditional gear it's no easy feat so congratulations !!

[@anthonyortiz32]

Awesome video. How nice to be in animals what seemed to be all the time.

[@mtnascent]

Yea it wasn’t all the time, its a little boring if you show everything I like it but it makes the video too long

[@jamesgreenwood1280]

One of my favorite elk hunting videos! Amazing job!

[@elkdeerfish]

What a great hunt!! The video and audio kept me on the edge the whole time. Loved it, Congrats!!

[@kolbychristiansen2099]

What an awesome video Trent! I love the persistence and seeing the grind. That bow is beautiful! Thank you for sharing

[@longbo2771]

That was just too cool, you now have the best hunting video on Utube. Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@krantz10]

Great video dude!!

[@ellisbruch6811]

Man, what a cool video. Thanks for putting in so much time and effort, then all the time to share with us. To me, the emotion, effort, and dedication is hunting. Well done.

[@akvinnie]

Absolutely an epic video! Love the detail on the shuttle brother! Well done! Vinnie

[@josephstephens3852]

Congratulations, that was an awesome hunt. You were in bulls almost all the time or at least while you had the camera running. Really enjoyed your content.

[@SurvivalHunting]

great job! those were some heavy loads on the pack out!!

[@levonstilson9032]

Very cool, great hunt. Crazy pack out, congratulations.

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Perfect shot on that bull. No better feeling than when all the meat is in the truck. Solo pack outs are tough, only had to do one and it took me 16 hours and was really not that far from the truck! Good luck next season.

[@boneculinator]

The best video of the year so far! And there's a lot of them. Good job, especially shooting trad. Love it.

[@victorgonzalez8351]

Awesome hunt & video. I went solo this past season, and harvested a spike with compound. It wasn't an easy packout...can only imagine what it must feel w/ a 6x on your back. Congrats again!

[@mtnascent]

Nice work!

[@AidanSchaff-j2m]

Awesome. I killed a 6x4 last year during rifle, but i would like to learn more about archery, especially with a recurve.

[@bwfreel]

that high and back shot on that bear can be VERY effective. I did the same thing with a nice large bear, if you cut the dorsal aorta before it divides into the femoral arteries they will be dead within seconds!

[@jowhi9296]

Absolutely awesome experience man! Hope to experience something like that

[@toreyyoung1518]

One of the best solo hunts I've watched. Great job!

[@clarkansas6590]

Outstanding! Congratulations on a great solo hunt.

[@emr7831]

Dude you are one sneaky bow ninja. Earned the follow for sure

[@trainrecked]

Awesome experience!! I had two diy Elk bow hunts in Colorado and my second trip , on the first morning's hunt I called up a herd bull who came rushing in after I cow called with another bull calling past me ...He had slobbers hanging down when he came screaming in..I was kneeling in some high weeds and let my arrow fly at about 42 yards hitting low and in the heart.. Just as he started to run I hit the cow call and he stopped, looking for her. I tried to nock another arrow , but my hand was shaking too badly now..I was worried the arrow hit too low..he started to walk slowly away and just as I saw him turn to go down a ridge he tipped over. I waited about a half hour , then slowly attempted to follow his trail even though he wasn't very far. Just then I hear something rush in just in front of me..(possibly the other bull) I wasn't sure at first if it wasn't my bull, but it wasn't, because I looked just past him and could see my bulls antlers sticking out of the weeds a short distance away. The most exciting hunt of my life! I was only about a half mile or so from my camp, but a rookie at this, so i didn't realize the spruce tree I marked with survey tape looked like a christmas tree when I was done. lol This was before GPS and their was no sure way of knowing exactly my location. Thanks for the great video and hunt! Subbed!!

[@RealRadNek]

Wow! Hat's off to you. Congratulations. At my age, I would have most definitely had a satellite phone and a packer on call.

[@md37346]

Great stuff,,, congrats on great hunting video ,,

[@lexiwynn02]

That was awesome

[@ascensionidaho8142]

What a fantastic video! Kudos to you sir. It’s not easy choosing trad archery let alone doing it solo for days in the back country.

[@familysimonovich5690]

Congrats on a nice bull almost 2 years later! Very enjoyable hunting video.

[@brianamundson9325]

This was awesome

[@royrowberry9267]

That's the most intense hunting video I've seen.

[@ericlind3569]

This is such a great video!! I inadvertently let out a loud, “YES!!!” when I heard it crash & didn’t realize I pumped my fist during my lunch break & startled my coworkers!! Hahhahahahaha what an awesome video and a great hunt!!! Is this northern Idaho & was that a 3 blade Cutthroat???

[@mtnascent]

Yes it was the 3 blade cutthroat.

[@ericlind3569]

@@mtnascentjust had to come back and watch this again after your episode on Stickbow Country. What one piece bow is that?

[@jackcaseman6464]
