Team Skousen - Tagged Out: EPISODE 10 (Destination Elk V5)

[@Elk101]

Remember everyone, we will announce winners on the finale show. Scammers have been attacking comments and messaging people saying they won a prize, but need to pay for shipping. Don’t fall for that!

[@slingin_stickz986]

I am still team Oregon!! Corey Ford!

[@KevinMartin-wb2vp]

I just appreciate you guys showing all of the real happenings, not a hunting show that erases the bad parts, keep it real! Appreciate Marks integrity, it is a true testament of respecting the resource that God gives to us, congrats. looking forward to Tuesday!!

[@donaldfinck2053]

Sorry to see Mark didn't get the bull. By punching his tag any way, it shows just how much respect he has for the animals! Hat's off to you Mark!

[@benjaminwarren2557]

It is refreshing to see a show that showcases TRUE hunting experiences that we all can relate to. Thank you!

[@mikewhitman830]

Gotta give the brothers credit for being very ethical hunters. If more were like this in all outdoor activities, I'd bet there'd be a few more for everyone. Thank you both.

[@jonEmontana]

Those 2 brothers are solid hunters.

[@corygodfrey7881]

Couldn't agree more. Everyone on this show sets the example of competent and ethical hunters.

[@joryflink5722]

Damn the luck losing a bull sucks. Keep the videos coming and don’t Twix me.

[@kyleboyd7828]

I've been watching this current season since the start, and now I'm in V3 episode 2! Your show is by far the most accurate and informative elk hunting show I've watched. Thank you guys for the tips and entertainment.

[@lauriejohnston3316]

This episode brought tears to my eyes for different reasons. Watching the Skousens pack out Jeff's elk on horseback, the soral horse with the big blaze, was identical to my horse we had to put down a few years ago. He was a foal my dad had given to me, I raised, broke and trained myself. He packed out many of my elk. So seeing it, brought back a flood of emotions plus the fact it was September 16th, my late dad's birthday. Mark punching his tag was a class act, knowing they had done everything to recover that bull. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs.

[@cleanshot74]

Laurie, I got this horse 23 years ago. He is now 24. His name is Curley and I know within the next few years he won't be able to go with us anymore. He is bulletproof and will be sorely missed when he is too old to make it up and down the steep mountains packing our bulls out. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@robertbuzan9013]

Good show! It’s good to show the highs and the lows of elk hunting. If you’ve hunted much, you’ve experienced the same. Hats off to Mark, class act!

[@RandyHunt19]

Mark is a top notch character to notch his tag, just shows he figured that bull would survive and not likely able to get back on him so just in my mind the absolute only thing to do! My hats off to Mark good on you! Great episode Corey and can’t wait till next Tuesday for the growler on the coast…. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@templetontardif2723]

True hunting at its finest, up's and downs many downs. Marks true character shows how pure of a hunter he is, God bless him and his brother.

[@billyelswick6473]

Highlight of my day. Is to hear Donnie’s dad jokes 😅

[@commandosando1628]

Absolute upmost respect to Mark for tagging out on that bull he shot and sadly didn't recover. That's what it's all about right there. Thank you for setting a good example of ethical hunting.

[@takurghar1621]

A lot of respect for Mark on that hunting situation. Been there, no the challenge. That is a pair of great hunters and the results certainly show it. I love this series and look forward to it every year....may there be many more.

[@MichaelRuetty]

I appreciate not only Mark's integrity but that of all the hunters on Destination Elk. Thanks

[@colemohr6094]

Wow that sucks that Mark could not find his bull. Hats off to him for punching his tag and to the show for showing the full story and not cutting it out. Love watching these while I am on lunch break here at work. Keep up the great work!!!

[@troybennett4398]

I love the series! I’ve been having my son watch it with me and it’s helping me show that you don’t always see or hear elk while you’re out hunting elk! Thank you so much

[@adamruehlen4901]

I really liked that you showed and talked about the difficulty of hunting. There are so many ups and downs and it’s good to see these guys have those struggles that we all have. Great work.

[@midwestoutwest6812]

Speaks volumes to your integrity Mark. As always, appreciate the hard work for all of us.

[@tonyharris6162]

The Skousen brothers are pretty cool hunters . True hunters , great show of character , true conservationists. Hats off to you Mark . Great example of being the best kind of hunter , a responsible one !

[@devinbarker6823]

So much respect for the S brothers. The way the hunt has to be super hard and the way they respect the animals is fantastic. Glad they are apart of this series.

[@lmuench7188]

Great season! I enjoy the different team dynamics, terrain, weather, calling techniques, modes of transportation. A lot to learn and thanks for providing it. Best of luck next season!

[@markvonderharr651]

Thank you for sharing Mark's heartbreaking experience. To often we only see the successful outcomes, and we don't the the mishaps and failures. This is the video version of the Ethics column in the RMEF Bugle Magazine. Thank you for sharing the LOWS with the HIGHS.

[@mattwagner3340]

Every season of destination elk has great footage. This year hasn't disappointed. From Corey shooting a bull while fighting. Jeff and Mark with their up close encounter to the massive herd they saw. Ford having a raghorn come through while he is giving a recap. Just awesome this year. It was also cool to see bulls bugle in a weak or lighter tone. Lastly much respect to Mark for punching his tag even though he didn't drop the elk. Class act

[@wyodanjar8170]

Thanks for bringing another authentic episode that brings to life archery elk hunting with its ups and downs.

[@michaelkilpatrick3076]

I think if everything was a given in our world it wouldn't be hunting. But hats off to all you guys for remaining positive and going after it! Awesome!! My heart went out to Mark! Thanks for sharing the good with the bad.

[@jonathanpoquette1798]

Mark, we have all been there. By notching your tag, you demonstrate your true respect for these animals and our role as hunters.

[@hawkhilladventures5601]

Really appreciate Mark's character, notching the tag speaks more than words to the quality of the man.

[@chadevertsen764]

Good on you Mark, I hope you’ll see this. Top notch ethical hunter. Wish all hunters were like you. I don’t know you but highly respect you and your decision to notch your tag 👍🏻

[@kennethgairrett398]

That water filtration system was pretty sweet, definitely gonna check it out....and watching the horses packing the brothers out with their bull was a scene out of a dream!

[@corymumford-zm5jd]

The effort put into this series is nothing but top notch. The hours of editing is truly amazing! A huge shout out to the staff behind the scenes!

[@tylerberan4265]

Not surprised Mark notched his tag in that situation. You can tell the character of a Man he and his brother are and wish there were more people like that in the woods and mountains! Kudos!! Keep your head up and get em next time!!

[@patrick.m.92]

Such class from the team punching their tag. Its always unfortunate seeing thatbscenario happen, but its always great seeing how ethical the teams are. They certainly have all the respect in the world for these animals and the personal responsibility of a true hunter.

[@luketegels7768]

That rainforest in Oregon seems like another world, I can’t believe how thick it is. Thanks for letting us see it with you!

[@LanceLeeOutdoors]

I've binged all 5 seasons of destination elk in the past 6 months, and I love this format the best! Great change guys!

[@imjamn5]

Wow!!!! That last bull sounded awesome!!!! Another cliff hanger!!! Thanks you for sharing the whole experience!!!🙌🏼👏🏼🔥 can’t wait for the next episode! I have my shirt ! 🙌🏼👏🏼🔥

[@TRAVISDAGENHART]

So sorry that Mark did not find his Bull. The challenges of a blood trail can be grueling at times and so frustrating. Loved the hunting experience all in all. Great job Mark :))

[@jamesbarnes7689]

A lot of respect for Mark, punching his tag. And truth is bull could have easily survived. Alot of respect also to all of the guys , cameramen too. Hiking and hunting in that terrain isn't easy. So obviously a lot of work put in to get in shape to hunt the way you do. Another great episode.

[@joshbaldridge2256]

Can’t wait to get out in September. Just now really learning enough to have some confidence after 3 years. The lessons shared here are very helpful! You are all also great representatives of the hunting community. Keep it up!

[@waltermcdonald933]

Great video, it's refreshing to see mistakes. Everyone makes them, has gone through the heart wrenching bad shots. But it's good to show that everyone is human. Mark did it right doing everything he could for recovery then punching his tag... RESPECT!!!

[@stevecrader3479]

Punching that tag was ethics at a high level. With the experience the Skousens have, I'm sure few people would have questioned a decision to call it a non-lethal shot and continue but they hold themselves accountable to a higher level than that. Well done sir!

[@douglasdegroot588]

I really enjoy watching the Skousens bow hunt the open country. I think it’s the hardest terrain to bow hunt and I definitely learn from watching them👍🏻

[@jefffeist8165]

Dang that’s tough luck for the Skousen’s. I tip my hat to em for their ethics and their awesome content on the show. Awesome calling action from Angey Spike!

[@travisnelson8591]

As always loved the episode. Hat off to Mark for notching his tag. I know a lot of people that would not do that. It shows how much he cares and loves these amazing animals we get to encounter and hunt. I feel I need to buy into the elk 101 university. I have been hunting for years but I love hearing the things you do and try when the hunts get hard. Thanks for the amazing footage I know it’s not easy. You and your camera guys are great.

[@ryanstarr6821]

Hate to see Marks hunt is over but love his level of integrity. Great role model for younger hunters.

[@denydjock2257]

Wow, what great action. So nice to see all the bulls out and talking. Marks shoot shows that we all need to check our equipment daily. And, practice on a moving target is always good to practice for leading your shout. It stops those back gut shots. I can't believe that Marks bull didn't go down on that shot. Sometimes bulls just don't stop. Great job guys! Can't wait for the next episode and more Donnie jokes.

[@brycetd7787]

So refreshing to see the quality of man in the twins, I'll happily support this brother afield anytime! Come out to Oregon anytime you want to join!

[@ryangreenlee7242]

Skousen team, class act. I did the same thing 3 years ago. It hurts, but you know you made the right call. Sometimes it doesn't go the way we want it even though we've put some much time into preparing for this moment all year. For most of us, we only get the weekends or a maybe a week during archery season and when we make a mistake it feels like all that preparation was ruined in a matter of seconds. Happens to new hunters and veterans just the same. Learn from your mistakes and keep at it! Love the videos!

[@codyrolshoven8181]

Have a lot of respect for Mark making the call to still punch his tag. So much more effort, time, and money put into non-resident tags. At least they got to see the herd again.

[@jeffpeterson1428]

Dang. Was hoping for a better outcome for Mark. Hats off to him for punching his tag. Looking forward to Cory catching up to the bull in Oregon. What a cat and mouse chase that has been. Looking forward to next weeks episodes!

[@marcmckinney797]

Those Skousen boys are awesome hunters and horsemen. They make the horse work look easy and smooth!

[@royhoglund1322]

Pretty tough luck to have a shot go down like that. That video really showed the highs and lows of bowhunting. Having some distance between the caller and the shooter is money! Great strategy for success. Thanks for sharing!

[@unclebill1428]

Great Show.Always great to see everyone get out to fill there tags.And tanx for the update on scammers.Had my card scammed so now waiting for a new one.tanx again for GREAT episodes.

[@lindyrueb8838]

Great sportsmanship! It is so unfortunate to do everything right and have it not work out. I'm sure Mark will be hungry for it next season. Thank you for setting a precedent for other elk hunters to live up to.

[@angelalambright1160]

Skousen brothers are just a class act. This is the reality of archery hunting and they handled it well.

[@alanchristiansen4507]

Real hunts, real results! They don't always turn out how we want them to! Great job showing everything that happens in the field!

[@rchunter4rax896]

I felt so bad for Mark. I remember when I was learning to hunt I made a few bad shots throughout a few years which I wasn't proud of. I had made yet another bad shot and was in the same frame of mind to just notch my tag. While sitting down eating my sandwich I heard the death call of my very 1st bull. Seeing Mark talk about his shot placement brought back this moment for me. I'll never forget that. Good job Mark, shows what a great hunter you are. Not everyone would do that.

[@leonwells9953]

Man what a bummer for Mark on his bull. Team Angry Spike is hunting some seriously thick and steep country but what a great episode all around. Looking forward to the next one.

[@ShawnTKunkel]

Home sick from work today as well, getting caught up on Destination Elk V5. I also recently discovered the Elk Talk podcast. Makes for an easier commute to and from work for sure. Thank you!

[@shawnmcbeth909]

oh man, sorry mark, I thought you guys would have found him, as i was looking foward to see him in your hands. thank you so much for being real and showing real stuff rather than just cutting it out. hope you get the monster one next season!

[@bobpalmore9748]

The amount of class act people that elk 101 has brought in and surrounds themselves in is super impressive!

[@BuglingBullz]

What a let down for Mark! Class act though, to notch his tag. Thanks for all the work on bringing us another great episode. Keep it up!

[@adventureswithsquatch.1465]

All of you guys are true inspiration to the hunting community. And do a amazing job representing us!

[@Shelby662Boss302]

What a bummer. I really thought Mark and Jeff were going to find that bull. But that's hunting unfortunately. Just never know. Definitely a stand up guy considering his tag filled. I really enjoyed getting to watch you hunt Mark and Jeff.

[@MrJfk22]

We are all human. We all make mistakes.... a guy can practice practice practice, and shoot thousands of arrows, things happen it’s what we learn from and make us all better as hunters. It’s good you guys show that even you guys as “professional” it happens. Top notch. Thanks for everything love the shoes

[@dannyvlanich7923]

Feel bad that Mark wasn't able to find his bull. Great respect to hunting community and the elk by punching his tag and moving on. Great episode!

[@troyneubauer9031]

Great job guys. Always nice to see guys who put in the effort and time fill tags. Awesome.

[@austinsmith6875]

Thanks for taking the time and effort to film, edit and produce this show! It’s loved by many!

[@davidrector5361]

Corey is going to have to have some Twix up his sleeves if he keeps going solo! haha. Great episode! Kudos to Mark! Angry Spike really gets after the elk. Really enjoying this season.

[@darrenshank9716]

I really enjoyed watching the Skousens this season. Definitely not how anyone wanted it to end, but Mark has my deepest respect for the way he handled this situation.

[@zachsichley952]

Another great Episode! Thanks so much for all you guys do to create quality elk hunting content! I feel bad for Mark as things happen that are out of our control no matter how much time we put in and have the utmost respect for him as a hunter.

[@jasonkunde8783]

Had that same experience this year. Tough animals and sometimes doesn’t matter how close you get. Getting through the shoulder sometimes isn’t possible. Great video.

[@corydevine7835]

Another good episode. Was hoping Mark could find his bull. Good footage of you and the Peax tent Corey. Pretty cool

[@benwheelwright6102]

Such a cool encounter for the Skousen boys with those elk! Tough loss though with that bull. Thanks for setting a good example and showing the respect for the chase and your integrity.

[@kraigcober5849]

Tough pill to swallow Mark, but cutting your tag on this hunt really shows the kind of hunter you are. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to the next episode!

[@thadberrett8055]

Skousen brothers continue to be great to watch. Patience in the middle of herd and ethics to punch that tag. What an experience.

[@barrybright4234]

Thanks for keeping it real! Mark is a true sportsman to tap out. Thanks for taking us along!

[@zachshields79]

It’s the little things that I like when watching these videos. For me the strategy for success at the end of each one is what I believe makes me a better hunter. It might be little things but to me the little things is what plays the biggest role when it’s crunch time thank you all.

[@mattsilva6827]

Tough day for Mark. We have seen a few times on Destination Elk where one of the hunters hits a bull but doesn't find it. Just goes to show the character of the hunters in the series. Keep up the good work.

[@rbop2318]

Such great coverage and detail throughout this episode. Thanks for the level of detail.

[@lazercod]

Amazing episode! Much respect for Mark to notch his tag! We all can learn from this! Thank you!

[@stephenbateman9050]

Love the dad joke Donnie. Respect Mark for punching his tag. Great episode.

[@joeysimmons5692]

Love Oregon ELK hunting been talking with my hunting partner thinking bull is gone and look up the hill and bam there's ELK looking at us. Good luck Cory. Iam there with you brother.

[@briankeaveney1880]

Another great show guys, you always show the highs and the lows of what hunting is truly like. Cant wait for the next episode to drop.

[@brad-2024]

Tough break but classy and respectable! Lots of other wouldn't have done that. Much respect Mark!

[@samuelpierson6649]

Tough pill to swallow for team Skausen! Lots of respect for his decision to notch his tag.

[@bucksnortoutdoors6589]

It’s gut wrenching to lose and animal but everyone that has hunted long enough has been there. It’s powerful to see that on film, most shows cut it out opting to only show the hero’s ending. Thank you for that, also thanks for always showing us the gear you are using. I’m a gear junkie and am always intrigued with new stuff that can up my game.

[@gregchatham3890]

Awesome hunt guy and hate it so much for Team Scousen not recovering their bull! Great hunting with the rest of the teams and looking forward to the next episode! Also thanks to All the sponsors!

[@gabewalsh6610]

Love watching these guys. These guys hunt the right way and I have found a lot of their tips and tactics to be really helpful

[@magicalinspiration5721]

Sorry it didn't work out Mark but very respectful and ethical to punch your tag. Great episode and can't wait tell the next! Definitely gives me something to look forward to during long school weeks.

[@vancekennedy3129]

Great episode!!! Tough one for Mark. I feel Lenny would’ve no doubt had a better chance at the bull given he had a guy hanging back calling. Angry spike is gonna get another one they are banging on that door hard!

[@jeffbitton1836]

Love how "real" this is - some shots aren't perfect, some animals aren't recovered. Another great episode!

[@1thisguy279]

That's unfortunate for Mark, love the character he showed and all the ups and downs y'all portray through the series. Cory definitely shows the importance of constantly checking wind.

[@michaelmullis9830]

Tough break for team Skousen. It happens to all of us at some point and It is definitely never easy when your shot doesn’t hit where you hope. Great job overall and keep it up!

[@derrickholman4854]

Very stand-up move by Mark and just demonstrates his respect for the animal. It was great to see Lenny with an opportunity however it shows the true benefits of the 2 man setup. Overall another great episode though and I can't wait for Tuesday.

[@donaldturner5124]

When the guy ask do you see that cow looking at us I whispered “yea”! Ha Ha! 23 minute mark. You guys hunting in that thick stuff have to get in super close, you really have some archery skills to pull that off!

[@carlhancock2549]

Another great episode. Man, that Oregon territory is crazy thick...that's got to be some challenging hunting.

[@kinesiooutdoors]

The Skousens are great guys, notching your tag on a seemingly healthy bull shows a lot of respect for the animal!

[@TylerBrooks-el8xo]

First watched this at 2 am with our newest little hunter. Grateful for DEV5 to give me something exciting to watch during those early morning feedings

[@MrGphelan]

Dang it! Feel so bad for Mark. These are some great episodes. Way to show the highs and lows of archery elk hunting. 👊🏻

[@nathanc.2641]

It is great to see the respect you all have for these animals and how you have all learned so much about them.
