[@slingin_stickz986]

I am still team Oregon!! Corey Ford!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@MichaelRuetty]

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

[@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.

[@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…. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@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!

[@hawkhilladventures5601]

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

[@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.

[@billyelswick6473]

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

[@_MarkEdwards]

Thank you guys for putting out quality content. I keep learning something new every time I watch you guys. You guys are great!

[@jonathanpoquette1798]

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

[@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.

[@todddorsey9395]

As bad as I feel for Mark I can only imagine how he feels. I sure have been enjoying these videos. Waiting on Tuesday 😊

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@midwestoutwest6812]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@angelalambright1160]

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

[@ryanstarr6821]

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

[@patrickmilward9523]

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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 :))

[@wyodanjar8170]

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

[@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.

[@zacharynielsen1658]

Watching Team Angry Spike walk through that thick forest with an arrow knocked gives me the willies every time.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@bobpalmore9748]

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

[@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.

[@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 👍🏻

[@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!

[@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!

[@marcmckinney797]

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

[@mikepeters2756]

Mark not filling his tagged is a bummer but I feel like thats what makes this series special. It's elk hunting and its unpredictable and no matter how good or experienced we are things just happen. The highs and even the lows is what keeps us coming back for more!

[@stephenbateman9050]

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

[@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

[@samuelpierson6649]

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

[@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👍🏻

[@kinesiooutdoors]

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

[@nicktoyn]

I love that this IS elk hunting. The highs are high, and the lows are lows. Another great episode gents!

[@johnl7593]

I have to say I’ve really grown to like team Skousen. Totally respect Mark punching his tag!

[@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!!!

[@hookednruttin1333]

Toughest situation when an arrow is in an elk but you see that it isn’t lethal. I relate to the feeling! Great episode

[@jeffbitton1836]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@chrisbare3181]

So many aspects of elk hunting get explored in this series-the good, bad, and the ugly. Well done, gents 🙏🏼

[@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.

[@barrybright4234]

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

[@adventureswithsquatch.1465]

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

[@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 ! 🙌🏼👏🏼🔥

[@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.

[@MrGphelan]

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

[@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.

[@brad-2024]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@LoveMountainAdventures]

Sorry that things didn’t go exactly as planned for Mark…that’s why we call it hunting! Great job fellas, keep up the hard work.

[@drewsayer1122]

Lots of respect for a guy that notches a tag on an unrecovered animal.

[@jandiceester-xk9dp]

Man, that’s a tough one for Mark but what incredible character to notch his tag. I have some incredible respect for these camera men who do it all.

[@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!

[@joshcochran1852]

Dang that sucks Marks shot wasn’t fatal, but that was one of the craziest hunts I have seen to be that close to that many rutting elk. Thank you for the footage and allowing us to share the ups and downs with all of you.

[@heithhinds4396]

Cory Ford's drive through all that vegetation is monstrous! Definitely getting a lot cooler footage this season of him getting through all the landscape. Unfortunate experience for the Skousens to not harvest that bull....I definitely understand how frustrating that experience can be

[@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!

[@benjaminstoltzfus133]

Tons of respect for notching that tag! People like this are few and far between. Keep the content coming.

[@kengreene7899]

Man, hate it when your preparation goes out the window. Hats off to Mark for no excuses! Way to just call it like it was.

[@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!

[@lazercod]

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

[@bradfischer1731]

Hats off to Mark, tough to end the season that way, but lots of respect. Love all the action, thanks again!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@brianhollis1149]

I feel so bad for Mark as you put in all the hard work and preparation for a hunt and are unable to recover your bull. Elk 101 is a great learning platform to not only learn how to become a better elk hunter, but also how to be a better and respectful person/hunter. I love watching these videos and reading the comments and it's refreshing to see how many ethical hunters are still out there. Your good ethics will be rewarded.

[@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.

[@colinkuxhaus2927]

Alot of respect for him punching his tag. Just a part of hunting that will happen to us all.

[@gregbetts9568]

Good decision by Mark to notch his tag, even without finding his bull. That shows character!

[@mattahrens9149]

After seeing what this episode's title was I just assumed the Skousens found their 2nd bull. Last episode ends on a cliffhanger and then this one has an unfortunate twist in it. The ensuing display of integrity in this episode was fantastic, we need more of that in this form of media. I worry as the world gets more outspoken that our hunters will be too. Let's stay humble.

[@gregsadventures973]

A bad outcome for the Skousen Bros. Much respect thou for punching his tag. The bad part of Archery hunting that haunts some of us. Thanks for showing the viewers this.

[@mattharkness6697]

Wow. So disappointed for Mark. But impressed with him as well. Punching your tag in a situation like that says a lot about the person he is. Great job Mark. Thanks guys for showing all the highs and lows that we all experience when hunting.

[@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!

[@loganstites9617]

These are great episodes mark did something most hunters wouldn’t do by notching that tag. The brothers are a great team

[@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.

[@jeffhumphrey7399]

I am one who packs in on horses with a bow, I really enjoy having the a team on horses. Very ethical to tag out on that bull

[@drewouderkirk5385]

Hate to see Mark not recover that bull. Was really hoping they'd still be able to find it. Have a lot of respect for him punching his tag anyways. I've run into a lot of guys that wouldn't have. Great episode

[@danielthompson6174]

That’s a tough feeling watching an elk get away like that. But props to Mark for punching his tag and being such an ethical hunter!

[@jayshaw20]

Great episode guys! It’s a bummer that Mark didn’t get his hands on that bull but it’s pretty awesome that he tagged it anyway. Class act!

[@hunterbydesign]

Great show! The Skousen hunt was insane, those elk looked like ants on that hillside! I appreciate the honesty in the show and while a very disappointing ending to that particular hunt, many props for keeping it real. Also, Was sharing dad jokes with the youth group I lead at church, so Donnie’s jokes are getting eye rolls way beyond the show 😊

[@ILOVEBoobies112]

That feels like a punch in the gut when you notch your tag and come out empty handed. Skousens put in a lot of work and had a great year though props to them.

[@jamesallinger1059]

Always tough to bear when you can’t find an animal you hit. Luckily you were able to see him back in the herd doing elk things. Hope he makes it to next year. Hats off to you for doing what you think is best in your eyes. Not everyone thinks the same but love the respect for the game. Keep up the great work.
