THE BIGGEST BULL OF MY LIFE - Washington Public Land Elk Hunt | 2022 Hunting Season EP.27

[@stevehershberger2672]

In our cynical world where superficiality, deception and illusion are somehow celebrated and rewarded, it's refreshing to see genuine emotion and the culmination of goals and hard work pay off. Don't ever apologize for being human Samong..God bless.

[@treasurestatetarantulas406]

Well said

[@SamongOutdoors]

Thank you, Steve! I truly appreciate your positive words! Can't thank you enough.

[@mikemcdonald2755]

Congratulations! Don't ever apologize for the emotions! That part of why we all do it. Always give respect and gratitude for your harvest to God!

[@CPM_1975]

I really enjoy your videos very much, especially the genuine enthusiasm when you make a good shot to harvest an animal. Job well done! A quick question: Where did you get the rest for the rear part of the stock. I already have a bipod looking for something similar to steady the back part of the stock. Thanks

[@SamongOutdoors]

Thanks! I just order my rear rest online - Rugged Ridge Outdoors Rear Rest.

[@adamvandenoever2277]

Appreciate the shout out bud. Your raw emotion got me teary eyed too. Lol. You told me the story but watching it was another level. Cant wait to bring him back together for you.

[@SamongOutdoors]

Thanks Adam! My excitement to get this bull on the wall is through the roof but our other projects are even more exciting!

[@bonher69]

Your work appears superb and i trust samong’s recommendation…An estimate of the cost would be greatly appreciated for such bull? Can’t wait to see the wall mount!

[@SamongOutdoors]

@@bonher69 Check out his website in the description! He has all of his prices for all sorts of animals and types of mounts there! Appreciate you watching, brother!

[@bencarver1902]

Awesome bull man! Love the content! And as far as Elusive Creatures goes, don’t hesitate! I took my buck to Adam a few years ago, dude does amazing work! Top notch taxidermy!

[@iangoodbla7054]

For you to show your emotion when you found him just shows how much you love hunting and the heart you have and the kind of human being you are. Thank you for always sharing the real thing man! Congratulations on a giant and thank you for inspiring me to be a better human and hunter!

[@michaelsiengo1]

I will say this I am 51 years old. I have taken a few elk and I have watched hundreds of elk hunting videos and your video is by far one of the best I have ever seen with the editing and content well done a great job smokin a beast on public land that in itself is Pimp level seven.

[@tomlarue654]

Yes young man! You deserve that beautiful bull. You are an excellent hunter and a outstanding young man. Your parents did an outstanding job raising you.

[@ericmiller4250]

So many idiots now days using pee shooters,,it's legal yes but generally more lost game from being unethical

[@SamongOutdoors]

So I missed him on the first shot, and then double lunged him on the second shot. He made it 30 yards after hitting him. How is that too far from a clean kill?

[@truckinglife5678]

I really love How your whole family comes together to help.

[@SamongOutdoors]

So blessed for a family like that!

[@tomly226]

As we grow old, there is not much that excite us as the way we use to get excited as kids. So, I can understand the tears of joy you felt upon walking up to your bull elk, especially being a hunter myself. The hard work, time and dedication it takes to get an opportunity is slim to none. I very much appreciate your devotion to putting out awesome content!!! A million congratulations brother!!!

[@SamongOutdoors]

Thank you so much man! I appreciate that so much!

[@VangYang9981]

Legit bro. Amazing emotions of joy and praise for the Fathers blessing.

[@skidooklimer]

The emotion shows the appreciation and gratitude. Don't ever apologize for that. Congrats man!

[@reggierico]

There is a misconception among some not familiar with elk hunting in the mountains and that is just how difficult and arduous these hunts can be, even if you don't end up packing meat out. I've packed out three elk by myself and it took hours and multiple trips. The relief and release of emotions after finding a downed animal is also a unique experience. We feel joy, satisfaction, and even some sadness and remorse for taking such a beautiful animal. Great job, you guys never cease to amaze me, you are outstanding hunters. Well done!

[@stevenrafters7817]

You are a true hunter man. The emotion is why we hunt

[@henrymonster9926]

Dude was going to give his cousin the shot too, karma, well deserved. The more I watch your videos the more I realize these videos are less about the hunt and more about you out in the woods with family/friends enjoying life and appreciating the outdoors.

[@j.c.316]

Congrats bro! & Glory to God. I’m a local eastern WA hunter. I’ll keep seeking every attempt that I can to continue to hunt these lands. The Lord blessed your family with a marvelous harvest. Psalms 50:10

[@brandonvaughan1918]

Congratulations, young man!! Don't be sorry for being emotional! It's an amazing roller coaster that us hunters are trying to get on and ride.

[@kestrelglassingsystems6704]

I know few hunters who work harder and deserve this bull more than you, Samong. Well done!

[@Tom_Monahan]

Congratulations Samong! I was born and raised in Spokane and hunted almost every year until my mid 30’sin NE Washington, that’s one of the best bulls I’ve ever seen outside the Blues. Makes me miss home. Congratulations again dude!

[@SamongOutdoors]

Thanks man! I can only wish to get drawn in the Blues one day!

[@vadenk4433]

As a hunter who’s hunted NE Washington since I was 9 I know what an accomplishment this is. Congratulations. Even seeing a elk is a hard feat in Steven’s, Pend Oreille, or Ferry county

[@leeannamaiyang5495]

I have never been so happy for you Samong. I cried with you. You deserved it. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us.

[@jbandjojo]

Your emotions shows your true passion. That is the reason why we hunt. Congratulations on the magnificent bull.

[@norronlee4945]

There seems to be a calm appreciation through your escapades. My first viewing of your hunting prowess. Have loved the fishing vids for a couple years.

[@matthewrehak2574]

Hands down coolest hunting channel Ive come across.

[@jmmorris6364]

All good gifts come down from the Father of Lights! It is encouraging to see someone who works so hard give the glory to God. Well done! These films get me excited for the upcoming season!

[@peterschryver]

Fantastic hunt Samong! I think this is your best video production ever. 😊 Glad you didn’t edit out the raw emotion you felt when you found your bull. I think any respectable hunter can appreciate how you felt, when that magnificent animal appeared out of the tangle of brush and darkness. Congratulations to you, and your family on a fruitful hunt on the mountain!

[@BMCBryce]

Holy crap!!! What a bull man. Congratulations. I absolutely loved seeing how the entire family was there to help with the packout and how you explained the distribution of the meat. What a beautiful thing. You did an incredible job documenting this hunt. Fantastic adventure. Wonderful story. Beautiful video. Congratulations again!

[@SamongOutdoors]

Thanks Bryce! Your bull is a stud too!

[@gb3450]

He was mentioned at a WDFW seminar. Yes. It was anti hunting seminar. He and his entire family were described as hunting for fun, covering the forest like a gillnet. And very efficiently. He definitely seems like an accomplished hunter. Seems like a very nice kid. Not sure its a positive thing. WDFW activist certainly made it clear they do not care about hunter tags sales when they have a surplus in general fund. We are screwed. This guy is their point. We lost spring bear and this guys is partially to blame. Highlights the efficiency of modern equipment, spanning the forest in large groups and modern rifles. We are screwed with these WDFW activists.

[@SamongOutdoors]

@@gb3450 Do you have a link to the seminar?

[@gb3450]

@@SamongOutdoors I will try and find it. It was a sponsored by Center for Biology Diversity. Two ladies on WDFW board were guest speakers, which drew my attention to it. We will never have a spring bear hunt again. And we will lose every fight in support of hunters if this is not resolved. They don’t care about us or our money. Your celebrations and appearances of over harvest was highlighted in the seminar. It sold that you hunt in a blanket group of up to 20 hunters and harvest everything, everywhere you can. I don’t believe their facts, but it definitely is worth asking. Since I have you here. Does anything walk or you kill anything and everything? Just asking. You seem like a very nice kid from a good family, so literally just asking.

[@BMCBryce]

@@gb3450 Are you serious? Are you really asking Samong if he kills everything he sees? Have you watched any of his videos? Including this one you commented on? That’s one the stupidest thing I have ever seen someone say. Clearly you do not have any idea what you’re talking about. If you’re being sincere, than you need to back up and see what Samong is all about. He is NOT all about just “blanket hunting” as you described. Come on man. Be better than that.

[@thomasarnold5948]

Hands down, the best hunting video I've seen period! You captured it all... the lows of almost not finding the bull, to the highs and outpouring of emotion when you did. You have to work so hard for the remote possibility of an opportunity and the fact the you recognize that and are so humble makes us all a fan. This video encapsulated why we love to hunt!

[@michaelpool5929]

Well done sir. You are truly blessed and have become a top ambassador for us, the hunting community.

[@SamongOutdoors]

Thank you! That means so much to hear!

[@Hunt4fun96]

Packing a bull out of thick and rough country always makes me realize how good big bulls are at getting around the mountian. They make it look easy! Great bull!

[@mikesanders4488]

Awful hard to find a downed Elk in the daylight, night time is disaster...Congrats on your dedication. As a 70 year old carrying my share of one hindquarter for 3.2 miles this year, always makes me feel like you did at the end of your carry...Enjoy that struggle as it will always be remembered more than the shot and everyone's day's for doing that labor of love are numbered. By the way...very, very nice camerawork.

[@williamcooke6056]

I've watched you hunt hard, year after year. If you don't deserve that bull, Samong, no one does! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing!

I’ve watched a lot of hunting videos, but this is one of the best. It’s so cool that so much of your family was there with you. Congratulations!

Thanks for not editing out your emotions. That is what hunting truly is.

“Enjoy the suck”. Love it, may we all be there sooner than later. Congratulations on a stud bull.

Hello, Sumong. My husband and I just got to watch this harvest of your amazing bull! There are two things I want to compliment you on. I love that you a-knowledge God! He is worthy of our praise in all times!! And you produce fun and enjoyable, along with quality films consistently!! My husband praises your films highly! Our son and his wife have recently begun a media venture with “Mountain Built”. We hunt family style also. God, family and hunting just go together in our heritage!! God bless you, your family and your ventures!! Tom and Hilda Younker

[@willong1000]

By way of their Bighorn ram hunting video, I have recently made online acquaintance with J & A; and, I hope to meet them in person before too many seasons have passed. As with Samong's family, I can see that familial influence worked positively in both of their lives. Well done Hilda and Tom! Moreover, I'm sure it is not lost on you how blessed J is for having found such a life partner as A.

[@BoYounker]

@@willong1000 Will, thank you!! As a parent that is such a nice thing to hear! My husband and I both come from strong families that have chosen love and closeness. We are so blessed that God placed such amazing daughter in laws in both of our sons lives! We are very proud of what they have allowed God to do in their lives!!!! All four of them are treasures to us, and now Jason's younger brother, Bo, has given us two more to add to our joy! Thanks again, and may God's blessings in your life, be abundantly recognized!

Congratulations man! You can tell how hard you worked for and wanted that bull by your reaction. Non hunters will never understand the emotions involved. I teared up a bit watching

[@brianvw5301]

Nice work dude, I love all the photos with family that you sometimes have at the end of your videos. What a special moment for everyone!

[@OG_Outdoorz]

You demonstrated for all to see, why we love to hunt. Preparation, hard work and that final thrill of holding these magnificent creatures that God has blessed us with is the culmination of all who came before us and those who'll reminisce about the day they got to share your Hunt with you. Kudos to you, young man.

Wow! I'm speechless man, out of all your hunts that I've watched, this one really got my adrenaline pumping when you were setting up for that shot. Amazing job man, after that long day you were blessed with a beautiful Bull and all I got to say is well done Samong... well done. Although we didn't get to see the shot, one thing I would like to remind you is that your hunt comes first. We are here to enjoy your experiencing and knowledge by watching your videos regardless if you get that shot on camera or not. Once again, Amazing job man, I really felt those tears.

[@stephenrothenberg688]

I’m a new sub and am just letting all the videos play. I watch one where there is no opportunity for Samong to take a shot and then this one pops up. Not sure how but this guy has me invested at his point and I feel like I’m there with him. Then he tags one, finds it, and let’s loose with REAL emotion. I about damn joined him in that too. So glad I subbed and can’t wait to see more of these. I know this is old, but well done!!

No need to apologize for the emotion, you captured the moment perfectly and I was right there with you. I can imagine the power in that moment. Take care and God Bless you and your family.

[@johnnash5118]

Congratulations on your bull Samong! It's amazing how loud these bulls can be while browsing through the woods. I hunt Blacktails and Roosevelts in the Western Oregon Trask unit. Two buck seasons ago on the last day and 5 days before elk season, I was still-hunting toward my stand behind an old fallen log when I heard obnoxious rustling through the forest undergrowth about 60 yards away and @20 yards in the forest, I thought who would be making so much noise and I was actually annoyed at it; but to my surprise, out pops two bulls, a young 4x5 and a 5x5 casually browsing on vine maple and huckleberry. I videoed the whole encounter on my phone, but I haven't seen them since. This year, I hunted the adjacent valley and found where 6 or more cows and a real nice 4x5 buck (seen during bull elk season) like to hang out, can't wait for next year, hopefully I'll see them during their respective buck and bull seasons. I'll be 60 then going on 41. Never Stop!

[@severalothers]

That was your moment, you deserved a happiness cry. Awesome job. Incredible bull.

Some of your gear I would like to know more about. If you wouldn't mind very briefly talking about them and why you use it either in the video or the descriptions below.
