Since watching this series I decided to take up hiking to get in shape--its been an uphill battle!😊

[@deerloversheridan3038]

Try downhill then

[@jamesd5014]

😂

[@kqc8224]

That was almost painful 😂

[@claytonb7915]

Didn’t see this coming!

[@dereklizotte6961]

Elk hunting definitely has its up and downs!

[@ryanprather2710]

Got some bad news about a family member last night. Had a rough day waiting on doctors and test results to come in. When I remember it was destination elk night it definitely helped. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to bring us all on your adventures!

[@jcjcarnes]

Hope everything is ok prayers

[@TRAVISDAGENHART]

The challenges of hunting in a warm season with the lack of Elk interaction can be frustrating. You all have done a great job in sharing in your experiences and showing the true challenges of trying to get the Elk to talk. I appreciate how you show your true passion for nature.

[@davidbush-hh3zv]

One thing I appreciate from all the teams is their positive attitude. No matter how grueling the hunt is, you’re still hunting and it’s supposed to be fun. I’m watching with my son who will start big game hunting this fall and I can’t imagine better role models.

[@mattpeters8483]

Corey, your reaction when Donnie is delivering his dad joke is great. Makes it a team effort. Fun to watch you guys, sad knowing the end of the series is coming up quick.

[@kylerich3606]

Does anyone else feel like this season of destination elk has flown by!! All sorts of excitement in the next episode it looks like! Also thanks to all the guys who participated I have learned so much from everyone!!!!

[@matthewbriggs2171]

My son soon to be 4 was just singing your opening montage. Year after year, my family has enjoyed immersion into the elk hunting experience with you guys. Hoping the family continues to grow to appreciate the outdoors the way we do.

[@robc3580]

Man, this season’s really shown how tough this elk hunting game is. I can feel the excitement when a bugle’s heard and then commiserate when wind gets weird or the bull jumps a river… What a ride DEV5 has been!

[@evergreenfoam]

So many cliff hangers this year. Thanks for putting a great year together for us to enjoy!

[@ChasingHeadgear]

I'm amazed with the perseverance and positive attitude of the Angry Spike crew. Being in bulls so many times and in most cases being unable to even see them in that dense vegitation has got to be tough to keep hammering on!

[@zachtarbet6574]

This years format for the videos has been great. It really shows the struggles of elk hunting and the excitement of how it just takes one encounter. Sometimes that wind it so hard in a new area, but it is nice to see how each one uses the wind.

[@mattahrens9149]

The subtle pride on Donnie's face after finishing his joke in the outro was hilarious.

[@9448]

Been hunting since i was nine years old here in Alabama. Turkeys, squirrels, rabbits,dove, Quail and started deer hunting when i got out of the Army, 1971 finally Drew a tag for elk in New Mexico 1998 and was hooked. Hunted Colorado fell in love with Elk Hunting. Never got one, called in several but never connected! Now soon to be 75 with health issues But made great memories.Love your Videos. God Bless!!

[@Dean-hy4nw]

Dean Kline, coming to the end. Cory in Oregon is sure having a tough go with the bulls. Bugling and walk away has also been something we have experienced. Kinda like Toms that are henned up during turkey season. But quiet bulls can be the most frustrating.

[@taylordavidson5199]

My favorite Donnie dad joke still has to be “Bigfoot is often confused with Sasquatch, Yeti doesn’t care” 😂

[@jimgappa6919]

The challenges that are being faced, it reminds me of ... "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink". In this case, "you can be in an area with elk, but you can't make them cooperate". It is interesting to see that you guys face the same challenges and struggles we all face. But, this big difference is the fact that you are trying to get it on video. Thanks, again, to the sponsors for allowing these guys to bring this content to us.

[@codysutherland5359]

You two for being in the “ little older age class” are studs! You guys hike lots of miles and out in the work. Keep up the good work!

[@michealbertelsen3928]

Getting down to the wire. Thank you to all the sponsors that allow us to watch Elk 101.

[@zachclark5875]

I think Tyler and Lenny just like hiking! They should get an award for miles traveled! Haha....I know that feeling though all to well.

[@Shelby662Boss302]

This captures elk hunting so well. Getting excited to finally hear a bugle then have the terrain and wind make it difficult to impossible to do anything. That's just elk hunting in a nut shell

[@andytillack6998]

Another great episode. Nothing like seeing Corey's face when he realized where the story at the end was going... well played!

[@mattessick9267]

Amazing how hard it is to play the wind in your favor plus the thermals. Seems like it’s always blowing the wrong way or switching at the wrong time. I learn something every time I get to watch one of the episodes. Thanks again for you guys and the sponsors!!!

[@zekewatkins1983]

Love the realistic portrayal of elk hunting. Some days it’s easy but most days are a grind.

[@themountainmindset2751]

Love the content. Thanks for all the effort in sharing it. These are getting me through these cold winter months in Utah. Can’t wait to get back out in the elk woods. I love the dad jokes too. The laughs we have in the elk woods are the best.

[@mattlawson770]

Can't believe it, this season flew by! Looking forward to the final episode tonight! Thanks for all you guys do and all the work that goes into each episode

[@johnbailey6022]

Elk hunting is like playing golf; when it’s good, you love it, but when it’s bad, you hate it!! The way it is with bow hunting elk in the heat. It can make for getting discouraged big time. Maybe if you’d drink some invisible ink, you could get closer to them bulls!!! Keep hammering!!

[@nickhetfeld5607]

Love watching the show. Thanks for putting this together. I can’t imagine how much time goes into all of this.

[@charliemack5072]

My favorite part of Donnie's dad jokes is watching Corey's body language during the set up before the punch line

[@susaningham505]

Love watching you guys hunt elk- I learn so much listening to you analyze your setups!

[@skylerpace2410]

Thank you for putting these episodes together. Enjoy seeing similar struggles from a different point of view.

[@charliewallish566]

On frustrating days it makes me appreciate the beauty of the landscape and just be glad I have the time off work and the health to be able to be out there

[@darinhubbard1636]

I respect the perseverance shown by all the hunters, especially the Team Elevation guys. It's good to see even the best hunters can have frustration and no luck but they aren't quitters and it's inspiring to see them keep going. I hope everyone tags out. Thanks again for all of the work and great content you're bringing us.

[@philipbowman9340]

Donnie that dad joke was one of my favorites to date! Another awesome episode thanks guys for bringing such raw and close up look and your hunts.

[@tonykennedy4969]

Thanks for another great episode of everyone getting after it. Donnie after you ingested the invisible ink, the ER looked you over and they could not see a thing...😂😂

[@blairstewart4492]

Best composition of videos on KZbin for elk hunting! Thanks team!!!! Great product

[@rogertrembly4911]

Persistence! The theme of this season. Everyone is working hard and sticking with it, adjusting plans as needed. Elk hunting through and through. Keep it up!

[@ChadEmmel03]

Another tough morning for the group. I laughed at my daughter last night. I was watching this episode just like I've watched most of them; in my bedroom after laying the kids down for the night. She came in and asked, "Dad, what are you watching?!? I keep hearing this noise sometimes from your room after I go to bed and don't know what it is." About that time, another bugle gets ripped. She figured it out pretty quick what I was watching. She rolled here eyes at me and went back to bed. 😆🤣

[@barrybright4234]

This is the best way to get your hunting fix in the middle of winter! Thanks for all your hard work.

[@steveclark3569]

Great explanation of being on the high ground vs wind and all elements. Thanks for a great episode again!

[@hawkhilladventures5601]

Pulling for the Pure Elevation crew, working hard and still smiling. I keep watching and realizing how much work I have to do coming back from knee surgery before elk season. Donny took Dad joke set up to another level! Lol

[@JeremyGilliam]

Another great episode! Love this series all the way from V1. Makes spring go by so much faster

[@angelalambright1160]

I am so invested in each of these teams and their stories! Love how positive everyone is despite the frustrations! This is showing the real aspects of archery hunting!

[@11tbone11]

Great episode. Awesome to see when the best struggle to find the Elk. Thanks for the great content Men!!!

[@waltermcdonald933]

I like watching the hunts unfold, then the sit down at the end with all talk/advice… valuable info. Great series

[@terryhershey3940]

A hearty thank you to all the sponsors who support destination elk and help all of us obsessed with chasing elk each fall with bow in hand to get through another winter by vicariously tagging along with each team on the daily grind of pursuing our dreams of tagging out.

[@michaelwhitney4]

Great "Dad Joke" and KUDOS to the cameramen in this series. Great camera shots of hunters and beautiful scenery. Till next time!!

[@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!

[@MontanaDad406]

These series have helped me become a better hunter. I thank you so much for sharing these episodes with us along with the recap and strategy for success. The information that's packed in these episodes are awesome. Thank you for sharing the chase with us all.

[@andystafford554]

Love it when you show the start of a day. Guys waking up getting ready in the dark/cold grabbing a little breakfast

[@jeffbaltzer9994]

I am really enjoying the struggles and seeing how the guys keep working hard and try to stay as positive as possible, great lessons for the elk woods. Thank you.

[@lunatico9596]

Another great cliffhanger! Can't wait for Thursday's episode! Looks like this season was tough on everyone. My family didn't get lucky either, it's been tough lately. Thank you for another great video, I learn a lot from these videos. Thank you!

[@imjamn5]

Another cliff hanger😅 thank you for sharing every moment because there are highs and lows in every hunt. Thank you for all the information for books and new classes! The dad joke was awesome with all the lead time🤣😂🙌🏼👏🏼! Keep them coming Donnie!

[@superduece2291]

It may sound kind of weird but I love seeing you guys struggle. Much more realistic than 10 different videos of everybody’s successful hunt

[@christophermeyer478]

Love the timing of this series just as the depression of non-hunting is sinking in, this digs me out and gets me thinking of the next one and what I need to do.

[@brad-2024]

This season has been amazing. My note book filled up quickly! Thanks guys! And thanks you to all your sponsors

[@douglasdegroot588]

Great episode. I love watching team elevation hunting up and down those “hills”. The breaks are serious country and. Those guys work so hard and have the best attitudes the whole way!

[@rbop2318]

Thanks for another great episode. The grind of the week long hunt is starting to show up on the teams. It's fantastic to see how each of them are coping with it on their search for cooperating elk.

[@randyping5661]

Great episode as it really shows what a lot of us, me, go through sometimes in the frustrations of the elk not cooperating. Everybody that hunts go through this I'm sure. Can't wait for the next episode as it looks like things finally get going. Keep up the good work!!!

[@buglemtn.spookers2.0]

The anticipation of the lake extraction is killing me! Come on Donnie, you're up!

[@richardhobbins7100]

Thanks for all the content you guys make! I got behind last week but the good news i get to elk binge this week!

[@tannerbranch7083]

After discovering your channel, I have been able to learn so much about elk hunting but also to make it possible for me to know a little before I go out this fall

[@ShawnTKunkel]

I feel like I learn something new every episode. Trying to be on the same level of the elk while calling them in is something I never would have thought of. Makes sense for so many reasons mentioned. Something else I can now pass on to my sons who are learning next to me. Thank you!

[@craigmcbrain4255]

It has been a great season. The different teams within each episode highlight different styles and terrain. It is educational and entertaining. Thanks!

[@charliewesser3271]

I appreciate the challenges each of the teams have experienced this season and the mental fortitude to keep innovating and pushing forward. Very motivating.

[@garrycraig6468]

I have learned so much by watching your videos. Wish I’d have started watching years ago when I started elk hunting. Can’t wait to see you retrieve an elk from the lake. 😅

[@wyowrxjb6432]

Gotta love some bow hiking when the bulls don't cooperate 🤣

[@hitmc6327]

Glad to see they can be difficult even for the pros. Thanks for showing the ups and the downs. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@BuglingBullz]

Thanks for another great episode. It's hard to stay motivated and focused when the temps are up and the elk aren't. Thanks for showing all of that. Great footage as always.

[@adventureswithsquatch.1465]

So glad I started watching you guys years ago. I've learned so much from you.

[@mylesbutt207]

Wow, some epic views with that coastal fog. Nothing better than the elk woods. Fantastic setup and delivery on the joke!! 😂

[@goosewacker]

I swear, you guys are having my typical elk season. I feel bad for you, but also good to know it is not just me.. Love that you have such great sponsors, and hope they continue their support, and hope all the fellow hunters continue to support them. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@jonrhoades5142]

Looks like your hunting is as hard as my rifle hunting in eastern WA! Thanks for the great videos. Really enjoy them!

[@commandosando1628]

Between Team Angry Spike, Pure Elevation and Elk101, this season has highlighted the perseverance required of archery elk hunters. All three teams experiencing their own unique difficulties and environmental obstacles but continuously pushing through day in and day out. Brutal. But perfectly depicts the grit and perseverance that real archery elk hunters have.

[@vancejohnson1778]

Another great episode!! Pumped to see Thursday, definitely the only way to get through the off season, counting down to elk season 👌

[@dangabor8569]

I like seeing everyone staying positive. I know it can be frustrating to keep getting close but just not close enough. Great job showing what it is truly like out there hunting.

[@frogmoss]

I am really enjoying Destination Elk V5! The quality and editing of the videos are AMAZING! Great work John!!!

[@SuperCjohnson3]

You have to love the grind of elk season! It always disappears in a blink of an eye. And you just never know when it’s might get wild.

[@coloradophil1622]

Another great episode Thanks for all your team's giving out such good info on different subjects 👍

[@tomkehrer9899]

It's fun watching these on snowy Idaho mornings. It also shows these guys are hunting hard and I can totally relate. I'll be having a hip replacement in April and hoping to be able to hammer it come September.

[@joshchestnut523]

Got to hunt Idaho for the first time last season. I understand the slow days and frustration. I also had the days where is seemed like the switch got flipped on and bulls were screaming everywhere. Can't wait for the next one, great work as always.

[@msmith159matt]

The transitions crack me up. It’s so real that they start full of optimism then by the end of the segment the guys look beat down. It’s a testimony of how much we put into this

[@davidarellano6777]

It's coming down to the wire! Can't wait for the next episode! I just learned something about thermals and getting on the same level as the elk in this episode so thank you for that!

[@KevinMartin-wb2vp]

I love the Dad jokes Donnie, I usually end up telling a lot of my family, employees, and friends!! Keep up the great work!

[@bruceburns6]

The last few years i have really worked on trying to get and stay on the same level as the elk. I think that is super important. Thanx for all the action. Getting me pumped for the upcoming season.

[@jeffhovatter6063]

Good episode, Rough year. Examples every episode of what can and does go wrong on an elk hunt.

[@jarrodhess7067]

Thanks for the info reminder on thermals! I know it, I just forget it when I’m in the elk woods chasing bugles!

[@tonylefler7565]

Coming around, Awesome job, keep Grinding

[@braylenhamilton8480]

This has been such a fun season to watch! Great content! Thanks for all the time that has gone into it!

[@bradcrowther922]

Tough hunting! Way to persevere and continue on. Thanks for the great content!

[@billydawespony4687]

Getting back in shape now!! Thanks for reminding me to get after it

[@ChasinBugles]

no matter the outcome its still fun watching this series. thanks for the great footage, I watch every episode 4 times and never skip and ad

[@ryanduffey6968]

Just want to thank you guys once again. So thankful I found you guys a few years ago. You helped me take the leap across country to hunt elk. I never would have thought it would be possible for me on a budget living in the Midwest but between Elk101, Remi Warren, and Randy Newberg you guys let me know it was possible. And we were successful two out of our first three years.

[@michaeljacobsen377]

Was on a cruise last week and I couldn't wait to get back so I could watch Destination Elk v5...love it

[@frankship72279]

What a great season love watching this series. Final able to catch up on the episodes I missed the last week. Cant wait to see the last few episodes

[@ryanmiller3481]

Thanks for the heads up on the Mtn Ops.

[@timnaber5509]

Another episode showing all the challenges in archery Elk hunting. And a good cliff hanger with Donnie looking like he got it done, or maybe its an invisible elk in the the water.😂

[@DougRubenstein-yb2pc]

Fantastic episode! Every episode is better than the last. I am going to be extremely disappointed when the last episode is over! Will have to start watching the series over again! Thanks for all of the work and effort that goes into the production of these episodes. Each episode is a learning experience for me as well as countless others. Thank you, again!

[@billychurch2395]

I enjoy the strategy for success segments. Thank you for putting them in and trying to teach us all you can.

[@randybuechner-mq8rk]

Great hunting... Love watching this series... Elk 101 !!!!!

[@heithhinds4396]

Thank you for a bit of a thermal breakdown, definitely need to learn more in that department.
