Wallows, Rubs, and Bugling Bulls: EPISODE 6 (Destination Elk V5)

DON'T FALL FOR SCAMMERS! Elk101 will not contact you through a KZbin message, and we will never ask you to pay for any part of a giveaway - not even shipping!
*************************************************
Team PURE ELEVATION located multiple bugling bulls on the morning hunt, but they are out of water needing to refill their tanks ASAP. If they can find a fresh spring closeby, they can go after a bugle. If not, it's a long hike to the bottom to fill up.
Mark and Jeff Skousen have a bull located, and he's moving in toward a wallow. Mark decides to adapt a TEAM ELK101 tactic and wait at the wallow to see if the bull will show up, and things are looking good.
And speaking of TEAM ELK101, there is action on the afternoon waterhole, and Corey and Donnie employ an old reliable tactic to get a bull fired up and bugling.
You can almost feel the tension in the air, as all 4 of the teams are set up and ready for success...
Join us for the Evening Hunts of Day 3!

[@gregbetts9568]

I have seen these scamming messages and have ignored them.

[@coloradooutdoorman2223]

Amen,

[@johndiniz1710]

It is tough sitting and waiting, being a white tail hunter from the east I do alot of tree stand hunting ,and it can be very boring so I totally understand

[@zeldarobinson3382]

Thank you I have had those messages .I thought it odd so never responded 😃

[@zeldarobinson3382]

Thank you.I hope You and his pals don't get sick from that water but sometimes you don't have a choice. Good luck hope you all have some luck next time 😘

[@corbinschrock7608]

“At what point was this trip easy” great quote from the camera man!

[@TRAVISDAGENHART]

Nothing better than being in the outdoors - good hunting or bad hunting. Just being able to be part of nature and hearing and seeing the animals is great medicine for the soul. Love the footage. Keep it up.

[@C_Duggan]

The fact that everyone keeps smiling says a lot about them all. Any day in the woods hunting is better than a day working!

[@todddorsey9395]

Sleeping at the water hole looks very relaxing. Thanks for sharing looking forward to the next one.

[@muppet-fan]

Ty the cameraman is wondering how he drew the short straw this season 😂

[@chelancameron9860]

The dad jokes on the hillside 😂 I can’t! I think Corey’s reaction is half of what makes it so funny

[@louiszettel7092]

Thanks again. This episode seems like a good example of what elk hunting is usually like. Lots of walking, waiting and searching. Fortunately elk country is a great place to be and makes all the effort enjoyable.

[@miguelperez6694]

I just got the shirt in the mail! Didn't notice before that Corey and Donnie (and mohawk) were on it. Makes the shirt that much cooler. Excited for tonight episode

[@caseyostler7341]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets bored sitting. I really struggle with it! But sometimes that’s what needs to be done. Thank you to all the sponsors for supporting these guys so they can put out awesome videos like this!

[@ElevatedTines]

I can't sit worth a damn, makes a guy alright walking through the bush though. I've hunted with new spot and stalkers and they're louder than a herd of cattle in dry grass 🤣 situational for sure, I've been kicked for moving early alot

[@theunseenjetta]

Getting caught up after spending two weeks in the California high desert of Joshua Tree National Forest for King of the Hammers racing off-road trucks! What a great thing to come home to, new episodes of Elk!

[@davidrector5361]

From crystal clear elk pee water, to blow downs. to thunderstorms. The bad days make the good days that much sweeter.Keep them coming.

[@jeremiahnewton7103]

Another great episode!!! Them Skousen brothers are like Pete and Repete!!! Can't tell them fellers apart!!!🤣

[@darrylwaldron7164]

You guys keep it Real!! Grind it out!!

[@Bdalb5]

I had my first drawn elk hunt in AZ this past fall. Despite being unsuccessful, it was the best educational adventure I've ever been on. This show just gives me withdrawals haha. Thanks Elk101 for all the education, inspiration, and entertainment!!!

[@johnfreeland6651]

Always appreciate the slower days. The real life hunts make your videos so much better than the hunt videos I grew up watching. Eager to see what happened tomorrow

[@patweidmann6804]

Opened a beer, got comfortable in my recliner, and boom, episode 6 dropped. What a perfect evening 😊 I thought for sure tonight would be the night of the sparring bulls 🥲

[@bobhirosky5668]

These could be 2 hours long. Good stuff!!

[@fghsstud]

This is a perfect episode for a tactics breakdown. Between your first setup, your change to the spot over the next ridge, and how Corey moved around to keep the shooter in position. Hard to follow in the video - so much to learn.

[@hondaguy4237]

I love how realistic the series is. You don’t hide the lows.

[@packedinnative7214]

Turned on this episode and both of my boys came running. I really appreciate these videos! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@djslaugh]

This episode looked like most of my hunts😂

[@MrAscotty]

Love the real life aspect of this series! Thank you for not hiding all the downs. Keeping it authentic separates you guys from all the others!

[@spyder-cq2by]

This is hands down the most informative elk hunting channel that I'm currently watching.

[@jm2youcar]

Hey guys, thanks for doing this show! It really helps get me through the winter. We start getting excited for Destination Elk as soon as the fall hunting seasons end.

[@shawnbillman4392]

I’ve been waiting all day for this episode to drop. I’m ready to see some elk on the ground.. Thanks for taking us along on these great adventures.

[@nathanlink4973]

Even though there is no success in this one. I still had a blast watching this episode. My 9 year old daughter watches every episode with me, and she was just asking questions the whole time, trying to learn more about what elk hunting is all about. I love that these videos can get her curiosity and interests up for the crazy sport of elk hunting. Looks like I will be getting another fellow hunter sometime in the near future. Definitely a proud dad moment.

[@matthewlarson7163]

Is this where I sign up with my wife to be team Larson in Wyoming next season? We need some Wyoming representation and I am more than happy to accommodate. I do love your show and appreciate having something to look forward to in the winter. Keep the dad jokes coming!

[@maryloudavison1759]

The teams are persistent in dealing with the elements but Episode 6 was the tops !! Tuesday seems to be so long to wait, great videos! !!

[@lukejensen3486]

Here we go, episode 6 already! My daughter watches every episode with me just to hear Uncle Donnie's dad jokes.

[@DaveStone62]

Another shout out to the sponsors that allow us all to enjoy these shenanigans! That water hole was nasty but those guys made the best out it!

[@lindyrueb8838]

This strategy for success is the best advice I've received. Instead of wasting a night and the following morning not seeing elk, start scouting for tomorrow today. Thanks again for the great content.

[@user-ub8jv2vs9o]

Love getting to watch these two times a week! Gives me something to look forward to while we await September! And Donnie’s dad jokes I look forward to those too ;)

[@scottbrooks-hg7yv]

Thank you too all sponsors! You guys are amazing. I learn so much from these episodes!

[@roberthay8482]

I know it is after the fact, but a big "THANK YOU" to all of the guys behind the cameras. Your work is greatly appreciated. Ordered the shirt. Thanks guys for awesome entertainment.

[@travischabo6776]

This episode could have been a add for SleepyTime tea for this mid afternoon excitement.😂. Great bugling and countryside. Thanks for an episode of reality of how there are days with slumps.

[@radar5039]

Thanks to all the great sponsors! Make sure to support them all. Shout out to Bryce and the entire team at Peax.

[@braydenburton7597]

Thanks for keeping this series authentic and true to life this is how bow hunting is sometimes.

[@heithhinds4396]

I love seeing how Cory and Donnie start MOVING once they have found a vocal bull they want to make their move on. This last fall we also had to sit on water holes because of hot weather and so much hunting pressure. We were unsuccessful unfortunately during bull season, all we saw were cows and calves hahah.

[@kalag4661]

Man!!! I wish we could of seen that bull that Corey was calling in. That bull sounded like a big guy. Thanks for sharing another episode. Can't wait for next week! The cliff hanger is definitely the intro.

[@tommarymarking1579]

Oh man, as I lay here in my hospital bed recovering from a heart procedure, I feel thankful I can have a clean glass of water and not have to drink out of a mud wallow filled with elk piss and stink! That must be some filter...and then it rains on them...ha ha, you gotta love elk hunting. Since I am out of service for a week, I really enjoy the episodes...thanks so much.

[@davidwebb8383]

Corey & Donnie- absolutely enjoy season 5. Love the format with the morning a.m. and evening p.m. hunts that comprise each episode. Big shout out to all the camera guys doing outstanding job. Congratulations on another fine season. Be will hunt & hard. Regards.

[@jaredknott9096]

I am glad I wasn’t the only one that hunted Idaho that couldn’t find elk that wanted to play. Great content guys.

[@jamesjulieinnes1847]

The support for RMEF is awesome. Showing the struggle of the hunt makes the show

[@chrisjohnson3854]

I’m a Wyoming guy and love the mtns. Love to see shared passion of ups and downs

[@mattahrens9149]

I like to think I'm quite capable in the backcountry. That being said, I hadn't seen that pre-filter trick before. I thought it was genius. Thank you to whoever does the editing to include that footage in this episode. Who knows, you might have saved a life!

[@brucewimmer4816]

All of your cameramen do great, not just with the filming, helping out in any way they can. Thank you guys for making great video for the rest of us to see!

[@andystafford554]

Always like how you let bad/disappointing situations roll off and look for the next opportunity. Hunted with a few people that need to watch this and understand how important it is to stay positive. Elk hunting is 90% mental too me

[@amyvdb89]

Thank you to Elk101 and all the sponsors that make this series possible. I can't wait to be back in the Wyoming woods this fall

[@douglasbyerley3270]

Thanks for showing a realistic day of elk hunting. Sometimes it’s a lot of hiking and searching and very little elk to be seen.

[@MarkKrahe-dh2hn]

This episode was truly a reality show. A reminder of how difficult elk hunting can be at times. Still fun! Loved the getting water from a wallow. Been there!

[@joshb6611]

It's fun to get some interaction with the camera guys. So often they're just quietly along in what the viewer's see, when you know they're very much a part of the team.

[@michaelmullis9830]

I think the elk have a 6th sense which lets them know who has filled their tag vs who has not, and that’s the hunter they choose to get into close range with 😂. I love elk hunting and appreciate the series! Let’s go!

[@davidkirkman1135]

Corey is starting to bring dad jokes. Humor on a tough hunt goes a long way to achieve success.

[@FreewillEnthusiast]

I watch these videos to hunt vicariously through the different teams. Right now we are having horrible weather on the west coast, so this is as close as I am getting to being out in the woods with a bow in my hand. Keep it up guys!

[@bbigguy4]

Great way to end the week. Having a game plan for the next morning seems like a great idea. Sleep closely to where they bed for the night and hopefully hear bugles as your lullaby.

[@SuperCjohnson3]

Man hunting elk can be some of the craziest roller coaster ride you’ll experience but you have to love the right! Best thing we get to do every year!!

[@toddgregory2962]

Finding Elk at night and game planning for the next morning is such a brilliant idea. The Elk often seem way more responsive to bugles at night than during the day. It is more difficult to see them at night but at least you can pinpoint a general area and then study your onX maps.

[@juliewells7689]

Love how camera man with Pure Elevation is right in there joking and having a good time😂 and keeping up with those guys!

[@johnnugent2033]

Always a great ending to my day away from the elk woods is watching these episodes

[@chasekanzee5890]

It's going to be super easy and super fun while tyler is showing the path made me laugh! It's always funny before and after!

[@jaysonrickard599]

Man was this representative of a realistic day hunting elk in the west. Brutal! Need some academics on how Tyler and Lenny pre-filtered that wallow H2O. Nasty but necessary in their situation. Can’t wait for the finale when Donnie finally reveals his V5 Mohawk!

[@jenkinsimages]

I like that you are showing the reality that sometimes hunting is hard and at times hiking with a bow.

[@stackemoutdoors]

I appreciate how authentic this series is. We can all relate to tough days in September hunting public land. I’m ready for this next episode!

[@jeremygeorgeson3658]

Always like hearing Cory’s calls. He’s taught me so much.

[@levilindley2277]

Angry spikes calling has improved leaps and bounds love it.

[@rayestrada5195]

I think sometimes the elk led us around where they want to be. The last chuckle is in deed a laugh.

[@jonrohr5595]

Even when there’s not much elk action, this is still awesome to watch!

[@TheChuckler12]

Corey, when you had your phone/camera in the tree, raking and calling, you mostly called to your right… this is a good time for an In The Zone episode to explain to new hunters how you directionally call to elk.

[@donaldjenkins4161]

Heat, rain, sleet, drinking out of a puddle made by elk feet! Great job guys.

[@jeremyperkins7246]

I love that you show us the grind of elk hunting, not just the highlight reel.

[@darinhubbard1636]

I can't hunt like you guys, so I'm living vicariously through you. Thanks!

[@geoffharris3005]

I don't know what is more torture, sitting wallows or hiking with Pure Elevation 🤣

[@1thisguy279]

It's nice to have this to watch where it shows hunting and not just a quick "here we go, here it comes, shoot it, show it off" like "normal" hunting shows.

[@jjbabyhands]

Very creative water source idea by Lenny & Tyler. Not sure I would’ve had it in me to drink from that.

[@joseymcdowell9060]

Really capturing the grind of elk hunting. Most of the time it’s tough and can really test your endurance, but there are those moments that make it all worth it.

[@dalesteinecke949]

This has been one of the hardest years for lek hunting the way it looks. Keep moving boys

[@onabudgetoutdoors636]

I really like the side bugle, it sounds really good. It is neat to see how everyone is a little different in how they use their calls to get that sound they like. It has helped me to sound a little different at times.

[@toddgregory2962]

I got my T-shirt and I love it!!!!! I’ve been listening to all the episodes for a second time to capture the subtle helps to make me a better hunter. Thanks for taking us along with y’all!!

[@madeoutwestoutdoors]

Still my all-time favorite dad joke by Donnie is the one about the boots he bought off a drug dealer - "laced with something cause I've been trippin' all day" 😂

[@kengreene7899]

I liked the coverage of team pure elevation and their pre-water filter ingenuity

[@justinbrasington8182]

Sitting in a wallow looks like whitetail hunting. Beautiful country!

[@joelague6559]

Pretty amazing what Pure Elevation will do and where they will go in search of elk. The views were phenomenal. And the water they found ................ bet they had a good filter!

[@Shelby662Boss302]

Well that episode pretty much summed up public land archery hunting! Got to love it! It's not elk hunting without a little misery.

[@garretthenry7038]

I met Donnie today at the Salt Lake Expo. What a stud! Highlight of the trip. I got to meet Mark Livesay as well. Both really cool guys but I'm a Donnie fan. Just another reason why I'm a fan of you Idaho Boys and everything you put out. Donnie you Rock even without the Mohawk

[@ksdoubledrop]

Excellent depiction of the true grind it can be at times. I was waiting for a late add dad joke from Donnie, but no, not “Yeti.”Can’t wait to catch the next episode.

[@terresa1874]

Hiking through downfall is tough. Loved that there were episodes with thunder storms. We’ve been in a few of those hunting .

[@JKHuskers]

Great ad for the water filters, can imagine drinking from a wallow.

[@gregchatham3890]

Awesome scenery to chase Elk and I enjoyed this episode. Thanks to all of the sponsors that make it possible for us the viewers to enjoy a top notch experience. Keep grinding guys, those bulls are just around the corner!

[@toddtkach3806]

Makes me itch hard for elk season 2023…cardio and weight training has been going and soon when the snow leaves northern Alberta the bow will come out..keep them coming!

[@adamleyba5996]

This episode really shows the perseverance that’s required to hunt early archery season elk.

[@zaneallen5551]

The one thing I love most about you guys is you show what elk hunting really is! You include all the ups and downs and you just keep pushing through it all!

[@timstevens4563]

The look in Corey’s eyes when the bull was bugling and raking..

[@rickhoops2615]

That country the twins are hunting in looks awesome. Atleast they are always able to see several elk and have options for a game plan. Has to help with morale.

[@tonyjohnson3332]

A slow hunting season can be a bit humbling, but the anticipation sure keeps you motivated…at least you get to see some beautiful country trying to locate critters!

[@paulbennett8855]

As if the packs aren't heavy enough already and generally you can plan on some really nice warm, if not hot weather for bow hunting elk .......this episode shows us how nasty the weather can get this time of year........ and don't forget to leave some room for that raingear !!

[@craiglee6141]

Rain is a pain, but expected in Idaho in September. We were up on the ridge on that same day last fall and also built a fire until it passed then ended up calling in a bull that my son shot on the way down, his first archery elk. Good memories.

[@bweske]

"sitting is boring" I bet the camera man wasn't too disappointed about not having to chase you around the mountain in the heat. Hoping the weather and the luck change for the better in coming episodes.

[@samuelarmatage6679]

WOW, just discovered this show and I'm about to binge every episode. I've been subscribed for a while just to see how-to videos, but these episodes are my new favorite.

[@bertoldon]

The intro music to the series is now indelibly associated with my favorite time of year. SEPTEMBER!!🎉
