I have gotten some snide and hostile comments over letting the big bull go and being courteous of other hunters in the area. I think it is a sad display of the values of hunters and what has become of hunting in the last 20 years. What happened to enjoying the hunt and the antlers being a bonus? I've been hunting my whole life and there was definitely a time when I would have done everything in my power to kill that bull. But as we mature, little things like big bulls should be let go when big things like our word is on the line. It is disheartening to read some of the comments I'm getting. It was my elk hunt and my decision and the fact that I even have to write this is a sad testimony to the destruction of hunting. If it troubles your soul to watch someone pass up an elk you have a troubled soul indeed. God bless
I also begin to grow concerned about the attitude of some folk. But try not to worry about those comments, brother. Your heart's in the right place and If others can't see it, thats their problem. Im sure you know better than I do, that we all take different paths to reach maturity. When certain things fall into place, They'll understand why you made the choices you made, and they'll learn to respect those choices. The important part is that you remain true to yourself and make choices you can be proud of, and from what I can tell you're doing a wonderful job at that.
I thought that not chasing/hunting the bull was puzzling....That being said, it takes one heck of a good man to stand by his word and you were still truly blessed to take that great bull. God Bless you brother!!!
A man is only as good as his word. Shows amazing character to walk away from a prize like that because you know it is the “right” thing to do. While people berate you, they are also they type of people that likely have never had the chance. Seriously impressed by the character required to walk away.
It's all about the experience . If it happens the animal is the bonus.
Hunters aren’t what they used to be. They lack the values and respect for others for their own selfish reasons.
A man has to be a man of his word. But as a follower of Christ we have to be men of our word and our Morals! Thank you for the fantastic videos!!
God is good all the time!
I agree Danny Ray
Hello, I want to tell you thank you for your testimony of who God is in your life and how he is providing for you. Stay encouraged and stay strong in the LORD. I would love to become a prayer warrior/partner for you, family, and your hunts. I moved to Wyoming just 2 years ago to begin my new ministry transitioning from 20+ years of youth ministry to that of a lead pastor of a church. I have yet to take my first bull, but your attitude and real life experiences are encouraging. Keep up the good fight and run the good race. Your identity is with Christ and not with man.
Thank you James! God bless you brother!
Respect your buddy, the outfitter can find his on, it's public land.
deerlover sheridan I agree
Agree. Unless the outfitter is paying YOU to scout up that elk it is a public bull on public land.
Not a fan of outfitters
We need more people like you sir in this world. People have lost their value in integrity but you sir give me hope. May God bless you and your family. Much love and respect from Georgia!
No better church that the great outdoors! I enjoy going to Mass, but can't wait to get in the woods... and pray, self-reflection, being by yourself in the middle of God's creations, It makes me feel so small but so blessed to see things many people will never see... My two sons now feel the same way. I pray they continue to serve the Lord and keep the woods sacred to their hearts. God Bless Brother, keep up the good work!
Edgar B. Being miles from the chaos of life is the best self reflection and come to Jesus moments.
Really enjoyed this ! Your vids just keeps on getting better every year , brother . In all honesty , I didn't plan on watching this almost half hour vid the whole way through , but am glad I did ; no disappointment here . What beautiful western mountain country ! Glad that you listened to His still , small voice and did the right thing in passing on that big bull . Yes , God certainly is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him and his will . Thanks for taking us along on the trail and wishing all of God's richest blessings on you and yours .
North Woods Rat Well said
"Hunting for Heaven". So true, and such a beautiful analogy.
Thank you so very much for being courageous about your faith! I moved to Idaho 3 years ago to be support staff for a pastor and wife who are church planters. I have love hunting for the past 25years in the midwest. Now I'm learning about elk. Hope to harvest my first this year God willing. I am not your typical hunter, Lots of challenges..,..fear, age , but am thankful for the opportunity. Wonderful video! Thank you!
MJ K I moved to Idaho too, does it worry you the elk are in grizzly country?
Loved the video, but appreciated your attitude even more. This world would be a far better place to live if we were all as generous minded and thoughtful as you. God will bless you and I am sure he has already.
So im the friend! Thanks for the hunt Justin! If you respect other people while hunting 9 out 10 times they will show you the same respect! Just so happened that big bull and 2 others just as big happened to be right below me that day and opening morning!! As "luck" would have it my brother shot a 6x6 satellite bull out of that heard to mintues later watch this big bull walk out at 250 yds. Shortly after 1 of the outfitters guys spooked the whole heard which ended up crossing the drainage and passed Justin 1 ridge over from where he was cleaning up his bull!! And if im not mistaken within several 100 yds of where the mule deer buck was that Justin ended up backing out on!! So who knows maybe if Justin would of passed on the bull he shot he could of ended up getting his buck and bull combo in the same day!!
:-)
I agree with one of the other comments on here .
your videos keep getting better. been watching them for a long time now. it must be an awesome experience. I'm very happy for you that you get to get out there and be one with God . it's got to be an awesome experience and awesome feeling, very humbling.
I can only imagine being out there like that and being able to thank Jesus for the the ability to experience it and the beauty. I'm happy for you.
Stay safe and blessed
Thank you my friend! God is so so good!
Congratulations on great elk!!!
I enjoy watching the videos you post. I really like the devotional you usually put in them also. GOD is AWESOME!!!
Great video, I really appreciate you giving the praise and glory to God. I am going on solo hunt to southern Idaho this year, can't wait to see this beautiful country The Lord has created firsthand!
By far one of your best video wise. I really appreciate your Gospel messages & illustrations. Stay focused, and run with endurance. Peace.
Congrats Justin. That was a good trip and a great bull. Thanks for taking us along.
Very nice video, much respect! People don't understand hunting is very hard work and I respect you for keeping your word and not being greedy.
Awesome hunt. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it. God is good all the time. What a privilege we have to serve a Almighty God.
I watch plenty of videos and this one I watched with my 12yr old boy and we enjoyed it immensely!!! Well done, thanks for sharing!
God is good!! All the time!!
And some of us look for 1 bull....... that 1 legal bull that will allow me to call myself a successful elk hunter.
Thank you for taking us where many of us will never be able to go. Keep that camera rollin' when riding up in those hills.
Now that was a good hunting video. I'm kinda like you. Don't need all the chit chat from other people, just like to get it done and enjoy the journey. THANK you bud.
Praise God! Thank you for being a good example, and thank you for sharing this beautiful video. It's on my bucket list to get an Elk one day. I live in Mississippi and hunt white tail deer. God bless!!
Congrats on a solid bull! Kudos on the respect you showed your buddy on leaving that bull alone for him. I would NEVER agree w/ leaving an area alone for an outfitter to hunt on public land. I would respect him and his clients if they were on the elk first, but that's as far as I'd go with my courtesy.
I have hunted with others all of my life but never have taken an elk of my own. I didn't need to because my husband always got his. In our home, as long as there is an elk in the freezer, our family is fed. I decided that I will put at least one in the freezer because I am doing the work. The six hour hike, through the snow just to get in to make the shot; boning out the meat and helping pack it out. It's usually a rush rush thing for me to get camp set up because I absolutely cannot wait to get up on the mountain and just BE. To pray, to watch, to feel, to smell. I enjoy the hike but also to locate some bulls then choose a spot where I can see and feel everything that God sets out before me. That is my church, boys. It's how i survive going to work in an office in the heart of the city every weekday of every month. Now that the kids are grown, I have begun to feel my age and the miles and the work i have done-well I'm reminded of the next day. Do you think that will stop me from getting out and enjoying God's beauty and bounty-no. When i die, maybe you can look for me in the spot where the big elk and deer are at the top of an Idaho mountain with no one else around for miles-because most of ya'll are hunting from a truck! Justin, you captured this perfectly. God IS good. He rewards us when we listen. Your hunt was everything you could have asked for, and you gave thanks to the One who made it possible. May God continue to fill your eyes with beauty, your heart with this kind of moral dilemmas, your freezer with meat, and your mind with glorious memories. Oh, and a warm fire. Thank you very much for sharing.
I would have done the same passing on that huge bull to me it's more important to keep your word especially with your friend when he told you about that big one. I just love your videos when you interject our Lord into them.
Amen my brother. It really is all about our Lord. Everything we enjoy is really a gift from Him. He made all of the creation, including the great animals we pursue. They're just a fringe benefit of His goodness. I'm sure He gets pleasure out of His children's happiness. He's such a wonderful father.
As a deer hunter living in WV that would be the hunt of a lifetime for me absolutely awesome video and your comments about God and how good he is great as hunters we are truly blessed to be able to enjoy the great outdoors and all of its creatures
That video so good I didn't realize it was 30 minutes long. You have really good consistent content and the gospel is the best part. Nice shots on the bull. Keep up the good work of the Lord. God bless you.
Vic
Good hunt Justin with your integrity in tact. Atta Boy.
Hats off too you ..Solo hunt, You said it all "JUST YOU AND NO ONE TO BLAME". A ture Sportsman. Awesome video..Thank for sharing
Now, that's what I call a successful solo hunting adventure! Awesome video man!
God bless!
You make decisions and stick by them. That deserves respect. Hunt on. Wishing you the best of luck and safe travels.
Your ability to DIY is inspiring!!
I just turned 60 and have lost the courage to try it!!! Great hunt!!!
Great hunt and great shooting too. Thank you so much for taking the time to film.
DUDE your videos are next level
Watch all your hunts from Australia!. Totes Jealous. Congrats on all your hard work! ;Beatifull Beutifull country!
Society is missing integrity these days glad to see that you still have some! I’m impressed with what you’ve been able to accomplish on your own! Beautiful Bull elk dude good job!
Your videos are simply breathtaking!! That elk hunt you just did is a true dream of mine! Congratulations buddy!!
i am addicted to your videos and get super excited when you guys put a new one out!!!! love the content and the realness and purity!
Respect the friendship, the outfitter can stuff it!!!
One of your best yet. Very cool video. Lots of action, and a humble choice to give the big one to someone else. Congrats on your hunt!
Wow! Beautiful Bull!
You're a good person, losing friend is more harder than losing an elk
Much respect to keeping your word to that outfitter. You could of taken that bull, but you kept your word. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Truly awesome hunt and adventure in some amazing country! Loved the vid portion of the ride in and setting up of camp.
Was hard but you did the honorable thing. Lot of people are not true sportsmen. Thanks for video. Liked it!
Such a great video, so cool you do a solo hunt and video it so well! Thanks for the awesome ride God bless
You did the right thing. Not always easy, but always right.
Congrats on a great filmed hunt on a great bull and dang good shooting too!
Thank you my friend!
You did the right thing brother, well done!! Need more hunters like this!
He should hunt with a spear , barefoot, no horses, if an outfitter asks. What a hero.
Awesome bull I’m ready for the season to start here I’m Wyoming those warm springs make the drive home a little more enjoyable good job and great content god bless !!!
Great video my friend. You are a true human. I wished we had more of you and you alike in this world.
What an adventure in some beautiful country......congratulations on a fine animal.
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed seeing the Elk do their their thing rubbing trees and just hanging out. I dont get to see that many elk on my hunts, I’m limited to only hiking back at most 4 miles.
I just got my hunting license. I got a elk tag for unit 39. I feel in love with hunting for the experience, the connection with the the wilderness, and for the love of animal. Thank you for being a great example of how hunters should be! I personally don’t care about trophy hunting. I also view it as a bonus, I’m excited to provide meat I harvested for my family. I have so much to learn, I haven’t even seen a wild elk yet. Not sure if my unit is terrible or I haven’t figured out what to look for. I’ve been scouting a lot I haven’t even heard them bulge yet.
These are my first comments. I have witnessed several of your videos and this one takes it. A solo hunt in these mountains is just amazing.
I am a flat lander and hunt white tail on private ground and I have only dreamed of adventures such as yours. Today I am too old and fat to pursue such adventures. I have to hunt with my sons and others to help with the heavy lifting however successful and God has blessed us with many kills. Thank you so much for your hard work and sharing . God bless.
Thank you brother!!
Hi Justin, That was an incredible hunt. Such beautiful high country. I was scheduled to bow hunt south of Salmon, ID, last year but tore my knee up and couldn't make it. Was able to make a limited draw muzzle loader hunt and really struggled physically with the knee pain. My buddy came in and helped me, we got on some cows, and he was able to call in a great 300+ bull for me to about 110 yards. Unfortunately, I had a hang fire and missed high. Passed on some spikes and went home to a nearly empty freezer. But that's hunting, it was great to be in the mountains again, the weather was great and my friend really came through for me. Thanks again for a great story. Your editing is pretty good and your horses are awesome. I'll be in the Bob Marshall this fall, 24 mile ride in for 9 days! God Bless!
Thanks brother! Hope you do well in the Bob this year!
Congrats on a great bull and video so awesome that you respected your friend and the guides request wish all us hunters were like that I know its public land but awesome decision
That was such an awesome video. Thanks a lot. Keep em coming.
Great video content, amazing country, and a beautiful bull! Well done sir! Class act brother, a lot of people would've just gone for the big bull. You're only as good as your word.....
What A stud you are for doing that hunt solo. Awesome. God is good
Really enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to film this and put it together. Great film and great story! Congrats on a fine bull!
Beautiful beautiful, the whole production down to the bull!! God Bless y'all brother in Christ from Dallas.
Awesome hunt. Love the way you incorporate all of the hunt and God into the picture. Congrats
Nice bull!!...great message!!...hunting rules!!!...thanks my god.!
When you decided to leave the big bull elk to others, I paused and subscribed your channel. I wish everyone think and respect others as you did and will do. You’re an absolute amazing hunter bro. Great hunt. Keep posting... wish I have good luck to join you in one hunt.
Weve hunted this general area for awhile and our group hunted this very drainage this year. Us and the 4 groups of other horse hunters we encountered saw basically no elk in a week. What a cool year you had in there!
Awesome video, and awesome channel, keep up the good work!!
This was an awesome video!!! Loved it!!
Simply awesome. Wish we had this type of land to shoot on here in the uk.
I totally respect saving the big one for your friend. The outfitter on the other hand has no business asking you not to hunt on any piece of public land. Outfitters typically think they own the mountain, which they don't, they just have a license to take PAYING clients in a specified spot. Unless he gave you information on where to hunt and divulged valuable information that you didn't already know, then you didn't owe him anything.
I hear you! We made an agreement that they wouldn't come up in my drainage if I left that one for them. They kept their word and I kept mine. I don't go into the backcountry to do combat elk hunting and get in arguments. I go to get away :-)
Why does everyone think you need something in return to show courtesy to someone else.
Excellent. Love seeing you bring the Lord on the hunt with you. Great respect for the wildlife is such a rare thing these days. Proud to have a brother in Christ hunt and show his love for our Lord at the same time. Although this is my first viewing I'll be along for the hunt from now on....God bless you...
I really like the 300 Weatherby. Great recap on the shot.
But I do get sad when I shoot or see them shot, and even while eating them. They sure are good. Took me a long time to learn how to cook them. Raising a beef now, I'll find it sad when I put him down. But will still do it and butcher him out into steaks 🥩. Look forward to that sad day. But look forward more to the return of Christ. More so then ever actuall.
Elk or no elk that was beautiful country, worth every second in my book. ....but that sure was a nice elk too!
Awesome video! Congrats on a great bull!
Justin, I am very impressed with you, and your character, you are able to live with yourself and be happy with your decisions, and God helps those who are honest! You passed up a bull the would have put great antlers on your wall, but you would have had to grind most of the meat, the bull you took had some very great steaks and was a really good trophy too! You are truly blessed to live in that great country, and to be able to do on your own, and have a great experience at the same time. I personally would not have the confidence to do it all on my own, and at 70 years old nor do I have the physical stamina anymore, but you had a great hunt, and may you have many more in the future!! Loved the whole thing, the music is fine, I really don't like music on a hunting video, there isn't any music out there in the mountains and I like to see and hear it just the way it happened, but your choice was not distracting! All around a great video!! THanks.
Thanks for the kind words my friend! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video. Totally enjoyed it. Looking forward to checking out other videos.
A good man is good for his word. Good job.
Fantastic video!
Thoroughly enjoyed it, well filmed.
I love videos like yours you do a great job I enjoy watching your video you are awesome👍 keep it up
Awesome, nice job brother, God bless you and your family, thanks for the video.
That was quite a bunch of elk all together in that one spot excellent hunt thank you for the view James Kansas City Missouri 👏
Good work, all around.
What an amazing adventure, I pray one day I'll be blessed with a trip like yours. My dream hunt is to ride horses on a trail and bow hunting and trophy Elk 6×6 or 7×7. I've on been on a house 2 times in my life, never hunted Elk, and I've never hiked in the mountains. That is what makes a dream all around. If God deems it necessary them my dreams will come to a head and I shall let my arrow fly swiftly threw the crisp mountain air and seek the warmth of a Bulls beating heart. And end the day with an AMEN.
Awesome hunt. God is good.
Love this stuff so much, nice bull good work getting it done and packing it out, but most of all to respect your requests to leave that other one alone took a lot of courage nice job.
Thank-You, very well done film !! And it's very good to see ethical hunters still exist !!
Great hunt man and congrats! I enjoyed your point of view and it was superb for self filming. I do a lot of self filming and it's definitely difficult to get both the animal and shot off in the same view. You are absolutely correct in your statement at the top, and unfortunately, a lot of hunters are against each other and it ultimately hurts hunting in the end. Hunters need to support each other. Once again, congrats, and you made me a subscriber.
Thanks brother!
great footage and depiction of the experience, subscribed , looking forward to seeing more content
Hey i absolutely love your videos. Love the way you hunt and not shy to keep God in center. To be honest im a little jealous of your hunts even though i get my elk yearly in Montana. God bless!
This so reminds me of my Solo Bighorn Sheep hunts in a Beautiful part of the Cariboo region of British Columbia, where I too would go to read Scriptures, Pray Often and lay under the heavens at night, listening to coyotes, and seeing the immensity of Gods Creations. The Sheep Hunting was more of the excuse to go , not really the reason. It was my week of Retreat, Refresh and Recharge! Enjoyed your hunt.
Great video, well done!
Wow, what a hunt!
Thats Awesome good job and thank you
Man of character. Subbed just for that.
Thanks for sharing hunt great ethics sad people don’t understand happy hunting may god be with you!
I’m always watching hunting,and trapping videos. It amazes me what you guys do 👍🏾, and I love it when animals are prepared after the hunt and to the fire. I would like to experience it. It would be my very first time. I’m a city girl and afraid, but willing to try. Y’all make it look so easy. I have never tasted any bear or deer😐 Any takers 🤗
I’ll agree with you on most of what you say but most of all is the hunting by yourself. Nothing more peaceful and fulfilling to the sole
Great video! Thanks for sharing...
Love that hunt buddy 👏.
Man awesome video! That is dream hunt of mine beautiful country! Going get mine one these days Good Lord willing!
