    Randy, you are definitely an above average hunter and I love watching your videos and hunts!! Because of awesome Americans such as your self makes me so proud to have defended this great country for the last 18 years. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless!!

    Perhaps the best hunting video overall I've seen. Bar none. Blood, guts, determination.... it's all there. In not so many words, it's the end goal that matters. Often with no easy way to get there. Whether for hunting, or a major life challenge. Amazing!!!!

    Randy the worse pack out i ever had was in Alaska packing this moose out of a swamp in a valley that was 1300 feet.
    I regretted it every step of the way up and back down and back up.
    But when it was over what a feeling of accomplishment i had. One of the best Hunts i have ever went on.
    I really enjoy your video's because you add the stuff that others leave out that is a part of hunting and i am really loving the Hunting episodes day by day that you have been doing Thank You!!

    Randy Newberg, take a bow Sir. I am at a loss for words, in attempting to honor your consummate skill, physical prowess, talent, and inspiration you engender, in all true ethical hunters. To do this at 52 years of age, in some of America's most rugged wilderness, is beyond scintillating, to all who admire one who embodies the ethos of a real hunter and shares the experience & dream.

    Can't get enough of these awesome public land hunt videos, just shows if you do your home work and get out and scout you could become more successful at harvesting an animal. Thanks for videos randy learn a lot from them, can't wait for your arizona coues deer video something I could really relate too.

    Steve Rinella put it best. "There are two types of fun. The type that you are enjoying yourself in the moment, like a roller coaster, and the type you are absolutely miserable in the moment." I don't know about you but I don't remember the last time I was at an amusement park, but I can tell you twenty plus stories about being cold, wet and tired. Each one of those instances were a blast now that I'm sitting on my couch. Take care and nice bull by the way.

    Love these videos! Good grief I can’t stop watching, it’s great to see what most of us public land hunters go through. I just got my first Elk in New Mexico and the work and preparation that is required made it all worth it. At times you get down on yourself but as you said “it’s a mindset” that gets you through.

    Great video! I watched this video last year prior to my 2023 Colorado muzzleloader hunt in unit 61.I cashed in my 29 preference points to get a muzzy tag. I ended up killing the biggest my biggest bull ever. The terrain was similar to that in your video. It was a great hunt. Passed up a lot of young bulls. My 61 year old legs were like rubber by the fifth day when I killed my bull. We were 2.5 miles back in and could not get horses to the bull due to recent rains and steep terrain. The pack out was a labor of love.

    Thanx for the last comments about taking 2 days to get out.

    This was a VERY good video and hunt. You most certainly paid your dues, IN SPADES in EARNING that bull. I felt for you on every step up and out because I've been there myself. Don't know how may times you can hear it but, I certainly take my hat off to you (and Marcus as well). I can see some of the motivation for this hunt seeing as how you waited nineteen years to be drawn. If I waited that long, and was physically able....then YEP, I'd do it too! Thank you for taking us all on this adventure with you. I love watching ALL of the hunts you post. The best to you!!!

    Hey Randy, I love this video because it’s right next to my family’s and mine’s private land. You was about 1.5 miles east of ours. I’ve been on that ridge many times. And done the same thing whew it’s work. That one trail is called snow shoe trail. My grand father ran cattle along that trail and I’ve pushed cows on it too. You’re a great hunter to go the extra miles to get it. Love seeing our area on video. Great job my man.

    • @Fresh_Tracks

    Randy, what can I say another great video and hunt under your belt. Conditions are not always good for hunting so you have to make the most of what you have eh? I think that's why I'm addicted to hunting too, never afraid to take on the worst of conditions; that's what makes for great memories IMO, and the shot when and if it comes!....excellent stuff to watch esp when I turn 96 and after...thank you! Cheers to you and your team! Nothing wrong with dying doing something you love! He's down ( my buddy) nope he's up, nope he's dead good stuff, elk gods are following you!

    Great job Randy! All that time on the computer scouting really paid off? I'm thinking this might be GMU 2 but All Colorado public land is nasty country. Your lucky to be only 52 which puts you a full 10 years younger than my Colorado Carnivores, and nearly two decades younger than me.
    And so for us the answer to getting any game especially big bulls for us is horses. This was one your best elk hunt videos!🎯

The rest of the week we did not see anything accept mule deer and black tails...accept our last day we climbed up to 11,300 on a very gnarly trail in the truck then proceeded to walk from there to find our hunting spots for the day...we ran smack dab into 2 nice bull moose!!!

    Man what a hunt, I agree about shooting more than once. I don’t hunt elk, but if it’s a trophy buck and he gives a good second shot, I’ll shoot again.

    You know, from one from Koochiching county to another, I'm LAUGHING FOR YOU about this hunt. I've lived for nearly 26 years in S.W. Colorado, type II fun is what I do. If I had 19 points on the line I would pull the trigger on that one also. I get the pref point every year and hunt elk 3rd season, on public lands on an O.T.C. tag.

  • @bryantaylor3388
    @bryantaylor3388 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Randy,
    You inspire me to hunt Bulls in sanctuary areas. I always shy away from taking a bull in nasty areas because I hunt with horses and pack out my elk meat on horses. I know some sanctuary areas Incould never get my horse to haul out that elk and I don't have a pack to haul out that big of an elk.
    Could a guy have got a horse to that elk in Colorado that you killed? It looked very nasty with the oak brush and terrain. Typically we have 6 to 7 miles to haul out elk in the backcountry where I hunt in SE Idaho so I use horses exclusively. I just cannot pack out an elk 6 to 7 miles. I guess I'm not as tough as you. Now I haul in a pack frame to pull out an elk because you have inspired me to shoot a bull in a nasty sanctuary area. Thanks for these awesome videos and stories. You are my favorite.

    • @Fresh_Tracks
      @Fresh_Tracks  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That terrain was too steep for a horse. Most places we shoot them a horse would be a great asset. I'm too ignorant about what it takes to keep horses, so I don't own any. Good luck this year.

    • @Fresh_Tracks
      @Fresh_Tracks  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I was only interested in elk and not other species in that state, it would be Wyoming. Cheapest place to build elk points and you can count on a good hunt every 3-6 years.

  • @nathanhooper4810
    @nathanhooper4810 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great Video. Love watching your hunts.
    Just to get an idea of the work involved, what was the elevation difference between the truck and bull, what was the distance between them, and how long did it take for just one trip from the bull to the truck? I see a lot of land I would like to hunt, but want to be realistic about how much work it is to get a bull out of steep country.

    • @Fresh_Tracks
      @Fresh_Tracks  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It was 1.400' of elevation. Horizontal distance covered while scaling these was about three-quarter mile. It was steep and miserable, but made for great memories.

    How does the heat effect the meat when taking two days to pack it out? Here in Texas its 90-100 degrees 10 out of 12 months of the year. Not counting all the fly's and mosiquitos. If you kill something that big you probably have to make sure and pack it out within a certain amount of hours or that very same day.

    • @Fresh_Tracks
      @Fresh_Tracks  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you keep it in the shade and where wind can blow on it, it is fine. Use good game bags that insects cannot penetrate. In most mountain areas, two days should not hurt the meat at all if you take the necessary steps.

      Both. Apply for tags and if you don't draw, buy an over the counter tag.

      It cooled by putting it in the shade and wind. Overnight it got down into the 40s, enough to cool meat thoroughly if left in the hills.

    When you hit a nasty area of tough terrain, you need Gaia. Make a pin on the map where you want to go. Name it and hit the pin. A little I icon will appear, hit it. A window will appear. Top right of the screen there will be three dots, hit those. A slide up menu will appear and tap on Guide Me.

      I dont expect anyone to give up their secret spots but any point in the right direction would be great. even Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma and Montana unit suggestions would be great.

  • @joepayne1530
    @joepayne1530 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have watched this episode several times. One of my favorites. Leads me to a point build question. I apply for mule deer almost every year in CO and buy elk OTC. I think this is my year to draw a mule deer license. If I apply for mule deer and elk, will I lose all of my preference points if I draw a deer tag? Or will I still be able to build elk points? Question is, I've seen you mule deer hunt in CO on past shows. How did you not lose the 20 points needed for this hunt?

    • @Fresh_Tracks
      @Fresh_Tracks  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You only lose the points for the species you are successful in drawing a tag. If you draw deer it does NOT impact your elk points.

    Randy, I'm a new subscriber. Love your videos. Especially since you harvest elk off public lands, because that's what I'm interested in. Hunting with outfitters is way outside my budget. I really would like to know what scope you're using? I really like that you mentioned how you had information how to adjust your scope for that steep down grade shot. This is new to me as well. I've been looking at a Vortex Viper HS LR 4-16x44 30mm tube. Do you know anything about this scope?

    • @Fresh_Tracks
      @Fresh_Tracks  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use all Leupold products. They dominate the rifle scope category for a reason. In this hunt I was using a VX-6. I also have VX-5, VX-3i. All of them have the Leupold CDS system that allows you to range, set your dial, and shoot.
