    Donny always has the best reactions. It’s awesome how every elk he shoots he reacts like it’s his first. A true hunter. Never expects to get one and is excited when he is successful.

    Here we go! Just finished my workout of “Diddly Squats” and ready to watch the guys go to work. And hear Donnies dad jokes of course. Hahaha

    Donnies sigh of relief is so relatable. I know that he didn’t sleep much that night and when he finally saw the bull you could see the tension leave his body. Thanks for keeping it real!

    Corey - "we will find him, we always do" Donny - "we will look all day if we have to" - Love that attitude when a less than perfect shot is put on an animal!

    I have never been much for watching hunting shows and have only used TH-cam for short clips and reviews; but after Elk101 helped me pull an elk out of a left over tag with more hunting pressure than I've ever seen I figured I'd check out the rest of your content. Going on 6 days off binging every season and I can't get enough. You guys really helped take the mystery out of it, even for a life long hunter. Keep up the great work!

    You guys never disappoint me. You two were meant to hunt together. I hope you guys realize that. Thanks for letting me tag along with you. I feel like I am your camera man because I watch all your videos and listen to all your podcasts. Because of that I save myself a lot of mistakes and I am a more successful hunter. The next best thing to elk hunting is tagging along with you guys in the off season.

Shoot monsters with a rifle up until then, so went to a bow for the challenge and REWARD!!! 😉. I ALWAYS say, “Bow hunting is about SURE THINGS and SHOULD’VE BEENS!!”🤭🥴😳. Right!?? 👍.

    After watching your daily episode, my two boys and I play elk hunting where one of us is the caller, one is the shooter, and the other is the big bull. There's nothing cuter then watching my one-year-old come in bugling, then run off after being shot and playing dead until you find him, count his points, and get a picture. Thanks for bringing the sounds of September into our house all year long.

  • @mdtnak
    @mdtnak 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad to see you comment on when it is appropriate to back out and when it is not. It is highly dependent upon the situation like you said, yet I often see people tell folks to back out and let it sit overnight. I have settled that I usually don't let anything sit overnight if I can avoid it [or at least until I locate it and confirm it is still alive - then decide if it is appropriate to back out or just sit down and wait]. To me it is driven by doing the right thing and the fact that if something is dead and sits over night here [North East], it is usually shredded by coyotes come morning. Agreed that there are times to back out and times to grit it out. Thank you for acknowledging that it is all dependent upon the situation. Awesome stuff... thanks for putting these put.

    Another great episode and hunt. Tracking an animal can be difficult. I have often found that they circle back on themselves which can make it even more difficult. I know what the stress and anxiety you go through waiting over night! Been there and been lucky to find them like you did. I much prefer a quick fall death rather than a hundred or two yard run and die.

    I had a similar situation on a bull in 2020. Backed out for the night and came back in the next morning. To my surprise he was still alive! Fortunately the conditions were good and I was able to get another arrow in him. At 20 years old with limited experience in this situation, I owe that Bull ALL To ELK 101! Awesome video and motivator for a guy like me! 💪🏻💪🏻
