You guys captured some great moments of camaraderie! I hunted with Brian on my goat tag in '21, not only is he tougher than hammered hog-snot, his inherently genuine nature will not allow situations to be sugar coated and promotes conversation rich in healthy shit talking. Great video, guys!
dirk has always been one of my favorite elk hunters. but now I know he likes miracle whip. I lost all faith in him lol. great video keep em coming. next time your in oregon hit me up and I'll bring you some elk steaks out there lol
I used to hunt Tolgate area back in early 80's,,,used to be the best area with Ton's of Elk. I moved to Alaska for 16 years, i got back in lower 48 and decided to go back there. Now its a Trophy Bull area and the herd has gone down Big time. What Happened ??? Congrats Fish and Game, you screwed up one of the best elk hunting area's in the World
There are few factors, but thanks to the introduction of wolves and other abundant predators calf recruitment is struggling along with predations of adult elk.
The elk are moving around in large mileage circles. Thousands. They went with spike only for many years. Bull bulls were the result, and much higher cow/ calve pairs. The cougars and wolves had become big predators by 1997. Moose are back in tollgate and the bears are thick because they outlawed dogs to hunt cougars and bears. I haven’t hunted there for 15 years but when I go thru mushroom hunting, and to my cabin in the blues below( above cutsforth park) and I always see hundreds of elk. The herds were strong
Congrats Mr Phelps. Glad you could pull it off after all that hard work Dirk had sacrificed. That guide seemed pretty cool. Doug Flutey would had been out of there on day 1.
I wore the orange hat that day during the hunt, but then traded hats for pictures. Sometimes those blaze orange hats cause color grading issues in photographs.
Using bagels are the best instead of bread they hold up much better just put two in instead of one they're smaller obviously but they absorb mayonnaise and mustard much better they don't fall apart and don't get smashed as much
Thanks for the feedback. Please elaborate on the music. Wrong genre, too much music, you don't like music at all and prefer the sound of the wind blowing out the audio? Please explain so we can get better :)
Not a fan of using high power rifles when the game has zero chance of living . Bow and arrow is the mark of a true hunter . Just my opinion. Hunting with high power rifles and scopes has no art to it .
Hi Russ, you must be new to our channel as we are predominantly bow hunters for elk. We do enjoy expanding our season by picking up a rifle from time to time. To each their own. I feel like choosing sides of weapons for legal harvest of animals is a slippery slope. United we stand, divided we fall. Thanks for watching

Oregon's wolf population keeps growing and growing.

nice bull. I know the area you hunted. Not gonna let the cat out of the bag. I live in the Blue mountains
What’s the total cost of this “hunt” ??
Why the orange hat only when it came time to shoot? Great hunt, great bull!
I wore the orange hat that day during the hunt, but then traded hats for pictures. Sometimes those blaze orange hats cause color grading issues in photographs.
I don’t hunt with anybody who doesn’t like miracle whip. Nice job boys!
Well done 👍

beautiful Bull
Nice bull.
Great video,but I think the miracle whip comment must be a Weippe thing.
Great bull Phelps
What’s the rifle setup?
R-Bros 338 Edge, Leupold Mark5
300 grain bullet at 2940
What caliber of rifle and bullet combo?
338 Edge with a 300gr Sierra match king
Hell yeah boys
368 3/8 is my guess
Are bull congrats
Dang stop showing off our blues, go show them elk in Colorado. No elk in oregon and Washington not worth it don’t come.🤪
Kinda rough carrying that sniper rifle all over the place..........
Agreed!
Good video shame about the music.
Thanks for the feedback. Please elaborate on the music. Wrong genre, too much music, you don't like music at all and prefer the sound of the wind blowing out the audio? Please explain so we can get better :)
@@PhelpsGameCalls wrong type of music, something softer would be more appropriate.
