    I love that it’s not always about the horns. Most of us hunt for the meat , thanks for rep’n that

      I took a nice big cow this year. Glad to have my freezer full...

    Enjoy Wes in front of the camera. He's got a great personality and light nature really shows the fun in it all.

    Right on Wes! That how you put meat in the freezer! This shows that the BRO crew dont hunt for horns for sure! "I can't pass on a cow".... good job man, good job!

    Absolutely loved this episode. Great camera work, Wes shined both as a caller and in shooting a cow, and finally - the Traeger work! Super stuff guys.

    Wes is raising the bar of the BRO crew. I love it. Very entertaining.

    Love the support you guys show for each other. And the fun and laughter had shooting the cow and Wes hunting.

    BRO boys. You guys scored big hiring Wes man. You guys deserve every bit as awesome as Wes is. I'm so glad he scored a cow and props to him for not worrying about shooting the big bull. I loved this hunt more than any, well maybe not as much as Trent's 6 point hunt last year, but this is a close 2nd. Congrats Wes man. Good on you for stepping up and getting it done. Love the end showing you guys cooking up a 5 hour old cow. Good job to everyone! Love it and been with you guys from the beginning.

    That may be the best episode (educational wise) yet. Very detailed blood tracking for 60 yards, experience as (not a new comer but haven't finished yet) hunter, and the detail of equipment and scenario. I think that connected with a lot of people that watch your show and live outside of the west. Thank you!

  • @nategaris3457
    @nategaris3457 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh man what a great episode! Wes is the coolest! At the end of the day it's about the meat. A true hunter kills for meat. It's also about crossing paths and opportunity. Seizing that moment when it presents itself! Wes epitomizes this and I totally respect him for it. Hat's off to you Wes. So cool! Thanks for sharing guys.

    Just started watching the series this year just before the season opened this aug. And love seeing you guys hunt and harvest elk. Watching Wes take that cow was the coolest so far in my opinion. I'm hoping that next year if things work out to head to Idaho for the first time and hope that watching you guys helps me be more successful and has inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and leave my home area in central oregon "ochocos" and just try something new. Keep up the great content and good shooting wes

  • @michaelballmer7549
    @michaelballmer7549 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Nice job Wes! The shot of that perfectly cooked tenderloin at 41:43 can't be beat and totally hammers home the decision to take that cow. I am going to guess that karma says Wes takes a nice bull in 3.0 (if he doesn't get fired before then!...LOL)

  • @jasonadkins9943
    @jasonadkins9943 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm glad to see Wes got a chance to hunt. Nice shot. No shame in shooting a cow! I love it!

  • @theoutsidetribe944
    @theoutsidetribe944 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the fact that you got the cow hunt on film. That’s how we hunt, shoot and be thankful for what the Lord sends our way. Great job getting those back country groceries Wes.

  • @cfp4sfc
    @cfp4sfc 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love seeing you guys take a cow. Best way to get the experience is to take the animals you can. Great job Wes!

  • @jdwinfield8598
    @jdwinfield8598 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great shot. Meat in the freezer. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Burying the broadhead is a great homage to the elk that God gave you.

  • @keithschuttler
    @keithschuttler 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This whole expereince was very similar to my first elk (cow) this year. The blood trail didn't start till about 40 yards from where I shot her. Found my arrow just like Wes's and just over the hill there she was...probably a total of 60 yards from where I shot her. It was a great shot and come to find out it my arrow went through her should and clipped the heart. For the first time my family has a freezer full of elk...what an awesome feeling to be able to provide for your family.
    Congrats on your elk!

  • @abrahamweaver8958
    @abrahamweaver8958 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Way to go Wes! One of the funniest things I keep thinking about was the bragging about the fresh water when Wes dumps it over his head and could barely breath. Funny Funny.

  • @jakebarnoski4992
    @jakebarnoski4992 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Went on my first archery elk hunt in 20 years this fall. You guys were a big reason I finally got motivated to make it happen. Ended up harvesting a calf (first legal elk in bow range). Would have loved to arrow a bull, but figured I better not be picky and risk coming home empty handed. It did my heart good to see Wes take that cow. I can tell he felt very blessed to get to hunt, and take some meat home. I can relate. Thank you guys for all you do.

  • @jasonjohnson9641
    @jasonjohnson9641 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    After watching Land of the Free and this far in 2.0, I think this is my facorite episode by far!!! It was awesome watching bulls get taken. But to watch for the first time a cow to be taken is awesome! I agree with, yeah it's nice to harvest something with antlers, but in the long run they don't fill your stomach! Congrats on the cow!👍👍👍👍

  • @greenwoods1852
    @greenwoods1852 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nicely done Wes. Great episode. Also forgot how much I like Trent running the camera.

  • @kaipennock3051
    @kaipennock3051 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dear Wes, great, great hunt!!! Enjoyed it 110%! I will say, you fit in so well with this group of gentlemen, and im pretty pumped to see you in the mix! I can tell youre truely in it for the love of it and the fact that you "couldn't pass up a cow" means you live the motto of the BRO, kill the first legal elk! Again man, loved the episode, super pumped for your debut hunt on the crew, and i hope we see you behind the stick some more!!! Also, i respect the proper shot! You really made sure you were set and ready, didnt rush and make a poor shot! Well done! Nice calling too.....

  • @bottompin796
    @bottompin796 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Congrats Wes! I preach what you mentioned in the uncut about just harvesting animals. I learned to bowhunt by shooting anything I could with a bow growing up...grouse, squirrels, gophers, pheasants... I hear and see too many new bowhunters that hold out for the “big one” that have never harvested an animal with a bow and have no idea what it’s like drawing back on something with a pulse. When you’re heart is pounding so hard, it feels like your eyes are gonna pop out of your skull and you can’t stand still cause your right leg is about to collapse!

  • @sixbysix4584
    @sixbysix4584 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys are the bomb! Shooting a cow and putting it out there. Loved it. I will take a cow every time. Thanks for doing what you do.

  • @MAN-gm3ff
    @MAN-gm3ff 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love that Wes is a part of the BRO crew! He adds a good element, I’m not sure why exactly but he is a great fit! Love the series and Wes if you read this congrats buddy!

  • @galenbender2816
    @galenbender2816 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really enjoyed having Trent behind the camera again.....really brought back the memories from last year. Keep up the great work, guys you inspire me almost every day with some aspect of the vid!

  • @jtapper6109
    @jtapper6109 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. Great shot. On the cow. Reminds me of when I was a meat hunter. My first 20 years archery kept the freezer full of deer and elk. The last twenty some years I decided to hold out for bulls and bucks only, and I’m a bit slower maybe. Freezer goes empty some, but still enjoy the hell out of it! I’m thinking of going for the meat this year… maybe 😅

  • @joegustafson
    @joegustafson 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wes, congratulations on the elk! I liked this episode as much as any other. I appreciate that it's not all about the antlers. It's about love, respect, and the experience. Thanks for representing our culture and Oregon so well guys.

  • @MountainMan_NZ
    @MountainMan_NZ 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great job Wes, you "mewed" exactly at the right time to pull her up in that small window under the brush! I laughed at your post shot comment "I can't pass up a cow"! This EP had me smiling a lot man, brought back memories to my first red deer (hind) many moons ago! Kudos and thanks for another entertaining night on the tube

  • @JimTheHunt

    I guess the burying of the broadhead could be called a token of appreciation to the spirit of the elk.

  • @richh1968
    @richh1968 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great shot Wes! I think being in front of the camera would add quite a bit of stress to hunting. Nice work! Also, Thanks for being a part of bringing these great videos to us!

  • @chandramcpherson258
    @chandramcpherson258 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice job wes with the cow. You would think the guys would be happy its a lighter load for sure. Geting a big bull is worth everthing. But shooting anything with family is the best part about it. The brother hood is reel keep it up.

    Trent, I never realized how big your nostrils were until you were camera man 😂 (first 30 seconds of video)

  • @billmckechnie7491
    @billmckechnie7491 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wes congrats on filling your tag. Every elk with your bow is a trophy. Trent I am glad that Casey's face painting lessons have finally paid off.

  • @jasonstremcha2327
    @jasonstremcha2327 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys are awesome as I had to take this year off from bow hunting whitetails in Minnesota due to breaking my leg and ankle in 3 places I now have 10 screws a 6 inch plate and what the surgeon called a tight rope tendon but I will be in the elk woods again next fall

  • @charlesshine6542
    @charlesshine6542 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great shot Wes and Trents always said "its not about the horns guys" and was that more evident in this episode! Love it and congratulations Wes! I killed my first bow kill this year and thought it was a doe, it was a spike (buck) and first buck ever! I feel ya brother! And Happy Birthday Trent!

  • @jnordwell
    @jnordwell 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I liked the fact that Wes was using something other then a 80+ lb bow. I have lowered my poundage to 62 due to shoulder issues. I under stand that at times the harder hitting setup might be the best option, but it’s not the only option. I shoot almost a 500 gr arrow with my 62 lb draw and blew thru a bull elk at 68 yards. But the shot was broadside and went thru the boiler room broke two ribs in and 1 out.. preach setup and shot selection over the big truck bow.. Good job Wes..love the series you guys seem to enjoy the journey

    Happy birthday Trent! I have a request possibly for next year and maybe there is a reason you don't show them but I like to see shot placements on these elk. I know you guys sometimes talk about the shot but I'm a visual person.

  • @ericwarren0015
    @ericwarren0015 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Congratulations Wes!!! Great shot on that cow! It was awesome to see someone harvest a cow because in my neck of the woods you shoot the first legal animal because you never know if another opportunity may present itself. Also I have never seen a single recipe for antlers.

    Way to Go Wes. Awesome Job !! I'm bettin' that bull was looking for a Cow since only Cow calls were being used to bring him in. A Montana Decoy may have brought him a bit closer. But who knows for sure. A wind change may have turned him away also.. See you all tomorrow night..
