Utopian: A DIY Colorado Elk Traditional Bowhunt

- First western hunt. First backcountry experience with my dad. A pile of elk in prime habitat and not another soul present to contend with. The passion for God's incredible landscapes paired with carrying simple stick and string in pursuit of some of the most amazing critters on Earth provides all the excitement necessary. "Hardships are quickly forgotten. Intense heat, bitter cold, rain and snow, fatigue, and luckless hunting fade quickly into memories of great fellowship, thoughts of beautiful country, pleasant camps, and happy campfires." - Fred Bear

Nothing better than having a father son adventure like this, memories priceless!
Your old man is a beast! I hope to still be hunting and strong enough for a hunt like that at his age.
Real quality videography and attention to detail. Beautiful scenery and an all-around cool adventure! Glad no one succumbed to the ruggedness of the hunt and hike!
Very nicely done video. I would do anything to be able to share this sort of adventure with my Dad.
We live in an incredible country. Thank you and your Dad for a wonderful video. Both the hunt and the views. God bless.
Long bows in God’s country love it that’s some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen awesome guys
This is hands down thee coolest and hardest way to hunt! That country and those bows are beautiful!
Great hunt guys... Though you came home empty handed, your hearts were full!
Amazing opportunity for a father and son! Way to go fellas!
Next fall will take my elk adventure to CO diy with hunting buddy, Brian. I am 66 and fit like your dad. Thx for sharing! God speed
Awesome hunt guys. I miss my dad going with me and my brother. Special memories
Nice work man. So cool you can experience all that with your Dad.
This is it. The video I've been waiting for. I've watched too many hunting videos and this is the pinnacle of them all. Cinematography is great, nature shots are incredible, you didnt waste time talking our ears off and you used good music not crappy weird pseudo-country/rock music. You let the footage and the hunt speak for itself and it was perfect. Great work. Subbed.
Real beautiful country. Great footage and a tuff older fellas !
Dad looks at son see a man.man take care of your dad .take care good hunting from western Australia
Truly glorious Countryside for an elk hunt. I can't imagine having to walk away from that... I think I'd have been wishing I had a field guide to wild edibles, or something... Anything!
love it Malachi
Good and decent music
Good job
Awesome adventure!
Keep after them,thks for a great video
That was cool you added in the part with the pika! There’s a lot of research In Oregon going on about pikas, they are bad ass little dudes! Nice hunt guys. I can’t wait til I can walk up on a bull. Hunted quite a few years with the stick and string and still haven’t got an elk. But this year I’m hoping as usual to change that. The poor mule deer have felt my wrath
Really enjoyed that. Hope you’ll make some more.
Fantastic camera work in breathtaking country, I felt like I was back there again, I did a hunt almost exactly like that this fall ,14 days in the Colorado back country, it is exactly as you portrayed it. Beautiful job sir.
Great hunt guys.
Well done!
beautiful father son hunt. hope you's go again
This is super good bro how do you not have more subs
Great vid
incredible footage, i really enjoyed that one guys! i shoot a kohanna fury, sweet shooter, and the surewood shafts are the best! great effort men.
Soooooo, you were trying to kill your dad?! Poor guy! I love it! Great hunt!
That's the dream right there a deep in the mountains elk hunt with the stick and string keep up the good work bud and i can shout u out on my channel if u want.
Nice video. Sometimes you feel like the only one around, but we were there the same time as you across you. Haha
We meet you on the trail when you were hiking out.
You guys actually bumped the elk down to us and we harvested one. We been hunting same spot you were for last 5 years and got tags for September coming up.
lol Good luck in future.
I had wondered if you guys would see this. In that case you’re welcome. Haha. But what a cool place. Good luck this year! Dad and I will be hunting Oregon this year as my wife and I moved to the SW part of the state in February. Looking forward to trying to find elk in new-to-me country once again!

Awesome. Good luck with everything. My wife and I were in Idaho in May. Awesome trip. She harvested a Wolf.
Just watched your video. Great stuff! I live in OR. Season starting soon but if you need any insight on where to go feel free to drop me a line.
Well done on the video....I too hunt traditional bow, that is if it's not rifle season..
Very nice video! Elk are amazingly beautiful animals. The fun ends when you get one on the ground. The area you were hunting looks like it would have been a long pack out of there. I've often wondered if there are folks around who have pack animals that would pack it out for hunters (for a fee of course). Are you going back this year?
I hunted with trad gear for 24 years. I shot a longbow. Blew my shoulders out at work. I can no longer use trad. Both shoulders need replaced. Sadly I'll have to use a crossbow.
I'm a simple kind of guy, I see a trad bow and I like.
Yes
Nice video , is that Toelke D longbow?
It’s actually a Kohannah longbow, built by Bob Rousselo of La Salle, MI for my dad. He struggled to shoot it well, so I inherited it haha
Are you a new elk hunter ?
You now there are elk at lower elevation
Wonderful videography and an even greater father/son adventure! This exemplifies what hunting is all about perfectly. Well done man!
What is your setup for your traditional bow? I’m looking to get back into traditional archery and want to push myself further than I did when I first started out with a recurve.
I’m shooting a Kohannah longbow, 59# @ 28”, a little heavier at my draw length. My dad shoots a bow built by Tom Cable of Windstorm Archery back in the day. Arrows are Doug firs from Surewood Shafts that we finish, crest, and fletch ourselves. We’ve shot cedars in the past but the quality of those has seemed to decrease so we decided to try Douglas fir and really like them, straight grained, heavier mass weight and generally much more durable.
@@malachinolletti They are both really nice looking bows! Thank you for the information. I would eventually like to get into crafting my own arrows as well. Seems awfully satisfying
what unit were you in? and what area of that unit?
Classic... haha
🤣😂🤣
