- Last fall I got to tag along with Matt and Chad on an elk rifle hunt. With high hopes and lots of anticipation, getting on the mountain was such a good feeling. After a long day of scouting, we had our eyes on a big 7x7 to chase. The bull never stepped out and didn't give us an opportunity for 2 full days. We decided to pack up camp, head off the mountain, eat some taco bell, and we slept in the truck with a game plan for the morning. On the third morning we were glassing as the day came to life, and found a herd of elk over a mile away. We knew we had a long hike in and hopefully a heavy pack out so we emptied our packs for the most part, went in light, and had ourselves one of the best days of elk hunting of our lives. Matt filled his tag on his biggest bull to date! I really hope y'all enjoyed this video and I appreciate you watching! I have a couple elk hunts to film this fall which should be epic and will be posted in the future! I'm going into this season with some camera gear, new tactics and a whole lot more inspiration after editing and putting together all of these hunts from last fall! Best of luck to y'all this upcoming hunting season! God bless y'all!
What a cool bull! Gotta love bulls with character to em
@@elkhornoutdoorsmedia absolutely man!
That is freaking amazing!
@@84KBG right?! thanks!!
Awesome video my friend, keep them coming. I hope the upcoming seasons treat you well!
@@FreezerFillersTV same to you, thank you!! thanks for watching
Great hunting film! I'm glad I discovered your channel! Very cool mature bull. Huge congrats.
@@christinaw2736 thank you! lots of good hunts from last year on the channel already and plenty more huntin vids to come in the near future!
Hey Colby, I just found your channel. (09-04-24) Great job on all your efforts making this video.
I'm happy to see your friends get an awesome elk.
As we go through life, we learn how to do things better and somethings, we'll never do again.
Everything we do has a learning curve. I think you're doing a great job, as time moves on you are only going to improve your skills at whatever you, my do.
So, I hope you pay no attention to the nay sayers in the backfield.
Blessings your way.
Awsome film
thank you! appreciate you watching!
@@colbydawgmediaamazing. How far was that shot?

If you don't mind... can I ask where you got your music from for this video?
@@Sean_Williams98 all from artlist, paid subscription of $20 a month I believe
wow

Incredible country. Great footage. Watching from Australia. I hunt Samba deer Victorian high country. Can't understand why you guys have to get tags to hunt deer over there? New subscriber👍👍
thank you! appreciate the sub and glad you enjoyed! We need tags for many different reasons. Every unit and state is different with their laws and tag systems. The main idea of tags is to keep the herds at a good number conservation wise and to basically not wipe them all out
Colorado?
Silly question - what trailer are you guys using?
I honestly don't have a clue unfortunately, but it was sweet for sure!
Caliber and bullet? Maybe I missed it.
@@jfly1988 6.5 Prc 143 eldx
@@colbydawgmedia Very impressive. In my 40 years of hunting, I can't think of any other bullet that has stirred more controversy than the Hornady ELDX bullet for hunting. Last season was my first time to ever use any Hornady rifle bullet. The ELDX and ELDM performed the same on deer for me from my 7PRCs.
Awesome as always, my friend. Keep them coming, and I hope the upcoming seasons treat you well!
Which Maven spotter is that??
@@bmit8977 i believe it’s the CS.1A - 15-45x65 and he absolutely loves it
What did he tape out?
"FULL DEEP FREEZER". - THE REAL TAPE JOB.
Amen to that, on the wall and the best meat on the market in the freezer!
Is that a custom rifle?
@@Accuracy1st yes 6.5 prc
@@colbydawgmedia What are the specs? I've got a Blackline, a BadRock, two Tikka Roughtechs, and a custom tikka on the way with a Brux barrel, all 6.5PRC. I've got a Bartlein, K&P, and another Brux on hand in 8 twist 6.5mm for more projects. Trying to decide on 6.5-284 Norma, PRC, and I may build ONE 6.5CM
Great film! What camera and lenses did you shoot it with?
thank you! canon R with a 24-240mm lens. I upgraded to the canon R5 for this upcoming seaosn with the same lens
@@colbydawgmedia Awesome, thank you!
I can tell you guys did a great job on this video and put in alot of work, but its completely unwatchable for people who dont like the sound of smacking and chewing of food. The camera man was acting like this was some kind of national ASMR mukbang championship or something.. lol
Is it legal to hunt without guns the day before the season opens in the state you're in?
lol it’s not called hunting the day before the season. It’s called scouting. Perfectly legal.
yes it is legal to scout before your hunt for as long as you want
hunting without guns.... never heard that one before
@@jaybraccini4066😂😂😂 👍
Finally some hunters are using nightforce instead of that vortex crap.
they both love their binos and spotters, they always argue over who's is better😂
Lol..paid sponsorship
Us normal people use NIGHTFORCE ❤
Nightforce is fine but Vortex is just as good or better
They are not even in the same category. Look and watch how the nightforce test scopes by smashing them and drop tests. There's a reason why the military use them for contracts. Vortex are cheap Chinese overpriced optics that's why you get and need life time warranty. Don't get me wrong I bought into the vortex bullshit hype and bought the expensive binos because of advertisements but never again.
Razor LHT > Everything
i just dont know why you guys shoot at elk so dam far away. you could so easily close that gap to at least 400yards. imo anything over 500 yards is not the most ethical shot.
@@ethangurganus2289 thats why opinions are opinions. these guys practice and know their equipment. people can shoot any weapon at a farther distance than the average hunter if they practice enough and have the right equipment and confidence. everyone has different capabilities. with that opportunity and the hunter knowing he is capable and confident in that shot, why move closer. He should be rewarded for practicing enough, knowing his equipment and making a far shot count when he needed it to. 400 is no different than 800 when it comes to different equipment and different practice amounts/skill/confidence levels
@colbydawgmedia "can" and "should" are totally different. 400 and 800 are absolutely different when you talk about shooting an animal in its vitals with adverse conditions. I'd never tell anyone that they "can't" shoot at that distance, but I sure would ask why and explain the problems I have with it from a hunters perspective. Ensuring a clean kill should be a real hunters #1 priority. And in my strong opinion, shooting one at 700 to 800 yards is not doing that. To each their own, but bullets lose velocity and energy at distance. That equals more room for error on not only the shooter, but the equipment as well.
@@colbydawgmedia I have a few long range set ups so I'm not casting stones BUT if he practiced at those distances as much as you say, he's not sailing that first one over the back. To answer your question above..."why move closer"....its to reduce the chance of error. Even in the most ideal situations, things can happen. Glad your buddy got his bull, congrats to him & you guys sharing the hunt.
I don't so much have a problem with folks who are practiced and capable of taking these shots doing it, my concern is others who are not seeing it and thinking it's the thing to do if given the chance. Maybe if you are taking these shots and posting for public consumption take a few minutes and talk about it along with the amount of practice required, etc....
Practice, practice, practice and practice, know your rifle 500 yards nothing.
Learn to stalk into range and take Ethical shots
@@markgray6982 in that situation there was one opening before nothing but timber and that bull was gone forever with that many cows. the shooter knows and trusts his gear and made it count. obviously rushed the first shot, got a 2nd chance and made it count. I just film it, I don’t call the shots
The ethical police 😂 let me see the law book on ethics please so I can make sure I do it right. You people would loose your minds if you saw a Mississippi dog hunt for deer
Okay ROAD HUNTER😅
While I agree to a point I think that "ethical" is different for everyone. To me unethical would be purposely exceeding your limits or comfort zone in hopes of making the shot vs practice and experience/skill. If you can only comfortably shoot 300yds than an almost 700yd shot would be unethical for you, knowing your limits.
@@Harry_Ballsonya love this, absolutely. well said
Try sneaking up on him you wouldn't stand a chance...very poor hunting ethics...and I'm a elk hunter
@@douglasskersick9598 no disrespect but these guys are too. they shoot them with bows up close, they shoot them with rifles at a distance. they can kill them anyway that gives them a different challenge and however makes them happy. long range takes patience, practice and we still hunted hard, hiked many miles, slept in 10 degrees in a tent on the mountain, and roughed it out for 5 days. poor ethics is going out without knowing your equipment and capabilities like many hunters do, doesn’t matter the weapon. these guys know their equipment, practice year round, and know their limits and what they are capable of
😂another "Mr Judge of all".
Who made you the authority.
Bull went for only a few yards & dead quickly. = ethical for HIM.
I've seen several questionable shots at close range over the years, by hunters with bows & rifles alike.
Go be a kill-joy some place else, Mr "elk hunter".😂😂😂
Just my opinion but I sure hope you guys don’t call yourself hunters..shooting a bull that doesn’t even know your anywhere in the country. It’s a selfless act. Anything over 400 yards is ridiculous and not fare to the animal.
@@bridgerdemers3349 opinions are opinions. for myself, I strictly bowhunt 95% of the time. and if i do gun hunt its muzzleloader or rifle and im shooting no farther than 100 yards. my opinion is that 400 is no different than 800. the animal doesn’t know your there 99% of the time unless you are closer than 150-200. we hiked miles to get back there, and the shooter practiced all summer to dial and get to know his gear. it’s just a different legal style of hunting and we put our time and efforts in
@@colbydawgmedia I agree 100 percent. Not doubting hunter put in the efforts. I hunt with a 243, have my entire life. Killed over 20 bulls with it all under 400 range. To me anything over that is just not hunting, but yes I understand that’s where hunting is going nowadays. Still congrats on the bull, looks like fun hunt regardless.
@@bridgerdemers3349 it was a fun hunt for sure and it was definitely different seeing an animal get shot at that distance. I personally like to get close as I can, the closer the more intense and I do believe I’m giving whatever animal it is more of a chance in a way, I totally understand where you’re coming from as the idea that they have no idea we are there because we’re so far away. Long distance is definitely getting to be a bigger thing but I’m definitely gonna stick to my bow for the majority of the time. I got some good bow hunts to film this fall that I’ll be posting later this year, hope you come across em! best of luck this season!
@@bridgerdemers3349
They are mostly gamblers
Slammer
You are not what you think you are.
@@user-fl5th7hv2d not sure what that means, got a lot of different videos on this channel with different hunts, check em out and you might think different, we do it all and have fun doing it
How many shots that take that wasn't shown. You to scared to put a stalk on.
