Such positive vibes. Loved this episode!
When I saw that first big bull you scouted my jaw dropped, my gosh was he awesome
As a soon to be 70 yr old, I truly enjoy your shows! You film the ups and downs of hunting’s successes and defeats in the truest of fashions. UffDa is right...lol. The fact that you value the experience more than the get is really what it is all about! Thanks and keeping my fingers crossed to win a hunt.
Glad you enjoy it!
The best unit
muy bueno
Dang wind! Great video!
OH MAN!!!! Great show Randy!
Yeah, OH MAN!!! What I wouldn't give to have that shot back.
I have a couple of shots like that which I'd love to have back too!!!
Wow! Excellent
Great storytelling. Best wishes for your next elk hunt.
Thanks. I wish it was a different outcome, but such is how it goes at times.
top video mate! and good luck for next rut. cheers.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
What your video just said is Honesty! Elk Hunting is not easy even in rut with the best of callers... Great Video!
I wish it had a different ending, but that is how it goes sometimes. Thanks for watching.
As Ray says in Trailer Park Boys, "That's the way she goes"
Keep up the good work!
Great video randy. Why I love watching your videos don't always get them .. But we keep going
Thanks. That one is etched in my memory until the ends of time. Uggh!
@@Fresh_Tracks Here is my memory moment. I was 16 years old. It was October 4 1980. 7 of us split up and I went up an unsuspecting ridge off an old logging road. I was catching my breath and started making some little grunts like a bull does after the bugle. I hear the the sound of a big animal getting up. Maybe 75 yards the biggest 6 point bull I have ever seen walks up out of the brushy draw to the open hillside in the bright sunshine. I pull my 740 30-06 up and catch him in the scope and pull the trigger before my stock hits my shoulder. He takes off over the hill. I was looking for blood where he was standing and hear 5 shots and then 5 more. I never saw blood or hair, only jagged tracks headed toward the shooting. I look for a couple hours and it started to get dark so I headed back to the pickup. Everyone but Dad was there. A couple hours later a local farmer drives up to where we were. The shots were Dad's. He heard a different bull bugle and put the sneak on him. No snow on the ground so Dad kept putting holes in the big bull until he fell over.When we skinned the bull it had 9 bullets in it with 4 in the head and neck. We did not write down the weight of the quarters but I remember the neck weighed 50 lbs and the hide weighed 82 lbs. (we ran out of pack boards and I carried the hide rolled up in my arms like a baby). We had a hunting partner that hunted the Selway from 1960's on. He said the bull would have been near a thousand pounds live. I close my eyes and can still see the one I missed. But I can walk to my hallway and see the rack off the one Dad killed. RIP Dad I miss you every day.
"UFF da" the Minnesota came out 😆
And I commented too early. You're right about. Taking the time to hunt with your son. Ron Jr and I hunted Colorado 3rd rifle last year and we had a great time but didn't score. Ron missed a nice Mule deer buck at around 200 yds, and I passed on a small one. We had a great bonding hunt!
🚗🎯
Thank you for you reply, I love to watch you videos I feel that I watch 3 D move and I am part of the hunt keep up that good work.
Randy.
We saw here in the East, "red sky in the morning, sailor take warning. Red sky at night sailors delight! Nice hunt!
Yup. I use that a lot when fishing.
Arizona, from the Mogollon all the way through the Kaibab got hammered with snow this year. Should be good hunting over the next couple of years with all the water.
"Next Year Newberg"! Haha. Great footage, though. I'm excited to someday hunt elk in AZ on the Rim.
I hope you do. It is a great time. Thanks for watching.
Hi Randy, once again great hunt.....really like your videos. I also like your gear....specially those nice Bino bags in the front, never seen them before......definitely not here yet in South Africa.
Thanks for watching. You can get that bino harness at www.FHFGear.com
Well , there is a reason why those bulls grow that big.Nice video.
Yeah, but if I had done my job, he would have been done growing bigger. Thanks for watching.
This is the first year since I've started hunting I was not able to spend time with my Dad. We both killed great bucks this year 1200 miles apart, but it just wasn't the same.
BOM is not good for me, what happen your rifle?
Randy you are 100% correct on that one do it with the ones you love! I am lucky my Son's do not live far from me so we Hunt allot together ever since they were Young and there Mother Also loves Hunting and we have been on many Trips as a Family.
Fortunately, he is coming deer hunting with me this season. It will be the highlight of the year.
Randy Newberg, Hunter Enjoy every Minute of it!! My two sons and I are going for Caribou in September I cannot wait. Something we have wanted to do for a really long time and finally it has all come together.
Really enjoyed this episode. I can't wait to take my 5 year old boy hunting.
I’d love to hear how that’s hunt went🤝
you will get wan your awesome
Damn wind! A 7mm rem mag would do the job on that hunt..! great hunt Randy :p
Damn wind is right, but if the shooter (me) fails to hold for the wind, the result is probably the same. Difference in that wind between a 7mm and a .308 is about 3-4", depending on the loads/bullets compared. I would have still missed, or made a marginal hit. Just a big mistake on my part.
with 7mm rem mag would've been different ending on that elk hunt :)
Hi Randy I live in California and I have not see any video of you hunting in California and I just get my hunting to go hunt. By watching all you videos it will be very hard.
Unfortunately, we have not been to CA and given our model is to show people the opportunity that exists on public lands in the Rocky Mountain States, we probably will not get to CA. We also have not been to OR or WA. Sorry about that. I hope you find some information in our content that is worthwhile. Best of luck to you.
Uff da - classic upper Midwest Scandinavian saying 🤣. Yooper approved
Randy, do you do all your rifle hunts with a .308 caliber or do you have several Howa rifles in different calibers for different types of hunts?
I have all kinds of chambered Howa rifles; .308, .300 Win Mag, 7mm-.08, .270 Win, .22-250, .222 Rem, .300WSM, and multiple of some cartridges. Just depends on what I am hunting and where (weight concerns).
hey Randy my name is Tate and I'm a big fan of your show and I watched them all and I continue to watch them over and over again I never get tired of them, I'm an avid hunter and in my ten years of hunting I've only got three deer and one spike elk, I've been wanting to hunt with you for a while since I started watching your show either a hunt here in Idaho of in Montana and I have a really bad lung problem from an ammonia accident and not sure how many more years I have so hopefully we can hunt together soon
Very sorry to hear that, Tate. I hope your condition improves. As you might expect, we get hundreds of requests to have people join us or us join them. They are all requests I would love to take up, but given how busy we are producing the content we have promised the groups who fund our platform, I don't have time to take any of those kind invitations. I wish it was different. I hope you understand. You are in my prayers.
+Randy Newberg, Hunter I totally understand and thanks, one of the biggest questions I have to ask is are you gonna try to do some hunts here in Idaho cause that would be awesome there some really great hunts here and I haven't really seen anyone come here to hunt they thinks it's to hard to find anything and film at the same time if you came here you could prove them wrong by hunting here giving and elk or deer or black bear or wolf or Mountain Lion the howa handshake and catch it on film on public land
.shoot a .300 instead of a
.308 and dont have that much wind drift at 400 yards. You would have killed that elk with a better BC and more speed. This is exactly why I stopped hunting elk with the .308, 20 years ago. I have been using a .300wsm now for 12 years. 165gr TSX barnes @ 3300fps. MPBR is 400 yards. Anything under 500 is a chip shot in wind speeds up to 15mph. I think if you would have waited for a better broad side shot, you would have scored. I too have missed a +390 in late season. Its hunting, thanks for being real. I think your hunts are the best out there !!! What a big bull he would have scored way up there.... Wow !!
Is there ever a chance of a waterfowl hunt in the fresh tracks future? I know there was talk of Randy waterfowl hunting with the older gents (ole and Steven I think) on that Montana whitetail hunt. Just though with all the public waterfowl access out west that might be a possibility.
+kerr dogger - I hunt a lot of waterfowl, but not for the TV show. Sponsors want us to demonstrate western big game hunts, and that is what we do. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching.
+Randy Newberg, Hunter Gotcha, you'll have to get DU and Beretta on board, haha. Love what you guys are doing On Your Own Adventures, MeatEater, and Fresh Tracks have all inspired me to take the leap and plan a hunt. From the forest & fields of western Wisconsin to the high country of south western Colorado for an OTC public land elk hunt. This fall can't come soon enough.
I have a late season Arizona bull tag this year in 5A. You're more than welcome to tag along Randy lol.
Good luck. I'll be out filming in WY and ID at that time.
Thanks. Good luck to you as well. Was this hunt in 4A?
Nope. We don't tell people where we hunt, but this was not in 4A. We did an antelope hunt in 4A the following year and I did see some nice bulls down in Chevlon Canyon.
I've got 3A/3C the last week in November. It's the first time I've actually been drawn for elk.
My dad and his brothers all got drawn for a late 5A hunt a few years ago. All 4 of them filled their tags. It's a great area.
Good luck!
there is nothing like Arizona elk season. I was raised deer hunting in Minnesota and always thought nothing could ever beat it. AZ elk hunting does.
Always happens on a Monster. Been a rag horn you would have dropped him in his tracks. I have watched most all your episodes and you don’t usually miss. It happens to the best of us. I want to go bad. Hunting whitetails my whole life I sometimes think how can you miss a animal the size of a quarter horse but my Late Father always told me it is way easier to miss than to drill him.
Once again helluva video. Thanks
hey Randy are you gonna do any Idaho hunts
I always try, but never draw and the general season dates never fit our calendar.
That's why 308 cartridge is outdated and obsolete. Ballistics in so many other cartridges are so much better it makes me wonder why people still use it. Love your show though. You find elk just by looking at maps and finding these areas. Keep up the good work
The .308 Win is far more capable than I am. If I miss, it is operator error. There are some great cartridges today, but I have had great luck with a .308 Win when I do my ob. Thanks for watching.
Using a 300 mag with that distance and windage would have changed the bullet path by 2 inches. Still a miss. 308 is a fine cartridge and as Randy said, it was the operator. Shooting in wind is tough, especially when you are sitting in a spot where it feels fairly calm but the bull is out in the wind.
Agreed on a different cartridge selection. I've been researching 6.5 CM and the wind deflection for the 6.5 vs. 308 is substantial at longer ranges - not sure at under 400 yards though. N.AZ is notorious windy/gusty and perhaps this shot might have had a different outcome with that cartridge. EDIT: found this link ballistic data. If I'm reading this correctly, at 400 yds. the wind drift difference between the two cartridges (at 20 mph assuming tables are for 10 mph, multiply by 2) would be approx 4-5 inches. Therefor, WITH OPERATOR ERROR it would have likely been a hit. www.lrs-usa.com/2017/04/13/new-shooters-101-caliber-selection/
I just stick to my trusty 30-06
Randy I have 6 points for AZ. What unit was this, my plans are for unit 1 late rifle what do you think? I plan on using a 26 nosler for this hunt what is your opinion on that caliber?
We don't give unit numbers. Suffice to say, Unit 1 is a great hunt. A 26 Nosler will take an elk at most hunting ranges by placing high quality bullets in the right location.
Unit 9 is a good hunt
What unit ??? I didn't draw this year Ill take a less desirable hunt
Matthew was using a long action caliber?
Yes, Matthew was using a long action caliber - .300 Win Mag.
I thought the bolt looked to long to be a 308...
I love the cross wind comments and then in the video literally not one of the plants are moving.
And you were there in that canyon on that evening. Funny stuff.
Randy Newberg, Hunter I'm not mocking wether or not it was true I was laughing because the irony. I know how canyons work and for people that dont know im sure it looks funny.
What unit are you hunting in
We don't give units.
Why the music so loud in the intro? I could barely hear the voice
Coming back next year for a Unit 9 rifle hunt?? LOL...
A guy can always dream ;).
That's why it's called Hunting, not Killing...
Unfortunately, I have to provide evidence to support that statement every once in a while. Thanks for watching.
Funny!! But happens to all of us!!
Hi Randy, Did I see something the other day about you and a Wyoming elk permit or something along those lines?
Hmmm. Not sure. I've not yet applied for Wyoming, but I will this week.
Sorry, I thought I had seen where you had applied for or heard that you had a Wyo elk. Guess I misunderstood sorry. Good Luck with the draw. My Az Javalina got cancelled, I had hurt my back and have been going thru recovery. My next chance is Az bull elk then Nv. Good Luck in all your draws this year.
Randy, I really love your show and I understand why you shoot a 300 win mag. Howa rifle. Great rifles and a great cartridge. What happened to you on this hunt is exactly why I only shoot over bore cartridges. My Weatherby 30-378 Mark V accumark is dead on at 300 yards if sighted in 1 inch high at 100 yards. I've shot this rifle at 900 yards with a 20 mile per hour cross wind and only had to hold half a mil into the wind. My 25 wssm with 100 grain nosler e-tips 3350 fps at the muzzle is dead on at 340 yards if sighted in 2 inches high at 100 yards. I would suggest switching to factory loaded Nosler long range ammo. Because the ballistic coefficient is so much higher with this ammo it should take a lot of the guess work out of the longer shots. I really appreciate your honesty and integrity in making your shows.
Thanks. I can assure you that many shows would not present the reality of a miss on such a fine bull. But, we are not about creating heroes, rather telling true stories of how it happens.
Trying to film myself and the complications of that, took my focus off the actual shot. Not a good excuse, but give me that shot 100 times without that complication of self-filming and finding filming lanes through the burnt oaks, and I will make that shot 99 times. Purely operator error that is not a fault of equipment.
Thanks for watching.
I hear ya! Thanks for your response. That would be difficult trying to film yourself like that. I miss too! I've missed shots that I should've made more than I would like to admit, without camera equipment!
I appreciate you showing the hunt for what it really was. I backpack hunt and get frustrated when I see nothing. I know they are there. I see the tracks and the droppings. I just don't see them! I have a lot to practice to do behind the bino's and spotting scope because my glassing skills need work.
The music is to overdramatic at times, makes it very hard to watch.
I just shot my first deer
Congratulations.
Randy, what’s your email address, I want to send you a elk / bear video.
