I normally don’t comment on videos or posts. But you guys are showing everything that hunting can be. All of us are very thankful for that. All these people commenting your horrible people for taking that shot or for not punching your tag anyway. They are acting like they have never made a mistake or just been human. Keep up the good work guys, thanks for showing the real side of hunting and not just these TH-camrs that only show success.
DONT SUPPORT STUPID HUNTER....THIS IS WHY THERES ANI HUNTERS FOR SHIT LIKE THIS
The point is that bad of a mistake is hard to defend and should not have been made; and that if your going to be hunting mature bull elk you should be more prepared and careful about it. It is completely indefensible to just burry an arrow in a big mature bull elks hind leg and just look around for a few hours and call it a day.
Best of luck to you fellas this year in the rest of your seasons. You have inspired me to be the best hunter I can be, but that comes second to being a good Christian man. You guys are living proof god works in full circle . You get what you put in. Thank you for documenting you’re guys view of something we all love!
We have all tried that pair of shoes on. Do your do diligence, then get back in the game. My dad told me when I was young man son, shooting sticks at animals is not always easy, didn’t understand that the time. Now I totally understand it.
Bill seems like a very humble man! He made a bad shot and expressed his feelings about it. Better luck next time
Thanks for sharing this video. Great sportsmanship in not giving up, learning, growing and sober respect for the animal. This is a necessary video to see for people like myself that have never gone elk hunting. And a fairly new deer hunter. Learn from your mistakes and get back up again. Praise the Lord for the opportunity to be out in his creation and steward the beasts of the field.
It was great to see you guys out there! Glad you got into some elk!
I appreciate you guys sharing this moment with us. As soon as that bull took that step I told myself to hold. The arrow was already mid flight. It's tough to see, worse to experience.
I also value your attempts to relocate the bull. Thank you again for sharing!
I don’t even hunt, but I watch all of your videos. Love what y’all stand for.
Respect because most people wouldn’t put that shot in a video ❤
I can’t wait for this Ohio giant video to drop!
Just from someone who's had experience. Be at full draw when you call. Live and learn. That's all you can do. Love that yall are hunting out west. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Thank you for your service love an use your app a lot. An love watching seek one. Buck of grate down to earth guys
This could be the hardest intro to a hunting video ever. The edits/music are incredible!
Antelope is my very favorite of all the wild game. All depends on how it was field dressed.
Y’all don’t pretend you hit that bull in the ribs or the stomach you dead center back ham
They're fundies and prayed about it, that makes walking' away from that butt shot elk OK.
Great film man ! Love it , looking forward to next fall !
Love the vids keep it up
Wasn't your scent they caught was those squirrels warning chatters they heard. Squirrels are the forests alarm system.
I always anticipate the movement forward or downward
Shit happens, don’t act like you’ve never missed
@@jameswalsh9857 Didn’t say I never missed I was just commenting on the post didn’t ask anything from the peanut gallery
@@jasonsmiley5514the way you worded your comment made it sound like you never mess up.
Man I love you content so much I always can’t wait till the next video is out
What an amazing experience. I would love ❤️ to experience that.
Nice video👍👍. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and people! IT'S CALLED HUNTING, NOT KILLING for this very reason. Sometimes things happen, and you learn from them and move on.
Is that handgun holster sold with the Vortex Bino harness? Love the content you post and the fact you are not ashamed of your faith!
Is Spartan Forge ever going to be available for Canada (Alberta specifically in my case) ?
Natureza de Deus
Love the videos I would love to meet u and learn about bow hunting
Its easy. Find out where tge big u hunted deer are.
Just ask people that have land that don't hunt.
def dont shoot like ole boy might be one of the worst sequence leading up to the shot ive ever seen
34:25 Amen! I've been on a hunt with the opposite and had success harvesting but wasn't at all a successful hunt!
Could ya'll do a gear dump for what is necessary on a week long elk hunt?
Honestly ask more hard-core western hunters like HP or BRO. They'd give you better advice
Born and Raised Outdoors (BRO) has some great ones and they live for elk hunting.
Piss poor shot!!!!
Piss poor Way under utilized description!!
Hold your head up! I've done 3 DIY's in the Coeur d'alene. No elk for me but my hunting partner killed 2 bulls. That in itself is the next best thing to being there. (There) is killing one yourself. Good job. Mountain hunting is rough.
You’re not allowed to use a light on sight in Montana FYI
Better than saying a good fire and warm friends...😂
It happens to everyone that bow hunts. Definitely wasn’t because the bull moved though. Still would have hit waaaay back. Just need to practice more
That's what I was thinking. Even had he been standing still that shot was guts. Oh well man it is a tough part of hunting.
That’s a great hunting spot I have hunting a lot there have you guys been hunting wolves yet that a kick in the ass hunt mainly long shots
If spartan forge had onx map layers it would be awesome. It's overall better tha onx except the layering,onx blows it away. Showing public land, private , wma areas,etc.
Them chick monks were screaming letting the elk know your there it happens to us all the time
How much does this hunt cost?
NOT THAT MUCH UNLESS U LEASING LAND OR HIRE A GUIDE, IF U HUNT PUBLIC AND HUNT WITHOUT GUIDE U JUST HAVE TO DRAW A TAG IN THE LOTTERY WHICH IS AROUND 1000-1500 LICENSE AND TAG
That’s tough. Was a bad shot even before the last step.
@@aSkyTits I mean the seek one guys are usually decent about it. Thp is really good. But yeah a lot of TH-camrs take just shit shots and run shit set ups I agree
@@aSkyTits no I get it. Chris bee is extremely extremely knowledgeable when it comes tos eating up bows and tuning but one of the worst hunters I’ve ever seen. Completely in agreement with you.
Antelope is my favorite over elk and deer. Most people I know say the same. I have never heard anyone say that pronghorn doesn't taste good.
What chest holster is that, is it somehow incorporated into your bino harness?
Marsupial is the brands name
@@mattycola03 he used to use a marsupial bino harness, but this one’s a Vortex. Just curious how he has the holster attached
Ya totally man… perfectly executed…
Despite living in CO I have never gone after elk. I want to, I just don't want to solo.
When is the Ohio buck video coming out
He should not be shooting 50 yards 😢
😂😂😂 and you shouldn’t shoot anything.
some of the best elk hunting content I've ever watched, great stuff!
DEFINITELY went through hip and into intestines. The broadhead absolutely tore up the intestines.
The elks death would be long and painful. FACT!!! Septic shock! Punch your tag. I did on a cow! It happens but at least tell the truth so others may learn!
New video,let's go 🎉🎉
When did they make the switch to Mathews? Werent they sponsered by Hoyt?
Best hunting channel on the tube
Lol
Anybody thats ever hunted public land elk, know for a fact these elk live and love their unpressured private lands. 😢
First
Was a terrible choice to make that shot.
Why? How would he know it was gonna walk? If it didn’t move he woulda got it.
This video has more views than mine in 3mins 😂😭
Videos been out for an hour and these people are already talking shit and asking for a different video to come out. Relax people and enjoy that they show the good and the bad.
Rarely they make an ethical bow hunter shot. It's all for content. Show me the last video besides a doe that's dropped in frame
@@twigsanglingdefine ethical bow hunting shot. Been hunting for 15+ years now and shit definitely happens. You learn when not to take a shot mostly. My last big buck I heart punched ran 400 yards so dropping in frame doesn’t mean anything.
Regardless if the thing died or not, guy makes a horrible shot, wounds the poor elk and goes on to say “still one of the best nights of my life” the lack of remorse is disgusting. Exactly the type of thing that makes the hunting community look bad.
I really believe in staying in your lane. If you want to hunt other species do it but don’t film it and hurt your brand…serious elk hunters don’t like seeing bad shots especially when you have a reputation of wounding whitetails in the suburbs and are nonchalant about it too. I haven’t watched the whole video started reading comments and said Oh Boy got to watch this sh$t unfold
Are you guys going to ever do a broadhead update??
Expandables beast rage ect😊
Hey drew and friend, I know there are a lot of hate comments or at least critique comments (so I wanted to do something different). The shot was obviously not a good shot and looking back at it I know you guys agree the shot shouldn’t have been taken, but it was and that’s ok. All of us western archery hunters (that are halfway decent and get close to animals) know the feeling of busting ass and finally getting a shot. Sometimes nerves get to us and we take a less than ideal shot. Elk are tough and that elk may shake the shot off, he also may not, but shit happens and that’s ok. Live and learn, now you know what not to do lol. Love you guys and it’s always good to show the times that don’t go well and educate people on how to not make the same mistakes. Don’t let these wannabe hunters ruin your day with hate comments. “Stay hard” -Goggins
I have been checking everyday....when are you guys gonna post the video of the monster?
First one here baby
This guy simply wasn’t ready for a big game hunt yet. That shot was rushed and he knew it. Be a man, PUNCH YOUR TAG and own it.
Just celebrities coming in jacking up local herds and wounding animals, nothing new to see here. Normally I've never had anything but good to say about Seek 1 but this is a bad look man.
When you have an obvious fatal shot (which that was) that you can't recover (because it was such a poor shot), the ethical thing to do is to tear up your tag. You killed an elk, even though it died a long and horrible death. To call a deep gut shot like you made non-fatal is beyond absurd. If you were in the army, you have to know what the consequences of an untreated gut shot are. That elk died, but he probably went a long way before he went down.
Unethical hunter, gives the anti hunters more ammo. Since they're fundamentalist Christians it makes it OK when they prayed about it.........
It hit his leg, not the guts
@@brittrobertson7323 It went right through the upper front part of the bull's leg, but it went deep enough that it went right through the animal's intestines. That is a gut shot, and it WILL eventually be fatal.. Anybody who hunts will likely make a bad shot at some point. There is no way to avoid it, especially if the animal moves unexpectedly. However, it is what you do afterwards that determines whether or not you are an ethical hunter. If you make a poor shot, but the animal will likely die, and you are not able to recover the animal for whatever reason, it is time to go home and hunt again another year.
I love your videos
First he gang 😂
That’s hunting sometimes you win and sometimes you lose
love it im a hunter i shot a 8 point that was really wide
If anyone paid attention to the shot placement compared to the ground the shot was actually where he wanted IF the bull hadn’t started to walk right when he shot shit happens and we learn from these experiences
More elk run off and die by gun shot wounds than arrows, FACT!! Non resident and newbies herd shooting! Minnesotans are by far the worst at shooting without knowing what they are shooting at. Know this from years of experiences. I have helped the Fish and Game bring 15 Minnesotans to justice over my years. Multiple groups.
Posting this hunt/shot is going to hurt bowhunters worldwide
im 20 mins into video and i see you guys legit gut shot an elk; not only that, but not even close to being a front shot, all way back infront of the back leg location. How bad can you legit be??? Aim small, miss small; practice practice practice .... that all i gotta say on matter!
Imma guess ya probably didnt find elk neither sigh ....
In future when ya in that situation, and ya know ya made bad shot, ya need to wait 24 hours, before going looking for the animal; especially with it being bigger animal (whitetail vs Elk). let em' lay and die over night, have greater chance finding them for a recover. And 2nd, i recommend calling a thermal drone company that recovers hunting animals for living. ( like the deer drone recovery company for example ) May cost ya $550 to recover it, but least ya find the animal, and not put it to waste over your f*ck up!
Bad shots happen hey man not everyone can say they have shot at a elk keep up the hard work
That was awful. This type of media gives fuel to the antis. Archery hunters should hold themselves to a higher standard. If you can’t make a clean kill/ethical shot, don’t take a shot!
This is a prime example why people should run heavy arrow set ups. This should never have happened.
He would’ve missed entirely with a heavy setup
Prime example why out of state hunters shouldnt be here hunting the elk. Who takes a shot like that man what a waste🙄🙄
Personally I think he rushed the shot but then again just a really un lucky shot he took a step forward as he released. Has nothing to do with out of state hunters
Hope you stay in your own state and hunt and never leave after saying that. Not every outta state person is a bad apple.
It’s apart of hunting😂😂 if you’re gonna sit there and tell me you put a perfect shot on every deer you fired on your full of shit💀💀
Too many out of state hunters now. You can’t go anywhere in the mountains now without seeing a group of hunters.
Bills like
Get that Fing lite out of my eyes dude. With green or red leds why do ppl still use white lite old school
Plenty of big game have been killed with arrows still in them. Many go years and years. This is the unfortunate part of hunting. None of us hunters intend to wound an animal and leave. These animals will adapt to what happened.
Amateurs!
Why did you have to comment this. It was not necessary.
So it's not true that wolves have "devastated Montana's elk herds?" Go figure.
Certain areas are way worse than others
@@Hentylion - Of course. SW Colorado elk numbers are bad. And we don't have wolves or grizzlies. A goal of bringing wolves back was to reduce an elk herd that was over-consuming its resources in Yellowstone NP. Mission accomplished.
@@bearsmartdurango true. Well you think elk numbers are bad now buckle up
@@Hentylion - Not worried about it. As long as the state wildlife agancy adapts. As mentioned, elk numbers have increased in western states since wolves were brought back.
Honestly a lot of your videos, you guys just don’t pick your shots at all. The production and editing on these videos are great but you aren’t putting great shots on these animals whatsoever. It’s kind of sad how many videos you guys have posted where you have chosen to take terrible shots
Total shame putting that bad of a shot on such an animal. Take more care next time and do better, these kinds of mistakes should not be made when hunting especially big game like bull elk.
Obviously you have never hunted. It happens. And be thankful they show it.
You hit a deer or elk you punch your tag that's the ethical thing to do. That was a terrible shot
I couldn’t agree more.
Respectfully neither of you guys have ever archery hunted western big game if this is your take, I’ve butchered 2 different bulls in the field that had broadheads lodged in them from years previous. These animals get gored by other elk during the rut on a yearly basis. That shot was maybe 6-8 inches in the hind quarter. That elk will live to fight another day 100%
Probably the ethical thing to do but it is a "harvest" tag. Shit happens but there's plenty of elk out here and if their numbers were hurting then they would issue less tags. These kinds of things are accounted for in tag numbers.
Elk can live with a broad head in their heart. They don't die easy
@@sapperROSS respectfully that is an overstatement by a mile
The Highs and LOWS of ARCHERY HUNTING, at 20:34 you shot a bull in the HAM or hind Quarter. you didn't kill that Bull so stop beating yourself UP!! PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE is all you can DO. It's a very difficult sport
Not a fan of this little guy! Watched Seek One from the beginning and still can’t remember this kids name. Look forward to more Lee and Kindell vids!
Kindell is the true killer of the channel. Beers and deers!
Drew.
Home boy killed a giant antelope on his third stalk.
What the hell yall pray for its not a family gathering or holiday meal its camping and hunting
prayers just conversation with the lord man I do it all the time
I would say you're watching the wrong channel if this is your thought but honestly this is probably the best channel to watch if that is your thought.
Grandpa said it best. God is nature. The woods are more of a church to me than any stuck up old guy preaching in a brick and mortar location. Also, who gives a fuck if they pray? If you don’t like it don’t watch. Lmao

God has created so much beauty on this earth for US imperfect humans who don’t deserve any of it to enjoy. It’s very surreal to be in Gods beautiful nature with these beautiful creatures so yeah you bet I’m gonna pray and be thankful for all we have to enjoy.
shit happens but as far as i’m concerned you should’ve put your bow away . just injuring an animal and then going for another one ? punch your tag let your buddy hunt .
