  • After a long bow hunt in Montana, Adam finally got a big bull elk with his bow. Archery hunting for elk is a challenge, but has its rewards. On the way home, the rack was stolen out of the back of the pickup. Thankfully, through the power of social media, the antler buyer, that bought the elk rack off the thief, recognized it and gave it back to Adam. The thief hasn't been caught at this point, and still made bank on a lot of our hunting gear, but that's replaceable, the elk rack isn't. Thank you for your support, and make sure to subscribe!!!

    What a roller coaster of emotions you must have gone through during that adventure. I’m so glad you managed to get the antlers back . Sux that the scumbag removed them from the scull and recked the cape tho . And managed to get away with your hunting gear. The whole experience must have been so stressful. I hope they catch the prick that did this and he gets prosecuted to the full extent of the law .
    This is definitely my favourite US hunting channel. You and your lady are absolute legends . I love watching all your adventures. Keep up the good work . Much love and all the best for the future from all of us Hunters in Australia.

    Adam, big huge congrats on a fantastic hunt, that's a dandy of a bull.. I n your words a Giant. You are a great hunter and a stand up gent for being a great husband and especially. A great Father to your adoptive children. I'm proud of you as a fellow Alaskan. I'm super grateful your stolen rack was found and able to be retrieved. It will evoke memories for years to come. Quite a hunt and a year for you.
    Travis and Thom Sneider are amazing hunters and guides. I'm amazed at their adventures and incredible hunts as I follow them on the adventures on Stuck in the Rut, its a top shelf TH-cam channel, always great content, as always, I'm waiting for the next great episode to drop.

    Nice bull, but hate to hear this had happened! I can't stand a thief!
    I always stay on a first floor hotel room when traveling back with an elk rack. We park close to a side exit of the hotel, and carry the rack to the room out of sight through that side door, and usually pretty late at night. Honestly, it smells pretty rough when we return to the room after the "continental breakfast" the next morning, like someone died in there a week earlier!
    We'll leave a $20 in the room for the cleaning person, which isn't really enough to get that stank out! 😁

    One thing that blows my mind is first thing Adam says is "Man they're so much smaller than a moose"!!! 😳😳😳 Really??!!! I've never seen either but are moose really that much bigger than an elk?? I mean obviously I know moose are bigger but I guess I didn't realize HOW much bigger.

    • @nburlingame

    Really wish the antler buyer had invested in good security cameras. If this thief did it once ... he will surely do it again. Chances are it looked like a crime of opportunity so he could be living in the area. Glad you got the meat and the antlers. Gear loss hurts for sure ... What the thief got was a pattern of behavior in his mind that will only lead him downhill.

    I'm confused on the shot and timing. You have patterned the elk at night to this water hole. You say you're pretty exposed and 5 minutes before shooting light. The video is quite dark, which I know video recording can appear more dark. I like your videos and channel, but this has me scratching my head that the legal taking of this bull is questionable.
