I absolutely dream of hunting on the mountain like that everything I am not hunting. The scenery is simply magnificent. To think, most Americans never even see a landscape as beautiful as that. I'm glad I was raised in the wild and taught to respect it. Every time I see videos like yours, it takes me there, and the rest of the world fades out, leaving me and Mother Nature. Thank you for bringing me along in your journey of a lifetime. I look forward to the next one.
I love this! There is something so special about hunting Elk. You could have everything going wrong in your life; cancer, loss of a loved one, family struggles, and yet the second your boots hit the ground that all drifts away. For a moment you have a reprieve. Thank you for making these films for us to live vicariously through and escape for a minute.
A hunt is more than tagging an animal. It is a journey, an experience against the elements, no matter how troublesome they may be, with good friends that cherish the opportunity to be outside. Making memories is what will most remembered…. Nicely done Jason! U all earned that one.
The camaraderie and teamwork is what gets me. I dream of hunts like this and I’ve only been bow hunting whitetails in Pennsylvania. These sorts of videos get me psyched for that one possible day. Love it!
Really enjoyed this. It’s tough for a father/husband to make it to the elk woods every year on an average salary. Not to mention the added stress of being gone for an extended time. My brother and I go as far to split a tag when we go to save cost just to get out there as much as possible. These videos really get me pumped up and keep me pushing.
This really encompasses what a hunt should be in my opinion. The collaboration amongst friends, hard work, grit, perseverance, and amazing animals in amazing country. Congrats!
This embodies the spirit of every hunt. Conquering different weather patterns, great friends and companionship and coming home with a nice trophy. I really liked this film! The opening was a great effect and HD quality throughout. Great job Phelps and Leupold!
That was a great adventure for sure, defiantly a once in a lifetime hunt for most. Congrats to Jason and his team on a successful Elk hunt. Good times.
As an avid elk hunter that enjoys the journey, the tracking, the chess game between man and elk, the fun with friends and family, and just being in beautiful nature is the whole reason for hunting. This is a great video that brings back all the memories I've had and will continue to have as long as I'm able, thanks!!
Congratulations, on a successful hunt, and thanks for accepting my request into the VIP program. A couple of years ago, I purchased a VX 5 HD from your company and I am extremely happy with the product.
Congrats Jason!!!! The area looks so beautiful and also looks like tough and steep area! Glad everyone made it out safe. Again, congrats Jason and thank you for sharing your story with us!
Congratulations on a successful hunt. The harvest was only the cherry on the top. The true success was bringing fellow likeminded hunters outdoorsman together and sharing that success! Awesome!!
There he is! What an adventure! The labour, environment and setbacks one has to go through on such journey truly have the ability to be transformative- congratulations on the harvest!
Love the video and the message of the friendship that happens with the support team helping you along the way. My best memories of elk hunting is not pulling the trigger, but helping friends packing out. Great video!!
*Goosebumps* This is bucket list stuff! I grew up in Africa and learnt to hunt there but this is something else. Such appreciation for the landscape and the magnificent quarry!
This film does a awesome job of showing the viewer what it means to earn it. It’s put together really well and looks like a fun group to be out there in the elements with. 🇺🇸
Fantastic film! Hunting has brought new perspectives and values to life. I hope to be able to share those with my Children. Hard work, determination, patience, failure, success, friendship, teamwork.
Great video, outstanding scenery, and nice companionships! Many of us won't or can't make it on hunts like these, yet I did get to go through this video.
The fact that the articles and content provided within are referenced from Leupold Team without anyone individual taking credit over another is what is most impressive to me. Keep creating team!
That landscape is what makes and breaks a good hunting partner and it’s the determination, perseverance, and overall bond that we all search for in any backcountry hunt. Congrats on the success
Really enjoyed the film! I can’t wait for my mule deer hunt in New Mexico. I have three friends that I have hunted with for thirty five years (Mud Brothers), This year I’m the only one with a tag, but we all go for the experience. That’s what I call true friends. Thats why I enjoyed this film, seeing friends helping friends and enjoying the experience.
Weather, the greatest equalizer in history. The most seasoned humans adept in their own environment will forever be challenged by Mother Nature and her pleasures. I love hunting after a few challenging days where the weather is rough and your ability to glass is limited. Great adventure, love the film.
Awesome Hunt Jason! The Blues are incredible country! Tough stuff but having the support group you had must have been awesome and so much fun the share with them. Congrats!
Always laugh when I see a video of the Blues, living here I am always trying to figure out what unit it is. Then seeing a landmark I recognize and you guys not saying what it is. I extremely respect. Always takes me back to my grandpa and uncles saying, it was off of tell no one ridge. Love your videos and Thank You!
Hunting is the chase, the work, the passion and respect for nature. Amazing hunt and a great example of fair chase ethical hunting. I use Leupold because it is really the best optics, and that is what connects us to the animal.
That is definitely some really rough country. Hunt of a lifetime! Excellent video and description of what you are doing and how to make it all work. Great to have that many support people.. Still, tons of work and lots of exercise but sure worth it!
Having hunted only Colorado this was a great film that kinda made me feel a part of the crew though I ate popcorn and enjoyed a climate controlled room and recliner! Thanks men and camera operators!
Congrats! That is such beautiful countryside and is part of what makes a hunt so memorable. Some terrain, weather, and the entire experience is what you think of when you think of when chasing certain trophies, whether it's elk, snowshoe hares, etc. And I don't mean trophies as in a monster sized animal. A trophy to me are the ones you never forget because of the hunt and those around you

Agreed, the adventure is 90% of the hunt.
Doesn't even need to be with good friends to be a special experience
Stop being cringe, hunting is about testing your abilities against that of your games. Nothing more, nothing less.
The camaraderie and teamwork is what gets me. I dream of hunts like this and I’ve only been bow hunting whitetails in Pennsylvania. These sorts of videos get me psyched for that one possible day. Love it!

Any video with Dirk is a must watch. Great hunt with friends. Never had a snowy hunt, looks cold.

Dream hunt indeed! Thanks for watching.
There he is! What an adventure! The labour, environment and setbacks one has to go through on such journey truly have the ability to be transformative- congratulations on the harvest!
An awesome video showing how important hunting companions are to not only packing out but making a trip memorable.
Congratulations Jason!
I started elk hunting as a young boy in the Oregon side of that country.
You are a blessed man to have friends like that.
The hunting community is special. Quite a team you had. This video was about so much more then just an elk. Great Job!! 👊🏼 👍🏼🤙🏼
It's so much more rewarding when you put in all the hard work and effort like this hunt represents.
Really enjoy these videos with the focus on the pursuit and not just the shot. So much fun to watch the process and enjoy the scenery.
Love the video and the message of the friendship that happens with the support team helping you along the way. My best memories of elk hunting is not pulling the trigger, but helping friends packing out. Great video!!
*Goosebumps* This is bucket list stuff!
I grew up in Africa and learnt to hunt there but this is something else. Such appreciation for the landscape and the magnificent quarry!
Jason and Dirk are the absolute best!
What an experience! Great hunts like that are something to never be forgotten.
Thanks for bringing us there. Awesome experience in beautiful country!
Awesome, I really enjoyed the entire film, especially how the comradery and thought process that went into finding this bull.
This film does a awesome job of showing the viewer what it means to earn it. It’s put together really well and looks like a fun group to be out there in the elements with. 🇺🇸
Such a beautiful place. Definitely a bucket list hunt for me.
Amazing and captures the essence of the hunt and why we hunt! Well done!
Great hunt!!!! Love the country, and when you have to work that hard for them, it just makes it that much sweeter!
Fantastic film! Hunting has brought new perspectives and values to life. I hope to be able to share those with my
Children. Hard work, determination, patience, failure, success, friendship, teamwork.

Always enjoy watching Jason hunt big bull elk. Nasty spot to have to pack out from.
It's been almost ten years since i pretended to chase elk. Miss it something terrible. Thanks for recording and sharing!...
Love the scenes of the land and hope they enjoy their hunting journey. Thanks for sharing the story!
Weather, the greatest equalizer in history. The most seasoned humans adept in their own environment will forever be challenged by Mother Nature and her pleasures. I love hunting after a few challenging days where the weather is rough and your ability to glass is limited. Great adventure, love the film.
It's always good to see the two of the hunting together.
I’m from western Washington. Always wanted to check out the blue mountains. What a cool hunt. Awesome to watch Jason and Dirk together!
Hard work and determination paid off! This has me excited for my first Elk Hunt next week!
Awesome Hunt Jason! The Blues are incredible country! Tough stuff but having the support group you had must have been awesome and so much fun the share with them. Congrats!
I’ve hunted similar areas, and my hat is off to you for the dedication it takes to get them out of there

I miss being able to go hunting, and this video makes me miss it more. Its about the adventure but the memories live on.

Great footage and teamwork in an unforgivingly steep part of the mountainous PNW. Congratulations!
