I'm a newer hunter. Meaning, I didn't start until adulthood. And something I don't understand is the criticism of videos like these by OG hunters that claim it makes it too easy for people, point creep, and how they had to learn the "hard way". But at the same time worry about how hunter numbers are falling off. THESE VIDEOS and others like them(Randy Newberg, Corey and Donny@ elk101) are what absolutely gives new guys- and gals, the confidence to make a dream a reality. Thank you guys for these videos. They are absolutely invaluable to people like me.
At 64yrs old and 40 plus years of archery elk hunting, I for some reason follow you knuckle heads on TH-cam like a kid watching cartoons on Saturday mornings... Thanks for keeping me young. Be safe and God bless.
Ahh!!! You all just put one of my spots up for the world to see😂 No worries though, I love you guys and everything you all are doing. Totally worth it. Moving to a new spot this year anyways. For those interested, I’ve scene plenty of sign and a few cows while scouting but haven’t had an encounter with a bow in my hand. Good luck to everyone and keep it up BRO’S!!!
Thanks for all you guys do. I'm making my maiden voyage this year. Very stoked and learning as much as I can. Definitely trying to overcome the mental aspect of this. Just putting it in the Lords hands and doing my part. Good luck this year guys.
I really appreciate a video like this. So many of the hunting videos I watch talk about finding your areas. Doing your research. Doing your scouting. Blah blah. But they never go into how or where to even start doing any of that. It’s just assumed all hunters know this stuff already. Well if that’s the case then don’t you think those hunters already know you have to do your scouting and researching too? So they are just using filler words to add fluff to their videos. Everyone has to start somewhere and learn. This was information I could actually use. Thanks!
Thank you guys for doing what you do. Your videos and DIY approach have reignited the fire in this 52 year old flatlander from WI. Hope to see you on a mountain someday!!!
Would love to see you guys do some open country spot and stalk on one of your hunts this year as I'm reading about predators pushing elk out of the mountains anyway love what you do keep it coming 👍
Ok you all have convinced us we can do it! Going with my Sons & brothers to Montana for a Cow hunt! I have thoroughly enjoyed your Land of the Free series. Not a huge Archery hunter - rifle is my game but, I do have a bow & will start getting back in the swing of it. My oldest son Jason set us all down at Christmas & said WE ARE GOING ELK HUNTING THIS YEAR! We are doing it if we get drawn. If not we are going OTC to Colorado. Have extended family n Montana to point in right direction.
Thanks guys! Looking to put together my first OTC elk hunt next fall. I'm an older, out of shape fat guy, hence wanting to give myself a year to get into better shape. I'm actually looking at an Oregon hunt, due to having a brother living just west of the cascades. Any info is greatly appreciated, and I'll be watching all of your (and the hush guys) videos numerous times between now and then. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this series. Even though I watched Randy Newberg's E-Scouting series it is always good to get a perspective from other successful veteran public land hunters. A great breakdown indeed of your thought process on a random unit. My youngest brother is doing an OTC mule deer hunt with a rifle in Idaho, I would love to go, but even if I can't I really enjoying doing the research and helping him with the e-scouting and other things as much as I can. Good luck this year guys. I look forward to the next part of this series.
OnX is my go to map app. I use it almost daily. I’m never in phone reception and download the map areas of interest. The app was acting a little funny this last weekend, waypoints placement was a little off. Keep the series coming, looking forward to this season with BRO.
Really enjoying the content, tons of good stuff. When are you going to lay out the plans for this season. Can't wait to see where you guys are headed this year.
Awesome show, your all true hunters by nature, oh my lord could you guys imagine what late Fread Bear would think of your guys brand new Bowen arrows, especially this broadhead beauty . Oh my lord Fread Bear was such successful wild life hunter by far. FREAD BEAR 1960 hunts are awesome to watch but honestly your guys video shows are top of the line. Have a good hunt all yall
Question for you guys, when you pick a unit and start to get your 10 spots. How big of an area within the unit do you focus on? Do you focus on 10 spots relatively close so you can get to them quickly if one doesn't work out? Or do you try and spread them out across the unit?
Sometimes both, obviously travel is going to take up time so you might try to stay within a couple hundred miles. That being said, I wouldn't just rely on it. Pick spots because you think they'll have elk and be confident about the spot you choose.
What do you do in a situation where you have seen elk move through areas. do you keep hunting that country? Do you hit that one day and if they aren’t there then move on? I Just feel tied down on some spots since I have seen elk there but just not consistently. What would you guys do? Great video tho I appreciate the details keep it up👊🏼
This video was helpful. But it could be a lot better. It's obviously geared towards helping people that are going to hunt elk in CO. But most people are not from the Rockies. So we don't know what these terms are: drainages (is there actually water in the drainage?), wallow, basin, bowl, draw, mesa. Educational videos should cover some vocabulary as well. Thanks
You boys might consider getting the word out to the people of Colorado that, what ever they do, oppose any wolves, what so ever, being brought into their state. The Canadian grey wolf is not native to this ecosystem, regardless of what the liars from the federal Fish and Wildlife Agence says. Our native wolf is the western American Timber Wolf. These troublemaking grey wolves have been nothing but trouble since the very 1st day they were dropped off in Idaho in 1995. You people of Colorado have great elk herds in your state. If you get wolves in three they will devastate your elk and deer, they will be damaging to your livestock and they will be damaging to the industry of your state.
I am heading for Alamo Creek! Hey Kody, wouldn't it be funny if you got a real email this fall from a hunter that took a bull there? Be sure to collect your finders fee...
You know what would be awesome? If you guys would start giving “pro tips” on hunting Oregon! Colorado’s got enough traffic. Good content though, you guys are alright.

My favorite bugler Corey Jacobson one of the best love watching and learning from Corey Jacobson you rock buddy
Love watching your videos. Keep living the dream and being outdoors.
Incredibly helpful video! This is the type of video I’ll watch numerous times to digest all this great info! Seriously thank you!
Doing our first elk hunt (DIY) here this year in Utah. These videos are helping so much. Thanks!
Thank you guys for doing what you do. Your videos and DIY approach have reignited the fire in this 52 year old flatlander from WI. Hope to see you on a mountain someday!!!
Great info guys. I am wishing you all the best of luck in this upcoming season. Shoot straight and look forward to the series!!!
Thank you so much! Goo luck to you as well!

Thanks for going over how to use ONX! It’s helping me already prepare for our December cow hunt here in AZ!
Thanks guys!

So what paper maps, are you using in the video?
Really enjoying the content, tons of good stuff. When are you going to lay out the plans for this season. Can't wait to see where you guys are headed this year.
You guys are the best! I'm so happy to be able to watch you guys day by day and to be inspired!
I love the content, keep it coming.
Awesome stuff here!! This video answered so many questions for me. Thank you for making this series!
Solid gold! Thanks guys!
I have a question, do you have any trouble with people messing with your gear at a trailhead or where ever while you are hunting?
We have been very fortunate and not had any trouble.
"I sacrificed my knee for you" shows a blood trail - 🤣

This is a clutch video! Knocked it out! I'll be getting my OnX subscription!

I Just feel tied down on some spots since I have seen elk there but just not consistently. What would you guys do? Great video tho I appreciate the details keep it up👊🏼
Of all the units to choose, one of the units within my home town just so happens to be chosen haha
Great video. How important is it to get on x hunt premium? Does it make a huge difference?
It makes it so you can access more states.
Are you guys going to test more broad heads soon? would love more testing videos
Yes. We will be shooting test videos next week and posting ASAP!
Do you guys try to hunt wilderness areas?
This video was helpful. But it could be a lot better. It's obviously geared towards helping people that are going to hunt elk in CO. But most people are not from the Rockies. So we don't know what these terms are: drainages (is there actually water in the drainage?), wallow, basin, bowl, draw, mesa. Educational videos should cover some vocabulary as well. Thanks
Great video. I sent a link to a guy who is wanting to start
Thank you cody that's some great information. Captjohn.
Cody, went into gohunt and you get free clicks but no hunt info unless you sign up for Insider. Am I doing something wrong?
Visit bit.ly/BROgoHUNT and at the bottom of the page sign up as an Insider in a free 30 day trial. Thanks Ryan
It would be unfair to the elk to have Corey Jacobson and Dirk Durham hunting together.
Where can I find that hat

I'm know this is old but shit
You got norh of them
