That's why backcountry elk hunting is so addicting! Nice job fellas!

Great video! This is much more of reality and realistic than what most hunting shows put out on video! Guys been putting great content out!

I love seeing the raw honesty in this video and how you aren't afraid to tell us your mistakes. I seek these types of videos out because they are more real and I learn more from them. We have all been there! Thank you

Great movie of the day to day trials and tribulations of DIY archery elk hunting. You captured all the struggles we have all endured, September 2, 2022 is fast approaching . Try a decoy for a little better odds of fooling eyes and ears. Good luck . Aim small miss small

I respect the commitment Micah made to learning how to hunt Elk. Great stuff guys!

He shoulda used a muzzle loader, and filmed this on 35mm film. First amendment doesn't protect KZread 1080 digital video, and 2nd.amendment doesn't protect full semiauto bows.

He just said he covered about 35-40 miles in 5 days. And about 20,000 vertical feet in five days. Then he said he's hearing consistent buggling near small ponds in a meadow. He doesn't know how to hunt. He doesn't even understand that water makes grass grow, and water hydrates animals. He runs around like a chicken with his head cut off.

Nice ethical video! Glad you were picky about your shots. SO MANY social media "Bowhunters" take shots that just are ridiculous. Did you see how that bull jumped the string and lowered several inches to get his footing? Ok here's the deal, if you would have thrown out some seductive cow calls you would have had them in your lap.

What an epic chase scene!! Sound and video quality is primo

Great Video! Its tough in the backcountry and you made it look easy! Great job finding the elk, thats half the battle. Keep up the hard work and it'll pay off!

Awesome video guys! we were in the Zerkle that same year for 2 weeks with the bows and had a lot of good times and some good encounters but ultimately got pushed off the mountain by fire. we will be headed back into the back country of Colorado again in a few weeks. Hope you have a tag this year and best of luck to ya. Keep up the awesome vids!

Incredible vid, and totally agree with others, glad you kept it long. Feel like it really conveyed the amount of time this adventure took. You took on a bold expedition and are obviously better men for it. This was a success by every standard I can think of, good luck for the rest of your "normal" season and can't wait for the next elk adventure

👍👍👍 and one of these 🤙. Great video. You seem to keep in great spirits even with the missed opportunities.

had a great time watching!!!!!!!

Absolute stud. Bro your determination and attitude is inspiring. Never quit !!!

Great commitment. Never filmed a hunt. This year committed to the whole season or as long as it takes in backcountry.

Great photography! You guys sure stuck with it! Look to the right part of the screen at 53:52, there is a bow hunter across the meadow as you were sitting there. He steps out, sees you and ducks back so you won't see him.

Awesome video man. Your one tuff guy. Your lucky to find a place that had so many elk in it.

New sub here! Just found you guys and I love what I see. Getting me all fired up for elk season. Looks like you learned a lot and had a good time doing it! Thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming!

Awesome hunt !, That's what brings me back every year! Great job and great video 👍 thanks for sharing.

Some pretty good shots/camera angles/panning & Adobe after effects like music on that intro !!! Im watching the rest now, thanks

Micah is a great coach.

When you took your shot, it looked like you stepped off of your axis or pivot point that split second before you released.... When hunting whitetails from a tree stand that happens a lot when taking the more extreme downward shots... I overshoot grouse all the time ! Ha

I know how ya feel man, I made my share of mistakes in my short time elk hunting! Lol. I been going northern co, thinking of trying central this year. What region of state were you in? Like the country. Great video!!

Outstanding video of your hunt. It was really enjoyable. I have only hunted elk during rifle seasons in CO and killed one on opening day in 2012 on BLM land. Seriously thinking about heading back for a DIY archery hunt this fall. I am surprised at the high number of hunters for archery season.

I was in such disbelief of what had just happened and how incredible it was to be so close to a screaming bull like that I didn’t even feel disappointed at first! It is a heartbreaker though for sure! Maybe next time.

Looks like fun... 13 days is a long time to be out there.

Awesome video guys. Curious where you guys are from. I wouldn't mind hunting with you guys. Im older and have hunted elk but obviously not in as good of shape as you guys. I've hunted Colorado and NM. I might bring a little experience, love the attitude and persistence you guys have.

What area of CO were you in? I’m hitting 77, 78, 771 in 3 weeks for a 12-day. Never been Elk hunting, never been to Colorado. As a SE US whitetail guy myself, I’ll be in similar shoes!

Great video. Just so you know that bull would not have just ran in if you were in Idaho. Idaho bulls get more pressure than anywhere. Great video non the less.

I beg to differ lol colorado over the counter is about as pressured as it gets

I have to ask how far the elk was when you missed at the 42 minute mark of the video? The most important 6” in bowhunting is between the ears. Keep calm and focus and you’ll have a lot less misses in the future.

FYI I believe there are no electronics at all allowed on the bow itself here in CO.

Thank you for looking out for us! As it states in the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Big Game Hunting Laws under 5. F. On page 14. “Recording devices such as cameras or video recorders attached to bows may be used as long as they do not cast light toward the target or aid in range finding, sighting or shooting the bow.” No scopes or electronic bow sights are allowed, but lighted nocks on the arrows are. For others reading this, always read the current states hunting manual as laws, rules, and regulations change all the time and the way it’s stated in the 2020 big game hunting manual may change with time. Thank you!

@@BowOnlyOutdoors ... But interesting that you are not allowed to hunt with electronic sights. As the utmost important for every qualified Hunter should be a 100% sure and quick kill. As long as you hung for meat and not for the thrill of just shooting at animals to make them suffer and die as cruel as possible.

That it is the ups and downs of Elk hunting. I was wondering if you guys tried cow calling? This video is the reality of Elk hunting.👍

@BowOnlyOutdoors

3 жыл бұрын

Yes we did do some cow calling, we tried to limit our calling in general simply because of the hunting pressure in the area and we didn’t want to spook any elk that may have been called at and spooked in the past.

How did you keep your camera batteries charged? I’m assuming this was a general unit hunt? Inspiring video 👏

Yes this was an OTC general unit. I had 3 different portable charging packs including a small solar panel with a power bank, I also used my cameras sparingly and tried not to leave them on unnecessarily. Glad you enjoyed it!

I have my main solar charger linked in the description! The other two were cheaper older ones. I was very close to running out of battery many times, but since I had 9 camera batteries I only needed to charge my phone and GoPro on the charging packs.

It's almost like he tried to throw the bow at him must of been really nerves

What the heck is the story behind that cam he found? I bet there is a pretty frustrating story behind that.

@BowOnlyOutdoors

I was stalking a bull through the thick timber and walked right up on the cam and a roller guard!! No other pieces of a bow around, I’m guessing someone accidentally dry fired their bow or the axles on the cams were so rusted they broke off when the bow was shot! Pretty crazy!

Sound like hit twig

I’m only 18 minutes into the video right now, but why aren’t you calling? It’s obvious the elk are getting fired up. You’re in close to these bulls, throw in a challenge bugle and piss him off so he comes to you.

Sorry I ment Josh.

Not sure I would be carrying a big camera and mic on the right side of your chest when you have a camera man with you. That can’t help your shooting.

When whitetail hunters go elk hunting...

you sure you dont want rifle? maybe muzzelloader
