Bull Elk Backflip from a Heart Shot on Opening Day- Backcountry hunting with my buddies-no fluff!

Спорт

This is a rad opening day Elk Hunt- unfiltered and as real life as it gets. We dove into a deep Alberta river basin to chase bull elk on opening day. After 4 miles we ran into a bull ready to brawl and I deliver an arrow right to the ticker to end with a bull Backflip. This video is from 3 buddies in the backcountry with no frills, tons of thrills and as raw as it gets. You are there the whole time.

    The heart shot back flip is the strangest phenomena. It seems to only happen to me when I make a quartering away heart shot. Deer, antelope many species seem to do the strange heart shot back flip. Maybe you should some heart expert on your show to help explain why this happens. When I've mentioned to others, they aways ask my why it happens, and I can't answer them.

    Great shot brother congratulations. Quick question. I’m not sure if you have already but can you go over the tools and equipment you use to level your bow string. I keep reading different reviews on how string levels not being truly plum. MFJJ has a nice one on his website it’s 60$ though. Can you give us some insight on the brands you use and the dos and don’t when it comes to leveling your bow. And maybe some mobile bow vises other the OMP obv they have a great product. But the guys in a budget could use some advice!! Nock-On 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

    Crazy thing is that he center punched a rib inbound with a mechanical and seemed like a complete pass through. But he said in a previous video that he doesn’t talk about his broadheads because he is always testing new ones. Sure would like to know what that broadhead is.
