Good Video! I'm a old hunter from a different era; a time when my family totally depended on me for food from the hunt. I never went forth to test myself nor to prove myself. I simply hunted for food. To this day, I make hunting for myself as easy as possible. I backpack only what I need to process my kill and lunch and water for the day. I carry my trusty 30-06, .45 caliber long colt revolver, and trusty hunting knife; and I head out solo to where the elk, mule deer and whitetail live. Using public hunting pressure to drive game animals to me, I get positioned to see what happens. Most other old timer hunters my age have aged out of hunting, so I've come up short on hunting partners. The younger hunters don't want to babysit an old hunter who is slow and unwilling to "go where no man has gone before." And yet, I've never failed to fill my tag. I'll never bow or muzzle loader hunt because its too much work for this old man. I'll leave that to the youngsters. One day, I'll fire my last shot as the good Lord calls me home. But until then, If you see an old bearded hunter hunting solo somewhere, give a wave and remember me.

It's all about the memories made and experiences William! Thank you for the kind message!

By far the best WH video to date.

No body tells the true essence of the hunting adventure like Nate, he's a true respectful gentleman, and class act...Like no other....

Thank you for the kind words, Rob!

Thanks for sharing this. Love all the Western Hunter videos, they helped inspire me to film hunts and youtube. Thanks to Chris and Nate for a job well done.

Hey Nate, thanks for putting this up on KZread, it is the only way I get to see your work. Thanks again.

Really enjoyed viewing parts 1&2,re-living memories of your past hunts made it all he more enjoyable. dirtclod Az.

That was absolutely epic. I'd be willing to bet most modern elk hunters have large sized expectations considering what most old fashioned elk hunters experienced. You hunted a bull, not likely for most old time elk hunters just searching for meat. And you succeeded where most would have been frustrated and defeated. You kept going where some, if not certainly most, would have turned back and said "there aren't enough elk" or "too many predators".

Fantastic hunt a videography!

I really hope you guys start publishing more stuff on KZread

hell yes Nate congrats awesome awesome video and a great bull

Well done. The .50 is pretty light for elk, but you made up for that with outstanding fieldcraft.

Really loved it. Thanks for a special hunt. Brings back memories.

Awesome hunt I have the same Lyman Great Plains Rifle in .50 cal. what load were you using? Were you using 2F black powder. Thank you!

Nate, at the intro there's a glimpse of a Glock in a Kydex shoulder holster. What brand holster is that? It looks like a good holster. I like your choice hunting with a primitive sidelock shooting black powder and a patched round ball. I took my first big game in AZ with a .54 cal TC Hawken I built from a kit. I used a self cast conical bullet with Pyrodex. It was accurate and devastating! Now, I'd like to try again with a patched round ball and black powder. This is an excellent film! Congratulations on that nice bull!
