Public Land Bull Elk Hunt - 7x7 DOWN!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2018
- Elk hunting on public land. There's no greater reward when it comes to big game hunting than taking a mature animal, DIY style, on public land - especially a big bull elk.
Overcoming challenges in the form of other hunters, pressured game, and the weather seemed to be the common theme on this particular hunt.
Ty was acting as a first time cameraman and bonafide spotter as Erik's role shifted to a little self filming POV.
They scouted, strategized, and in the end, the hard work paid off.
They two put in the necessary work to be successful as sometimes "going hard in the paint sucks."
Watch the 6.5 PRC coupled with the Hornady 147 gr eld-x do work!

Such a fun hunt! Gotta love finding giants on heavily hunted public land!
I was thinking about buying a 6.5 prc until I watched this. This single video changed my mind. Like you said it's all about shot placement, well you put 4 in there before it went down. Most times I'm only lucky enough to get off one shot in the thick timber. I'll stick with something a little bigger, maybe 300 prc. Awesome bull though, glad you got it!
Not saying you're wrong...but you can't judge a cartridge by watching 2-3 questionable looking shots and a 4th good shot.
I was going to say, given how clear that fourth shot was in delivering the energy, the other three didn't even seem to hit to my eyes; you'd think even hitting a shallow spot (flesh wise) would show some sort of wave for the energy transfer.
I personally think he rushed the first three and took his time on the fourth when he realized it wasn't running and he missed the first three. I have other issues with that, but that is another issue to discuss.
ADDITION: That said, round choice is also about comfort to a degree; want a more assured ethical kill? Go for that 300; I myself am looking at making a 300 RUM setup soon here
22 LR is the most deadly firearm in the world...why?.....Shot placement.... for the last three years I have used nothing but .223 for very large bodied mule deer and I'm 100% confident in it........I know this is elk and I wouldnt dare use a .223 on elk, however, if you watch close the blood starts to seep through on the hind quarters and later part of the guts....
Its all about shot placement....
@@mthompson Well, he said in a previous comment that the 1st and 4th shots were nearly touching right behind the shoulder. So...the 1st shot didn't do what the 4th shot did, so what does that tell you? A .30cal would've done the deed on the 1st shot.
He was dead on the first shot and just didn’t know it yet.
Awesome film. What a freakin year for Erik! Awesome bull too!
Thanks, brother! & thnx for watching.
Like clockwork every year after I pull my Idaho tag I get on youtube and watch hunts. Great bull.
Thanks for watching, John. We hope you check out some other videos.
Thanks for watching!
Dude finally! Congrats Erik! That's a stud of a public land bull! Epic video!
Thanks! You watch the full film?
@@MuleyFreak I skipped through it and watched bits and pieces. Had to watch that killshot 😜🤙🏼, I'll rewatch it a little later with more time.
Kaleb Allred booo ;)
@@erikvanwoerkom1896 watched the whole thing now! 😂
Absolutely crushed it! Awesome hunt! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking us along very nice bull👍
Thanks for watching the hunt, brother!
I enjoyed that; the camera man did a great job. And well done on the old dinosaur bull. Thanks for documenting and sharing. Cheers jamie
He did a great job for sure! Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on the Awesome 7 Eric that was enjoyable to watch Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching, sir!
Awesome bull guys thanks for sharing
Awesome footage, congratulations definitely a stud and the bull too. 👍👍
We will work to better the footage in the future, thanks.
Such a SICK video guys!! That’s a freakin stud for a general OTC unit. Especially if it’s our home state of Utah. Congrats to Erik!!
Thanks, Tyler & thanks for watching.
Awesome hunt and great footage. Way to go guys !
Thanks!
I have a .300 rcm, which is the parent cartridge of the 6.5 prc. The .30 cal version hits with alot more energy, thanks for the videos!!!
Awesome Bull. Love your style of hunting. And great job camera dude!
Thanks for watching, Donnie!
Great video guys!!!! Awesome bull
CHALLIS WILLSON thnx Challi
Love it bro congrats!
Thanks!
Great bull!
GREAT BULL!!! Love the video.
Thanks for watching!
That video picture 😂😂 haha
Don't listen to all these horrible comments by people who don't know how to shoot an elk. Just as you commented shoot until they fall. 6.5 is a good round for elk. You shot it right in the boiler room 3 or 4 times. I shot a 6X6 bull 3 times with a 7 mag then did the same thing yours did. Good shooting no matter what others say!!!!
Amen, brother! Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks for watching. Elk are super tough. We've always been taught to shoot until they drop.
Lol two clearly hit the right hind quarter...what did you watch?
Great Hunt and Great Video Buddy
Thanks, buddy!
I just tried the line.."I'm not mad at big Mamma." Didn't go well for me :/
Ha ha. That never goes well for Erik either lol
LOL
That stache has good third and man did you see its main beam 🤪
Awesome Elk ... congrats. Great job stalking and taking him.
It looked like you hit him perfectly every time. But, man, it took a bunch of shots to take him down. They're big, tough, thick-skinned animals. Pretty much convinced me to stick with my 338 wm or 300 wm for elk hunts (had been considering switching to a PRC)
_338 WM & 300 WM still don't take an elk off their feet if you shoot them in the vitals. It's all about shot-placement. That elk was going anywhere from the first shot._
That’s a great bull. Good thing he stood still. But I’m sure he got hit so hard he couldn’t move. Awesome
He was feeling it.
What projectile you pushing out of the PRC. I have one and love it. Killed 3 animals with the eld-m 147 but I’m gonna play with the nosler ABLR this spring
Matt Garn Hornady 147 ELD-M Match AMMO
Is the 143 eldx not better choice ? Did all 4 bullets exit the bull ? Hornady or somebody need make a 150 or 160 that can cut wind & punch thru harder on big game like this. Nice bull. I'd like to see the exit side pictures of bull. Thanks Red.
@@austintyler7991 the ELD-X is marketed more for hunting; however, the ELDM has a higher BC and performs very well also. Lots of guys are using the Ms for hunting. This is the 4th animal I'm taken with them this year. Muley buck -1242 yards. Whitetail buck - 791 yards. Whitetail doe - 400+ yards. Bull elk - 300 yards. The first bullet was right behind the shoulder. The 2nd and the 3rd where a smidgen back one of them being back of the ribs. (My nerves got to me) and the last bullet (the 4th) was in the money. Thanks for watching!
@@ErikVanWoerkom 1242 yd wow. On video ? Love to see that one. Thanks, God Bless ya bro. Be safe out there.
ELDX would have been better for ELK. I agree the ELDM is good to even great on smaller stuff like Deer but that big Elk needs the ELDX.
Wow, nice fricking bull guys!
He's a great bull. Thanks for watching, brother!
I shot an elk with a .243 once. It can be done. Doesn’t mean it should be. I won’t do it again. Nice bull.
Thanks for watching, Z.
Looks like Travis will be spinning you up a .300 PRC for future wapiti adventures...
One could only hope! :)
Easy to arm chair quarterback, but I do believe it's a legitimate statement that the 6.5 is in the bottom end of an elk cartridge. And that it relies on high speed. Once it loses its speed, it become well under gunned for big bulls. I don't just pull this out of my butt, but rather following Nathan Foster, of New Zealand, standards.
Bullet weight and cal to game body weight with bullet design (reactive)
I believe a lot of game is lost due failing to respect these 3 foundations- Bullet weight to game weight, bullet design to game body type- including unforseen gusts of wind, causing meat/vital shots and 3rd caliber. You must know your minimum impact velocity.
Long shots really should be video'd along with an experienced spotter.
Despite saying all this, great video and congratulations on a great bull. You guys, for what it's worth, are liget. Great video!
Thanks for all the recent comments James! We try to learn multiple calibers and test a wide range. We use Hornady ammo and have a couple podcasts with Seth Swerczek about impact velocity, what it takes to kill an animal, shot placement and a couple different topics. You might enjoy listening to those as well since you seem to know quite a lot and have a interest in different calibers. Glad you’re enjoying the videos! You should join our Facebook group where we can connect better!
awesome vid! just got my first PRC and doing some load dev....curious what round you were using for this? I am currently developing 143g ELD-X at around 3060 fps
found the answer below :). thanks!
We used factory ammo on this hunt, brother!
@@MuleyFreak what kind of bullet did you use ?
What’s the process for taking the suppressor out of state?
Timber Tramp if it’s legal where you are going you just do it. Nothing really
Awesome public land bull...any where! Congrats. All they "Duty Experts"...just noise. Growing up on the Western Slope of Colorado in the 70s I seen a lot deer and elk killed by a lot of different calibers, ranges, etc....it is all shot placement. You were putting them in there. They all die different. The difference is your elk really did not move until it took the dirt nap and slid..
#1 always beats #2 and #1 is shot placement. Every-time!!! Thanks for sharing our same thoughts. Happy hunting!
Nice bull congrats good job
Thanks, buddy! We appreciate it!
Thanks for watching!
Nice Camo.
Nice Bull and it just answered my question on whether the 6.5 PRC is up to the task for elk. Shot placement is always the determining factor but that guy took a lot of lead before hitting the ground.
The 6.5 PRC is plenty of gun for elk. Two things to conclude from this video. Shot placement is everything and a bull elk is tough!
@@MuleyFreak Agreed on shot placement and elk being tough critters. Since you've killed more elk than I can ever dream of, therefore I'll respect your opinion on this. I'm more Monday morning quarterbacking, having killed a few with my 300 WSM (which have all dropped with one well placed shot) and having seen a bunch of videos with 6.5 PRC hits. Clearly with no practical experience I can't make the apples to apples comparison that you can but as an observation it seems to take a few more rounds in the vitals with the 6.5 PRC unless of course you get some CNS type hit. Thanks for taking time to reply and go get em in 2021!
No problem, buddy. Elk can take a beating. It's all about shot placement when it comes to these critters!
That 6.5 didn't seem to be quite enough to put him down quickly. What projectile were you using? What kind of internal organ damage was there?
Nothing really puts down an elk quickly. A high lung near the spine shot does, or a neck shot, but elk tend to soak it up! Erik used a 143 gr ELD-X on this hunt.
@@MuleyFreak that's an ignorant statement. Use what you want but don't tell the world that nothing puts and elk down fast. Your'e not the only guy who hunts them.
Great video. The fact you guys were sick and doing this, I was feeling for you. What’s the rifle brand / make? Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching!
Congrats on the stud bull!
Thanks, James!
From what I have read, bow hunters puncture both lungs and the elk still goes 30 plus yards. So dropping that elk where he did was a very successful elk hunt/shoot. Very ethical if you ask me.. 300yard is nothing to snivel about. All these arm chair hunters.. shit.. thanks for the hunt.
Thank you for watching. More content will be coming soon!
That was awsome
Thanks for watching, Jerome!
I just got a PRC, what bullet are you using?
sweet bull by the way!!!! Congrats guys
147 ELD-M Match AMMO from Hornady.
Thanks for watching, Rod!
sweet! I have some fo the same ammo purchased, thanks a bunch and great hunt!
@@MuleyFreak Match ammo for game hunting? Not the best option, those projects tend to frag.
I know elk is larger but i shot a WT buck this year with my 6.5, split the heart in half dropped 20 yards from point of impact. 6.5 is plenty to kill big game. Shot placement key. People will bitch about 6.5 as a hunting round, I have see plenty of elk and deer drop with the round. However I'll take my bow over anything. Good shooting.
Couldn't agree more in the fact that the 6.5 PRC is plenty for big game. Thanks for watching, WJK.
How far was the shot?
300 yards.
Beautiful bull what a stud.
Thanks for watching!
STUD, I'd say you got one better than both the beard and stache
LOL. Thanks for watching, Kyson!
This seems like a prequel to brokeback
Nice giant.
Thanks, man!
NIce bull and hunt.
Thanks, Gary!
Thanks for watching, Gary!
You left the cardboard in your hat bro! Hahahaha
Jacob Harris hahaha. You caught me!!! I found it on day 2!
Bahahah. True story!
I saw that immediately cause he wouldn’t stop playing with his damn hat! Good one... Com’on man!!
@@crabwalk1891 think i'd make Shaqtin's the fool on TNT, bud?
Would love to see a more clear shot of the impacts. None but the last one looked good.
1st and last bullet where literally touching behind the shoulder when we caped this bull out.
Hard to believe when the middle 3 shots severed the back quarter and guts in extremely inconsistent behavior.
The good ol 6.5 Needmore lol. Great video
Mothman 792 it’s s PRC actually
It's a PRC not a creedmoor.
@@MuleyFreak fantastic!
Enjoy the hamburger !
Hahahahahhahaha 🤣😂🤣 too funny!
Yeah! Elk burger is delicious.
That bull looks a bit larger than a 320 ...I was thinking more in the 360 range ..
He's right around the 340" mark.
Just over 340" actually. Stud for a public land general bull. Be sure to subscribe to the channel.
It's crazy to me that a badass channel like Muley Freak has 164k subs but some random tik tok couple doing the dumbest poke my eyes out videos have a million🤦🤦🤦🙄🙄🙄. Just ain't right man!!
LOL. Muley Freak headed to the moon! Hope you join our journey!
@@MuleyFreak oh brothers I've been on this journey!!!! Friggin love the content!! And I live in Florida lol. Y'all got elk, muleys, bears and pronghorn. I've got gators, hogs, whitetails and turkeys 😂😂🤷🤷💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲👊👊
Never hunted elk (can't seem to get drawn in Arizona), but man, I was hoping for more from the 6.5 PRC. Great shooting, I'm sure the first shot would've put him down eventually.
Elk are super tough animals and rarely just drop unless hit in the spine. The PRC has him dead on the first shot. Thanks for watching.
@@MuleyFreak that's fair. Just crazy how that thing didn't even seem to acknowledge the first couple. Either way, the group at the end shows it. They were all good shots. And I would never call a ~250 yard shot unethical. I don't see anything wrong in this video. Definitely convinced me to not use my 6.5 CM on an elk. I'll stick to my .280 ai.
I've seen elk no acknowledge 300 win, 300 Normas, 7 MMs, and the list goes on! From personal experience these critters can take a beating! At the end of the day it's all about shot placement.
What state is this in?
California.
Nice one brother! Way to maintain fire discipline by continuing to put rounds on target. Impressive. I just got my first 6.5. Im far from your skill at this point but it’s cool to see dudes dispelling the myth about the caliber you used. Shot placement shot placement shot placement.
Brandon Guitierez i just got my first 6.5cm on Black Friday and I love it! Specially in a tikka t3x
Joe Palmer nice dude. I decided to try the Bergara B-14 Ridge. We shall see how it goes. Best of luck to you next fall bro.
Shoot until they aren't standing anymore! These animals are TOUGH.
Muley Freak dam Skippy and he was taking those rounds like a champ dude.
IDK if pumping 4 rounds right into his bread basket dispels any myths about the 6.5s lol. Had he piled up after 1 shot, now that would be a myth-buster.
Man these comments are too good. If he had said he was shooting a 300 wm, 7 mag, 28 nos, etc. Everyone would be saying “wow it’s crazy how tough elk are!” Also, if hornady accidentally loaded ELDM’s in precision hunter ammo, most people would never know from a terminal perspective. The 6.5mm cartridges have been killing animals much larger than elk for generations. Using this cartridge at 300 yards is a more than capable elk cartridge. Are there “better” ones? I guess. Shot placement and bullet selection well outweigh caliber. I’d rather hit an elk in the vitals with a 100 grain partition out of a .243 than gut rip with a 338 wm.
Ha ha. Truer words couldn't be said. Thanks for posting this comment, buddy!
Check out those guys coming down the hill behind you
What state?
Indiana ;)
Thank you for saying 'kill' and not 'harvest' or some other term guys use to try to stay out of tough conversations. I am not growing beans! I don't harvest my elk. I kill them and then I eat them.
Dave Gifford personally, I’ve been feeling that same way as of late! First you hunt it, next you kill it, and lastly you cut it up, and share it with family and friends.
but you do not use 4 rounds to drop it ..
@@davidorpwoodnz ?
@@davidorpwoodnz let's see your killshots
What jacket is that hes wearing?
What scene are you referring to? Tyler had on Kryptek Altitude and Erik was running Kryptek inferno and Highlander.
@@MuleyFreak At 19:00 and 29:28. Trying to figure out the weights(warmth)of Kryptek jackets and shirts. Want something heavier than the Valhalla for this December archery. I'm thinking the Alaios might fit my needs. Have Ragnar pants but they don't make them anymore it seems. Looks like probably the Dalibor or Cadog.
Phil Ward do you have the Dalibor III???
@@erikvanwoerkom1896 No, only ragnar, valhalla and hoplite top lw, and koldo set. Just got the poseiden 2 pants.
My uncle plugged a bull 4 times w a 300 ultra mag and the bull stood there and ate all 4 rounds . tough animals elk are
Seth Monahan super tough animals!
Thank You for pointing that out! 4 hits with a 30 caliber magnum folks. Same result.
That’s what people don’t understand about elk unfortunately. Ive seen elk get hit twice with a 300 wm and act like nothing happened, and elk get hit with a 270 and hit the dirt. Same vice versa. Elk aren’t deer and most people who haven’t hunted them a lot don’t understand that.
cranker bull!
Thanks, buddy. Did you go on a Muley Freak UA-cam binge watch last night?
Nice public land bull. About that 6.5 not sold three in the boiler room so to speak one floater. 30 caliber Iam telling you is the only way to go 300 win mag is awesome 150 grain bullet might work but you’ll loose one if you haven’t already. Keep hunting
The 6.5mm are more than capable elk cartridges. People have been using 6.5’s to kill large animals for years and years. They have gotten a bad wrap here because of the target creedmoor crowd. I must say however, the 30’s do lay the smoke down.
Shot placement is everything! Elk are tough. Noticed how he was hit he knew he was in trouble. He didn't ran, but froze instead. Elk tend to do that when they are lethally hit with a bullet.
Awesome film! Love the kill shot footage. #HardInThePaint
Like he's ever stepped in the paint ha
Watch yourself, Ty!
Why doesn’t u guys use a 7mm mag u wouldn’t have to shot it 4 times
LOL. That's not necessarily the case, but thanks for watching!
SMH
My Griff points reflections like a champ. Cant eat reflections.
Reflections?
@@MuleyFreak like the light off a cell phone on the wall when sitting in the sun. To her defence, she did have a bunch of nice flushes yesterday.
Man I know how you feel missing that Lion. I've missed my share over years by doing something dumb, like miss judging range.
Wrong video?
Wrong video, homie! Ha ha.
a little light for elk in my opinion not much better than a 243 however you got him killed
WITH 4 SHOOTS ALL EXPLODED GOING THROW THE SKIN .you could see it puffed up ..
David Orpwood
Too small of caliber
Too light of bullet
@@allanwagner4570 I farm red deer & elk in New Zealand ,I have shoot deer in the yards with a .22 & lots of them with one shoot.but I am not going hunting with a .22 .I have 22m ,223 ,243 ,.30.30, bolt .3006 semi .3006 & a 300RUM . GUESS WHAT ONE I would take long range ELK shooting ??
I understand that
However this guy was shooting at almost 400 yards
Again too small caliber
Too light of bullet
You must agree at 400 yards that rifle caliber is much too light
A 30 caliber would be a much better choice
For a clean kill
@@allanwagner4570 play it again only 280 to 320 yards then he gets closer .I would have got him with one shoot 30.06 / when he was sitting down I could have head shot with the .243 //Most people say it was 400 yards when it was only 300 if you are lucky .
My dad shot a whitetail with a 6.5 the shot was a tad high at 245 yards and I couldn't find the blood trail after 50 yards.once I found the deer I couldn't retrack the route.once he was dragged in the open you couldn't see the entry wound,I'm not impressed.Give me a 30cal any day,this is a varmint cal.
ua-cam.com/video/IOo6gprtKeA/v-deo.html
Lmao varmint cal that’s been killing moose sized animals the same amount of dead as 30’s for generations. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good thirty cal, but shot placement and bullet selection outweigh “caliber” all day every day.
I’m not saying that I’m an expert marksman at all but I would hope that if I’m packing around a rifle that is that expensive and at that range I’d be a little better with my shot placement.
The 1st and 4th shoot were nearly touching - right behind the shoulder. Doesn’t get much better than that bud. Unfortunately, the first shot was missed on film. Nerves got my second shot and the 3rs shot was back of lungs. Super steep side hill. No rear support with heavy rifle made the shot scenario tricky not to mention there’s was not opportunity to get prone For shooting. I’d say I’d did a helluva job getting that bull kill buts that biased of course.
“I’m not an expert at all” ... glad we’re in agreement! It’s pretty clear what you don’t know could fill a barn!
@@TimberTramp and what u do know, couldn't fill a barn.
TilDeath1776 US boy I hope I never get there....I do know about stupid comments and that was one....
Shot him too high, unless the shot was compromised. Sounds like it wasn't. I used to shoot higher and further back than I should . I mostly cured myself of that. The heart is really low in the body
Double lung. Aiming for the heart specifically is an easier miss IMHO.
I see all kinds of people that think they need cannons for even deer and elephant guns for elk.
Generally when you see overcompensation in any area of life it is due to a lacking in another area.
Lol... 4 shots and it just stood there. I've never had a big bull soak up more than my first shot with the 300wm. I'd prefer not to turn my bull into hamburger before I bring it up...
Why are people so excited about this 6.5?? U see how that bull reacted! And got hit a ton!!! Wtf!!id never shoot such a pea shooter after that! Good job on the bull! But what happened to ethics! .30 cal man! Better shot placement! Bigger=more energy....BC's too
Hello Kenny, thanks for your comment. I personally own several 30 cals, a few 7 mm, and a 28 nosler now and all I can say is "shot placement". I've seen big bulls soaked up a lot of 300 win mag.
I agree, use an arrow and aim for the mouth next time. With that wind and the flight trajectory from a west sided. Yep works everytime
Right. Shot placement should take 1
Read up on Karamojo Bell, then tell us 6.5 is too small for Bull Elk. www.chuckhawks.com/bell_elephants.htm
At 38:00 he says "a lot of people don't think you can shoot a 6.5 at an elk" and then goes on to describe how it took 4 shots to bring it down (admittedly really only 3 because one wasn't a great shot).
Yeah, buddy. That's EXACTLY why people say you shouldn't shoot a 6.5 at an elk. Because it might take 3 solid hits to bring it down!
We've seen big bulls soak up a lot of 300 win rounds, buddy. They are super tough animals regardless.
@@MuleyFreak I guide and have a ton of experience you were close I've used plenty of calibers got monsters, over 400" bulls past 600 yards with no problems out of a 300 win mag without taking shot after shot the 300 win mag also has the 1000 yard championship wins to back it as well as much flatter shooting without the drift, 6.5 drops 203 inches and drifts 59 inches at a 1000 yard with a 142 grain bullet at only 600 yards the 6.5 barely has enough energy with only 1239 ft lbs at 600 yards where the 300 win mag has only 174 inches drop 53 inches drift and 1400 ft lbs at 1000 yards as compared to the low energy of the 6.5 at 600 yards long story short the 6.5 drops 2 feet and 5 inches more than the 300 win mag at 1000 yards so hope you have a good shot placement is key no matter the caliber no need for a big bore if you are a good shot but energy is useful at ranges especially when it is true elk are extremely tough and may require up to 1500 ft lbs for certain shots to make a clean ethical one shot kill
Lol.. i think them other hunters shot it first...
My uncle shot his bull 4 times w a 300 ultra mag and that sucker took it like a champ same as this one
@@Andres47955 dude, are you trying to set a record with Guinness for longest run-on sentence? It's literally TL;DR, as I couldn't find a stopping point anywhere.
Not often you get to reload your rifle while hunting 🤔
You must be a slow reloader haha. Just kidding!
No, you would be right. Where I hunt (high Rockies in Colorado), it's not often I get shots beyond 100yds. I should probably practice though 🤣
Here's evidence that the 6.5mm CM can be an ethical round in the right hands: ua-cam.com/video/IOo6gprtKeA/v-deo.html . Another thought, according to reputable elk outfitters in UT, AZ, and NM is there are generally less trophy bulls out there because they are culled from the heard with today's LR/glassing capabilities/trends. However, I wouldn't consider 200yds LR. No matter for me, I'm not a trophy hunter. Thoughts?
You killed me with - say something Japanese! that guy did not think its funny! But I did! LOL
LOL. These guys are great friends of ours. Some of the most selfish dudes around. We would have been stuck packing that bull out for days without them. Thanks for watching, KN!
@@MuleyFreak thanks for you guys making entertaining videos! I would really like to go hunting with you guys in the future. I'm from South-Africa but immagrating to CA soon.
Hunting has always been part of me, it runs in my veins! I also do quite a bit of LR shooting.
Keep-up the great work! Enjoy
Will do, man! Thanks for subscribing to the channel.
JESUS CHRIST you guys might have just made one of.the coolest Rifle.elk hunts to hit the internet
KUDOS. Watching it from Australia and freaking LOVED IT!
LOL. Glad you enjoyed our elk hunt. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
You guys are picky bull is a bull what do you eat the horns?
Isaiah Goudy when you’re that deep in the backcountry you tend to be a little picky.
Ok
Just love the chase man! It's definitely not all about score for us even though it may have come across that way in this video. Passing up bulls means more time in the mountains and who's gonna complain about that?!
Anything lower than a 270 and you better have a pocket full of ammo. I keep hearing that a bull can take several hits from a 300 as if that’s a reason to use a smaller gun? Whatever. Luckily you made great shots and he waited for some more.
Bull elk are as tough as they come and shot placement is key. Thanks for watching!
I would suggest trying Berger's hunting bullets, they are very effective and I would dare say more effective than any Hornady projectile.
I'd have to disagree with you on that one, brother. We have a lot of success with Horandy loads, bullets, and factory ammo.

Quite the nasal snot problem. You should.get it checked out

Took it like a champ is about right good shootin but poor bullet choice
The MATCH bullet has proved to be a great hunting bullet as well. It isn't marketed as such; however, it does great work as well.
Dude, elk are such tough animals!
U guys do know a match bullet is a target bullet I shoot the eldx out of my 6.5 and have never shot an elk more than once not putting you guys down or anything just a heads up ya know
@@gabevaltierra5974 Lol. Yes I know it's a target bullet; however, it's engineered with the exact same technology.
@@ErikVanWoerkom People have no idea lol. Hornady told them the M is a match bullet and the X is a hunting bullet so that’s all there is to it. For the most part they are correct, a match bullet does not perform well hunting. However, in this particular case, the M’s do very well. I would actually rather shoot M’s than X’s at this point. If you showed them the interior of an M and told them it was an X most of these commenters would have no clue.

Nice, now watch the film. Lol.
It’s cool to see the antler and all but honestly, it makes for show and all but I would not know what to do with them ...keep em in a closet or rafters for 5 years,,, then throw them out.. not like I would put those on a wall in my house....
What if we told you my family of 5 ate him and then also hung him in the garage as a token appreciation and reverence. We love what we do. :) God speed!
Playing hush music during your video will not make you hush Hunters
Ahhh gut shots in the wind. I would rather get closer than fling bullets with all that wind
Gut shot? 3-4 bullets touching right behind the shoulder! 300 yards away from the animal.
No way I would stop and eat right there!
Why not take more meat, so much wasted
Why is it you have to but some freaking shitty ass music to a video? It's bad enough listening to the wind!!
I take it you didn't like the music?
@@MuleyFreak hmmmm you think!
6.5 prc...dont know man..4 shots....looks like he didnt even flinch.
They are super tough animals, sir. Don't know what else to say. I'm see a bull soak up 9 180 gr .30 cal before tipping over.
A mature bull can very well take 4 shots with a 7MM. These animals have an unprecedented will to live.
the bull did not feel the first three hits I think I will stick with my .300 Weatherby mark 5 one hit and he will know it my 6.5 is for coyotes no energy and energy= shock.
Team man, 2000 ft lbs isn’t nearly enough for elk.
Nice bull. Ur music sucks and too loud.
