An Epic Hunt for Big Elk - NUMBERS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2024
- When you spend most of your time hunting and are dedicated mainly to hunting mule deer, your points for other species will quickly rise. That’s exactly what happened to Brady Miller, who has spent much of his life chasing mule deer across the West, filling his addiction. In the meantime, he builds points for elk, and only applies for the best hunts in the West as he is okay waiting to draw an elk tag. With the high number of elk points he carries across the West, his patience finally paid off and put him at great draw odds to draw a great muzzleloader elk tag. Join Brady as he looks through countless numbers of elk in search of the one.

I think the thing I like most about watching Brady hunt is his calm demeanor. His respect for the land, the animal, and the hunt is obvious. No whooping and hollering after the shot, just quiet respect. You’re a true sportsman Brady!
Thank you! That means a lot to me. I love the animals I hunt and the places they call home.
This was a great video. The hunt is captured beautifully on some amazing high quality film. The amount of bulls and the one Brady shoots are worthy of an 11 year wait.
Brady has some crazy patience. But with his scouting efforts, he knew the area well and knew what it held for bulls. Passing all those bulls sure made for a great film. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Great Video ! The best part is that you drew points and worked for it, rather than having the money to pay for a guided hunt on private land, costing thousands of dollars .. You sir are the true Hunter ! Kudos to you !
Thank you! Appreciate that. Thanks for the kind words. Brady is a great person and loves to do hunts his way.
Sometimes, depending one the states’ license and tag fees, it can cost you as much as, if not more, than a guided hunt would lol but it is great to see it done this way.
A real whopper, humdinger bull! I usually like Uncle Randy for elk content, but this film was excellent. Amazing hunter and amazing camera work, what a team! Thanks for bringing us along on a hunt of a lifetime!!
Your comment means the world to us. Thanks for the kind words and watching the film.
Cool antler growth in this area..."the one" from the day before the opener had that same type of asymmetry but with the bigger stack on the left. Then that other dinosaur that had almost a moose paddle up top on one side. Thanks to everyone that worked on this, really enjoyable.
The patience you have is insane, great job !
Well said, Brady is on another level when it comes to being patient. Thanks for watching.
Another great hunt! Love seeing Brady and Omar hooking up on so many hunts.
Thanks for watching! We agree, they make a great team on the mountain.
Another opening day…..you are so right. Another great video, what a great country we live in to get to experience this lifestyle.
Thank you for watching and best of luck this season!
Thanks for an amazing video. The quality everyone put into this is incredible.
Thank you for the kind words! And by the way... absolutely love your UA-cam handle name!
Well done! I love everything about this film.
Appreciate that greatly! Thank you for watching.
Always love your videos. You value the aminals spirit, and I commend you on your harvest.
That means a lot to Brady! He says a huge thanks.
Awesome footage. Freak of a bull. Brady you are that guy. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
Greatest hunting film on UA-cam right now
That right there means the world to us. Thank you!
Well done, Brady and GoHunt crew! Thanks for putting these out.
We have to thank you for watching and for the support! Really glad you enjoyed this one.
This was an excellent video Brady and Omar. One of the best I have watched in a while!
Thank you! We are glad people have enjoyed this film. Can't wait to share some other films we have dropping this year.
My first video by you and wow. Just amazing footage and editing. Really enjoyed it.
Love hearing that! Thanks for watching. Greatly appreciate you.
Great video guys! 🔥💯🔥💯 Such a great bull Brady!
Thank you!!
Great film and shooting! Love watching your hunts. Thanks for posting
Greatly appreciate the support! Thanks for watching.
@@GOHUNT love supporting great companies!!
Awesome hunt, I love open sight muzzleloader hunts.
Thank you! An open sight muzzleloader makes for a really fun and challenging hunt. But the reward is so worth it.
@@GOHUNT What peep sight was he using?
Can’t believe you left Trail at home, we all know he’s the ‘Elk’ guy!!! 😁👊🏻 Awesome Bull Brady!!!
Haha!! Brady badly wanted Trail on this hunt as well. Trail was getting his work stuff lined out since he drew an archery mule deer hunt for later in the fall. And thanks for the kind words, this Brady responding back to you.
Great hunt thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking time to watch the film. Hope you had a great weekend.
Good job! love the film.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate all the support.
Awesome video, and great bull.
Thank you!! Really fun hunt to relive and we appreciate you watching.
Awesome bull Brady! Can you do a follow up on that muzzy and its sights? I have never seen that before.
Thank you!! I’ll have a full article up on GOHUNT this week. If I remember right, we are waiting on inventory. The muzzy sight I used is a Revic EXO. The system is so amazing for an open sight muzzy.
@@brady_j_millernice. Thanks for doing these videos it really helps me figure stuff out. Thinking of getting into muzzleloader now that I can’t shoot my bow much and even as a resident these Nevada tags are hard to come by. Awesome hunt thanks for sharing 👍🏻
@@brady_j_milleralso what did he measure out to if you don’t mind me asking. Nice bull
Loved your video hunt! Thanks so much for it!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the film.
Great bull and great hunt!
Glad you enjoyed the film!
Great bull makes all the hard work worth it!
Agreed! Makes everything that much more enjoyable.
Great hunt. Congratulation
Thank you! Hope you had a great weekend.
Awesome video!! Love the composure and ethics of Brady throughout the whole film. Well deserved class A bull.
Don’t want to speak too soon, but were those GoHunt Game bags that have opening zippers on them at the end of the film?? Will those be coming soon??
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Also great eye... those zippered game bags are now available at our Gear Shop: shop.gohunt.com/products/gohunt-bom-game-bags They are amazing game bags and Brady put a ton of his ideas out there for the perfect zippered game bag as he was a big part of this zippered game bag design.
This might be the first time I’ve seen Brady and a truck in the same video
Haha, right! Brady is a backpack guy through and through, but even he sometimes knows he can't backpack everything :) But he will still probably try to backpack everything lol
Awesome
Thanks for watching!! Hope you had a great weekend.
Awesome hunt man!
Thank you!! Best of luck this upcoming season.
@@GOHUNT Thank you and you too
Great job Brady!! What a hunt!
Appreciate you watching and hope you had a great weekend.
03:10 - Look I know the swaro BTX is an expensive and very useful piece of kit, and I support, but man does it make a spotter look goofy haha. That spotting scope looks straight out of whoville. 😁 That said. amazing video yall, That ones a monster!
Cool deal Brady!! I’m thinking Omar adopted Brady so he can understand why girls are not important 😆 True there’s only so many opener’s but how many times can we go to the last day and then fill a tag nothing better than enjoying Mother Nature ✌🏻👍🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for watching. Haha!! Most likely that's why :) And agreed, nothing is better than spending time in the mountains.
Beautiful bull, Brady! Way to go! BIG ELK guy 😉
Thanks buddy!! And ha… I’ll leave that title to the true elk people ;)
I’ve been waiting for this video from Brady’s hunt. Did not disappoint! Could we by chance get some more info on his muzzy rifle?
Glad you enjoyed it! It's an Arrowhead muzzleloader. And is their Orion package with a McMillan Game Warden 2.0 stock. 300 grain NSR bullets, 115 grains by weight of Blackhorn 209 pushing roughly 2,500 fps. And it has the Revic EXO adjustable muzzleloader sight on top. Brady is also using an MDT Ckye Pod Gen 2 single pull bipod.
I want to know how many miles are on Brady’s truck
Ha. My truck has seen some crazy places. It’s creeping real close to 200K. I’m too cheap for a new truck, so I just keep this one rolling.
Priorities! New vehicles (post 2020) suck anyways.
@@brady_j_millerI hope mine gets to 300k so I can hunt more
@@brady_j_miller After that one video of you hammering that truck in the snow... I was not sure it would survive those high revs to get out. Hey good on Chevy for making a durable truck. Rock on Brady!
Brady is officially a big elk guy😎 if you listen to the podcast you know what i mean😅
Haha. Brady is pretty hard headed against that statement lol
I love all of these ... but is there any Elk hunting video on the internet that involves a forest with trees ... lots of trees :)
Glad you enjoyed. And haha. Need to find some thicker timber :)
Missed opportunity to include the song “in da club”
Haha!! Totally should have. Sometimes Brady drops some good one liners lol
Am I the only one who thought this was in New Mexico instead of Nevada when he first talked about the hunt months ago?
As you probably know, Brady loves to avoid talking about areas and tossing out smoke and mirrors from time to time about where he hunts haha.
Freaking epic! Very well put together film and great outcome for such a highly anticipated hunt. Almost makes me want to put down the bow and become a muzzy guy!! Do you mind sharing what setup you ran on this hunt?
Thank you! Brady tried his best to do this tag justice since he most likely will never draw it again. It's an Arrowhead Rifles muzzleloader in 45 cal. It's their Orion package muzzy with a Revic Exo adjustable muzzy sight on top. Shooting 300 grain NSR bullets with Blackhorn 209 primers. And the stock is a McMillan Game Warden 2.0.
I was hoping you would get that 8 x 9!
That bull was so cool! Even if that bull wasn't going to score as high as Brady's bull... it would just be unique to say you shot an 8x9 bull.
Great hunt and hat off to Brady for patience and determination to make his tag work. Question - I haven't been able to find out what muzzle loader he was using for the hunt? Looked amazing given the elevation adjustment peep sight in the back and quick reloading. Was there a reason why he didn't use a scope on the gun?
Greatly, greatly appreciate that. Brady really wanted to do this tag justice and it while it was heartbreaking for him to walk away from that bull as he couldn't see through his peep with legal shooting light left, it was the best decision he could have ade. The muzzleloader setup is made by Arrowhead Rifles out of Arizona. They make amazing rifles and muzzleloaders!! It's setup in 45 cal and is their Orion package muzzy with a Revic Exo adjustable muzzy sight on top. That peep sight setup is very nice being able to adjust for distance. Shooting 300 grain NSR bullets with Blackhorn 209 primers. And the stock is a McMillan Game Warden 2.0. The reason he didn't use a scope is the state he was hunting requires hunters to use peep sights. So it added an extra challenge to the hunt, but one that Brady was excited for.
Great video. Unfortunately I have no points in Nevada.
You always have a chance in a state like Nevada. We hear from lots of people who draw in Nevada as a nonresident and get lucky with minimum points. So it's not out of reach per se.
When the sun was on you guys at sunrise opening morning I thought it was a lord of the rings scene. How’s that Brady?
Awesome video and bull. 11 years in Nevada isn’t that long in comparison to most. What kind of gun set up did you have for the hunt looks awesome
Glad you enjoyed the video!! Brady definitely still got lucky on pulling the tag, but being a Nevada resident, he definitely has a draw odds advantage. Brady was using an Arrowhead Rifles muzzleloader in 45 cal. It's their Orion package muzzy with a Revic Exo adjustable muzzy sight on top. Shooting 300 grain NSR bullets with Blackhorn 209 primers. And the stock is a McMillan Game Warden 2.0. It flat out shoots!! Brady highly recommends this setup.
💪💪
Thanks for watching!
What is the spotting scope/phone mount setup you run? So clean on and off.
Great question. That is made by Ollin. It works off a phone case specific to your phone, and then a ring that is specific to your spotting scope or binoculars. It is all a magnetic system. You can check them out here: shop.gohunt.com/collections/ollin
Going to tell my kids, this is the Tom Brady of elk hunters. Mule deer meant nothing to him.
Hahaha!! This might be the best comment in response to this video.
The Elk (Cervus canadensis), also known as the wapiti is a large deer species native to North America and Eastern Asia, it is the largest of the six extant deer species constituting the genus Cervus and the second largest deer species alive today, with only the Moose (Alces alces) being larger, the closest living relative of the elk is the Hangul (Cervus hanglu) that resides in Central Asia, there are fifteen known subspecies of elk: the Tibetan Elk (Cervus canadensis wallichii), the Kansu Elk (Cervus canadensis kansuensis), the Sichuan Elk (Cervus canadensis macneilli), the Mongolian Elk (Cervus canadensis mongoliensis), the Alashan Elk (Cervus canadensis alashanicus), the Tian Shan Elk (Cervus canadensis songaricus), the Manchurian Elk (Cervus canadensis xanthopygus), the †Korean Elk (Cervus canadensis coreanus), the Siberian Elk (Cervus canadensis sibiricus), the Roosevelt Elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti), the Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni), the Tule Elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes), the †Merriam's Elk (Cervus canadensis merriami), the Manitoba Elk (Cervus canadensis manitobensis), and the †Algonquin Elk (Cervus canadensis canadensis).
Brady, what is the mid layer that you are wearing that has the fleece liner?
That’s the Sitka Ambient hoody I was wearing a lot on this hunt. It’s been one of my staple pieces.
@@brady_j_miller Thanks Brady. This is one of my favorite videos of yours so far. The cinematography keeps getting better and better.
I need to know what sight Brady has on this Smoke pole?
It's a Revic Exo Extreme Sight. Really, really slick setup!
The GoHunt yeti yonder coming soon?
If we get enough requests we can add that customization. Currenty we will just sell the bottle without the branding as we have them on order to add to the GOHUNT Gear Shop.
What Brand of Muzzleloader are you using???? Thanks!!!
Arrowhead Rifles from AZ. They are badass.
What bullets were you using Brady???
Brady was using the Arrowhead NSR 300 grain bullets: arrowheadrifles.com/product/nsr/
Thank you
Anyone know what bi-pod he was running?
Brady is using the MDT Ckye Pod Gen 2 single pull bipod. He uses it on all his firearms and loves it. But the cost is pretty scary.
Who makes that muzzleloader?
It’s made by Arrowhead Rifles out of Arizona. They make phenomenal muzzleloaders! I was using their muzzy in 45 cal.
can someone explain to me why its so coveted to “draw” this tag? like how does it work can anyone not buy a bull elk tag?
Happy to help. And great question. You need to apply in a draw for an elk tag in the state Brady was hunting. And then you build up points each year you don't draw. Which are basically then more names in the hat each year you keep applying. And in this state, they don't give out many elk tags, so it's typically a very long wait to draw a bull tag. Thanks for watching!
What state was this in?
As much as we'd like to mention it, Brady is pretty secretive on the states he hunts.
It looks a lot like Iowa and the bull tags are hard to come by in Iowa
Put the guns down boys cmonnnnn bows only be men
I can't handle the vocal fry in this video.
I feel like Brady only works at gohunt for the discount in gear
Those wild horses are just rats, grass n water rats - that just need to be made into dog food. Aka “ranch rats”
At least say the state…🙄
I don’t believe in talking about the state. So I keep it out of my films and hunts. More so out of respect for either locals who might live and hunt there more often, or people who randomly are applying for the same area to not blow up spots. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed the film.
It wouldn't be hard to figure out, state that requires points and hunter orange not required
What would that add? Blow up more spots?
At least Uncle Randy tells us what state he’s in, I mean really Nevada is like 75% public lands. Im sure just saying Nevada is going to give the spot away. Good bull !!
Why does everyone need to know?!? Just hunt…
Looks boring.
Spending a bunch of money buying points and a tag to sit around on your butt and look through binoculars then walking up and killing something. I’d rather spend my money skiing, biking or climbing.
Awesome 👏 elk hunt Brady and Omar. I myself have been waiting for this one as well. These last couple years Brady has turned into a real BIG ELK guy.
Pretty cool to do this hunt with an open sight muzzleloader. I actually drew an Utah general deer 🦌 muzzleloader hunt as my first ever western big game hunt. This is their first year in a while where you can’t use scopes there. Should be interesting 🧐 😃🦌🏜️⛺️
While Brady will never admit it, we all wonder if he's a big elk guy at heart :) At least it was fun to see Brady put in the effort to enjoy this elk tag to the fullest. Huge congrats on drawing your muzzleloader deer tag!! Can't wait to see how your hunt goes. It's been a long time coming and we are so happy for you!! Thanks for watching the film, buddy!
@@GOHUNT true he probably never will. Some deer 🦌 guys are closet big elk guys and vice versa. lol 😆
It definitely was fun to watch him do what he does best, challenge himself and grind it out for the bull he wanted. Plus he proved that taking the smoke 💨 pole opens other fun opportunities.
Thank you 🙏 it’s been a long time coming and I’m looking forward to it. I definitely will let you guys know how it goes. If I was hunting closer to Cedar City I would stop by the office.
Stellar video and dandy bull. Thanks for taking us on your journey.
Greatly appreciate that!
