    I was in this unit back in November for my wife’s Mule deer hunt that she drew. It was crazy how big and remote that country is. We also had the jets scare the sh*t out of us one evening.

    Nice video. Its all about the stalk. Pulling the trigger is anticlimatic. The challenge and excitement comes when you find tracks or other sign and start the sneak. I generally choose the cow calf tag for more options. Always cover many miles before the shot.keep those vids coming

    This has become my favorite show over the last year. Got caught up on all the old episodes on Amazon Prime, been following all the episodes in You Tube. I think it's great that Randy features his crew in some episodes. It looks like you guys are having a great time. I wish I was there instead of working. Good luck. Hunt well.

    When I watch the crew hunt and do the monologue/commentary I have even greater respect for Randy's natural banter and varying informative story-telling live. Michael's improving but it's obviously not easy to keep the story moving without repetition.
    Cudos Michael. Keep on. Experience matters.
    This video was little long. IMO

    You're hunting my favorite country on earth. Reach out if you wanna know about the ancient supervolcanoes that you tromped around. The fighter planes @13:15 are actually pretty common, and a wonderful addition to the ambiance. Watching them dog fight at night and canyon carve is amazing.

    Not sure how many viewers know it: the “chuckling” sound @ 6:18, right after the guys talk about Chukar hunting was a group of Chukars. Tough to hunt, hard to hit, but hunting them is very addictive and they taste pretty good too.

    Michael, those boots are nasty. Get yourself some "Bick 4" conditioner and slather a bunch of it on there AFTER you get those salt stains off the leather. Saddle Soap is your friend. Take care of the hoof-covers young man ! After a good slathering of Bick 4, get after it with some Obenauff's HD.

      Looks like a Kifaru Gun Bearer sling. I bought one last fall and really liked it. The only thing I didn’t like was when I slipped climbing a steep hill and buried the barrel of my rifle in the mud. I always pack a bore snake ever since. If you set it up the way Randy does (on your back) that won’t happen, but it’s not as easily accessible. The way Michael carries it, you can get it to your shoulder as fast as if you’re carrying it in your hands.

    Been hunting there for years. I hunt for cow elk and it used to be great. More bulls than cows, but I filled a my tags. After increasing the tags from three hunts of 30 to 3 hunts of 150, they are smart enough to go elsewhere. I miss the good old days of seeing elk and filling tags out there. To many roads for that many hunters. The poor elk got run around like crazy that first year.
