I'm from Wyoming and I hunt too. But I agree with Jackknife. Thought maybe I should rethink my shooting limits.... But not after watching this video. Save the long shots for milk jugs.
I'm a hunter and long range shooting may be impressive, my concern is how many animals were wounded and lost? I'm sure that part gets edited out of these videos, Anything killed to be eaten deserves the quickest death possible.
My best and most memorable kills have all been within 50 yards, quick and clean. All bragging size animals by the way. Getting close and doing it right makes you a hunter. I can hit a 10"steel plate regularly at 700 to 800 yards though and that's fun. Nothing suffers and runs off wounded. I have made the mistake of taking long shots like these and the results weren't quick and clean, leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Lesson learned.
@GastonGross Talent is one thing and should be respected, but this "talent" is far to risky to be humane and a hundredth of an inch error could make a 6 inch difference.
I don't know. I'm a hardcore hunter but there's just something about this that leaves a bad taste. I mean,it's legal so more power to ya. But this isn't hunting. This is just shooting.
I'm not a hunter my self, but it's just target practice at this point. Don't get me wrong I'm not against hunting but is this right? do they go out an collect the price since it's so far?
I think u guys r just hatin!!!! 500yd+ shots on animals is insane talent!!!! Now why kill an not retrieve the kill? Well if thats the case then ok i agree 🤣😂🤣 either way dont hate the player hate the game!!
@@santiagosknowitall6954 not saying it doesn't require talent, I just don't think it is a sporting or ethical way of hunting. Animal has zero chance to know you're there, so minimal "hunting" skill required. There is also more margin for error with the shot, or simply the animal moving before the bullet reaches it. So more chance of wounding/slow death. Same talent could be put to use target shooting.
I wonder how many of those wounded bears were recovered? I am 65 and have hunted since I was 18. I have taken many animals. Never once did I take a shot over 350 yards. I stalked in closer as I never wanted to wound an animal and have it run off to die a lingering death. I can honestly say I’ve never lost an animal. One did run for over 400 yards and it took me half a day to track it. I was sick over that - all the needless suffering I created because I didn’t use enough cartridge. I am sad to see that this video is what hunting has evolved into today - long range sniping. Many of those shots were not clean, quick, kills. And many were going to require hours of tracking. Many of those bears especially. Here is a truth that these would be hunter-snipers need to learn: On elk and bear - to reliably anchor the animal you need 1800 foot pounds of energy at the impact point. Past 500 yards, there are only a few cartridges that will generate 1800 foot pounds of energy. It is easy to figure out your maximum range. Look at a ballistics chart and see at what distance 1800 foot pounds is reached. That should be the maximum distance at which you shoot elk or bear sized animals. Most cartridges will max out that 1800 foot pounds at less than 500 yards. I know of no cartridge that will retain that energy at 1200 yards. Any shot at elk or moose or bear sized animals that exceed that 1800 foot pound range is quite simply an unethical shot. For deer and antelope sized game, 1200 foot pounds are needed for a clean quick kill. So those species can be shot at a farther distance because it takes less energy to put them down. But again, it is really easy to figure out - just look at a ballistics chart and see where that 1200 foot pound range is. That is your maximum ethical shot distance. Most of these hunter-snipers do not understand these hunting principles.They were trained in the military where their target was other humans. Humans need much less energy to put down then do any of the other species. Just because you can hit an animal at a particular long range distance does not mean that the bullet will retain enough foot pounds of energy to anchor that animal. Without the necessary energy, all you’ve done is wound the animal. There’s nothing to be proud of.
The Bear shots pissed me off the most. Maybe baiting is legal, I just dont think its very ethical. I think most of these are "Trophy" shooters and want bragging rights on distance. Some had 2 or 3 cameras and people filming with a spotter laying beside the shooter. Trophy Snipers, not really hunters at all.
@@bryanbiltoft8141 Guess you are one of those snipers that'll shoot at anything that moves, no matter the distance and how unlikely your shot will anchor and kill the animal quickly. It's "hunters" like you that give the rest of us - and the sport - a bad name. You need to rethink your arrogance.
@@tienmou68 No, I'm one of those guys who train year-round and is proficient with his weapons system and its limitations. You need to re-think your training regimen and examine your own shortcomings before trying to guess how other people approach hunting.
I'm glad you guys are this skilled but I was raised that if you can't hit a 4 in target at whatever range you DON'T shoot at game that far, the animals deserve better.
Thank you for posting this OUTSTANDING montage, Joe! I've never seen so many vapor trails in one video! And great music, too! You have a new subscriber!
There's a lot going on here. There's some extremely good shots, with an instant kill where the animal just dropped where it stood. Then there were some appalling shots where I doubt the wounded animal was ever retrieved. I also have to ask myself if some of these guys are just thrill killer's, who never intended to hike a mile through rugged terrain to claim their prize. Even if you do try to harvest your kill, how much can you carry out of the hills on your back? No, I think if you're going to hunt Game, do it so as to ensure a quick kill and harvest the whole thing.
mark vines Respect your pray. I can’t afford hunting and a license over here in Germany. In Europe we believe in tight gun control. Yet, especially long range shooting is super fascinating to me, because I think it must be really difficult and needs a lot of awareness of the gun used and even more the sourroundings. Strange way to become „one with nature“...
I have to agree. Hunting is fine but not ensuring that an animal is killed instantly is a display of lack of skill and cruel to the animal where it dies an agonisingly slow death. Thats not hunting.
Far from actually Hunting (driving log cuts watching multiple bait stations at pre doped out locations is just shooting) , but ya, many of the shots were good ones but, many were not either, gut shooting and looseing an animal at any range, is still a gut shot!

There is a reason why shots like this are highly illegal in Norway on all wildgame.. over 50% of the shots you took in this video was gut shots.. Here in Norway you would literally go to jail for this video.. Long range shooting belongs on a f'in shooting range
yea, but they most likely let them lay for the vultures....1000 yards is for paper....50 yards = a real hunter looking for food on the table. if you cant get close enough to shoot a deer, elk, moose or what ever, you need to take up a new hobby... perhaps knitting.
Fantastic Shooting and hunting! Take advantage of our great nations liberty while its still there. There seems to be alot of snow flakes here... I wish I could be in this video enjoying the liberty!
Our sport has enough obstacles. In my opinion, promoting this type of irresponsibility only adds fuel to the fire for those who choose to label us as killers. What we need to be promoting are enjoying the thrill of the hunt, sharing it with our friends and family and the fact that a clean, ethical harvest is what we always strive for. Shots at these ranges are simply for the thrill of the kill and not the hunt and the odds of missing or worse yet, wounding an animal are extremely high, especially for anyone that watches your videos and thinks with a few shots at their local gun range, they can make an ethical kill. Help preserve our sport by teaching our youth and newcomers properly and responsibly.
West of the Rockies . Animal snipers. This is definitely not hunting. It’s right up there with poaching. Well maybe that’s a little extreme, however it should be banned. Thumbs down. Not even watching the rest.
Terrence Dillon oh? So you think it would be a great idea for government to tell us how far to shoot and maybe even what kinds of weapons we have to choose from? Hell no! Granted this guy is putting piss poor shots into some of these animals... this isn’t how responsible long range capable hunters operate.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm 36 and have been hunting in some aspect for 30 years now and the longest shot I've ever taken was about 300 yards......on feral hogs destroying a wheat field! I cannot think of a reason why you should be making a 400+ yard shot on any "game" animal. Now on and invasive or destructive species....perhaps.... maybe. Just because it's legal doesn't mean that it's ethical. This is pure ammo for the gun grabbers!! @ 10:20 they are shooting at a silhouette of PART of a deer in thick grass and that's just plain lazy. This video makes ethical hunters look bad cause the opposition lumps us all together regardless.
I love how everyone in the comments is either the most ethical person in the world, or a literal sniper lmao. Just because its farther than you are comfortable shooting doesn't mean its unethical guys.
That's true to a point, there's some pretty shitty hits with excessive delay. Get closer, a bigger gun, the lack of respect for the game pursued is disgusting-super sniper.
For Christ's sake, many of those shot were unethical at best and disgraceful decision and shot making at worst. If you're going to take extreme long range shots, you had damn well be perfect every time...every time!
@@yetimangaming9384 wrong dumbass...The spike is fast and humane...what these dipshits are doing is wounding these animals and giving them a long painful death...real hunters don't do this, we stalk the prey to a safe distance for the shot and always have a plan as to how we are going to get the animal out of the woods...this isn't hunting.
Realgrower ok well a gut shot with a high caliber rifle will still kill an animal even though it might run some yards it will die, like it’s guts are busted inside of it.
The gentleman does have a brain, he asks a very pertinent question, such a shame you had to resort to rank bad manners in reply, how about you apologise, then answer him!
@@primalfighter9150 The objective is to recover the animal. Not just shoot to see if u can hit the animal. Save extreme long shots for milk jugs. Not animals. Plus your rifle ammo should have at least 1000lbs of energy at the distance u are shooting at. Do not waste a game animal. They deserve better than just to be someones live target. And by the way I am a long range hunter. Live in Montana. But don't shoot animals just for fun. I have always recovered my animals. 756 yds antelope. Bear deer and elk less yardage.
i agree, they most likely let them lay where they shot them... if you cant get within 50 yards or so it will be a wash...very poor hunting ethics, i think they should change their hobby to knitting, what a bunch of pussy's.
isellcatlitter why would they let them lay there? They shoot to eat, and don’t waste a single bit of every animal they get. Long shots or not, every animal is hit with a killing shot, and retrieved afterwards.
@@Clarkuss92 they are shooting a thousand yards at black bears.......what makes you think they would walk up a mountain after a shot if they wouldn't do it before the shot?!?
I don't like this way of hunting as well - they drive to a location where they feed the bears (thats what there barrels are for) - but all of these hits where deadly - sometimes the bear is running for some time, but these are just the muscles still working. Every time they will search for the animal and if its only wounded they will search as long as it needs to find it.
@@horstlange1733 Those belly shots make for a slow and excruciatingly painful death that could take several hours (or even days, depending on the caliber) before they kill.
Lionheart XVa actually thats not true. I know what you mean, but thats only the case for smaller calibers - a bigger caliber like the ones used in the video will destroy the fragile lungs even though it’s hitting a little further back. Most of the shots hit at least close to the lungs as well. The problem is, that you cant guarantee a killing hit on that distance. The chance of hitting somewhere, where its not immediately lethal is just to high. I think in one clip they just hint the legs and the filmcrew is telling him to reload and shot again
@@horstlange1733 Thanks for the clarification. The largest calibers people usually hunt with is .30-06 / 8x57 which is enough for the wild boar and deer we have here and I've witnessed searched that lasted for 12 hours and went over several miles, especially with wild boar that have been shot in the guts. There was definitely no damage to the lungs there, even with a .30-06 / 8x57. I wonder how large the difference in energy is between a .30-06 at 120 yards compared to a .338LM at 700 yards. I think every hunter has had a bad shot sometime in his hunting career and those negative experiences are usually the ones that haunt you for years, motivating you to become a better, safer and more proficient shooter. I couldn't imagine taking those risky long-range shots just for the fun of it and walking away as if everything was fine.
Coming from an avid hunter and scout sniper who has experienced hunting man and beast, all I have to say is don't get sucked into this crazy crap. The chances are that at ranges over 500 yards you will most likely wound that animal to never be found, and I absolutely will not shoot at any game animal farther than 500 yards in absolutely calm wind conditions from a prone position. This is coming from a professionally trained sniper. Hunting these beautiful animals deserves the utmost respect. Just seeing someone who has not been professionally trained shooting at these distances is pure D bullshit for the beautiful animals we hunt. Whoever has these kids shooting at our game animals doesn't care enough about the animals to teach them how to be a good hunter to begin with.
As much as I like long range hunting, and seeing some good "one shot drop" hits, some of the commentators have a good point. shooting at very long range I'd save it for milk jugs, varmints and coyotes. It also is good practice and test of skill. But the moral of hunting is to pit your skills against the animal. The animal has to have a chance, and shooting it at 1000 yards when you can stalk it and get up to 200 to take a shot. tells something.
I think a lot of the people upset are probably from the eastern US as I am. We don’t take shots like this because there aren’t a lot of opportunities to do so. As long as you’re doing it ethically then right on! BTW the guy the designed the 7mm mag specifically designed it to take game to 500 yards in the west where that is a more common thing to do
I work to get under 200 yards for all my hunting. Been hunting almost 50 years now and my average on deer is probably 125 yards and on elk 100. Don't see the need to take such long shots.
azoutlaw123 ive been within 250yds of elk but all we seen were spikers while holding antlerless only tag. I will get an elk someday. My muleys and speed goats are all within 200yds dropped 1 shot.
If you think I'm ever going support taking 800 yard shots at living game your high sonny. If that makes me a POS in your eyes, well then I guess I'll just have to live with it won't I.
AZ has the absolute right to disagree with you. The fact you resort to insults because someone says something that doesn't sit well with you is immature and displays a mindset where if one is to belong they have no voice and no choice with you. You have a long way to go. AZ is not a POS. I won't go down to your level and use your kind of language but you should know that your view is narrow minded and angry. Grow up. You're far from a good representative in a civilized society. Take this from a life long hunter. People are entitled to their opinions and you should respect that. So many bears, black bears are easy to kill, running without the video showing where they end up. Bad shots, wounded game. Poor field ethics.
Wow absolutely incredible. That shot at 1498 was insane. Great work, i understand how much time, effort and money goes into being able to make these shots, keep up the great work! Best long range hunting videos i have ever seen. What bullet are you using and what kind of velocity are you getting out the 338 edge? I made a great shot last year at 1066 yards on a moose but pretty much maxed out my 300win mag with 210VLDs. i'm looking to eventually upgrade to a 338 Lapua AI or an EDGE. You guys must work hard recovering some of them bears down in them slopes lol
And after reading some of the comments it’s sad that some people are hating on your long range shots but don’t worry most are just UA-cam Warriors who like to Criticize others and have probably never shot at that distances or held a gun a day in there life’s so once again good shooting and great hunting
The thrill of a hunt is being able to go on a great hunt. I've harvest black bear 3yd to 40yd is my longest shot. Deer is a different story up to 150yd elk in rifle season is 150yd to 500yd. So you must can shoot
PETA has invaded the entire comment sector, The title of this video says it all. Why would you even click on it if you don’t like the content. Blows my mind
Hey thanks for the reply,oh don't get me wrong i ain't knocking anyone shooting a target at a 1000yds +,but surely your not going to sit there and tell me that shooting at a target is the same as a live animal?the target is not going to move but an animal might or a gust of wind could happen and at that distance my friend you and i both know by the time that bullet travels to that animal it ain't going to hit the same point which you aimed at which more than likely result in a wounded animal roaming about for hours,days or weeks,also by the time you pack up your kit,travel to where the animal was shot it would probably be long gone and finding it would be pretty difficult,in the end i probably just have more respect for my quarry!!
shooting Dears oke this is food but why shooting bears? Is this also for meat? This is a nice and strong animal also you see that they mostly are not killed with one shot.
Washington state alone has an estimated 35,000 black bears, Oregon is about the same. Much more people should bear hunt. Overpopulation cause much more suffering, starvation, and disease.

Don’t those fancy long range guns have windage turrets or something similar?
@@Matt-ef1yx you have to measure your own wind. And in them box canyons your windage can change rapidly.
@@jimthejam6668 If you can put up a bait station, you can put up a few flags.
There is a reason why shots like this are highly illegal in Norway on all wildgame.. over 50% of the shots you took in this video was gut shots.. Here in Norway you would literally go to jail for this video.. Long range shooting belongs on a f'in shooting range
Watch out everyone. Europe is being self-righteous and getting annoyed again.......
100% correct and they all deserve doing hard time in prison.
@@cope4288 Watch out everyone. USA is having no arguments and getting annoyed again...
you right Aron, no respectable hunter does this crap.
@@damiencerutti6269 If it hasn't been for Europe, America would not have existed. Think about that and dream on.
It's one thing to shoot paper but putting down meat...awesome. Nice shootin'.
yea, but they most likely let them lay for the vultures....1000 yards is for paper....50 yards = a real hunter looking for food on the table. if you cant get close enough to shoot a deer, elk, moose or what ever, you need to take up a new hobby... perhaps knitting.
Nice brother.👍👍👍
Fantastic Shooting and hunting! Take advantage of our great nations liberty while its still there. There seems to be alot of snow flakes here... I wish I could be in this video enjoying the liberty!
Who ever is shooting the Bears needs to become a better shot or stop hunting
you are a dumb ass all bears in this video were harvested and eaten.
+Joe Ulrich bullshit, that was a haunch shot on the bear.
this whole chat log is a stupid argument
Okay, but still, the bear was felling pain, and when that happens, you can better stop hunting. And don't call him a dumbass please.
+Pit Beumer dumbass
Our sport has enough obstacles. In my opinion, promoting this type of irresponsibility only adds fuel to the fire for those who choose to label us as killers. What we need to be promoting are enjoying the thrill of the hunt, sharing it with our friends and family and the fact that a clean, ethical harvest is what we always strive for. Shots at these ranges are simply for the thrill of the kill and not the hunt and the odds of missing or worse yet, wounding an animal are extremely high, especially for anyone that watches your videos and thinks with a few shots at their local gun range, they can make an ethical kill. Help preserve our sport by teaching our youth and newcomers properly and responsibly.
West of the Rockies . Animal snipers. This is definitely not hunting. It’s right up there with poaching. Well maybe that’s a little extreme, however it should be banned. Thumbs down. Not even watching the rest.
Totally agreed with you.
Terrence Dillon oh? So you think it would be a great idea for government to tell us how far to shoot and maybe even what kinds of weapons we have to choose from? Hell no! Granted this guy is putting piss poor shots into some of these animals... this isn’t how responsible long range capable hunters operate.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm 36 and have been hunting in some aspect for 30 years now and the longest shot I've ever taken was about 300 yards......on feral hogs destroying a wheat field! I cannot think of a reason why you should be making a 400+ yard shot on any "game" animal. Now on and invasive or destructive species....perhaps.... maybe. Just because it's legal doesn't mean that it's ethical. This is pure ammo for the gun grabbers!! @ 10:20 they are shooting at a silhouette of PART of a deer in thick grass and that's just plain lazy. This video makes ethical hunters look bad cause the opposition lumps us all together regardless.
I am totally with you on this, videos like this one definitely do not promote anything good about this practice.
These Shots Are All SERIOUSLY fuckin IMPRESSIVE! ...WOW😲😳
Great tune..............................
I love how everyone in the comments is either the most ethical person in the world, or a literal sniper lmao. Just because its farther than you are comfortable shooting doesn't mean its unethical guys.
That's true to a point, there's some pretty shitty hits with excessive delay. Get closer, a bigger gun, the lack of respect for the game pursued is disgusting-super sniper.
For Christ's sake, many of those shot were unethical at best and disgraceful decision and shot making at worst. If you're going to take extreme long range shots, you had damn well be perfect every time...every time!
Yeah those shots at the bears were hard to watch
I agree 100%
Look up how slaughterhouses kill cows so shooting it with a bullet is no different then driving a spike through it's skull
@@yetimangaming9384 except at a slaughter house the bolt kills them instantly. Gut shot equals suffering
@@yetimangaming9384 wrong dumbass...The spike is fast and humane...what these dipshits are doing is wounding these animals and giving them a long painful death...real hunters don't do this, we stalk the prey to a safe distance for the shot and always have a plan as to how we are going to get the animal out of the woods...this isn't hunting.
Nice hunting,bro
Great shooting and good hunting
how about a video trying to recover all the gut shot animals
How about a video with you finding a brain.
Brice Henry he has a point some of these were gut shots and it’s not good at all
Realgrower ok well a gut shot with a high caliber rifle will still kill an animal even though it might run some yards it will die, like it’s guts are busted inside of it.
The gentleman does have a brain, he asks a very pertinent question, such a shame you had to resort to rank bad manners in reply, how about you apologise, then answer him!
@@primalfighter9150
The objective is to recover the animal. Not just shoot to see if u can hit the animal. Save extreme long shots for milk jugs. Not animals.
Plus your rifle ammo should have at least 1000lbs of energy at the distance u are shooting at.
Do not waste a game animal. They deserve better than just to be someones live target.
And by the way I am a long range hunter. Live in Montana.
But don't shoot animals just for fun.
I have always recovered my animals.
756 yds antelope.
Bear deer and elk less yardage.
Is this "shooting for food?" or just because the animal can't fight back ??
Wow awesome shooting.
3:10 you can see the bullet trajectory. Amazing.
Best shooter don’t shoot bear from that distance, it’s cruel.
no its not
Best shooter hunter only shoot during running
😂
@الملل الرهيب ?So your vegan then
@الملل الرهيب The meat and bear skin rug/blanket.
good vid about how not to hunt animals.
9 out of 10 bears run away shot in the ass.
You an idiot
It was not me who shot the bear in the ass.
+Arnór Hermannsson you probably have never been hunting
son i hunt a lot.
and i never shoot an animal in the ass
Yeah, these are a lot of long shots. Wonder how many were wounded that we don't see. Either way, these are some pretty amazing shots
Nice vid
Great shooting
honestly you guys should throw in a video with you retrieving all these animals you shot. maybe put some people at ease.
i agree, they most likely let them lay where they shot them... if you cant get within 50 yards or so it will be a wash...very poor hunting ethics, i think they should change their hobby to knitting, what a bunch of pussy's.
I think within 50 yards is too long. Try within 15 yards.
Junaluska Montelongo димаш кудаибегенов
isellcatlitter why would they let them lay there? They shoot to eat, and don’t waste a single bit of every animal they get. Long shots or not, every animal is hit with a killing shot, and retrieved afterwards.
@@Clarkuss92 they are shooting a thousand yards at black bears.......what makes you think they would walk up a mountain after a shot if they wouldn't do it before the shot?!?
so do you go a search for the wounded bears???????
I don't like this way of hunting as well - they drive to a location where they feed the bears (thats what there barrels are for) - but all of these hits where deadly - sometimes the bear is running for some time, but these are just the muscles still working. Every time they will search for the animal and if its only wounded they will search as long as it needs to find it.
@@horstlange1733 Those belly shots make for a slow and excruciatingly painful death that could take several hours (or even days, depending on the caliber) before they kill.
Lionheart XVa actually thats not true. I know what you mean, but thats only the case for smaller calibers - a bigger caliber like the ones used in the video will destroy the fragile lungs even though it’s hitting a little further back. Most of the shots hit at least close to the lungs as well. The problem is, that you cant guarantee a killing hit on that distance. The chance of hitting somewhere, where its not immediately lethal is just to high. I think in one clip they just hint the legs and the filmcrew is telling him to reload and shot again
@@horstlange1733 Thanks for the clarification. The largest calibers people usually hunt with is .30-06 / 8x57 which is enough for the wild boar and deer we have here and I've witnessed searched that lasted for 12 hours and went over several miles, especially with wild boar that have been shot in the guts. There was definitely no damage to the lungs there, even with a .30-06 / 8x57. I wonder how large the difference in energy is between a .30-06 at 120 yards compared to a .338LM at 700 yards.
I think every hunter has had a bad shot sometime in his hunting career and those negative experiences are usually the ones that haunt you for years, motivating you to become a better, safer and more proficient shooter.
I couldn't imagine taking those risky long-range shots just for the fun of it and walking away as if everything was fine.
@@LionheartSJZ i agree
Coming from an avid hunter and scout sniper who has experienced hunting man and beast, all I have to say is don't get sucked into this crazy crap. The chances are that at ranges over 500 yards you will most likely wound that animal to never be found, and I absolutely will not shoot at any game animal farther than 500 yards in absolutely calm wind conditions from a prone position.
This is coming from a professionally trained sniper. Hunting these beautiful animals deserves the utmost respect. Just seeing someone who has not been professionally trained shooting at these distances is pure D bullshit for the beautiful animals we hunt. Whoever has these kids shooting at our game animals doesn't care enough about the animals to teach them how to be a good hunter to begin with.
Gut shot city
As much as I like long range hunting, and seeing some good "one shot drop" hits, some of the commentators have a good point. shooting at very long range I'd save it for milk jugs, varmints and coyotes. It also is good practice and test of skill. But the moral of hunting is to pit your skills against the animal.
The animal has to have a chance, and shooting it at 1000 yards when you can stalk it and get up to 200 to take a shot. tells something.
"The animal has to have a chance" but it doesnt🐻❌😢
@@stahinjakrackovic2087 Not this way, 1000m shot, good skill but not for hunting. I live in a different area than them. I hunt differently.
I love hunting but gut shots are hard to watch
Nice bro...
I think a lot of the people upset are probably from the eastern US as I am. We don’t take shots like this because there aren’t a lot of opportunities to do so. As long as you’re doing it ethically then right on! BTW the guy the designed the 7mm mag specifically designed it to take game to 500 yards in the west where that is a more common thing to do
I work to get under 200 yards for all my hunting. Been hunting almost 50 years now and my average on deer is probably 125 yards and on elk 100. Don't see the need to take such long shots.
azoutlaw123 ive been within 250yds of elk but all we seen were spikers while holding antlerless only tag. I will get an elk someday. My muleys and speed goats are all within 200yds dropped 1 shot.
AZ so what. You either support all hunters or your POS traitor. End of story.
If you think I'm ever going support taking 800 yard shots at living game your high sonny. If that makes me a POS in your eyes, well then I guess I'll just have to live with it won't I.
Well sonny boy Your worthless POS opinion means nothing. Run along. No one cares what you think.
AZ has the absolute right to disagree with you. The fact you resort to insults because someone says something that doesn't sit well with you is immature and displays a mindset where if one is to belong they have no voice and no choice with you. You have a long way to go. AZ is not a POS. I won't go down to your level and use your kind of language but you should know that your view is narrow minded and angry. Grow up. You're far from a good representative in a civilized society. Take this from a life long hunter. People are entitled to their opinions and you should respect that. So many bears, black bears are easy to kill, running without the video showing where they end up. Bad shots, wounded game. Poor field ethics.
Wow absolutely incredible. That shot at 1498 was insane. Great work, i understand how much time, effort and money goes into being able to make these shots, keep up the great work! Best long range hunting videos i have ever seen. What bullet are you using and what kind of velocity are you getting out the 338 edge? I made a great shot last year at 1066 yards on a moose but pretty much maxed out my 300win mag with 210VLDs. i'm looking to eventually upgrade to a 338 Lapua AI or an EDGE. You guys must work hard recovering some of them bears down in them slopes lol
We are using the 300gr Berger OTM and Elite Hunters depending on what gun. we have a few in my family with velocities ranging from 2794 to 2835
+Joe Ulrich Great vid and music, Joe. You're a lucky man to be able to do with that many can only dream of.
He was torturing those bears!!!!
Joe Ulrich the what is the brown rifle with a large muzzle brake in the beginning that your or whom ever is using?
Good shot
Nice shootin' !!
I once shot a badger from 3ft with my Daisy Red Rider.
it wasn’t happy.
Who else saw that bullet traveling @1:48
Vapor trail... you should see a 50 cal vapor trail, it is cool.
At 8:20 as well. Pretty neat to see the trajectory of the bullet.
DMR Builder I did
I see it every shot
That second bear was it the first one you didn’t kill
And after reading some of the comments it’s sad that some people are hating on your long range shots but don’t worry most are just UA-cam Warriors who like to Criticize others and have probably never shot at that distances or held a gun a day in there life’s so once again good shooting and great hunting
I'm sure there's a few people who can put up with that music.. the one thing I love about hunting is never hearing noise
If every long range shot was like 3:11 or 5:57 I would have no problem with long range hunting
Yeah same but u can't be ethically accurate at a range over 500 or so yards. And it's not like they couldn't have gotten closer
Great shooting, great hunting no.
I want to know who builds your rifles what action and calibers you’re running. They’re beautiful, nice work! 😎
Those look like browning hells canyons.....i got one in 6.5 creedmoor and ive killed 2 deer and a bear and dropped all 3
I Love the Hunt , but what i can See in this Video have nothing to do with Hunting . Its allmost TRY to kill in longrange
This video amazing as fuck!
488 yards head shot for movable target 9:38 Bam! not to mention preceded by 1498 yards...
What Sniper and scope are using?
good shot, long range
L14k+++
Good you video my friend... 👌👌
Is that really a thril?. Having them at 10 yards, that's a real thrill!!!.
The thrill of a hunt is being able to go on a great hunt. I've harvest black bear 3yd to 40yd is my longest shot. Deer is a different story up to 150yd elk in rifle season is 150yd to 500yd. So you must can shoot
Jesus what a bunch of haters. Great video Joe and keep taking those long shots.
For real tho no one said putting food in the freezer was a clean job when you have to hunt for it
YETIMAN GAMING amen to that one
Good long heshot👍👍
Man, give peace to those beasts!
One must ask, how many of these animals were never found?
I love hunting but if you shoot a animal at distances that can’t take them out then you either need a bigger gun or don’t need to be hunting.
If you are shooting over 500 to 700 yards it is no longer hunting, it is just shooting!
PETA has invaded the entire comment sector, The title of this video says it all. Why would you even click on it if you don’t like the content. Blows my mind
Hey thanks for the reply,oh don't get me wrong i ain't knocking anyone shooting a target at a 1000yds +,but surely your not going to sit there and tell me that shooting at a target is the same as a live animal?the target is not going to move but an animal might or a gust of wind could happen and at that distance my friend you and i both know by the time that bullet travels to that animal it ain't going to hit the same point which you aimed at which more than likely result in a wounded animal roaming about for hours,days or weeks,also by the time you pack up your kit,travel to where the animal was shot it would probably be long gone and finding it would be pretty difficult,in the end i probably just have more respect for my quarry!!
I agree to a point. Not that I care but I dont think shots should be taken over 800yds
shooting Dears oke this is food but why shooting bears? Is this also for meat? This is a nice and strong animal also you see that they mostly are not killed with one shot.
Washington state alone has an estimated 35,000 black bears, Oregon is about the same. Much more people should bear hunt. Overpopulation cause much more suffering, starvation, and disease.
because it's a challenge and fun?
Is this really legal to kill an animal in US ? Can’t believe my eyes.
Yes it's also for meat
@@3Mudbone1 I did not know that. That for the knowledge. Im not much into bear hunting as well still one of my fav animals
Thanks much Joe..
