    Randy, you are one of THE best people in the outdoor industry. You are real. You get what hunting is REALLY about, the experiences we have, the TIME spent with friends and loved ones, the challenge of pitting yourself against the animals, the journey, the meat...the sustenance...a trophy to you is not always about the biggest bull or buck. You are NOT about the sponsors, and the 'look at me'...you have THE HIGHEST amount of respect from me, and I think from everyone who watches you and knows who you are as a person, as a hunter. You are so ethical and honest. You are NOT a commercial for pushing products, and that burns me quick when people do that...and I have quit watching so many people's shows for that reason. You are a real hunter, a great person...and you set the standards for what we, as hunters should be...and how we should look at hunting. It is a way of life, a form of sustenance gathering that human beings HAD to do before this animal factory crap started. You live your life and hunt the way we as hunters, and as human beings should look at and also base our lives off of. Thank you for staying true, and doing it right Randy...one of the top guys in the industry for sure. Thank you sir for being such a great ambassador of our way of life. You have so much respect and admiration from me, and I thank you for your outlook and the shows you produce...thank you Randy, truly one of the best. Keep up the great work, you make me happy watching you...and you have a fan for life. Honestly one of the best out there. Thank you sir!

      Thank you, Rick. That is very nice of you to write that comment. We turn down a lot of sponsorship opportunities due to it not being gear we think will work for our style of hunting or there are requests that we dumb down our show by pimping product. Just not our style. Our audience is the serious hunter and they don't want to be insulted with the ridiculous product pimping. It costs us money to approach it this way, but it is what we stick to.
      I am lucky to have some great people supporting me at home, and in this endeavor. Without them, none of it would be possible and our message would not be what you see.
      Thanks for watching.

    I have learned over the years to keep a sleeping that rolls up small about the size of a quart bottle of Pepsi with 2 large garbage bags commercial grade. I have spent many nights this way. It did save me one time when I blew my knee out in Colorado. 3-4lbs in a day pack saved my life.

    Absolutely my favorite hunter to watch , Randy is a true hunter , I seen it in his eyes when that first cow elk came onto him at the first of this hunt , and he let down as the true hunter he is always thinking the situation over when it comes to keeping the meat safe with no spoilage , Kudos to Randy , I've never laid eyes on an elk before but I will someday till then I'll keep watching Randy.

    I just love your videos, and this is one of your best. I first started watching for information, because I didn't grow up hunting. Your gutless method video was all I had to go on when I finally got a blacktail deer. I probably watched that video 50 times, and when I walked up to my first kill, I knew exactly what to do, thanks to you and the care you put into your videos. I know you're extremely busy, and so I appreciate the way you find time to respond to those who comment. I also appreciate your emphasis on the ethics of respecting private land.
    Regarding the open bivouac, I once did this in April in Washington state, half way up a wall back in my rock climbing days. No thanks, never again. Obviously I survived but I was an absolute mess the next day, having shivered all night and lacking enough water to stay hydrated.

  • @raztuss
    @raztuss 7 років тому

    That is a great idea, Have to say I agree, public lands where I live are locked in by the logging companies, Green Diamond ($250.00 for season), Weyerhaeuser (bids start at $3,500.00) AND SOLD OUT IN 3 MINUTES,,,, and a few others DO THE BID STARTING AT $5,000.00 +. These logging companies charge an arm and leg to gain access to the public land that is "locked in" by their "land". It's getting harder and harder to find a place to hunt in Washington. I can't afford either guided or "logging charge permits", might just have to get "inventive" like you did. Great Vid, thanks for sharing. :)

I also seen were the state of Utah is trying to do a "land grab" below radar from the Paiute Nation in their state and got BUSTED. Crazy.

    • @rickm2647
      @rickm2647 7 років тому

      Christian Velasquez I have been shooting for about 30 years. And I will say this: Go to a pro shop that will take their time, one on one with you and set you up and FIT the bow to you. The brand is not as important as the feel and qualities of the bow. So many manufacturers make excellent bows these days. Shoot as many bows as you possibly can. The bow will PICK YOU. But you should shoot as many brands as you can. You will find your bow. In my opinion, Hoyt, Elite, and Prime are making the top three in the world right now...but PSE, Mathews, Bear, Obsession, and Xpedition, are all great bows too. Bowtech bows shoot and feel awesome, but they have been having issues with limbs blowing out for about eight years now, and cannot seem to get it figured out, so I would look at other companies. The last thing a new archer needs to do, is have that worry in their head that at any time their limbs could let loose.
      Just find a shop that will take the time to fit you, and set a lot of bows up for you to shoot. If they won't do this, go somewhere else. SO MANY shops will push you into what ever bow brand they sell, and try to just sell you a bow and push you out the door, and they will not help you down the road. There are A LOT of archery shops that will take the time to fit you properly, let you shoot lots of bows, and help you even after the sale. So I would find a great pro shop as your first priority, THEN start shooting different bows. The brand is not important...if a company is in business, they are making great bows. Just don't buy into the the 'Mathews are the best, everything else is junk' crap that a lot of people will try. I just used Mathews as an example because that is how it is around here...their shooters are so arrogant and look down on anyone shooting anything else, when in my opinion...they are not even in the top five. They are great bows though, don't get me wrong...I guess my point is get the bow that feels the best to YOU, and the bow that YOU SHOOT the best. The brand name on the bow is not what is important. Good luck and let the bow pick you. Look really hard at Elite, they have a GREAT valley, and a high let off and solid back wall. Their bows are just SO EASY to shoot. But again, shoot every brand you can get your hands on...for me, I own Hoyt's, Elite's, and Prime's. To you, other bows may be better fit...but do yourself a huge favor, shoot all the bows you can, and the bow will pick you.

    • @rickm2647
      @rickm2647 7 років тому

      Christian Velasquez
      One thing I forgot to mention, that kinda goes along with fit...and is just as important, get a bow that is not too stiff on the draw weight for you. Get a lighter draw weight bow and start there. That way you can concentrate on your form and fundamentals, and you are not struggling and fighting the bow. You want to let the bow shoot the shot, you just 'guide' it...and you cannot do that if you are fighting the bow. Another good idea would be to get a good archery coach. I would teach you for free if you happen to be in Ohio...good luck.

    I researched this idea 20 years ago in Montana and at that time it was illegal to access private land locked BLM by aircraft and or access by crossing from BLM to BLM section by crossing at a corner section. My opinion is that those laws are horse shit good ol boy rancher laws but that's what is was back then. Has the law changed?

    • @Fresh_Tracks
      @Fresh_Tracks  8 років тому +1

      +TUCOtheratt - Not sure what the flying laws were 20 years ago, but now, you can fly into BLM land, so long as you land on an established two-track. US Forest Service restricts you to developed air strips with any form of aircraft. Crossing at the corners is still in legal limbo.

      @crazymountain777 6 років тому +1

      Blayne MacPherson I shot an elk during archery season in Montana. It was right by a fence and I didn't have permission on the other side.
      Right when I shot he launched himself over the fence and went about 40 yards before dying.
      Fortunately there was a good blood trail and tracks showing where he had come from.
      I knew it would take a few hours to go ask the landowners for permission to retrieve it so I did cross over and tag it and cleaned it out, because it was warm enough I didn't want any spoilage. Even if after I asked them, had they said no, at least I wouldn't be responsible for letting a lot of good meat go to waste. So I went out and told them what had happened and they said no problem, go get it.
      And they let me take a 4 wheeler up logging roads on their land where I got within 100 yds of the elk!
      So if it happens just be as ethical as you can and it should all be ok. Obviously depends on the landowner though. Treat them respectfully and give them some elk steaks!

      taylor vol you’re a moron. Go to your butcher and buy a steak. Hang in a tree for 6 days during the summer. BBQ that bad boy on the seventh day and let me know how it tastes. Learn to respect the animals you hunt. If you’re going to kill it so it can turn green, stay home and play your video games instead.
