Tyler and Lenny have finally caught the break they've been looking for, and with Tyler on the calls and Lenny set up in front, a giant 7x7 bull is within bow range.
And TEAM ELK101 has made a bold move that looks like it might just pay off. Donnie is literally surrounded by bulls, and Corey is scrambling to bring one of them in close enough for a shot.
An elk is shot and a tag is filled in this Episode. Who is on the board tonight???

The cameramen are amazing. Not only do they film this whole series for us, but they do calling, raking, packing, who-knows-what-else. Great job, guys!
Absolutely agree!
Wow this let’s you know how much you appreciate those cameramen! Great footage from all the teams!
Corey and Donnie’s friendship is something we all look for in not just the backcountry, but in life!
This video really shows how good friends Cory and Donnie are. It’s really special to watch!
Amazing episode! Can't wait for the next one
Wow. Finding him in a lake! Lucky he was close to the shore! Enjoying the show. Well done!
It is pretty amazing to watch the emotion and skill Cory Ford uses trying to call in a bull. I am learning from him!
I really appreciate that these hunt videos do not have recreates of the shots, nor a bunch of annoying music making the hunt unrealistic. It’s real, and that’s part of what makes it so fun to watch. Keep up the good work, and thank you sponsors for being willing to support something different from 95% of the rest of the shows out there
Agree 100%
Corey always walks ahead of Donnie like a mad dad that his son can’t keep up😂
Cory & Donnie look bone tired after that unique experience and Donnie was lucky his eye wasn't worse than it was! The camera man saves the day again toting that heavy pack! Those elevation guys just are so upbeat, love it when Lenny gets the giggles! Cory Ford is a very patient hunter, especially having to hunt in the jungle. Great episode gents, can't wait for next week!!!
Nothing beats a good ole tree banging session! It's the best way to get frustration out during a tough hunt, and sometimes, it even brings in elk.
Donnie exhibited a lot of patience there. to have the tough early days and then walk into a meadow with a bull feeding and the patience to not blow it up is a testament to the value of what we can learn from the day by day series.
I was so stoked to watch this episode. It didn’t disappoint. Donnie didn’t disappoint with his dad jokes either.
Awesome episode!!!! I'm amazed that the 2 bigger bulls weren't interested in Cory's cow calls but that smaller bull came right in!!!! He was like "hey ladies!!! Can I buy you a flake of alphalpha"??? 🤣
Thank you to all who are a part of this series and who makes it possible for all to enjoy 😉
Classic Attire!😂😂😂 Donnie you Rock!!!! 1:30 am! You guys are my hero’s! Thanks for quality elk videos!
Awesome job Donnie!! Heck of a good shot and pack out you all had. Those late night packs are the best memories made
A truly incredible friendship between Donnie and Corey. Not easy finding someone like that. Best series yet.
This season has been absolutely incredible. Not only because of all the crazy awesome encounters caught on video, but each Team has shown tremendous persistence and perseverance given their respective hunts and challenges they've faced. We are all grateful for you guys sharing your experiences and adventures with us. Lastly I'd like to salute the ethics shown by Mark and now Donnie. Donnie could have slung an arrow at that big ole 6 point that came out, but he mentioned he was just out of his personal comfort range for taking that shot. The most underrated part of this episode. Thank you Donnie for showing great restraint and demonstrating elite hunter ethics for the majestic and beloved animals we all chase every elk hunting season. A salute and all respect to you Sir.
It was a great episode. Really appreciate the camera guys and editors! Amazing work they all do! Congratulations Elk101. Just goes to show don’t waste time. Daylights Burning! 😃
I agree. These are the best, most instructional, fun and well filmed hunts out there!
I was waiting for Donnie and Cory to pull the elk out of the middle of a lake! They are lucky that they found it as close to the edge as it was. I didn't know about the slobber from a sick elk until now, thanks for sharing. Great Job Guys!
This episode was one of the best I’ve ever seen from you guys! It showed all aspects of elk hunting in one episode perfectly. First starting off with angry spike and seeing a bulging bull just staying out of range but acting fired up, not to mention seeing the little grunts and pants was awesome, it’s one of the tactics I use the most and elk can’t handle it. Then seeing pure elevation really showed how having a good hunting partner makes persevering a tough hunt that much easier, and what a big bull they got into. Then seeing you and Donnie changing up plans and it all coming together, wish Donnie would have been able to get that big wide 6 but hey you take the opportunities you get! Amazing episode!
The kiddos are loud and rowdy watching TV with mom. This episode dropping right now is the perfect time for dad to sneak back to the room for some bugles!
Well done guys!! Tough hunt hell of a job tagging out!
Just what the doctor ordered, thank you guys for another great season
This is one of the best yet! Even if Donnie went from 1st day Donnie to last day Donnie! LOL! Sorry Donnie, I couldn't resist! Seriously though, this is one of the best if not the best episode for me for many reasons. I was on edge from the time you guys got on the bulls until you got back to camp. The excitement just kept building. Had me on the edge of my chair and laughing at times too. It was almost like I was there tracking with you guys! I could go on and on! Great job getting the shot, tracking, etc. Awesome job all the way around! Congratulations on a great season. Keep it up!
Wow what an episode!! Big bulls and great tracking job!! First day Donnie to almost last day Donnie
It is so surreal to see the partnership and brotherhood of Corey and Donnie. Tagging out or not, a partnership like this irreplaceable.
Thank you teams and sponsors for making this happen! We are learning a lot of great tips!
I’ve been waiting for this since the first trailer! Thank you for putting all of this content out there for us to watch and learn from.
Lenny and Tyler are a hoot !! They help make up for Randy's absence. Really enjoy hiking the landscape with them, bad luck and all.
Love the determination from Corey to help Donnie get his bull. I do know what it is like extracting a deer from a lake. I had to wade in for it. At least y'all are smart enough to use a rope and lasso it.
I love seeing the emotion swings that I’ve experienced on my own hunts. When Cory and Donnie were hiking when they heard the first bugle. Just before they heard it Donnie was really visibly dragging, just drained. He heard the bugle and that burst of energy and speed. I love that feeling and I’ve felt it so many times. Great job capturing those moments and feelings. Thanks ELK101 and crew and sponsors!
So excited for this Episode! You’ve teasing me for months…. So awesome, can’t wait to see it all come together!
Way to go Donnie, it takes a good hunter to turn down a shot that's just outside of his comfort zone. Better to pass up a shot to have a chance later than to injure the bull. A thank you to Donnie, Corey, the guys behind the camera, the sponsors, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Yetti, Mountain Ops, and Peax for producing such great hunts. As a beginner elk hunter, the University of Elk Hunting has helped me a lot. Keep up the good work.
Congrats Donnie! An extra long day after a hard week of hunting. Persistence is what hunting is all about. Great job guys 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
I can only imagine the relief after not only shooting your bull Donnie, but mostly, finding him at the end of a hard trailing job. Well done guys! Way to persevere!
Congrats on a great and a memorable recovery. Thanks for the details on both the hunt and the recovery.
Go Donnie, 😅 what a place to find em. Great recovery guys.
Awesome encounter. Enjoying the series. Really shows the ups/downs of elk hunting
What a awesome episode !!!!! Congrats to Donnie for turning elk hunting into a water sport....lol
That was the best episode yet. I was so excited when I saw those two bulls, then when the third bull came running out! Mind blown. I can't wait to experience that. Congrats on your bull Donnie! 👏
A fantastic exclamation point ending as you changed spots, following your wise advice when nothing is happening. Died laughing about attire, or is it a tire! Have been in Boise watching our grandson play in the HS State BB tourney. Glad to finally get to see this episode. Nice...! Thanks and best...dale
Great episode! Learned something new with the slobbering and fever. Always love when it comes together when you don’t think it’s going to happen.
Congratulations Donnie. Awesome video as always. Just goes to show that you can't get in a stuck in the same rut but be ready to change up something to make it happen. From every successful elk hunter always say be ready to move spots.
I love watching all the different teams hunting. Seeing their successes and failures. Feels like you’re right there with them. Awesome job!!!!
Great job guys, Donny didn’t disappoint on the dad jokes.
Thank you for the great explanation on the tracking info on Donnie's elk. Even well placed arrows don't always leave good blood trails to follow. You just gave me one more tool for the chest in following the slobber, marking your trail and seeing what land marks are coming up(lake). Great work in relaying that information I really enjoy the break down of the hunts and the strategy for success.
Donnie made it out of the woods without getting sick or injured - WOW 😄
By far the best episode of the season. Had me on the edge of my seat for the entire episode.
That was an amazing episode. I feel for Cory and how frustrating bulls staying just out of range. Then Tyler and Lenny finally seeing something. Best of all watching Donnie get his bull. Never seen anyone having to pull an elk from a lake. Was so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Nice hunt. Fun having three bulls right there and interacting with you. Gets me excited for season.
What a tough hunt, my Buddy shot a cow elk that we tracked and ended up killing it in the river. He did get wet retrieving it. We got it to the edge of the river and tied it off. We were only a few miles from my house and being it had died in the Watershed area, we contacted them and they had additional help along with the Game Warden. The Game Warden gutted and halved the elk, the Watershed people,Warden and I packed it 100 yards or so to there trucks then drove out and backed up to my truck and transferred it, then home we went. My buddy didn’t even have to help at all. We did prove that it was shot outside of the Watershed so all was Ok. Easiest elk pack out we ever had.
The soundscapes and blocks of silence (no human noises, at least) are spectacular. I applaud the editing staff for not filling the gaps with music or mindless rambling. Awesome.
I like that you took the elk that was available. There were two bigger ones but this one gave you the best opportunity. I would have done the same.
Congrats Donny!!! That bull was definitely a team effort.
It keeps breaking my heart that Corey keeps getting into elk and they just don’t want to play ball. I have a lucky feeling that team pure elevation is going to get in to something. I was waiting for the same 5 point that they called in three times to show up 🤣
Great Job, Congratulations to you Donnie, but huge shout out to Team Angry Spike, I don’t know how you guys can get an arrow through that jungle you guys hunt in without it hitting a branch it just amazes me….Great job by all.
This episode was PACKED! Loves every second of it.
So much Elk packed action in this years videos! The encounters and stories are awesome! Thanks for sharing with all of us!!
Wow that was incredible. 3 different bulls then have it die in the lake. Great job you guys earned it
Man, that was such an epic stalk by Cory. So much action. A real bummer he wasn't able to pull him in.
Also, if you haven't done Elk 101, I recommend it. You'll understand Donnie and Corey's setups so much more and will learn even more by watching them in action.
I'm always impressed with how Donnie handles himself when a surprise bull comes along. He's quick and witty and always seems to make a good shot. Also I love the strategy for success because that is something I think any hunter should know so that they can apply that for that rare instance when it happens.
Great bull Donnie. The congratulatory hug with your best friend is the greatest feeling in the world.
What great episode from Angry Spike team chasing their bull to Donnie’s shot and recovery. Looking forward to the last episode.
I love that Donnie and most the other teams are not just trophy hunters. But they are taking good opportunities on branch bulls when the right opportunity arises! Any elk with a bow is a trophy in a public hunt area! Congrats Donnie!
Awesome episode. Congratulations Donnie on getting it done and showing how persistence pays off. GREAT JOB on the tracking job to the team. Thats the way it is done never give up till the end. Amazing job and learned a bit on the slobber trail. Learning something new every year. Thank You to all the sponsors that help keep this going for all of us to enjoy and learn. EVERYONE please support the sponsors, so they keep supporting what we love. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work all.
The video shows the hardship of the hunts but the commentary and story is what friends can relive for years. Thanks for sharing your stories true teamwork! Congratulations on tagging out.
More and more excitement with every episode. Drawing us in, more and more. Always grateful for letting us come along on your hunts, adventures, and joys of such great friendships. 👍
I'm so impressed by your teamwork. I can see why you enjoy hunting together. Even more impressive was watching you be happy about the harvest and not so upset that the big one got away. True Sportsman hunting for the right reasons. Thanks guys! What a series....
My wife and I have watched every episode and learned so much. This season is totally different from last year. All of the groups seem to be hunting much slower.
Thank you guys for the helpful tips and tactics.
I know the feeling of waiting so long to hear a bugle and finally getting that opertunity
Congratulations Donnie. Really enjoy the series
Really appreciated the editing where I saw Corey starting to call and then while you can still hear it, the camera shifted to Donnie out front. Sometimes while watching the hunt I hear a bugle and can’t really tell if it’s the partner calling or a real elk. Great job! Never have seen that technique before. I would love to see that continue in future episodes and also with the other hunting groups. Great idea that I think really adds to the unbelievable camera work and editing. Also want to thank all of the sponsors who make this show possible. By far the best hunting show out there. Thanks again for allowing us to tag along!
This was some edge of your seat viewing! Especially Donnie's bull. My jaw about hit the floor when the second bull popped up, and again when the other bull came running. So cool.
Man what an amazing episode! Way to go Donnie. How exciting for so many bulls. Thanks again for all the work yall put it.
Wow! Finally made it to the water retrieval. What a great episode! Kudos to Donnie for holding off on that quartering to shot on the bigger bull. Quickly went from a so close yet so far encounter to shot launched. Thanks to everyone involved.
So happy for Donnie successfully harvesting another Archery Elk and Corey and Donnie’s team getting their tags filled on the last day. Love hearing about the last day decision to switch hunt areas …. This and many other learnings throughout the season will have its impact on my 2023 Elk season. Thanks!
I remember that dad joke! I been watching from day one, even though I’m not a bow hunter I appreciate this show very much. From episode and onward I’ve always learnt something. So for that and the awesome content and entertainment thank you guys. Glad Donnie got it done! Really hoping the next two teams can get it done. Sorry fallen so far behind but trying to catch up. And those Roosevelts sure are something, the sound that bull makes is just insane. Look forward to the rest of the season. Stay safe and thanks again.
“We’ll find another one.” That’s the mindset you gotta have. Beautiful.
I found myself being quiet and holding my breath as I was watching those bulls coming in. Nice work Donnie.
What a wild hunt, one extreme to the other. Crickets to a rut fest and recovery in a lake. Congrats Donnie!
I was amazed at the number of bulls that Corey and Donnie had coming in. It seemed like an endless stream of them! Donnie showed the an unbelievable amount of control when those first couple came out and were just a few yards beyond his comfort zone. It had to be an extremely tough thing to do and a tip of the hat to Donnie! Great tracking job on that bull too! Loved the tip of the week about looking for slobber when tracking! Just one of the tricks that have been shared the so many of us new elk hunters would have never known to do! Thank you falls way too short of fully expressing my appreciation to all of the folks that put this togerher.
Last day Donnie comes thru. Congrats guys well done.
The Patience of a Saint wow just one of those wishing for a rifle kinda of events so awesome
That track job was a serious adventure!!
Four dad jokes, incredible footage and a lake recovery. Best episode yet.
I learned a lot on this episode, especially that we have only so much time to hunt, when you go from the first day thinking you have a couple of weeks, to the day before the last day, or the last day to hunt. Being aggressive everyday with every tactic you know can help you succeed. I always second guess myself on ideas, or tactics, but it's the worse doing it after the season is over and knowing that you have over 300 days to try again. I appreciate all the nuggets I'm getting from these episodes, thank you so much.
My 94-yr old Grandma watches these episodes with me and she really gets into them. If there’s an elk in the scene she whispers when she talks, its a memory I’ll keep forever. Episode 14 was a nail-biter for her. Love it! Shoot ‘‘em Cook ‘em!
You guys are awesome! Bummed out that we're almost done with v5 already, but thank you! It's been so good
Probably one of the coolest shows and the hard work paid off. Congratulations Donny and you guys had to work for that one. Getting it out of the lake in the dark is definitely a once in a lifetime thing
Thanks for the tracking lesson. Corey and Donnie really show how working together brings success.
As a 50 year old it's great seeing a couple of veteran young guys getting it done. Congratulations Donnie and Corey!
Now that’s how you cool that meat as fast as possible. Nice Work fellas.
What a show. Great bulls! Lots of fun.
Definitely give props to all 3 cameramen in this video. From packing out elk, to raking trees and keeping up with the Hunter like Cory Ford who was moving fast and more.
Congratulations to Team Elk101 on their successful elk hunting 🏹 and elk fishing 🎣 trip in this latest episode. 😃
Lots of great information!! Loved all the things about the tracking and the Struggle Is Real!
Great series as always, and doesn’t help making September get here any sooner! Glad to see Donnie was able to fill his tag! Thank you and the rest of the teams for sharing your seasons with us.
You guys have really encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and hunt new areas, even new states. Although its been rough, I've learned so much. Thank you!
This is what hunting should be all about for everyone! Just hunting with your closest friends and not going for the biggest and best. Just going to have a great time. That time in the meadow with 3 shooter bulls within distance was so epic. That’s something every Hunter wants to find themselves in the middle of. So awesome. Thank you for the great inspiration and dad jokes!
Nice work Donnie! Patience pays off! Thank you guys for showing real life in the elk woods & picking the right opportunity for success! Great sportsmanship & example!
You can really feel the tension in the moment leading up to Donnie's shot! Absolutely amazing video!
Attire!!! I like that one. Got a chuckle out of me!
