    12 days solo in the backcountry is a win in itself. Mental games play with you hard. Congrats on staying and grinding it out.

    This is by far my new favorite for hunting and fishing videos. The work you put into your channel is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

    I love how this hunt ranged from being between a sow and her cub, listening to a cat murder a deer, and being so bored you start naming the squirrels 😂 Great video, as always 👍.

  • @jonathonh517
    @jonathonh517 10 місяців тому +8

    Nothing like one on one with the wild bro. Having a companion is great but the feeling you get solo is on another level. Do it every year. So fulfilling.

  • @leelonc
    @leelonc 10 місяців тому +10

    12 days of solo hunting is quiet an accomplishment, a harvest would be the icing on the cake. Anyhow, awesome mental dedication and content.

  • @andrewleonard4490
    @andrewleonard4490 10 місяців тому +8

    You did a fantastic job of storytelling through video. I think everyone who watched the episodes appreciated them. What you accomplished out there took strength. Eventually patience kills. Good job, for what it's worth, I'm proud of you.

    I hunted the same buck for six years here in western Iowa named him "Top Hat". The last three years I watched as regressed but still remained the king. One cold December evening and I let the Knight muzzle loader and Barnes sabot put in some work and now Top Hat watches me write this from his perch on my wall. My point is you are not alone in your obsession and love of this great sport. Thanks very much for sharing.

    I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a hunting series more, that didn’t involve a kill, than your last two videos. Nice work, really, your interaction with the viewer is what makes these work.

    My brother in behalf of me and my family I Thanku for sharing this adventure u show the sheer emotion of when u were wet and cold and let me say 12 days proved a lot of within yourself as well brother.Strength,wisdom,and simply your sanity was all tested and u passed and yes I’m sure u had some down moments that were not seeing ,but at the end U prevailed and yes Boomer 6 evaded the arrow,but u learned so much about yourself as well.All in the name of the great man upstairs my friend.Until next time Thanku

    I've been hunting and fishing for 54 years I enjoy your videos almost as much as being in the field. Keep up the good work and never lose your passion for hunting, fishing, and just being in the outdoors. Remember this, with big game hunting the fun is over when you pull the trigger, all the rest is work. You may not bring an animal home every hunt but you're building a lifetime of memories so you can always look back in your mind and relive those wonderful days and nights in God's Creation. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the whole family.

    ok, I was getting so bored with all the archery-related youtube videos, however yours was different. The effort. The explanations and positive talk. The patience, and the way you seem to understand and respect nature impressed me to the point that I really wanted you to get your elk. Thanks for the video and for keeping it real. Good luck in 2024!

    Brother these were the first two videos I watched of yours. I really really liked them, you're intelligent, well spoken, you show the terrain and surroundings well, I really like the information tidbits on the screen and you just know what you're doing!! I will be going back and watching all your other vids. Great job homie 💪💪🤘🤘

    That is a tough season man....one spot hunting takes mental strength for sure! Really tough on the ground with movement and scent. I have had great success at a wallow but in a tree stand and even then usually only morning or afternoon and not both cause it takes a toll on a body to just sit. Appreciate you sharing!!

    Awesome adventure thanks for taking the time to video it for us. Couple of ideas for the future... take some 1 inch Gorilla duct tape along, wrap a couple feet around a leg of your tripod if you don't want to carry a small roll. It can be used to fix many things like the holes in your screen and tent fabric. Thanks again and way to gut it out.

    Try steaming a cup of rice and pack a can of gravy. Canned gravy. Looks like a Campbells soup can. You can use a can punch.
    Bring black pepper, dried onions, and dehydrated peas to add into it.

    Damn brother, was really rooting for you on this one 12 straight days is mental torture and I give you props! Keep it up man your doing great! I’m not sure when rut starts with elk but maybe that’s why he didn’t show up

    • @TheRaghorn
      @TheRaghorn 7 місяців тому

      It was just the opposite for him I am sure. he was fine except when he got wet and That will kill your spirits real quick, because if the temps suddenly drop, you could find yourself in a life and death situation. Alwasy take half a dozen large plastic heavy duty lawn bags in your pack, to store things inside of it needed and a small 5x8 tarp. Only on one of my solo hunts I got wet, just like him, and I said never again.

  • @jakeoly5109

    Great quality video, I think you did an awesome job with this hunt, hunting archery solo is unspeakably hard. You gave yourself a really good chance if he would have come in. It's about the only way it could have happened. Keep at it, you will win in the end. Jay from Pa.

    Good closing and description of your 2024 hunt. Your dedication to the sport and documenting activity makes you a top guy in my book. I'm 66 and a boomer makes me laugh how you named him, Maybe you can get over to Wyoming and get wet and discouraged like most solo hunters and yell at the motorized assault vehicles used in the woods .Last year the motors started at4 am to warm up then haul ass everywhere by 6 am everyone and all animals are gone . but the animals are trotting away and high up till the snows of November. Are you going to make any scouting trips this summer and film them . I like your videos see ya.

    You need to upgrade to a hot tent set up. When the weather is miserably cold, wet and windy... the best escape to recharge and dry off is to spend a half a day a tent with a raging fire in a stove to warm up and dry everything out.

  • @JohnShepherdMusic
    @JohnShepherdMusic 10 місяців тому

    Great video! I grew up camping in Canada and the BWCA. Hanging your food bag that close to the trunk of the tree may help for rodents but it will not prevent a bear from ripping it down. 12 days soloing will cleanse the soul.

    Brother, what a great video. I’ve lived everything you went through and more. Thanks for your hard work and educational content. It may be hard for you to imagine, but I got to a point when I just liked them more alive than I did their backstraps on my charcoal. Which, as I type this, sounds completely impossible. Regardless, legaly hunting is among the purest kind of living.

    • @layeronebyshadowcarry
      @layeronebyshadowcarry 8 місяців тому

      I forgot to add, that hanging your food bag on a branch that extends much further out from the trunk of the tree may be something you might like to consider mainly because Bears are so good at climbing up trunks, but hesitant to crawl out on weaker limbs.
