“To tired to keep hiking, to cold to stop” classic western rifle hunt. Thanks for keeping it real. 👍
The real question everyone is wondering, “did Corey grab the shed antler on the way back out?”
Nice interview on backcountry podcast.
Ferda
Probably not, they go shed hunting around this time of year.
FOR CRYMONEY SAKES! DID ANYONE PICK UP THAT ELK SHED!!?
They better have grabbed that shed
I see a Llama in your future, you should name him "The Donnie Llama". Great bull!
The early bird gets the bull! Teamwork is where it's at. Kudos to John for all the great work!
“If we build a fire we’ll never leave”, “I’m to tired to keep hiking and to cold to stop” these are the quotes that just absolutely sum up mountain elk hunting for me. It’s tough but man it is awesome when it all comes together. All of the cold and tired just goes away when you’re in good company packing meat. Congrats you guys.
Enjoyed watching the llamas. Hey John, they can climb.😊
“Even better mannered than Donnie”, HA! Great hunt.
Love when the intro pic has an elk laying on the ground. Can’t wait
PERSISTENCE PREVAILS! Giant bull, Cory! Congrats! That one is earned!
What did the Llama see when he looked into the mirror? His spitting image!
My son told me one today: “Did you hear the rumour about butter? …I’d better not spread it.”
Great job guys. John is a rockstar. Could not be a more accurate statement.
There is nothing better than hunting with unselfish people. When the goal of the group is to see everyone be successful and doing what it takes to help everyone in that goal. Makes for the most memorable hunts.
These last few episodes motivated me to spend more time on the Jacobs Ladder machine at the gym. Loving the hardcore hunt!
New MTN OPS flavor “Llamanade”!
Dad joke “ I got a circumcised once as a baby, couldn’t walk for a year after”
True friendship between you and Donnie. Very selfless. Great episode.
I like how you guys say “you shoot, no you shoot”. Me and my brother both drew back on a bull that was at 35 yards raking his horns on a tree a few years ago and I said “on 3, you count”. He said “wa” and I let the arrow fly. I felt so bad. I couldn’t help it. He was still really happy that we killed him. And I woulda been really happy if he did the same. All he said was “you spot him, you got him”.
RMEF Strategy for Success - Invest in yourself and your health - go elk hunting every year....it is a life style.
Johnny the Lama gives that same adoring look at you as Donny does. Those lama’s were unbelievable.
You did it!! Awesome job Cory! Redemption from last years miss. Letting Donnie shoot last year, I knew you would get blessed another time, and the time was now!! Praise the Lord!
My son's birthday was during this episode he turned 6. Watching this series he got hooked because his birthday wish is to go Elk Hunting with Dad got me a Hunting partner for life thanks Elk101
That is what it's all about. Favorite episode so far.
Jon's an eagle eye, not only for video and photography but for spotting the bulls. Way to take one for the team in more ways than one!
John is definitely a rockstar. I wish we could’ve seen Donnie set up his rifle for back up. I’m glad you closed the deal on a great bull Corey.
Even my 10 month old daughter looks forward to Elk 101s new videos. She even tries to imitate the elk calls.
Wow. Thank God for friends with lama’s. John is a rock star.
John and the llamas are the stars in this episode....only way to go. These videos are very entertaining but I do think they tend to not dwell on the huge amount of work that takes place after the kill.
John you are the man. It pays to get up in the morning doesn't it .
The hero today is JOHN!
Corey you missed the shed! You walked right by it! Luckily camera man picked it up on camera for all of us to see! Congrats Corey that was an awesome shot! John was the VIP this time getting the llamas and coming back to get the elk packed out. Thats some steep terrain right there, that's what separates the boys from the men! Donnie thanks again for that dad joke! Spectacle! 🤣
Stud bull for sure!! No ground shrinkage on that one!
Such a selfless crew! Your attitudes make every season a joy to watch.
The highs and lows of elk hunting. You looked and sounded so defeated at the beginning of the episode, then to take such a nice bull really made all the hard work pay off. Congratulations!
Way to go John, serving the team & making use of the llamas!
Very nice bull Corey. Also nice to see Donnie let you go ahead and shoot it. Hunting is fun, but hunting with friends is even more fun. 4 arrows, 4 bullets, 8 bulls down. Thanks for the videos Elk 101 team!
John & Donnie are the definition of a great friends and those lama’s are real “life savers”😂. Awesome hunt, lights out shot on a dandy bull. That country is definitely nothing to joke about.
Good job John, you were the rockstar there. Good shot Corey, and nice selflessness Donnie.
It's always interesting to watch a true archery hunter become a rifle hunter. More time outdoors is what it is all about.
Brutal terrain guys...way to stick it out and grind through. The training and effort paid off big time. Hats off to John for putting in the extra miles to save the team...that's what's elk hunting is all about!
Harder the hunt the better the reward. Very inspiring.
Persistence paid off. Nice bull Corey, having those Lama’s pays off on this hunt.
Nothing like having friends to help with a heavy pack out. Team work makes the dream work
John is the man! Saved everybody a ton of work on the packout for sure. Great job on a nice bull as well. I hope you rescued that poor shed antler from the elements as well.
Great shot Corey. Life as a cameraman not as easy as it sounds.
A good team makes all the difference when you’re in steep country like that ! Beautiful mature bull.
Putting the llamas to work. Good job Johnny
These guys are awesome! I would say the hardest part of going hunting out west is finding the “Right” guys to go with. Selfless, encouraging, motivated, and willing to help each other is hard to find! I have that with my guys and it makes the hunt awesome regardless of the outcome! You guys are great!!
Give John a bonus. He's a goat. Donnie says a descent bull. Ha. That's a bull of a lifetime to most of us. Makes all that climbing worth while.
Congratulations Corey, but yeah john is definitely a rock star!
Hunting with Lama's has to be cool ... definitely on my bucket list
Congratulations Corey! Awesome Bull in that steep and rugged backcountry.
Amazing Hunt what a shot so proud of you Amazing Bull
I just borrowed that dad joke to help me wife laugh in a hard time... Thank you
Awesome bull, John was a rockstar and Donnie is a great friend.
Great shot Corey. That is the way to do it on a backcountry hunt. Llamas all the way.
That was well worth the wait!. Nice bull. Way to go John too for volunteering to go get the llamas.
You guys are true examples of dedication and elk-determination. Keep going, going, going until it gets done. Good job.
Congrats Corey! Way to go llamas! I've watched many episodes through Randy Newberg and others utilizing these llamas of Beau Batey. They are always awesome. Shout out to the cameraman for making the extra trip back to camp to get them!!
What a great team effort! Congrats Corey! John is a rockstar! Donny, way to be there with the snacks. That was clutch! Keep it going guys!
The ups and downs of hunting! What a shot! Congrats guys on bull. Meat on a stick cooked over fire!! Nothing better.
You guys do a great job chronicling the journey of elk hunting! Donnie's dad jokes are on point this yr!
Got to love it when your kids use your gear and you get to find out the hard way.
Dedication, patience, and persistence succeeds. This hunt has me itching for a back country trip.
Awesome hunt!! Very kind of Donnie to give first dibs to Corey!! Bravo! Awesome of John to go for the Llamas as well!! Hard work + great teamwork=Awesome show
way to end a great hunt! So glad the lamas got to be put to their intended use. Way to go Donnie for being there for backup
Love that you guys portray the rough side of hunting. So many videos only show the glory, love seeing you huff and puff up the mountains, gives a well rounded picture of what goes into the hunt.
I swear you could see the weight fall off you guys. Absolutely incredible country and you earned that fantastic bull! Persistence and great friendships generated a recipe for success! Congrats!!
The Donnie (Jonnie) Llama is very photogenic. Nothing like the taste of that first steak that is the freshest it can possibly be! That is most likely my favorite part about cutting up the elk. To the victor go the spoils!
Big bodied bull indeed! Thank goodness for John and the llamas-that was some steep terrain.
Great shot and great friends. Everyones pumped and excited yet the cameraman is like I will walk back to get the llamas. Go get your elk Corey. Well done!
Looks like Cory bent his trekking pole! Great, hard-earned bull guys!
Great shot. Those llamas paid their way on that pack out. Had my mouth watering cooking fresh steak over the fire. Nothing beats it.
The hard and exhausting experiences make the best memories.
Solid hard earned elk! Always good to have a good camera man to assist. Teams are the best way to do anything.
"Steep and Deep" that is the way to hunt elk and snowboard. Great hunt guys. Way to find the big bull.
Nice bull! Good to see John's face and he earns the brownie points on this hunt for going to get the llamas!
What a stud bull. Congratulations
What a great team effort! That's what the hunting ethic is all about. Friends helping out friends...
Congrats guys!
A well earned Bull. Way to go team Elk101!
Nice shot Corey! Elk had quite the tumble. Way to be ready just in case Donnie and way to be a 'Rockstar' John to go get the llamas.
Epic country to hunt in. I’ve been watching the beautiful country as much as the hunting. Love it.
Great bull. Serious country.. those llamas proved their worth. 👏👏👏
Congrats guys! "Too tired to keep hiking, but too cold to stop...classic hunting elk in the Rockies. John - you rock! What a great team effort. Thanks for sharing.
While John was hiking back up that hike up looked like hiking up the blade of a knife. Big time backcountry and big time pack animals ! You guys rock!
What a shot! Props to John for being a beast!
BRUTAL country!!! Been watching these almost every night with the wife through the ROKU. Really been enjoying these. Finally getting around to commenting on the videos.
Agree 100% with being high early is key for success
Awesome video! The rugged country, freshly-cooked elk, and trusty llamas instantly put me into an elk state of mind. Thanks Elk101!
Early bird gets the worm I guess. Great shot Corey! Congrats! Hope those llamas (and John ) get some good treats!
What a great looking bull! Pack llamas really payed having this trip.
Awesome hunt. All the hard work and sore body parts are worth it. John is a rock star. Love how you guys support each other and there is no selfishness in any of you. I would say that Corey may have been the one behind the rifle but that bull belongs to all of you.
Congrats on a great team effort in some big gnarly country. Thanks so much for sharing your passion of hunting and the outdoors. You guys are an inspiration to keep after it to achieve goals. Although the same physical challenges don't apply to hunting whitetails in the midwest where I live but the desire for a successful hunting season is the same. I've been fortunit enough to out west a few times and plan to continue as long as I can. I filled my first elk tag this past September on a Wyoming archery general tag. I shot a cow on the 4th day of a 5 day hunt. I was thrilled to death to say the least. My youngest daughter accompanied me on this hunt and made for some great memories. Thanks again for the inspiration and your voice for conservation.
Awesome bull. Very lucky to have a guy like John to go down off a mountain then climb back up it for the sake of the “team”.
John is a beast! And the llamas are awesome! Glad it all came together. Bet those backstraps were some of the tastiest you've ever eaten. You worked dang hard for them.
What A Bull! Tough hunt, way to get it done. John was a BEAST!
Nice job! Good cameraman helping out, way to go John
John’s putting in the extra work to make it all happen.
Llamas for the win. Nice shot, Corey!
Congrats on the nice six point bull. John’s a stud, Way to go the extra distance just for us viewers to see the content. It doesn’t matter who pulls the trigger in that instants. It’s a combined success on all parts you guys kick butt.
Never disappointed. Another amazing Bull👊🏼
