I’m not sure if you’re aware so forgive me if you do. But hunters in Utah agreed to let younger bulls live in order to let them mature further. Good for the population and makes for larger trophies for the hunters.
ThePopeOfDope well sure, but in general the purpose is to let the animal pass on their genes before killing them. I praised him for respecting this rule, most people take any lucky shot they can get.
@@ThePopeOfAllDope actually it works against the natural selection and ruins the quality of animal population. Alpha male is usually the biggest bull with top genetics. So by taking him out you let the inferior bulls to mate the cows which results in lower quality calves. Doing it year after year it is possible to make whole population degrading. While younger bulls usually taste better. But every hunter wants to pet his fkin ego and trying to get the biggest animal.
Yeah kill the genetically superior bulls (Who managed to grow huge) and pat themselves on the back by saying it's old? Way to destroy the gene pools of animals
Brother, I've been listening to you and Joe on his podcast the last couple of days and I'm more than inspired!! I'll be 43 this year and have battled addiction on all levels. I'm also a felon so rifle hunting is out of the picture. I picked up a PSE stinger X five years ago and was hooked. I've drawn tags here in Wyoming but have never gone. I got lost in my addiction about 4 years ago and lost everything again... Bow included, but I recently surpassed 3 years of sobriety and have also quit smoking 4 months ago. I've started to build a gym in my garage and workout with my son... I want to live a healthier lifestyle and want to be able to trek up the mountain and be able to pack an elk out if I'm lucky enough to fill a tag. I won't be in shape for it this year, and I won't have my bow out of layaway until later this year, but next September I'm hammering the Bighorns. You've been a major inspiration and I want to thank you!!! I'm going to be spending the next year conditioning for the hunt. Man, thank you and Joe Rogan for the inspiration!!! The fire has been lit under my ass!!! Much appreciated!!!
@Boxing 101 I'll patiently wait for said video. "Hard' is a relative term, my friend. If you legitimately shoot/practice every day I would hope it's not difficult for you. I used to watch golf with my dad on TV, and the pros make hitting a golf ball look super easy...until you go and try it yourself and realize that it takes a true mastery of the art to make it look easy. Kudos to you if you have mastered your art - that type of dedication and skill is noteworthy. But if you don't post the video, then you are just another blowhard on the internet, talking shit about a true pro for no other reason than to be an asshole. I sincerely hope you aren't that big of an asshole...
@Boxing 101 tough guy alert lmao, anyone can sit in their yard and shoot at a blank target and eventually get to shooting 70 consistently. Try doing what Cam just did when you add all the other hurdles, timing and elements standing on the side of a mountain.
Boxing 101 so you target shoot a LOT 🤷🏼♂️. I doubt you’ve ever hunted. There is a huge difference. Blind over a tree with adrenaline just after blasting a beast. You’re ridiculous. Please don’t hunt, you’ll just wound animals with shank shots.

John D I bought myself a bear G2 Cruzer, some other gear and I’ve been looking for someone that wants to go with me. I plan on turkey hunting first and moving my way up to mule deer.
@@prestondunn1991 I’m 27 getting into hunting also without knowing anybody or being taught anything but I can’t wait until the day I can finally go out there and experience it
"Merciful kill" I love that phrase. You waited, got close and even took a second shot within seconds. Too many videos on UA-cam expose hunters as narcissists. I have seen hunters shoot at the stomach. Shoot at an oblique angle. Shoot at over a hundred yards. Lay back and take their time while the animal slowly bled.
Right. I’m all for hunting but at least make it as quick as you can for the animal out of respect. Most people won’t starve to death if they miss a chance cuz they didn’t have a clean shot
@@hugedickerinokripperino5299 Theres pretty much no suffering free way for an animal to die in the wild, even if they have no predators they'll freeze, starve or die of illnesses.
Best shot I have ever seen taken on am animal. Also, best follow up shot I have ever seen taken on an animal. Cameron, your hard work pays off. Congratulations and thank you for representing hunters the way you do.
I can't begin to express how moving your journey is and has been, finished your audio book "endure" i was moved to tears and got the chills so many times. In so many ways i can relate to the continued search for soul searching but your story really makes me realize that although i thought i am a hard mother F your words makes me realize i still have so much more to give.

Cam and Goggins are my biggest inspirations. Ran my first trail marathon last year because of these guys. Hiking in elk country is so much easier being a trail runner all year long.
Its now time to say.........Im a hunter and go for it ! Its a Very rewarding experience , knowing you worked for and harvest your own meat , then processed it . Then you get to have the memories of a Lifetime of your hunts to cap it all off ! I hunted with my Father , Grandfather , and my Uncles and Cousins . I am blessed to have the memories of all the fantastic Hunts i went on with all of them . Thank God i do have that , becasuse most of my blood family have all passed on now . But now that i have remarried i have 5 stepsons to teach all i know about my trades and skills in life i have learned to them . They are all filipinos and have Never had the oppotunities we grew up having as Americans . i cant wait to teach them Camping , Hunting , Fishing , how to fly a plane , andhow to do hand woodworking , detail woodworking and timber framing . It will be a great Cap to my Lifes experiences and knowledge i pass on to them .
watching your videos for the first time, after listening to you talk to me about your life story on audible for my 20km daily runs for the past 3 weeks. thank you for being an inspiration!
Just like everyone else has stated here, this is by FAR the very very BEST hunt and video I've EVER seen. Magnificent shot and an unreal second shot to boot. This filming here was no less than world class! Obviously your conditioning figures into the equation as well as constant practice. Once again, WELL, WELL DONE!!!! And congratulations on a superb bull!
Jon he does 200 mike races and 24 hour races. I think he ran 108miles in 24 hours. I can’t remember what his result was for the Bigfoot 200. I think 78 hours.
Cam hanes is definitely crazy determined.... have you guys ever heard of David Goggins he is another ultra runner / navy seal/ ext... he is worth checking in to some off his accomplishments
Never been hunting & know nothing about it but loved every second of this video. The storytelling, the cinematography, the audio, all perfect! Incredible film 👏🏼
This is a strange experience for me to watch. I'm not a hunter but I'm not against it, providing it's not wasted. I enjoyed your philosophy regarding mercifully killing. I remember ringing my first birds neck and my Dad saying you don't want to hurt it, so you need to make sure you kill it. Same thing I guess. Bow hunting is illegal in the UK, not sure it is any less lethal watching this. Thanks for sharing and educating me. All the best.
I would not comment except to say. There is nothing more primal than the feeling you get when you come to full draw on a animal. It feels right and we bow hunters I believe respect the animals more because it is so hard. To bad it is illegal to bow hunt in UK. But nothing is stopping you from hunting other countries. Good luck sir😊
@@Rainersherwood . I agree with everything you say except the first sentence. We are safer here because of those laws and so is the wildlife. Far too many idiots here to have people running around wounding but not killing what they would see as 'sport'. Not enough knowledge in regard to butchering the meat so it would't be eaten. My concern generally would be losing sight of an animal after it's hit and leaving it to die slowly. The guys in this video obviously know what they're doing but until I saw the end result I was thinking they needed a dog with them just to be sure. Glad it ended well.
@@Rainersherwood Totally agree. You can hunt deer, just not with a bow. The justification is that they are less lethal!?! That is not what this video shows. The way I see it is a poorly prepared hunter could just as likely make a poor shot with a rifle as they could with a bow. I love archery and maybe I'll go over to the Scandinavian mainland to explore the idea of elk hunting. Unfortunately it will be a long while as all bow hunting is illegal in the UK, so will have to get some more basic experience abroad first. All the best.
@@martintaylor4620 I think you touch on a significant point. Most people in the UK don't even realise you can hunt here. The hunting community has been demonised, and as a result the meat goes to waste. Growing up in a rural area, game was always available but as time went by hunters couldn't give it away. As a result we have lost a lot of basic skills. I have a kid and one on the way, my wife doesn't want chickens to breed and slaughter. I want my children to respect where their meat comes from just as much as their fruit and vegetables. Meanwhile other people are eating stuff they have no idea if it's safe or ethical.
That is one of the most beautiful animals I've ever seen. Also the double tap was trippy as hell too. The reaction of the animal going through the brush and the follow up shot. He is a true master.
I've been pumped for this one. Cam is my inspiration to bow hunt. I'm 19 and this is my first year trying it and I've fell in love with it. Thanks Cam.

He’s right, this is inspiring for sure. Cam is a mentor, I think Roy is smiling happy somewhere.Thanks for sharing something so personal and vulnerable, I too have a dream to feel that good weight upon my shoulders.
Cam I know this was from a while ago and I have watched this video when I need to be reminded of just how truly special it is to do what we do. This year has been especially frustrating for me, I'm getting older and feeling the time slip away. Thanks for the inspiration to keep trying.
Weight never felt so good on my back. Totally right bro. "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
this was so well filmed and edited, really amazing work. that slo mo arrow shot was epic that bull had a whole frickin tree growing out its head, cam looked like some kind of mutant soldier when he was walking with the horns on his shoulders, looked pretty cool
Sixth time watching this now still gets me going. Hunting is what I’ve loved and thanks to cam this past year I’ve been diving deep into bow hunting. And I have to say when someone asks me to say what I am I describe my self as a bow hunter and I’m hella proud of it. Thanks cam for opening this world for me
Incredible film - Amazing job representing the entire hunting community with fellow hunters & other non-hunters alike. Keep up the great work Cam. Keep hammering
Thank you so much Cam for sharing this with the world! I seriously felt like I was there and jumped when that first arrow made contact! Inspiring! God bless!
I think if there was a really popular video of me and Joe Rogan, and Rogan tells me "you should make merch that says keep hammerin", im gonna make the damn merch. Seems like a golden opportunity to cash in on a quick buck
What an amazing bull!!!! Perfect shot placement and a quick follow up. From one of your many fans Thank you for being a role model for the hunting community!
I am totally amazed at the quality of this video. Photography, Philosophy, and the excellent portrayal of what hunting can and should be. This is the best Ive ever seen. Good job to all involved.
Cam, that was an incredible hunt thank you for sharing this publically for all to enjoy. You say at the end that you hope the film captured the moments, the feelings, the mood, the emotion, the effort, well sir it did all that, and some!! Thank you for inspiring and motivating and representing hunting in such an ethical way. Nothing comes easy; and that's the way it should be. keep hammering brother!!
@@toneloc747 Hi Tony, thanks for your comment. As a meat eater I would disagree that the statement is an Oxy moron. The fact is that we choose to hunt for our lean, clean, 100% organic protein which has lived a free and wild life in remote wilderness and has been killed under stringent game management systems. There is nothing more ethical to a hunt than after having worked your butt off and in Cam's case taken the animal with a bow. This, in my view is a far more ethical and fair method of harvesting meat than the alternative of farm fed, mass produced, and mass butchered animals that are only ever destined for the supermarket shelf where 99% of humans don't understand, appreciate or even think about where their meat comes from. There is no story or connection with food that has been bought off a shelf... But, as proud hunters we simply choose to maintain that connection to the land and animals by hunting for our own food so thay we can continue to feed our families while sharing stories about adventure, geography, animal behaviour, conservation etc etc, at the dinner table. What is not ethical about that? Cheers, Jamie from New Zealand
@@MountainMan_NZ lmfao he hit him and then it took an age for the poor beast to die. I am all for hunting but do it in a humane way not by using a weapon that humans have been developing better alternatives for for hundreds of years.
tadhg cooper if you knew anything about bowhunting what so ever, then you might be able to have an intelligent conversation. Since you are either ignorant or ill informed as to the lethality of a well placed arrow, allow me to shed some light. The blades on the heads we use are as sharp as razors. They actually cause very little trauma to the animal. What they do is slice a nice clean opening in a blood carrying vital organ. Quite often the animal just knows that something happens and it startled them but have no idea what it was. Often they will flee because that's what prey animals do when they sense something. They will then stop to assess what happened. This is just seconds and all the while the blood is leaving the body. They get lightheaded and stumble and it's over. Not much pain at all. That animal was dead in less than 2 minutes and maybe 1. It felt very little pain. We bowhunters truly care about the animals we hunt and do the best we cans to insure a humane death. It doesn't always go as planned and we do our best to prevent that. Thank you if you read this. I hope you have a little better understanding now. Sorry for you if you still don't get it.
@@tasaman nah fair your explanation does make sense but it is still a weapon tat humans have been developing alternatives to for hundreds of years but fair cop. I still think he is a bit of a tit.
All i can say is AWESOME!!!! From the videography, the land, the commitment, the skill and most of all the respect for nature. Well done and you got a new subscriber. You make a novice as myself want to get out and harvest BIG GAME. KUDOS to you Cam.keep up the awesome work. Thank you for sharing.
I love how you showed an accurate interpretation of the days, hours, and work it took for Cam to track and harvest the bull. I prefer it as opposed to the videos where it seems as if they walked out to the stand, sat there for a bit, and harvested the animal. It takes time, it takes determination, and you did a good job representing that with this video.
Congratulations Cam, you inspire me everyday to become a better athlete and bow hunter. Your humble personality and motivation rubs off on many. Nice shot and that bull and enjoy some of the best meat on God’s green earth!
I love this video. I just wish I could find half of the elk that you do. I’ve hunted Colorado archery for the last 8 years to not get anything, so Utah is looking better and better all the time. This is inspiring and makes me want more! Thank you!
Great job Cameron , I just discovered your channel and I’m very inspired by a lot of what you talk about. I have never bow hunted but I’m really wanting to get into it. Hoping to get a bow next week. And also the working out lifting weights has motivated me as well. I’ve set a goal to get into shape and get into the best shape of my life. Thank you
What a tank of a bull. Well filmed and a monster Bull at the end. Have followed you for many years Cameron. You represent our lifestyle in a beautiful way. Thank you from NSW Australia...
Cameron when you didn’t pull the trigger on that bowl and the reason why you didn’t was because you were having too much fun and didn’t want to and I subscribe right then and there! Your communication skills and humility or what makes this video so damn awesome! He seems like an incredibly down to earth human being and I am on your channel now forever! Great job bro!
Incredible. I hope one day I too get to experience a hunt in the US or Canada. This is a great example of living one's life to the fullest. Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏🏽🔥💪🏽🔨🔨
17:55 is everything brother. The respect you have for the hunt reminds me a lot of my father when I was a young boy. Thank you for that, and thank you for sharing the hunt.
I retired after 25 years in the military and didn't get to hunt with my dad but a time or 2 in that span. This past season on our family place here in Texas I saw that look on my dads face after taking the best Buck of his life...so many ways mine too.
I caught myself turn down my speakers and be really quiet....so I don't startle the bull.... . . . and then I thought wtf and wrote this comment. Epic video, though
I saw the GQ-breakdown-interview with Cam and thought I might wanna actually see him hunt. This video seemd like a good choice and it was. I really like how much he drinks in the whole experience, his surroundings, the wilds. Plus, he definitely stayed true to his word and took the opportunity to make the kill as quick as possible. But this also made it clear to me that I don't have the stomach for hunting. Not unless I have to do it to survive that is. Seeing the life drain from a body is just too heavy for me, if I have to fight the thought that I didn't have to let that arrow go (assuming I would be trained enough to do it properly etc.). Still, impressively done, and beautifully shot, both with the bow and with the camera!

@@carlkrebs1 ok when your kids will be hunted for fun then talk
Okay UA-cam, I’ll finally watch this for the third time.
Same haha
this is my second time lol 😂
I just made it a trifecta myself. 😄
Me too😂😂
Same here UA-cam suggested for the 3 time
watching your videos for the first time, after listening to you talk to me about your life story on audible for my 20km daily runs for the past 3 weeks. thank you for being an inspiration!
Pure and beautiful. So much respect to Cam and for the animal for giving us his life. Wonderful.
Just like everyone else has stated here, this is by FAR the very very BEST hunt and video I've EVER seen. Magnificent shot and an unreal second shot to boot. This filming here was no less than world class! Obviously your conditioning figures into the equation as well as constant practice. Once again, WELL, WELL DONE!!!! And congratulations on a superb bull!
That first shot was perfect, but that second shot was absolutely incredible.
I dont watch hunting videos. I am glad I watched this.
Best video yes. But by far the best documented and filmed hunt is The Otherside by Donnie Vincent. Absolutely insane movie.
Conditioning and pratice😂😂😂.. Kind of understating it with this guy...
Not sure whats more impressive, that bull, or a 32 mile run at his age
Jon he does 200 mike races and 24 hour races. I think he ran 108miles in 24 hours. I can’t remember what his result was for the Bigfoot 200. I think 78 hours.
Jon he runs a marathon (26 miles) everyday while working a full time job and goes to the gym everyday.
32 miles is normal work out for cam..
Coty he runs a marathon a day when he's training for an ultra not all year round
Cam hanes is definitely crazy determined.... have you guys ever heard of David Goggins he is another ultra runner / navy seal/ ext... he is worth checking in to some off his accomplishments
Never been hunting & know nothing about it but loved every second of this video. The storytelling, the cinematography, the audio, all perfect! Incredible film 👏🏼
I love his appreciation for the moment and the place he is at, a true hunter right there
well i dont

saw this comment and was like wtf does he mean then i clicked on the time stamp and bruhhhhhhhh hahahaha
Stormrage bro!
This is a strange experience for me to watch. I'm not a hunter but I'm not against it, providing it's not wasted. I enjoyed your philosophy regarding mercifully killing. I remember ringing my first birds neck and my Dad saying you don't want to hurt it, so you need to make sure you kill it. Same thing I guess. Bow hunting is illegal in the UK, not sure it is any less lethal watching this. Thanks for sharing and educating me. All the best.
I would not comment except to say.
There is nothing more primal than the feeling you get when you come to full draw on a animal.
It feels right and we bow hunters I believe respect the animals more because it is so hard.
To bad it is illegal to bow hunt in UK.
But nothing is stopping you from hunting other countries.
Good luck sir😊
@@Rainersherwood . I agree with everything you say except the first sentence. We are safer here because of those laws and so is the wildlife. Far too many idiots here to have people running around wounding but not killing what they would see as 'sport'. Not enough knowledge in regard to butchering the meat so it would't be eaten. My concern generally would be losing sight of an animal after it's hit and leaving it to die slowly. The guys in this video obviously know what they're doing but until I saw the end result I was thinking they needed a dog with them just to be sure.
Glad it ended well.
@@Rainersherwood Totally agree. You can hunt deer, just not with a bow. The justification is that they are less lethal!?! That is not what this video shows. The way I see it is a poorly prepared hunter could just as likely make a poor shot with a rifle as they could with a bow. I love archery and maybe I'll go over to the Scandinavian mainland to explore the idea of elk hunting. Unfortunately it will be a long while as all bow hunting is illegal in the UK, so will have to get some more basic experience abroad first. All the best.
@@martintaylor4620 I think you touch on a significant point. Most people in the UK don't even realise you can hunt here. The hunting community has been demonised, and as a result the meat goes to waste. Growing up in a rural area, game was always available but as time went by hunters couldn't give it away. As a result we have lost a lot of basic skills. I have a kid and one on the way, my wife doesn't want chickens to breed and slaughter. I want my children to respect where their meat comes from just as much as their fruit and vegetables. Meanwhile other people are eating stuff they have no idea if it's safe or ethical.
I think you mean yards, not meters.
That is one of the most beautiful animals I've ever seen. Also the double tap was trippy as hell too. The reaction of the animal going through the brush and the follow up shot. He is a true master.
As your friend said... very inspiring! I've followed you a while, this was by far my favorite of your experiences to watch! 💯🙏
I've been pumped for this one. Cam is my inspiration to bow hunt. I'm 19 and this is my first year trying it and I've fell in love with it. Thanks Cam.

@@GGreen-yf2xk hahaha the most backwards comment ever
He’s right, this is inspiring for sure. Cam is a mentor, I think Roy is smiling happy somewhere.Thanks for sharing something so personal and vulnerable, I too have a dream to feel that good weight upon my shoulders.
Cam I know this was from a while ago and I have watched this video when I need to be reminded of just how truly special it is to do what we do. This year has been especially frustrating for me, I'm getting older and feeling the time slip away. Thanks for the inspiration to keep trying.
Keep going 👊
Weight never felt so good on my back. Totally right bro. "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
I can watch this a thousand times and it'll never get old. Thank you Cam.
this was so well filmed and edited, really amazing work. that slo mo arrow shot was epic that bull had a whole frickin tree growing out its head, cam looked like some kind of mutant soldier when he was walking with the horns on his shoulders, looked pretty cool
You definitely captured the feeling. It's inspiring as hell
Sixth time watching this now still gets me going. Hunting is what I’ve loved and thanks to cam this past year I’ve been diving deep into bow hunting. And I have to say when someone asks me to say what I am I describe my self as a bow hunter and I’m hella proud of it. Thanks cam for opening this world for me
I love how positive you are😀 You are truly an inspiration!
Incredible film - Amazing job representing the entire hunting community with fellow hunters & other non-hunters alike. Keep up the great work Cam. Keep hammering
Seeing how much you practice I'm glad you had this great experience!
Man you are absolutely incredible. What a wonderful video of passion and skill. Gave me chills
Thank you so much Cam for sharing this with the world! I seriously felt like I was there and jumped when that first arrow made contact! Inspiring! God bless!
1:47 looks like he took Joe Rogan's advice and made Keep Hammering merch 😎
I just spotted that. 🤙
I think joe was being sarcastic keep hammering has been around for years
I think if there was a really popular video of me and Joe Rogan, and Rogan tells me "you should make merch that says keep hammerin", im gonna make the damn merch. Seems like a golden opportunity to cash in on a quick buck
I wonder where hes been?1 yr. since last video.
He already had the slogan and merch. Rogan was just joking about it on their hunt.
I watch this all the time. The respect and love this man has for animals and the nature is fascinating. We belong to the nature.
Need more of these ones Cam, brilliant work
What an amazing bull!!!! Perfect shot placement and a quick follow up. From one of your many fans Thank you for being a role model for the hunting community!
Dude, you are one of the reasons I started my own hunting channel. Thank you for inspiring so many of us out there! We really all appreciate it!
I am totally amazed at the quality of this video. Photography, Philosophy, and the excellent portrayal of what hunting can and should be. This is the best Ive ever seen. Good job to all involved.
Cam you continue to inspire me every day to work hard and achieve my dreams thank you my friend you are the man
Man it's good to see you on the air waves!! Best of luck this season.
Cam, that was an incredible hunt thank you for sharing this publically for all to enjoy. You say at the end that you hope the film captured the moments, the feelings, the mood, the emotion, the effort, well sir it did all that, and some!! Thank you for inspiring and motivating and representing hunting in such an ethical way. Nothing comes easy; and that's the way it should be. keep hammering brother!!
How do you represent "hunting in an ethical way"? An oxymoron, no?
@@toneloc747 Hi Tony, thanks for your comment. As a meat eater I would disagree that the statement is an Oxy moron. The fact is that we choose to hunt for our lean, clean, 100% organic protein which has lived a free and wild life in remote wilderness and has been killed under stringent game management systems. There is nothing more ethical to a hunt than after having worked your butt off and in Cam's case taken the animal with a bow. This, in my view is a far more ethical and fair method of harvesting meat than the alternative of farm fed, mass produced, and mass butchered animals that are only ever destined for the supermarket shelf where 99% of humans don't understand, appreciate or even think about where their meat comes from. There is no story or connection with food that has been bought off a shelf... But, as proud hunters we simply choose to maintain that connection to the land and animals by hunting for our own food so thay we can continue to feed our families while sharing stories about adventure, geography, animal behaviour, conservation etc etc, at the dinner table. What is not ethical about that? Cheers, Jamie from New Zealand
@@MountainMan_NZ lmfao he hit him and then it took an age for the poor beast to die. I am all for hunting but do it in a humane way not by using a weapon that humans have been developing better alternatives for for hundreds of years.
tadhg cooper if you knew anything about bowhunting what so ever, then you might be able to have an intelligent conversation. Since you are either ignorant or ill informed as to the lethality of a well placed arrow, allow me to shed some light. The blades on the heads we use are as sharp as razors. They actually cause very little trauma to the animal. What they do is slice a nice clean opening in a blood carrying vital organ. Quite often the animal just knows that something happens and it startled them but have no idea what it was. Often they will flee because that's what prey animals do when they sense something. They will then stop to assess what happened. This is just seconds and all the while the blood is leaving the body. They get lightheaded and stumble and it's over. Not much pain at all. That animal was dead in less than 2 minutes and maybe 1. It felt very little pain. We bowhunters truly care about the animals we hunt and do the best we cans to insure a humane death. It doesn't always go as planned and we do our best to prevent that. Thank you if you read this. I hope you have a little better understanding now. Sorry for you if you still don't get it.
@@tasaman nah fair your explanation does make sense but it is still a weapon tat humans have been developing alternatives to for hundreds of years but fair cop. I still think he is a bit of a tit.
Absolutely amazing footage! And your archery skills are awesome, setting a high benchmark!! Thanks
All i can say is AWESOME!!!! From the videography, the land, the commitment, the skill and most of all the respect for nature. Well done and you got a new subscriber. You make a novice as myself want to get out and harvest BIG GAME. KUDOS to you Cam.keep up the awesome work. Thank you for sharing.
I love how you showed an accurate interpretation of the days, hours, and work it took for Cam to track and harvest the bull. I prefer it as opposed to the videos where it seems as if they walked out to the stand, sat there for a bit, and harvested the animal. It takes time, it takes determination, and you did a good job representing that with this video.
These could be an hour long and I'd still watch 50 times!
Best filmed and edited I have seen in 10 years. Those slo-mo shots were awesome. Should win an award for this.
Your humility is the most inspiring...
Congratulations Cam, you inspire me everyday to become a better athlete and bow hunter. Your humble personality and motivation rubs off on many. Nice shot and that bull and enjoy some of the best meat on God’s green earth!
Congrats on 1m views Cam you deserve everyone then some. Thanks for the inspiration.
Bro your follow through is literally perfect
I love this video. I just wish I could find half of the elk that you do. I’ve hunted Colorado archery for the last 8 years to not get anything, so Utah is looking better and better all the time. This is inspiring and makes me want more! Thank you!
Congrats on a great bull. Your shots were absolutely perfect.
19:28 "SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE FORSWORN!"
you just gave me so much nostalgia it hurts
Cam is such an inspiration and fine example of an outdoorsman. Hoyt and UA got it right getting Cam on board as an endorsed athlete.
Great job Cameron , I just discovered your channel and I’m very inspired by a lot of what you talk about. I have never bow hunted but I’m really wanting to get into it. Hoping to get a bow next week. And also the working out lifting weights has motivated me as well. I’ve set a goal to get into shape and get into the best shape of my life. Thank you
What a tank of a bull.
Well filmed and a monster Bull at the end.
Have followed you for many years Cameron.
You represent our lifestyle in a beautiful way.
Thank you from NSW Australia...
"Keep Hammering" is etched on the limbs of his bow. Absolute legend.
All credit to Joe Rogan lol
Cam seems like a genuine good guy! Great Bull Elk
1st shot smooth AF, 2nd shot absolutely legendary !!!
The two best shots I've ever seen put on an animal, 50 and 70 yards. Amazing, back to back.
Awesome video. Camera work on that first shot was absolutely epic. Really well done. Thank you for sharing.
Cameron when you didn’t pull the trigger on that bowl and the reason why you didn’t was because you were having too much fun and didn’t want to and I subscribe right then and there! Your communication skills and humility or what makes this video so damn awesome! He seems like an incredibly down to earth human being and I am on your channel now forever! Great job bro!
Watched this so many times and it just does it for me. Cam is the real deal when it comes to hunting. I certainly look up to him as a fellow hunter.
this video is gorgeous. your camera man and editor are great.
Re-watching this for the 10th time, still gives me goosebumps.
Incredible. I hope one day I too get to experience a hunt in the US or Canada. This is a great example of living one's life to the fullest. Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏🏽🔥💪🏽🔨🔨
I really like Cameron's respect for the animal and the hunt and the work. Thanks!
So inspirational. This man is the example of what hard work and dedication can produce. Keep hammering!!!
2nd shot deserves a subscribed n ring the bell icon.
Truly inspiring sir! Just got into archery and you just gave me a standard to aspire to.
I keep coming back to this video! What a perfect shot placement!
Love to see our trailers being used by LEGENDS!
Ya I loved seeing my stuff in the back ground too
17:55 is everything brother. The respect you have for the hunt reminds me a lot of my father when I was a young boy.
Thank you for that, and thank you for sharing the hunt.
I retired after 25 years in the military and didn't get to hunt with my dad but a time or 2 in that span. This past season on our family place here in Texas I saw that look on my dads face after taking the best Buck of his life...so many ways mine too.
that second shot, was incredible. I got chills all over. Awesome!
Dude this is so awesome, cam is amazing, that second shot was amazing
I caught myself turn down my speakers and be really quiet....so I don't startle the bull....

Thank you for sharing this epic experience! Fantastic video!!!!!
New Zealand
seriously both those shots were legendary. the second one dropping over the log is beautiful.
I saw the GQ-breakdown-interview with Cam and thought I might wanna actually see him hunt. This video seemd like a good choice and it was.
I really like how much he drinks in the whole experience, his surroundings, the wilds. Plus, he definitely stayed true to his word and took the opportunity to make the kill as quick as possible.
But this also made it clear to me that I don't have the stomach for hunting. Not unless I have to do it to survive that is. Seeing the life drain from a body is just too heavy for me, if I have to fight the thought that I didn't have to let that arrow go (assuming I would be trained enough to do it properly etc.).
Still, impressively done, and beautifully shot, both with the bow and with the camera!
pure beast! 💪💪💪 keep hammerin
I've watched this video time and time again and am still amazed .
Ahh dang. You were in my back yard here in Utah. Great video and you’re a very inspiring person.
That was awesome!! Great Shot! 🏹 And as I was taught you keep sending them until they drop!💥💪🏾🎯
