Well it's getting closer to September than I think most of us realize. Only three more months before we get to chase wapiti, and this year I think they should be pretty scared. Hopefully this video can get you guys pumped up to get back after it and do some elk hunting.

Last year I drew a Breaks tag for the North side. It was only my second year bowhunting elk and I'd never laid eyes on that country. We hunted hard on two separate trips that totaled 7 days. I think there was only one day where it didn't exceed 85 degrees. It was just dumb hot and hunting was limited to a very few short hours in the AM and only about an hour right before dark. The hunting was tough but we found elk almost everyday and were very close on multiple occurrences. I finally had to accept the fact that I might not achieve my goal of arrowing a bull on film unless I started hunting around Missoula. Well my first day in the mountains of western Montana and I had my first ever bull elk on the ground and on film to boot. 100% DIY Public land here in Montana. Enjoy!

Great video. Very, very impressed with the editing of the intro. Top notch stuff! I'd like to learn how to do some of those effects.

Thanks guys. Ya were still learning but I'll take it for our first year. It gets me excited for calling coyotes on film this fall. No school and plenty of time to call.
 
+1 on the intro. Great footage and sound of the bugling. Gives a guy the itch! I think you guys did great for your first season filming and first editing job. Kudos.
 


Very Cool!

Other vids are great too!


The fishing down here on the upper root has been on fire in case you have not been back recently, would be worth a trip!
 
Nicely done. I have killed a ton of elk with my bow but never on film. An accomplishment you should be very proud of. Your video was absolutely top notch. Very professional. I am looking forward to 2012 after arrowing a good 300" class bull last season on public land. If you ever want to play in Wyoming, let me know. That breaks country is awesome. Ft. Peck is my winter playground and one of my best friends owns the He11 Creek Bar in Jordan, MT.
