Thannk for the video. Me and my friend set a new years resolution, that we were going to stay awake for 24 hours. You posted this at the perfect time. I about fell asleep. This'll keep me going for a half hour. Happy hunting!
thank
Geez, some of those elk were just TANKING rounds! Truly, an animal with high endurance.
Elk: "I tank bullets for breakfast, bring it on hunters!" 🦌💪
Hunter: Have you ever tasted 50 BMG before?
Elk are beautiful animals to hunt. Their calls are so magnificent. Man would I love to go hunt for elk.
Mad Respect for elk hunters!! Very physically and psychologically demanding sport! Great video!👍👍
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the feedback 👊
Sometimes the elk get shot, they just stand there for 10 secs, try to run , and die
😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤🫰
Elk are amazing! They can really endure it. What a difficult and at the same time honorable animal.
The skillful deployment of traps underscores the resourcefulness and ingenuity of farmers in combating the proliferation of invasive wild boars and protecting their crops and livelihoods.
The way they take on the shots its amazing! Fearless animals
Neat, neat, neat. The hunt at 7:30 has always been one of my favorites since I seem to remember that this bull was killed after a long stalk. Thanks for a great video!

Thanks for watching!
Vraiment surpris de la résistance de cet animal...encaisse plusieurs impacts. Le choix du projectile et le placement des impacts y est encore plus important sur ce magnifique animal.. Belle vidéo...
Yes, very much so.
That bull Ike killed at 23:30 is probably the prettiest bull I've ever seen!!!!! Good work Ike!!
elk are such an impressive animal. they sound as intimidating as they look!
Truly amazing how tough these bulls really are! Great video guys happy new year!
Happy new year! 👍
Elk are amazing! I come from Vietnam, so I know little about elk. Your videos are very interesting! Wish you always good luck and success!☝☝☝☝
Elk are so cool and exciting

@@EastmansHuntingJournals awesome
Good Huntng
Some great bulls, but so many spine shots....
I hunt fallow and red down under, and enjoy stocking the freezer with fresh venison. One thing I never do is take a silhouette shot against a skyline. That’s a risky shot because you never know where the bullet will end up if you either miss, or the bullet travels through the animal (a distinct possibility with the calibres these shooters are using. Notwithstanding, I enjoyed the video and thanks for posting.
"way to go big boy" 😂
Nice video. Just wish they would've used Tracer rounds. Just so we could see the trajectory & impact points
If you watch very closely you can see impact points and moment of. You can see the riple of the concusion of the bullet striking flesh.
I always feel sad every time I harvest a large elk unless it immediately drops. Hate watching a standing elk that is waiting to drop dead. But the meat is so tasty
I don’t know exactly what happened at 7:10 but I feel like I should respect it
Excellent montage of taking down some serious Elk. What caliber do you use most?
I personally use a .270 winchester, and have harvested 7 elk so far. Many folks think that the .270 is too light for elk, which is nonsense. Its all about bullet placement.
I'm an '06 guy. .270 is a great practical minimum, and anything over .338 Win Mag or .358 Norma is getting awfull hard to shoot well or hike with. Bullet construction and placement are key, as is knowing your own limitations. I know of elk killed with .222, .223, .243, .257 Roberts, and 30-30.
I’ve killed many elk, bulls and cows with a 25.06. It’s not about caliber it’s about shot placement, always!
Well done 👌
Thanks 😁
And calibers

@@genergaddi6416 they can't so you're post is pointless dumdum
Elk that are calm can appear to not be hit because they don't have the adrenalin rush going.
nice
Nice!!
Thanks!
VeryGood.👍👍
Thank you 👍
@@EastmansHuntingJournals frustrated brave sick soldiers.
I like hunting. Not grocery shopping 😅.
I like watching these hunting videos. I wanted to ask for a long time....Do you take home the dear meet as well for eating or it is only the antlers you take as a trophie? Dear meet is my favorite BTW.
Every true sportsman hunter takes the animal and eats it. But many times we'll like hunt for a big buck and not a small one. Same can go for any animal. So in that case we ALWAYS eat the meat. And also take him because of the trophy. But we never let them go to waste. If you only hunt for trophy which sadly some people do, that's killing them for a very wrong reason. Take an animal for the meat most importantly, than because of its size. Hope this helps 🙂
I could only imagine how good that meat tastes!
ALL of the meat is eaten. Elk meat is highly prized, and it is also illegal to waste it.
I have hunted my entire life and I have taken exactly 1 bull. I hunt purely for the meat so I take a cow most of the time. But even when you do shoot a "trophy" animal meaning you take the antlers true sportsman eat the meat. True hunters have a great respect for the animals and would never let the animal go to waste. We take the meat for our use and then the guts are left for wild predators. Although some people do like to eat organs as well. But when hunters take an animal not an ounce is wasted.
Are they pests? They can certainly take a shot that’s for sure and they don’t even flinch.
I love elk hunting! I'm not proud of lots of these shots. Lots of high shot that aren't critical hits, just paralyze the animal and make it suffer. Very unethical! Lots of high posterior shots. Usually the scenes that cut away quickly! And why would you shoot at an elk that is in the motion of falling down? I know the rush of adrenaline, it's great, but make a good first shot and it will pay dividends. Usually means more practice!
Some of the hunters should shoot a lot more on the range. And know their ballistics....
I agreed! I feel like a lot/majority of shots were not at the heart or head and therefore the animal likely suffered. You?
@@texastoast5202 I always shoot to kill immediately, i.e. the vitals.
Some great trophies , but I never can understand how it takes so long to shoot , and reload I can't imagine my guide having to tell me to reload or shoot again.
It’s because most of these so called hunters are really just Wealthy people That pay real hunters to baby sit them.
What caliber do you mostly use. Is the 338 Winchester magnum good for long range. I love the 338 . Or 300 Winchester magnum better. Please answer back.
300 rum… 338 lapua.. 28 nosler..
Bone Hound, I agree
Along Hwy 12 in Western New Mexico any night of the year. How many elk ya need?
What's with the second and third shots for an elk that is obviously already hit and standing still? Why not bring an M-60 with belts of ammo strapped on your body like Rambo?
The second and third shots ensure a quicker, ethical kill, and less suffering. Even after a well placed shot, an elk can run off and prolong the death. 5 minutes of running around suffering with a double lung shot? Or 10 seconds and it's all over?
It's because these guys are terrible marksman and don't know shot placement for large game.
@@brandongilpin6157 They're not running off though. These animals are hit, and remain stationary, and often succumb in less than 30 seconds. Anything more than that and you're just destroying edible meat.
It would be very helpful to see the caliper and distance right before the shot! This would help the subscribe button look more appeasing.
Hey! Don’t forget that Jesus Christ loves you and he died for you have a blessed day ❤❤
Skill issue
Gut
It would be an added bonus to add the yardage of the shots...just saying!
Thanks for your feedback! We'll keep that in mind for our next "best of" video 👍
My Point Exactly
Is having to take more than 1 shot on such huge animals considered a bad thing? Ive never been hunting just curious.
Ideally the animal goes down within seconds (instantly, even more so!) from the first shot. With big game a second or third is sometimes taken to speed it up and ensure a quick and clean kill!
However if you are confident with your first shot, you risk spooking them there after with more shots. Ive found if you place your first shot well, its best to wait at least about a minute and watch to see what happens. Chances are if you're comfortable with your rifle, and are a good marksman, it will only take one.
@@Mooskellunge How can you have a quick , clean kill with 3 bullets ? The pain that animal must go through .
@@paulwright9106 The goal of shooting more than once, obviously, is to put the animal down as quick as possible. More shots somehow correlates to the animal being alive longer? I don't understand what you are saying here.
1.02 is that stalking ? He must have been in pain .
Like 😮
Some of these shots were horrible 🤦
1:18 he said ouch I guess
1:11 what did they do with the meat?
They took the meat obviously, but the guy on the right has the bull’s head to get it mounted.
To be honest, a few of these shots were not very good ones and shouldn’t have been taken. In my opinion, if you can’t kill the elk with your first hit, you’re either 1) a poor aim, 2) too far away, 3) you’re not using powerful enough weapon/ammo, or 4) unforeseen circumstances, such as obstructions unseen through the scope, animal moves at the same time you shoot, etc. Accidents do happen no matter how hard you try to avoid them but they should be exceedingly rare. That’s not to say that if you hit them with a kill shot they will immediately go down. Sometimes they take off running before they realize they’re dead!
Maybe Hornaday ammo
Not sure what type of ammo some of these hunters are using, but they are not efficient at taking these guys down. They get hit in the heart/lungs and survive another 30 sec. Get better ammo man!
They were laughing. Sick mind !!!!
You smile when you eat a caged cow. Quit being a hypocrite
I have a question as someone who’s not hunted. Does the hunter ever feel any pain from taking the life of an elk? I know that they aren’t endangered and that the meat is used and I’m a meat eater so I’m not being naive. I just would like to know what goes through the mind of a hunter once the shot is pulled and the animal is dead.
Thank you so much for asking this. The answer is yes. EVERY SINGLE hunter who has taken a life has and will always feel for the animal. I have lived through this. When I was 10 I shot my first deer. That was very emotional! Not because I "murder an animal" but because it was first my time hunting and the first time I felt pure adrenaline and sadness and respect in my life. Hunting is one of the best feelings in the world.
Iv never killed an elk but I am a hunter, yes I do feel a little bad for taking the life of such a beautiful animal but at the same time I’m extremely grateful for even having the opportunity of being out in the woods doing what I love
Yes I do, that's why I do my best to make it a quick death as possible. Never take the shot if anythings even a bit off, you could easily lose the animal if it escapes and it'll live a difficult life from injury. I remember my first time hunting, I had my rifle, was by myself, and there was two rabbits. It was deep winter midnight in my backyard and everything was so silent that you could hear the rabbits chewing 15 meters away. And I just sat there and held aim for about 5 minutes before deciding to take the responsibility of the shot. All I could think about was the fact that this rabbits life was now all in my responsibility and this would change everything. I just genuinely can't help but pause and think about my responsibility in this world, my impact in the forces of nature by killing them. The rabbit was completely unphased by me, he really didn't see me as any kind of threat despite aiming a giant black metal air rifle straight to it's forehead. This shit always hits heavy for me. I think what I find funny sometimes is when people tell me, "how would you feel if you were the animal?" as if I never had the thought. I've had the thought since I was 7 and I've completely accepted that there will be things bigger than us and we will be their pets, their prizes, and they will pin us to their walls. These things bigger than us will never make me feel negative, they have responsibilities in this world too and I don't mind them making an impact. It's simply nature, nature will forever repeat itself. Afterwards, I sometimes think about how many babies the animals had and how it lived life. When you go hunting, you're putting yourself in the animal's shoes. You live a day of their lives and see what they see. Even just my comment here doesn't fully capture the entire experience, it's just something that you have to experience yourself to fully understand
Excitement
It’s an adrenaline rush yes, but it honestly is sad because you did just take a life. Although all the meat is used and sometimes the skin it is still saddening
i thought you would take the does for meat harvest unless your just after trophy
cant take does'
@@jkkggg2799 fair enough cheers for teaching me something
Nice shots... But what is the purpose of hunting?
Everyone has a different reason to hunt. Me and my my family do it for the meat and to put food on the table.
@@nathansloan9460 Okk👍
Mainly for meat. It's not good sportsmanship to only hunt for the trophy and let the meat go to waste.

buddy at 8:25 needs to cool it, taking unethical rushed shot on an animal that already hit perfectly
Yeah I didn't understand why he shot again as he was going down🤷, probably just adrenaline but still.
What elk bullet would be good for 30-06?
You can't go wrong with Horandy's Precision Hunter in any cartridge, including 30-06.
If you are a reloader, or know someone who can reload for you, my preference is Nosler Partitions, and Nosler Accubonds.
I hope the meat is harvested
Someone please explain this to me, I'm looking to move to Montana, I'm from a state where we have a ton of deer but not elk, I've never went hunting, does it cost 1200 to kill one elk? Or that license gives you the ability to kill multiple elk? I couldn't imagine paying 1200 to kill one I want to make profit killing them
Researching and learning the specific regulations in your area is the first step, you wont take nearly as many elk in a year (if any!) as you will something like whitetail.

At 19:00 Why shoot again if you got him in the lungs? Wasted meat.
Woah, lot of bad shots. Spine shots? Really?
I love ❤ guided Elf hunts. I use my daisy BB gun 🔫. When I kill one I quarter it and pack it out on teacup chihuahuas.
Shooting down a road at 23:10?
Dirt road with grass growing over it*, likely very unused and only for the purpose of getting into the elk country.
@@Mooskellunge It's definitely an improved roadway, and he also shot from the road. Freeze frame at 20:13.
@@Angry_Chair_87 fair enough but we can't say anything for sure based on the little we saw. Its up to the hunters to know if that is a safe thing to do in their specific situation.
Why are those shots not just right above the leg in the heart area? Looks like they're just shooting at the torso wherever they can hit. Isn't that the non-ethical way to hunt and causing them more pain and suffering? And also, after long consideration, I've come to the conclusion that Elk are "Herschel Walker" dumb. They just sit there and steer even when your 25 yards away.
Need one more snipper to hunt these hunters
❄️❄️❄️
,ok
I cant count how many times i hear "hit them again" while the Elk is doing the death wobble or literally about to tip over. All you are doing is wasting more meat with the second and third shots. Have some confidence guys....gee wizz
you guys cant escape from purest soul's curse
Rahonam- Are you saying they're gonna be cursed for killing those elk?
You feed that dog caged and slaughtered horses stfu
Skitzo
At 5:34 into the clip, he was just going in for a good ole sniff on a likewise possible female compatable, he didn't even have enough of a good inhale into the lungs, and bang, 3 bullets tore into his body causing death. I would have at a minimum, let him get a good sniff in, and take my shot afterward, hit or not, 😊😊😊

We don’t eat children. Ever heard of venison? It’s just like the beef you eat but without the cage
Looks like we got an anti hunting squeaker in the comments😒
Can you imagine the pain these animals suffer ... sick sick sick people
Ever see one starve to death, or be taken down by wolves or a bear? Life is hard. Grow up.
With great respect to you ....Yes, but they are animals. We are humans with a very advanced power of reason and realise deliberately causing suffering is not a good thing.
@@colinlavery625blah blah blah blah
Shooting an unsuspecting animal from hundreds of yards away. Gee, that sure must take some guts!
It amazes me that killing an animal is such a big deal I guess city folk are different from country folk.
Yep, city folk get meat from McDonald’s or the store, we get it from the wild. Better than any factory farmed meat
Some of the footages makes me think. Why are they shooting a animal when it's standing on top of the hill? When taking my hunters education course, I was siad not to shoot! Cause you don't know whats on other side of the mountaln.
