Sometimes hunts don't always go exactly as planned. This Montana archery elk hunt is a perfect example of doing everything right and still things can happen that are out of the hunters control. This film is dedicated to the life of Joe Knarr.
This is one of the finest films I’ve ever watched. Thank you for your integrity as a hunter and your honesty as a storyteller.
Monforton school Bozeman Senior High, 1986. Hunted the Gravelly Range for nearly 2 decades before moving to Sheridan, Wy and always dreamed of filming hunts. Matzinger is the benchmark of how great content is built. Huge Respect!
Thank you so much for the compliment! Much appreciated!
Jason it happens too all hunters. Be thankful you found him cause you would have always wondered what happened. Cost you a tag but you got his rack and the memory
Maybe the best true hunting channels out there. How does this channel not have a million subscribers?!
what a great video and an honest one you did what all hunters should do if you shoot an animal track it until you find it and take ownership of the life you toke . God bless and stay safe and better luck in the future ,
. . . thee finest film to this date on hunting elk . . . thank you . . . keep on filming . . .
Jason, Your video work is the best in the business.
True hunter.. tells it the way it is. shows true humbleness.
Integrity . You sir have it in spades !!
Beautifully done and I appreciate the honest telling of the story.
What a film! Amazing camera work and great story telling!
Howdy Jason. Yep, it was a case of some bad luck. Perhaps meant to be and yet it did not go to waste. The predators have to eat too. This type of thing does happen to hunters and can't be predicted. It can happen to even the best of marksmen. There are plenty of TV shows that seem to never touch on this subject. You were real in what happened and your emotions were true. Thanks for the video. Later on Jason....
Great film! I'm wishing it was elk season next year!
Awesome job buddy! Great video! I know from experience, when you hunt as hard and long as we do we will have stuff like this happen. but as real sportsmen we do the right thing as you did. Thanks for everything you do man! Love your stuff!
This is a well-filmed and honest video. Thanks a lot for sharing. It definitely captures the highs and lows we go through sometimes - a lot of bow hunters have been in this spot before. Its great that someone with a big following and high-end sponsors sheds light on this unfortunate reality in such an elegant manner. It doesn't always pan out as you would like. Thanks for taking the time to make this video - it should bring in a lot of supporters.
Wish I could like this comment 100x! Pure Gold Fact
what a great film! such an effort and such a good fil quality! congrats!
Great video, took my bow out this morning to prepare for elk season... we live and hunt region 1 in Montana.
Good luck!
@@jasonmatzingerofficial thanks... luck is good but skill is better, I am just blessed to be able to hunt with my bow.
Jason your a true sportsmen. Job well done.
Awesome video!
Great video mate. Sorry about not being able to use your elk, but you still did the right thing 👌
Awesome. Was wearing headphones when you're at full draw I felt like I could almost hear your heart beating out of your chest. Cool film
APACHE529CREWCHIEF I'm pretty sure I've heard it too!! 😂😂
Great Film! I can relate!
samuel rogers thank you! It's a tough thing to go through man!
tough luck brother! I have a coworker who just lost his bull to a Grizz, similar to your situation. Chin up.
probably one of the best hunting films that I have seen!! keep it up:)
The arrow looks like it penetrated enough. It looks like a good shot. What happened? Was it to high or far back? Try to learn from ir.
Very good film. Still confused as to exactly what happened.... Did Wolves get the Elk? Was all the meat spoiled?
I may have missed it but what part of Montana were you hunting in when you lost this Elk to wolves?
On the release, your cam comes around and hits a stick. Could've caused a number of things to go against you...thanks for sharing.
Awesome film. Glad you were able to notch your tag eventually. The bull looked almost broadside, but your arrow at 14:28 is almost coming straight out the rear quarter. Was that the original shot or a follow up shot. Not knocking you, just curious as to what could have happened?
Bullstodie yes the shot looked broadside to me when I let the arrow fly. Turned out he was slightly quartered more than I could tell in the heat of the moment... Notching my tag was the only good way to end this hunt.
Just a question Jason, i don't hunt but is there any way in the arrows hitting its target that it could leave a tracker ( GPS )? just an idea . Or as i feel there is no way of doing so. Be a great help i feel to those deep and difficult location finds.
nice video, where do you find your background music?
good work finding it mate. Are you allowed to use dogs over there? Cheers. Josh James
Josh James Kiwi Bushman thanks buddy. Unfortunately we cannot use dogs to track wounded game...
Jason Matzinger , yes you can use dogs to recover game in MT as long as you do not carry a weapon.
Wow, that's exactly how I want to hunt, horseback into the woods. Take me!
make a better shot your arrow was hanging out in the liver area, and keep putting arrows into them till there down. elk are tough.
Went through the same thing last year. I found my bull four days after i arrowed him. Bummer
I'm sorry but those damn g 5 broad heads got to go. I have seen this happen five times almost identical sercomestances . Until I... Well we made the switch. Loosing an elk now is a thing of the past .
Brandon Monday haha. Don't be sorry man, that's your opinion. This is the only time I've had this happen with G5 and would never change because of it. I could blame everything down to my fletchings if I really wanted to. Nobody will argue G5 has the most accurate and sharp Broadheads made. Truth is I would have found that bull right where he should have been had it not been for the wolves...
