2021 COLORADO ARCHERY ELK: SOLO BACKPACK HUNT 

Thinking of going solo next year. I often think of the pack out if I get one by myself. Perhaps may be line up a packing service in case. Interesting to watch your video, I always try and learn from videos like yours.

Great video! One of the best I’ve seen yet. Looking forward to this seasons video!

Finished the video before reading it was your first try at packing in....crazy man...lol. Alone can be a big mental game...kudos for powering thru! Glad you had encounters cause that is a big boost to keep going for sure! Packing out that far back would have probably not been what you wanted to do! Thanks for sharing and good luck next year!!

Awesome video man, love to see the hard work you put in!’

Hats off to you. Solo elk hunting isnt easy. Just the mental grind alone is tough. Maybe 2022 will be your year.

The odds will never be in your favor! That just part of what makes hunting so great…(beating the odds that are stacked against you!)

Home starts screaming to your mind after a few weeks alone out there. Not to mention the physical abuse over a 2 week period. Nice work👍 Was out there for 8 days at beginning of season this year, was 90° everyday but 2. Hunting partner got sick and couldn't hunt. Heading back solo for the last 5 days.

That my plan for this year go solo over the counter in coloroado thank you for sharing man

your still a greenhorn .solo means your camp goes with you.it takes a lot of time and dedication to learn the elk ,and the country ,along with your limitations and abilities.good luck and stick with it . stay in the bush .you wont turn into a killer watching videos .

Great video thanks for sharing your adventure 👊🏻

Nice work. But try to focus more on one or two areas you've heard or seen them. You move too much and revisit some areas. Better off staying in one spot. Elk move and cover alot of territory. May have better chances. Glad you shared your adventures with us. Don't give up bud

Awesome video buddy

Great video. I’m going in two weeks and hope I’ll be as driven as you. What kind of boots were you wearing?

Thanks for sharing your hunt. Locating elk is the biggest issue and you have learned a ton by the errors and choices you made, not just by the right choices. E.G. When the big bull got killed, where did his cows go? Who is tending them now. the 2 to 5 satellite bulls would become instant opportunities, but again, you have to find the cows. Oh BTW, you need to fix your mic audio levels, half the time I could barely hear your commentary. You can adjust the levels in post production to normalize the levels and increase them to make the video better. Good luck next year.

Good stuff. Im planning my first elk hunt in Colorado for 2022. Do you mind sharing what unit this is?

Enjoy the time alone; it’s invigorating and a great trip. Good on you! Why does everybody whisper? Speak up.

What camera set up/battery charger did you use for this! Enjoyed the footage

Hi Ryan, I know what unit you where hunting and area, scouted that unit all summer needless to say that is a rough unit to hunt, my hats off to you thanks for sharing!

Lapponias: it is the way. 👊🏹

Good video👍🏻

Man buddy you were hunting in one of my use to be favorite places to hunt! I know all those canyons killed lots of bulls in there. I'm 99% sure I know the guy who killed the big bull you were chasing.

How are you going to pack 250 pounds out by yourself? Hope you had a packer set up. Something to think about. We all like born and raised outdoors, but don't have to pack camp around all day everyday. Cool adventure, man. 👍🏻

if you packed in solo you dont pack out a bunch of bones . take the time and bone it out.

Wanted to do it solo or buddies back out? I did a solo Antelope in WY. Went solo but have friends out there. (I did get one, with the bow)

Cow call more often.
