9 Septembers | "OTC" Archery Elk Hunt | 4K | Public Land OTC | Heavy Hunts | Elk Hunting 

“I’m not gonna get into the details of why it took my dad 9 Septembers to kill an elk. If you’ve elk hunted before, you know the details.” Perfectly stated. It took me 5 Septembers of failing to finally fill a tag this past Fall. I can relate to those special moments you shared with your dad on the mountain - during failures and successes as well. Congrats guys.

I am n Dad of 3 👦 all older than 25jr. This hunt was done n day before my big 60 Birthday. Wat made this hunt more special to me lots of memories with my sons hunting together. Hope we can do it one more time be for I leef this world. We all so busy making ends meat. We hardly of n family barbecue together any more. Thank you for making this vedeo it made me think n lot of living the dream with your boys. Nice animal. Congrats. Jackie from South Africa. And farmer.

I really like your guys demeanor. Respectful, honest and real. The kind of guys I would hunt with. Congrats fellas!

Thank you for bringing back so many memories. My dad, brother, and I archery hunted elk together in the backcountry of Idaho for nearly as many years. Dad has now passed on, but the memories will never die.

I couldn't be happier for your Dad, you, & your brother. Wonderful video/storytelling! Thank you for making the efforts not just to hunt, but to capture it here for us to watch, and for your family's future generations. I miss my Dad & my son, who both beat me to Heaven, & the possibility to experience this same thing with them. I sorta did though, vicariously through you! Thanks a million. 👍👊🦌💙

You did it again, the film perfectly captured both the effort put forth and your ability to edit it with precision to where the audience is captured from start to finish. Keep up the great work!!

What a hunt! This is what it’s all about! Congrats to your dad! He earned that one, glad it finally came together for him after 9 years of trying.

You boys worked hard and stuck with it. Such a great example of a hunt with the ups and downs. Beautiful bull and well deserved.

Persistence pays off !!!! Way to go Dad !! And congratulations to you and your brother for helping pops and being able to make it happen for him !! Guarantee he will never forget it !!

Family teamwork made the dream work. What a fantastic hunt and rewarding way to harvest the first bow elk!

Congratulations on a beautiful bull! And you have a great family, and that’s the best part!

Truly an excellent video capturing an old school father with his two sons. I loved the Mathews Solocam, and the buck knife. Really well done, I’m envious, and thanks for sharing .

Another great video! I’m so glad that you three have the opportunity to do these hunts together. Congrats to your dad on finally getting a nice one. Hard work does pay off! Great hunt…. Great video!!

Congratulations. That's a hell of a first bull. The memories are what it's all about.

Way to go Jeff! So happy to see you had both boys with you!

So happy for your dad on this hunt. Glad to witness you guys help your dad with his first elk. OTC, archery, on the last day, and in his underwear no less. The real blessing is hunting together as a family. Wish y'all many more hunts and in good health. God bless.

Great job!!! Way to go team Adank!!!!!

Congratulations “Dad” on your 9th year with success.

Congrats, Jeff! It's great to see you doing this with your boys. This definitely gets me excited about getting back out to the mountains. Great video!

Congratulations Jeff! Amazing commentary and film work. Love seeing the grit, determination, and adversity you guys go through in your hunts. And how awesome to have the family there to share the experiences! Very happy for you guys. Your videos are second to none. Thanks for spoiling us with another amazing video, looking forward to the next film. Keep up the awesome work Adank crew.

Another awesome video! I think that’s the first bull I’ve seen harvested by a hunter in his long johns!! 9 years in the making, that takes a ton of grit and perseverance to see it through. Congrats to 3 of you!! 🙌🏻

Too bad I'm watching this at 5 am and my house is all asleep cuz I'm jumping for joy for your dad's success!!!! Just wanna hoot n hollar! Sooooo great! Yall got it done!!!!

One of the BEST and most enjoyable Elk hunts ever filmed AMAZING Country and amazing that you showed alot of the grind. This for the viewer makes you feel like your there. Longer is always better. GLORIOUS!

That last still shot picture was a really great picture. 9 yrs just paid off . I'm surprised there were no tears ! Great job of videotaping this moment together . Congratulations

I lost my dad this September. I have so many memories of him taking me hunting and as the years went on it was me taking him hunting. Don't take things for granted and thank you for sharing this wonderful hunting experience.

Amazing video! I loved it all. Congratulations to your father and you and your brother. What an amazing documentary.

Adam, Another fantastic job! What a great tribute to hard work, hunting, family, and perseverance! Great job Jeff and Brian! Congratulations Jeff!

First time watching you great hunt, congratulations to your dad for his first Elk, my sons and I have started hunting Colorado three years ago hasn’t paid off yet, but we’ve loved every minute. Enjoy those times together nothing like it.

So awesome! Congratulations!

That was just awesome. Congrats to your Dad! Glad you filmed and shared this for us to watch. I can relate to the entire process and I hunted a lot of miles with my son's when they were just teenage boys. Some of the best memories. Have a great 2023!

That was awesome, huge congrats to you all. I can't wait to make memories like that with my own children in the mountains. Hunting with family and friends is something special that's hard to explain without having done it, even just a bird hunt with my young boys makes for special memories.. You guys nailed it..

Holy ballz. Thought I was the only.one who says that haha. Beautiful bull

Awesome to see ur dad still giving it after 9 yrs!!!!

That was an experience you guys will never forget. Great Footage , great to see Family spending time together. Thanks for sharing

Man I loved this video! I felt it personally. My Dad and I love elk hunting together. We have had some success now but plenty of years where tags were left unfilled. Congratulations and I applaud y’all’s persistence really well done!!

Watching the three of you together creating memories like you said makes me so happy to see. The editing of this video is fantastic.You’ll have to teach our son some things ❤️

This video was very well laid out. I really liked the mix of OnX and video. I felt like I knew exactly what you guys were up to in your thinking and looking at the topography (in relation to OnX) Congratulations to you Dad and his 9 year quest. Great Video. Keep’ ‘em coming.

Nice hunt! Cherish the time with dad we only get so many. Great work all of you.

Congratulations guys that's so awesome you guys got to share this moment together.

This is a great video, possibly one the best I've ever seen. I never got a chance to hunt with my Dad. So I learned on my own with a friends Dad. My Dad worked 100+ hrs a week and listened every year to: "We can buy steaks for a year at a tenth of that cost! and not raise a sweat doing it" (WW 2 vet and really tired of guns, he left me with three he brought back from Germany). Both my boys were (are) Eagle scouts and could track anything I asked for. but neither liked venison. So,... we hiked for miles, we tried it with cameras, but zooms made it too easy and that's really not hunting, That's not the shared adrenaline rush you get when your with friends trying to fill a tag. I know you know, Thanks again

congratulations well earned and the memories you and your sons are making will last forever . well done on a hard earned elk

Enjoyed the video. Your dad seems like a really great guy. Must have been a blast having his son’s with him on the hunt. Bravo

Great job Heavy Hunts!

I’ve been wanting to get my dad out to shoot a nice bull as it is his dream and this video showed me just how important it is to get out and hunt together as much as possible before you can’t anymore. Thanks for the amazing content you guys are awesome!

Your videos are definitely thrilling and exciting! Can't wait to watch futures videos and see where this adventure takes you!

Congratulations, thanks for sharing this family hunt with us while making lifetime memories.

What a great hunt. I am a little younger than your father and starting to have these types of hunting experiences with my now adult son and daughter. I know how special this hunt was for your father. Glad to see it is equally as special for you young men and how important is was for you to get him on the bull. Congrats and keep up the good work! Great film! I will be looking for that FREAK bull!

Congrats to Jeff! The video is awesome! Great work Adam! You guys take this hunting to a whole nother level, amazing! 😁

Another great film by HeavyHunts! Make sure to give this one a watch, nothing like seeing a successful bow hunt after 9 years of effort!

Awesome job Dad

As a fellow “old timer” with kids the same age as your boys, Congratulations!!!! Great film, and great Bull!!! And all done in your skivvy’s…LOL a story for a lifetime.

Great content. Hard to put into words the emotions that come from an experience like that ! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome bull and awesome country! Congrats guys, hard earned!

Just discovered your channel through this video. Just wanted to drop a line! Very well done! You guys aren’t over the top and show REAL elk hunting very well! You hunt a lot like me and that resonates well! Now to binge watch some other stuff on your channel! New fan here!!

no ums great job best video elk hunt in a long time

Treasure the times of suffering with loved ones brings a joy no words can adequately describe. 💙

Wow! Well done! Look amazing on our TV! Didn't know you been at it for 9 years! Amazing!

A good shot and a professional

Man that looks like a lot of fun!!! Congrats!

Great video guys. Very moving, there’s a lot of elk hunting vids on RU-vid I really enjoyed that one.

Hunting is also something i grew up doing with my brother and father from the age of around 6. In my late 30s now and i still share this bond with my father on a yearly bases. We've talked more than we hunted and have gone more years without success than we always have with but its not about the harvest its about the experience. We lost my brother 17 years ago now but our hunting season always fell on his birthday and i believe thats what made the bond tighter. That first year going with out him was probably the closest we ever came to not going but i had to drag my dad out and he probably had to drag me out as well, one of the hardest hunts we ever made. What made that year even more special is my brother drew a tag that year that we ended up transfering into my name and i was able to fill it that year. Here i am the ripe age of 37 going on 38 and we still go yearly now i'm taking my boys out. Great film man and the quality content you brought with this i can see the bond between your father and you guys! Love what you bring, keep em coming!!! Congrats to your father by the way!!!

Congrats!! I just shot my first bull, a double lung at 17 yards, at 59 years old. Just wish my dad could have been there with me, but he passed in 2008. Make memories together as much as you can.

Friggin AWESOME !

Great job guys, you seem to really have this figured out. Always enjoy how you edit your video Adam. Congrats bro!

Truly awesome guys. Congratulations on a wonderful adventure in GODS COUNTRY. I share some of the same passion for the elk hunting and the outdoors as y’all.

Great hunt, good to see the highs and lows. Congratulations!

Another Great hunt! The editing is top notch as well!

Like seeing the family hunting together. Great content and seeing everyone view.

Great hunt - Congratulations to all!

Congrats! Great video! Great team work!!!!Awesome bull!

Awesome hunt! Great job capturing it on video. I loved that freaky bull from the day before. I like how your Dad killed it in his long johns!
