Hunting Colorado Mule Deer with Randy Newberg (FT S4 E2) 

Tag not filled and still I left this video completely satisfied! I quit watching hunting shows many years ago, cause as far as I'm concerned they are all under the very best conditions with a seemingly endless budget, and they sicken me, no... they repulse me! This is the only show I fell apon and now keep up with. This is reality and kill or no kill, on public land, how well you explain yourself to us, and your true appreciation for what you get to do so often... I'm all in! Thank you so much Randy for keeping this hunting privilege real for all of us. God bless you my friend.

lol i watched this whole hunt and nothing! love the determinability of not giving up and that deer just layin dead cause you just didnt want to try as hard and try going to kill another. great sportsmanship. great respect for hunters like you

Thanks for being different than most hunting videos out there! Your hunting approach should be required curriculum for anyone buying a tag. Keep up the great work, I learn something every time I watch one. Ethics, Research, Hard work, Great attitude, Valuable insights and instruction... You have got it all

You’re a model sportsman, Randy. Hell of a guy, you are. It’s an absolute treat to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

Your videos are the only videos I care to watch any more REAL STUFF THANKS !

Another enjoyable hunt video, thanks Randy. You'll get him next time.....

I appreciate that you discuss your strategies based on the area, season, & your historical experience in your interviews.

Man its a good thing you guys were filming that hunt. Can you imagine the feeling of thinking you hit him decent and wounded him?? aweful! Its great that you were able to review the footage. That hunt could have haunted you for life if you hadnt filmed it.. I wouldnt worry! Ryan Callahan missed a monster at 90 yards with his rifle.. It happens to the best of us. Thanks for all you do Randy, You inspired me to travel out west each year to take an elk. Only been twice and taken cows both times because of tag price.. but one day i will find a nice bull. and probably miss it from being so excited!! anyhow. Shoutout from Chattanooga, TN

Great video. Not every hunt is going to end up successful, thats why I love videos like these. They show the side of hunting most people don’t think about.

Randy, It's great to see you put so much effort into trying to locate the deer you took a shot at, so many fall short in the dedication required when attempting to take an animal. It is also nice to see it doesn't only happen to me! Happy hunting and good luck to you next season!

The Best Hunting Videos !!!!

happens to the best. I love your hunts. I would love to hunt with you some day. You all seem to have so much fun.

thanks randy you have a good season too.

yet again Randy awsome hunt and video

Another great video, Randy and Tyler. Thanks. I'm so happy I subscribed. It took me a while to get to watch it because I have been busy getting skunked during early whitetail archery over here! Haven't even loosed an arrow. Keep them coming!

thank for doing what u do. You inspire me to hunt

Watching your hunting show I feel like I'm there with you. I also used some of your strategies when I went hunting in CO this year. thanks

Since the first couple days end up being scouting days anyway, I try to get out to my hunting spot on Thursday morning (before Saturday opener) so I can get a day and a half of scouting in before the season starts. It also helps me get the camping spot I want before everyone else in the world shows up Friday afternoon.

love your videos and love the effort you put into your hunting.. even though you didn't filled your tag you still post this video amd your other videos also.. just show your passion into hunting

hey randy in a HUGE fan and love how you you just get to hunt all the time I wish I could do that

Randy...good job fantastic hunt...not always finishing with bloody hands is the pay off you ..i enjoy your channel keep up the great work

Nice hunt!! Shout of from zuni new mexico.

Randy you don't need to explain not shooting that buck to me . If he's not the one for you go get the one you like. Great video. Keep up the great work .

Randy never apologize for passing up a animal . You wait for years for a tag might as well make the best of it.

Randy, I have to say. You have the best hunting show out their!! Ethical fun hunting, they way it is done in the northwest. The way it should be done. Keep it up my man.

sweet hunt @530 looks like great country se of Bayfield

what did the second shot do? after watching it a few times, it really looks like a possible gut shot? great buck and video, always enjoy your films

I know how you feel. I made that same mistake on a whitetail buck here in NW Montana. Nothing but hair and a lot of time spent looking. It's funny how those things happen but even a miss is still a experience you will remember and appreciate for the chances at such an animal.

Randy, what is your favorite state to hunt big mature buck mule deer?

Randy, you have a great show and it's my go-to "medicine" for getting myself over the summer blues and into the rut! Question: Did you hang that lion-killed buck's rack up in the tree like you mentioned you do on a different hunt?

Randy, my son will hopefully be bowhunting mule deer in Colorado this year and wanted to know if you had any tips on what to look for when scouting and if you would ever bowhunt burns?

I'm watching this on my iPad and listening to the audio through a set of Sennheiser studio headphones. At 19:25, if you listen very closely you can actually hear Randy's pulse pounding through his microphone. No fooling.

Don’t know what speed pill you pushing. If it’s like a SST they have the same inheritance as the Remington Bronze Point they just don’t open up reliably either they work or just open up 2/3’s the way through sometimes act closely like a FMJ🥴 Sierras I’ve shot deer and caribou, one hole going in two going out the core separated from the jacket. A good soft point never fail like Speer hot core I prefer Hornady SP’s. Ya’ they don’t have the 500ish ballistic coefficient but they do work well out to 700 yards. If I knew what cartridge I’d know what to tell you Sir Randy. Keep the barrel hot And the X-Ring full of holes targets....... UP🤙

Where's the dive hunt?

@ 20:58 while on your knees looks to be a buck on the ground to your left?? Maybe just looked like one. Great effort you guys put in still.

That second shot like alot like a guy shot the way the buck haunched up and carried his back end off centre

Your camera guy 😆

Man I am a fan Randy but I would be willing to put alot of money on it but that buck was gut shot that second shot without a doubt in my mind

I wish I could send you pics of some of my co bucks

hahahahhahahha i know the feeling !

I think you hit him with the second shot. It looks like a gut shot. That buck died. But there is no definitive proof either way, and more evidence you missed clean. This is also why I keep preaching heavy bullets. 140 gr bullets at that distance may not exit if they plow threw a few bones first, like rib bones. Big Mule deer are tough, just like big whitetail. I believe that at distances beyond 300 yards the bare minimum for bullet weight has to be 150gr. with +160 and heaver better. What this does is ensures, that no matter the angle or bone you hit your still going to get an exit wound. For elk my experience is 180gr. with 200 better. We have all killed deer with light bullets and well placed shots, but when you get an opportunity to shoot a 30" deer sometimes he doesn't pose for the script, and your forced to take that NOT perfect angle. Your second shot hes facing you slightly quartering to your left. You can see the dust fly off his lower abdomen, (gut shot). It looks like your back in the lower stomach to me. All your going to get out of that wound is a yellow fluid, and if his belly is empty clear fluid. He will live for 2 to 6 days before the bacteria in his gut makes him so weak the coyotes get him, because he cant move. A heaver bullet might have broken his back leg on exit. I would have given him 24 hours and then started looking for him on the first ridge were you spotted him racking brush, he has a safe area and were you saw him the first time I think was close to that safe bedding area, just by the way he was acting. Being wounded he would go to the very place he feels safest, if he can. It will be a cold dark spot no one goes, if he can. That 7mm-08 is a hammer on deer. My 2 cents I could be 100% wrong with this buck, I wasn't there. You might have missed him twice. Remember : down hill ~ rounds are high ! up hill ~ rounds are low ! What a great hunt thanks for sharing the video !!

". doin ' what lions do " Right , like here in the Black Hills where the lions have decimated the white tail and especially devastating to the mule deer herd ...Not only are the lions destroying the deer herd but the diminishing deer herd translates to diminishing hunting oportunities. less draws means less hunters , dwindling hunting camps and a dying tradition...Randy , those cute kitty cats are killing our hunting tradition !!!!!

Nice video Subscribed!! Looked like an awesome hunt!! Check us out for vids this fall

Randy, does the idea of running across mountain lions cross your mind at all? if not, why not? (new hunter question)

Love what your doing for the hunting world randy. Shout out from Belen New Mexico

Hey Randy, thanks for everything you are doing for the hunting community, especially your advocacy for preserving public lands. I noticed in this video that you have a system of attaching your rifle to the shoulder strap on your backpack. I have been looking for a solution to securely carry my rifle with a backpack while being able to free it quickly. Can you please provide some detail on this rifle attachment setup? Thank you

The bright side is you made a bad shot but you also didn't connect with the bad shot and the animal wasn't out there dying a slow death all night long. You may not have been successful but you also didn't make a bad kill which I think is worse than getting skunked.

Valiant effort. Cant get them all. Great episode

thats why they call it hunting not killing you cant win them all!

Need to listen to marcus....

Randy your awesome love the description of the constitution in this video! I'm a 32-year-old North Eastern Maine guy. And I love watching your videos I'm heading out west this fall to Idaho northern part to do my first hunting trip with my buddy out west who moved there from here and what I get to see from your Videos is awesome.

What camera gear do you use because I want to get into videoing my own hunts I have another RU-vid account that I will put it on.

All these lounge chair experts??? You did your due dilitgence. you rock no matter what!

Another excellent video! Tough break on the shot. You'll get'em next time.

Boy that was a tank of a buck 😂 that sucks man it happens

Randy, awesome footage! Im pretty ive seen most of your videos, twice! I have a question can a non resident apply for a general unit deer tag? And if you can, and draw, are you able to purchase a otc bull tag as well. Thanks.

Randy what caliber rifle did you use in this hunt?

Love your show Randy and keep up the great work! :)
