In this episode of Lessons Learned, Randy Newberg reflects on a limited-entry Montana elk hunt from this past season. He mostly solo hunted this tag and also self filmed it. Not having success, Randy is going to cover some of the mistakes he made as he looks back on the hunt.
First, Randy explains how he should have allocated more time and prioritized this limited-entry tag that he drew. Beyond that, he realizes now he should have prepared for all conditions. During the hunt, the winds were absolutely howling making hunting more difficult. With such high winds, elk hang out in a totally different area than Randy planned to hunt.
He saw elk and specifically bulls on public land. So it wasn't all negative. But with these tips, hopefully you can learn from Randy's mistakes and apply these lessons to your next hunt to help cut the learning curve

You learn the most in life from mistakes you make along the way... I really appreciate your content. Especially stuff like this. The amount of information is priceless because I learn so much from it. Everyone shows awesome hunts. But never show nor talk about the hunts that sucked. And must importantly what made it suck and the mistake made that made it suck more. Thank you for sharing. Not just the good hunts. But also the bad ones. It’s highly appreciated.

@Fresh_Tracks 2 года назад

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

#4 - hunt for your own reasons. Thanks for being REAL and upfront. It's refreshing. Agree - go with your gut. I know you have an audience to deliver for, but being yourself & letting the chips fall will create better personal experience (thus, content). Who cares what others think.

@kylejones7786 3 года назад

I honestly can't thank you enough for these.

@deannalemburg10 3 года назад

Guess we never get to old to learn Good job 😅

@chenoabryan8458 3 года назад

I always watch Randy, I wish he was my dad...Such an honest man. Integrity and morals with so much love for life willing to be patient to pass on knowledge; is what I consider #1 dad material.

@klwit1980 3 года назад

Thanks Randy for bring everything up not just all the things you did right.

@guylockhart4597 3 года назад

Randy, we have all been in those situations and not realized it, now I can see it. Thanks.

@olaafbrentot 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing. I think I learnt more watching your videos than actually hunting, even if I have a "Notes to myself" that I try to update every time I go hunting or fishing, just to remember what works and what doesn't.

@alabama2830 3 года назад

Thank you for offering your lessons learned again. You are an astounding mentor to all hunters. These are my favorite videos to study before each season.

@Jacktamatos 3 года назад

Thanks for putting out these kind of videos, randy. It’s important!

@williamchristy3063 2 года назад

Great video! #4 really hit home! I've always found a reason to put pressure on myself. Lesson learned!

@RatdogDRB 3 года назад

Randy, you champion the little guy in the hunting world. The little guy (often) just hopes to SEE elk !! And, to have an opportunity to shoot a legal one? OMG !!! Fill the freezer with great table fare. As for your willingness to kick yourself on video afterwards... again, that's championing the little guy in the hunting world. Your honesty of the outcome is most appreciated, and builds one's respect for the work you do (and your crew).

@perryknetter8577 3 года назад

Thank you Randy for being honest about what you did wrong and owning up to it. That is such a rear thing these days. Everyone looks for somebody or something to blame. Just remember when you're getting your tail kicked that means you are still out front God's Blessings on you & your team

@josephstephens3852 3 года назад

Thanks Randy. Sorry you didn't tag out but I appreciate how you learn and teach us how to learn from our/your mistakes. Also gives me hope when an experienced hunter like you doesn't always fill his tag either.

@kylepraske7376 3 года назад

Thanks guys. Great explanation, we appreciate the help.

@michaelnelson1911 3 года назад

I’m glad to see that you had at least one positive. Because I think we can always find something that worked for us in our hunts and other life experiences. In your case I think you’re selling yourself short. I think you have a couple more positives. Did you bring enough warm clothes? Yes that would be a positive. We certainly can learn from our mistakes. But we can also gain confidence from our positives. And I think you had many more positives. You just didn’t think long enough. I really do enjoy these lessons learned or what I will call debriefing sessions. Thanks for sharing.

@jaymac8971 3 года назад

Great Lessons and thank you for using the whiteboard. Your talent to explain and share is incredible, think I remember the whiteboard better than any fancy computer graphics.

@HikeHuntHaul 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing Randy! Another great video to stack more knowledge. 😃👍🏻

@crowoutdoors01 3 года назад

Finally my notification s work glad I caught this.

@jthebuckguy 3 года назад

This is your best video for hunting scenario/info

@Huntnlady7 3 года назад

Awesome, Randy. Hunt for the joy of hunting. With meat for the table at the end, there is no better pursuit.

@trbarnespanama 3 года назад

Love it. You guys should link the referenced episodes in the descriptions.

@kevinmullin9717 3 года назад

Thank you for those insights. I found it very helpful.

@keith9737 3 года назад

Love these lessons learned. Even though there were 3 negatives for most of the hunt, you still almost had an opportunity. With a little bit it less mental gymnastics, you could have had a shot on the 5 point. Goes to show that even a hard hunt with things working against you, you still might have an opportunity and be successful, if you are ready for it.

@richardheinz8243 3 года назад

Thanks for the education, my first trip to Montana for Elk is the Late period. This is a huge help.

Love these videos Randy thank you.

@puttnaroundoutdoors5517 3 года назад

I am new to elk hunting and I have begun purchasing points in other states and getting ready to go on my first hunt in the next couple years. I really enjoyed the white board scenarios, wouldn't mind seeing some more explanations like that.

@Fresh_Tracks 3 года назад

Thanks for watching, glad it helped.

@JavierLopez-mu5hc 3 года назад

Great info Randy. I agree sometimes we get in too big of a hurry and don't give ourselves enough time like we should. I also am not considered a trophy Hunter we all like to get the biggest one that's out there but like I've been told you can't eat the horns , so in other words take what you can get because sometimes you don't get another chance.

@gonzalesrafael22 3 года назад

Whiteboarding Randy Newberg. Love it.

@rickmorgan211 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing the hunters mistakes from your perspective. This isn't the place to ask a specific ? On a unit here in NM. What fourms do u answer live questions? It seems when I get a notification on RU-vid, your show is already over.

@rickmorgan211 3 года назад

Ps My youth daughter drew a very coveted youth tag at "end of rut" maybe

@TheWVgoodguy22 3 года назад

I always enjoy these segments as I have stated multiple times in previous lessons learned as well as answers for your survey email 📧. I learn a ton from these whether a bull or buck hits the dirt or not. You could be the Bob Ross of hunting diagrams if you had an Afro and drew some Happy Trees 🌲 showing elk sanctuary. Lol 😂 Mental gymnastics gets to the best of us. I have watched you for 5 years and have never thought of you as a “trophy” hunter, but someone who loves to tell a story and who takes advantage of the opportunity that presents itself. I probably could put more whitetail bucks down if I wouldn’t hold out for at least a 3x3 and shoot forkies and spikes that I knew were spikes and not does. Speaking of deer 🦌 you could have mentioned a positive of you passing on a nice buck, because you were focused on the one species that gave you the most meat 🥩 Two last things, I believe that you and the crew could fill more tags 🏷 by doing what you said and doing less hunts, but having more days in a row for each hunt. Preferably 10 days if possible. Secondly that checkerboarding of private and public and corner crossing laws have me nervous when looking at lower point hunts (0-4) for pronghorn and possibly mule deer in Wyoming and eastern Montana. Figuring out access and such without getting a fine has me doing a different kind of mental gymnastics. Any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing.

@jordanschelling155 3 года назад

Can you continue to hike in on the public trail through the private section as long as you are not hunting while on the private?

@teaganroehl 3 года назад

Do you have a video about how you escout and plan your hunts?

@rbyum6254 3 года назад

Thanks for the video.👍🇺🇲👮

@json9069 3 года назад

As one of your viewers...I'm sorry I screwed that hunt up for you Randy ; ) For what it's worth, I wouldn't have thought less of you for moving on to those three elk.

@marklaw6949 3 года назад

I think you needed to put all the blame on the cameraman, not the hunter.... It was that cameraman that messed up with the doublethink

@TheWVgoodguy22 3 года назад

He was the cameraman for this hunt and his deer 🦌 hunt.

@BryanTheHunter513 3 года назад

Needs to blame the cameraman who wasn't there. It's definitely his fault for not being available for this hunt!

@duncanjaxson8422 3 года назад

i guess it is kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream new movies online?

@sheerwillsurvival2064 3 года назад

More great information

@mattokeefe691 3 года назад

I think you are being pretty hard on yourself. I learned some things here. Thanks for breaking it down

@stevenfreeland5622 3 года назад

Hey Randy as a viewer I'd be happy if you would have got a spike. I tend to get down on myself when I only see guys like you and Corey get large bulls. I really like the saying (don't pass on the first day what you will take the last day)

@mikemarczak8517 3 года назад

if you had fun than that's a + don't put your self down for lack of timing its public land it happens to a lot of us

@tgrif04 3 года назад

You live and learn so you can count this hunt as a great learning tool. Just don't forget what you learned.

@devinleenhouts6562 3 года назад

Glimps of big hank messes with you gotta know when to pull the pin on him for better chance

@jonathans7552 3 года назад

What do you do when you shoot a bull, cow, buck,doe on public an it happens to expire on private property? Call land owner, call game warden. What happens next? Ifs

@sheerwillsurvival2064 3 года назад

like the song says you can’t please everyone so you got to please yourself

@bustabass9025 3 года назад

An accomplished DIY hunter like you, and you worry about people judging your game taking decisions? Take it from someone who has had to eat more than his share of those expensive Wyoming nonresident deer and antelope tags for one reason or another; "Fuggitaboutit!" You get used to it after awhile. Plus, there's always next season coming. With it comes one more chance to drop another load of cash, only eleven months away! [Laffin'😄]
