This is the story of a Wyoming backcountry elk hunt on public land with a general tag. We hunted 2 different units in 9 days and spent another 3 days packing our bull off the mountain. The hunt started with archery equipment but transitioned to rifle as the gun season opened. We harvested a 326" bull that later became known to us as TIMEX!

Well done! I just finished watching this video and I gotta say, I’m impressed. You men need more views on this channel. Great storytelling. You tackled some BRUTAL country-when the rubber meets the road, few people are willing to put in the hard yards for your success. Congratulations on every level-the film, the time with family, the grind, the success, the bull-all of it. Well done.

Wow thanks Brian. I was driving to a family Christmas when my wife told me you commented on my film. I said no he didn’t. She said yes he did! I had to pull the truck over lol. As you can probably tell by watching the film, you have been a huge inspiration to me. Your channel is the best thing on RU-vid in my opinion. I enjoy watching your films because they always show the whole experience of the hunt from beginning to end. And I love how hard you guys work. I never expected you to subscribe. Let alone be one of my first 100. Thanks for the referrals and thanks for all your hard work with everything you do. It shows in all of your content. Honestly I cant believe you even had time to watch this with how busy you guys are! The pressure is on, now that I know your a subscriber. Thanks again 🙏🏼

Heck yeah that’s awesome that Brian commented. Deservedly so. I can tell that you take inspiration from his work. Kind of reminds of a mix between him and Jason Matzinger from Into High Country. Congratulations on such a great heavy old mature bull. You definitely earned him by staying Gritty.

@heavyhunts
@heavyhunts 2 года назад
I love Brian Call's films for exactly that reason. He works hard and I feel like that usually attributes to the great stories he tells. In my mind this hunt was perfect as far as what I wanted out of it. I got to explore 2 different units, got to see some great bulls, got away from other hunting pressure and got to fill my tag as the days were winding down! Thanks for watching and leaving the comment.

Thanks Seth. I debated talking about the outfitter and the name they gave the bull in the video. I liked hearing about the outfitters history with the bull but I also didn’t because of the reason I stated in the film. Usually most people don’t have any history with an elk before they harvest it (At least not as a non resident). So it was part of the story and I thought it should be in the film. I’m glad you liked it!

You’re comment in closing about doing actually what you envision is the honest truth that few will ever know. Hard work gets it done while others talk. Congrats on a great bull and hunt.

This was a great film! Good job on the editing, the narrative, and shooting! Plus great hunting. Only thing I could add on would be to pack a set of camp clothes with you and pack your hunting clothes away as soon as you decide to start a fire, cook, or when you've decided to pack it in for the day on the mountain to help with your scent.

Thank for watching John. With the type of backcountry hunting we have been doing the last few years I pretty much gave up on scent control. I feel like it’s impossible to stay decent free with all the sweating and fires. Even when I shower in no scent for whitetail snack home they still seem to smell you. I have really tried to focus more on wind and thermals as best as possible. However, I will try to keep a clean shirt or two specifically for a stalk if I can. I also keep a small pack of scent free wet wipes in my bag to “shower” every day. Thanks for watching the film and commenting! Happy hunting!

Thanks Roy! This comment is especially nice to hear. I know that’s the footage everyone wants to see. But in the heat of the moment I had to make a quick decision. My max range I felt comfortable shooting was about 400 yards and he was about to disappear. Good luck on your first elk hunt next year! Elk hunting is tough but I think that’s what makes it so rewarding! You will be addicted!

Congrats on a great bull. I was in that camp that you mentioned and met you and your father. I glassed that bull for two nights and intended to make that crazy climb on the third day but tagged out in the am in a different spot and I'm glad I didn't have to try because you already had your hands on him. Congrats again

New sub here. The editing and commentary of this hunt really impressed me with how it brought the whole hunt together. Your bull and the hunt for him is the kind of story guys who don’t hunt the west every year dream about doing. You did it the way most guys have to do it. You guys put the time, went through adversity, and shot a champ of an old mature bull. Way to go on your guys success, and it was a great hunt and pack out to watch!

Thank you! Took me a few months to get the film edited the way I wanted but I was happy with how it turned out. I’m glad you enjoyed the film and the story. I wish I could have shown more of the pack out but honestly I just didn’t want to deal with that camera hanging around my neck or digging it out of my pack during that days packing out! Your comment is much appreciated!

Fantastic work gentleman! Living not too far from that area, you need to have time and weather on your side to get an animal the size of an elk out as the work getting 350lbs of meat and antlers out is going to far outweigh getting yourself and gear into it. Applying high country mule deer tactics to an elk hunt can be very rewarding and my knees quivered when you said it took 3 days to pack that big bull out. However, I've always like to say, I'd rather spend 2 or 3 days packing a big bull out then spend a week looking for a raghorn to fill my tag that was closer to the truck. Congrats on a great hunt and thanks for sharing it.
@heavyhunts
@heavyhunts 2 года назад
Thanks for the comment Aaron. The pack out was brutal. I didn’t show much of the pack out because I simply didn’t want the extra weight of that camera around my next while packing for those 3 days. There’s just something about the adventure of the high country that draws us, even if it is more work!

Well done on a great hunt and production of this film! Like Brian Call said, you did some good storytelling, something a lot of RU-vid and professional channels/shows lack. You were hunting here around Jackson Hole - some of the most challenging terrain with good numbers of elk. But you showed that in order to get that quality of hunt, you really need to work for it (usually on foot) and plan accordingly doing your homework. Like your neighboring outfitters told you, that drainage holds animals but they didn't want to navigate it with their horses and guides. That's probably why you didn't see much for human activity in there! There are many that are just physically incapable of doing what you and your father did, so thanks for bring us along on the ride to live vicariously through your efforts. Can't wait for more; I subscribed!

Thanks Jackson Whole Experience. I appreciate that you enjoyed the story behind the hunt and not just the end results. I like watching the hunts that show the entire experience. So that is what I have aimed for in the few films I have made so far. I have quite a few hunts planned for 2022 and I hope to share those stories on my channel! Thanks for subscribing. I use Final Cut Pro for my editing!

Thanks for the high praise Matt! Its an honor to be mentioned along side those channels! I'm definitely hoping to drop more films in 2022. I told myself I wasn't going to post content on RU-vid unless it was something I thought people would really enjoy. My plan starting out was to post quality content and not worry about the quantity of content I was posting. Since I posted this hunt and Brain Call (Gritty) gave me a shout out, my channel has grown rapidly (compared to me first 6 months on here haha) You might not get a ton of content from me compared to other channels (at least not immediately) But if you hang with me I promise to do my best posting quality hunts! P.S. my brother lives in Colorado and we might be out there next fall! Good luck on your hunts and thanks for the comment!

You'll get there just got to have patience. I'm here for the long haul sir! I'm excited to see it happen. Having you put up some quality Colorado content would be awesome! Maybe i'll catch you and your brother in the colorado mtns some day! Best of luck.
