I've Never Shot A Buck That Pretty | Nevada Pronghorn (EP. 1)

- Randy Newberg continues the beginning of his hunting season by switching from chasing mule deer with a bow to chasing pronghorn with a rifle. He didn't know if he would be hunting pronghorn this year, but was able to pick up a landowner permit and will be hunting the public lands of that area.
He shows up one day early to scout the unit and learn the area. His plan is to glass three main springs in the morning before the mirage makes it hard to see. Randy sees plenty of antelope and a buck that he wants to go after.
The following morning they start making their way in from the road while it's still dark, they end up bumping the buck before legal shooting light. Randy hopes they'll be able to get back on him and get a chance to fill his tag on a public land Nevada pronghorn.

This video confirms my thoughts on 9/30/21. I was sitting down looking at my Antelope buck hanging before I caped it out. I was thinking I just accomplished the impossible? I got a public land WY Antelope with a bow?! Most fun, most work, most miles, most stalks, most misses, and yes, the most reward I have ever experienced as a hunter.
EPIC adventure.
That ladies and gentlemen is a true hunter I won't shoot unless I know 99 % I'm comfortable with the shot
I second the notion of Sitka making Randy his Fishing hat in there camo! 😄
Hey, stop telling everyone how great Nevada hunting is. It's hard enough drawing a tag😉
There are a lot of easy tags to draw In Nevada
@@Dopiestlion9 calm down pard, it was tongue in cheek. Then again, the"easy" tags are not desired tags, most generally.
You need to chill out some it's not your private reserve!!!
@@davidwills8803 once again... Calm the fuck down Francis. It was a lighthearted statement.
😜
This is why you are respected and followed by die hard hunters Randy. You practice what you preach.
And Uncle Randy should never be questioned on hunting!!!
One thing I learned in the military is that because so many bases are near quality hunting and fishing, establish residency. Not all, but most states will allow you to maintain your lifetime license even if you move out of state afterwards. In some places like here in Oklahoma that means you won’t have to purchase any OTC tags ever again. Others it’ll mean that applying for your drawn tags you do so as a resident not a non-resident.
Yes, this can be gaming the system, and it’s why some states say no. But if it’s good in your state then by all means do it!
Wish I did that when I was at FT Sill! I did get a 6x6 elk though, so it was still a great hunting experience.
I wish that there were more hunters like you. Love how you have the respect for the animal to not shoot him
Pronghorn biology and management- thanks for the tip, Randy. Right now I have Elk of North America checked out from inter-library loan. Been uploading a few pics to FB hunting site, but lots of yokels have laughed at me. I'm just shaking my head- especially when it comes to the necropsied photo of the heart out of a bull which had been shot through and healed!
Extra wardrobe ha ha aha! You crack me up Randy!!!
Looks like Sitka has gotta make you that same sun hat in their Camo!
I’m glad to see you’ve pinstriped that raptor!
What great information. I've hunted speed goats before and never really had to stalk one. So I can't wait to see what's next and learn from the master!
You do it right! ......that's why we watch. Thanks Randy, always love a cup of coffee in the morning and a great hunting video
Randy and crew! This year I was able to take my first pronghorn out in Montana just wanted to thank you Randy it beacuse of stumbling on your videos that gave me the confidence to head out West for a hunt thanks for the help guys!
Well Randy this great news, but I live in Nevada and I cant draw a Antelope tag, good Luck . I was sad day for me Hearing the Passing of Dale Burk, of Stone press. I hunted with Dale several times. The people of Montana lost a guy who dedicated to help all hunters and Organizations like Elk foundation, God bless him and Family.
Great video Randy great camera work.
Just a over all a good show with some great information
God's Blessings on your adventures
Episode #1 of "Ernest goes to Nevada" was comical to say the least 😁
Fully agree with all of your comments agreeing that you don’t take the shot unless you’re 100% positive good on on ya Randy
"A victory lap in the Raptor!" (with the Nevada pinstripes) He should feel honored!
Never regret a shot you didn't take, learned that from you!
Often wonder how people watch these videos and know exactly what to do...lol. If your not there and doing it " stop typing" enjoy the show and learn something. Your videos are a testament on how to do the right thing and not be dumb. Well done man well done.
Thanks for those encouraging words.
Props for the Far Side reference Randy!
I’m sold! You are the reason why I’m planning a Pronghorn hunt.
Randy, please ignore all they keyboard commandos dogging on this video for "too much babbling." I want to see real life, and this was it. When you have a frustrating hunt it tells me it's ok when I'm frustrated too. If guys want to see a polished hunt, go watch one of the high fence shows...
Randy, another great video. The camera made the pronghorn look closer than it was. Before you mentioned the distance I honestly thought that you were under 100 yards. You did the right thing mate. Can't wait for the next video.
Appreciate the video's Mr Newburg, thank you sir 👍
I’ve used shooting sticks while standing. Not comfortable with them past about 150 yards in great conditions though. Passing is never the wrong decision!
Antelope education... keep it coming! Thanks Randy
You are making it out like its rocket science complicated lol love the videos keep it up!
Great episode, thanks
I literally hunt Wyoming Hells Half Acre for pronghorn.. its a place in Wyo
Great video and looking forward to the education on antelope. I wouldn't take the shot either. Hoping next year I get a chance to go chase'em.
Good to see ya at it
Another great hunt!
Lovely looking Buck, and don't worry, those scratches will buff out, probably lol!
Always enjoy it when “big hank” enters the conversation.
Can we talk about the 3.2 hiker’s… exciting to try them!
Awesome video randy
It’s surprising to see you without orange
REMOVING THE TOP BUCK FROM THE GENE POOL. GOOD JOB! LOL
From nice warm Nevada weather to today here in Montana.
One of the best areas in the state in my opinion
Big hank is still walking !!!
Got a bog pod. Left it in the truck. Hadn't seen a buck in three days. See one about 200 yards away...no bog pod. Throw down on him and I'm wavering all over the place. Buck took off while I was trying to steady a free hand shot. My guess is he's still running. 😕
Someone get Randy a Dilly bar, maybe he will sound more enthusiastic about this hunt. Lol
Goated vids
American hunt,truck, rifle! 🇺🇸👍
I have questions about the state selling landowners a transferable tag that is valid statewide & on public ground. Seems the permit should only be allowed on that landowners property & not statewide or especially public ground that belongs to all Nevada residents.
Read some of the “comments “ you said early on it was part of a tutorial. You were not talking too much. Good part also explaining why no shot. Probably those complaining about that have never done it
Is it time to dig into the archives and pull out the antelope costume? Thanks for sharing, it looks like fun.
Nice
I noticed you were using the spotting scope looking partly into the sun and i believe they see the flash at different angles. I made a what i call a flash filter to go over my lenes on all my scopes, binocks.
thanx
Have you thought of trying quad sticks, we use them a lot over here in Britain
Good morning 🌄 Randy, have you ever thought about adding a 8ft or 10ft camouflage step ladder with the gun rest on 🔝 when going to a location like that? Maybe two, one for the cameraman!
Pronghorn antelope have extremely good eye sight. They can spot you miles away and any thing that wasn't there the day before.
I’m heading out for my antelope hunt in Wyoming this week. And a blizzard is about to hit this area. lol. Could be interesting.
Good luck! I have trouble spotting pronghorn when there’s snow on the ground, especially when there’s still brown patches of vegetation.
It is never easy but persistence will pay off
Good target shooter
Great first day! Enjoyed the video! Whatcha shooting?
I think I would eat sompin take a nap and wait for him to come back by...
I fairly certain it has been address before. But what is the rifle sling Randy is using on his pack and where can it be purchased?
I totally understand the smiling love to hunt me a great prong horn again one day! I am with you hunting be ready before time! never take a shot you not comfortable it will work out for the best hang in there thanks for sharing as always enjoyed best of luck!
I agree with you that speed goats are the most fun to hunt. To spot and stock antelope is to me the most challenging kind of hunting. These incredible animals can be the most formidable to sneak up on. Just a suggestion, but you might include a short tutorial on the care of the meat, as you know it’s pretty easy to taint if you don’t get all the hair off. But, if done right, it is the best wild game out there!
I appreciate the restraint shown when you couldn't make the ethical shot. Patience grasshopper... A slightly off topic question. I see you are running the BF Goodrich All Terrain TA K02 tires on the Raptor and on your previous truck (Nissan) you ran the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT tires. I know it's not an apples to apples comparison, as the tires are on two different trucks, but what are your thoughts on these two tires? Having put them both thru their paces, do you have an opinion as to a favorite tire for the type of environments you put them thru?
Paul, I didn't think I would like the BFG, but I really do. They are better in snow than I expected. And, in rock and mud they are all that I expected. Hope that helps.
anyone know what caliber he's using? tia
Uncle Randy should never EVER read off of a teleprompter!!!!
We've all missed. That's not a sin. At least you didn't wound it and lose the animal. Personally for that terrain I would not use a 7mm08. I would go with probably a 7mm Magnum. Simply because on that particular shot you would have had that animal. I do love the 7mm08 in most situations. The last time I went pronghorn hunting I took my 270 Browning and hit one out at 450. It's just flatter and faster than that 7mm08. I think the and this is only my personal opinion, so I could be wrong, that the 7mm 08, has a limited effective range of about 300. Where you can push that 270 out to 500 as well as a 7mm Magnum.
Randy how do you like those new Kenetrek Corrie Hikers? My wife and I have a couple desert hunts next year and they are a boot I’m considering. Or maybe I’m looking for an excuse to buy yet another pair of kenetrek!!
I really like them. I've worn them a lot this year.
@@Fresh_Tracks good to hear! I’ll put them on my list!
Backpacking Chair vs backpacking sit pad?
RANDY!
WHAT TRIPOD YYOU USE?
to second guess your action randy is what i call stupid lol you are one of the few people alive that hunt and show ethical knowledge on everything you do . if more people would just take a little of your ethics there would be alot less bad kills and wounded animals left to fend . ;) on better topic i just got my disability tags to shoot from a vehicle as long as im off road and the ability to have a helper on my hunt . we are getting a ton of moisture early in wyoming so im glad i picked up a gen bull tag along w gen buck , maybe this will be my year to harvest any elk i dont know how many years i have left donating to elk tags lol
You need shooting sticks tall enough to shoot standing up.
Sorry for this stupid question... You said you were 800 yards away from the pretty buck and that you heard a shot that you think hit something. That landscape looks very flat, wide open, and not much for a bullet to hit other than a pronghorn or yourself. How do you make yourself feel comfortable that another hunter is not directly on the other side of a buck to where you can be in each others line of fire, especially after seeing lots of other hunters in the area? Thank you
Is that a new Ford I seen
Randy why you like to hunt with 308 what's your secret about 308 and what barrel length for most your hunting rifles ?
Two words for you Randy….drywall stilts!
I think i likes when you and Marcus did videos. Man you talked about the first 16 minutes about nothing. Stay with the format you had ..
Now I know why I have a hard time drawing tags in my state...
Where did you live in Nevada? I’m from Gardnerville.
Lived in Carson City, went to college in Reno, worked at the old sawmill in Gardnerville. Did that drive every day for three years, then found a job in Reno after college.
Small world, when I worked at Sportmans warehouse I sold five Newberg pachages. 6.5 prc
i can not care less about antelope, but i just like to see Randy hunt, so i watch it anyway.
Randy house that Raptor compared to the Nissians ??
Great video, he is pretty for sure. Curious to why you wouldn't wear a camo orange hat with those other rigs running around in the same area. I know hunter orange is not required in Nevada, but for a hunt with some competition it is probably a good idea.
Good times = evil dreams. 😈
Anyone know what brand of hunting clothes he's wearing?? I like that camouflage pattern!!🤔🤔
Sitka
@@Ken4lscape Thanks!🤜🤛
What is underemphasized is the importance of the sandwich. Must have been a plain old PB&J back at the rig. If it were salami, the footage woulda been different…
26:43 Flagging works for geese! Nice try, Randy
New Truck??
Nissan sponsorship must’ve ended 😂
Never had a sponsorship with a truck company. I get to write a check, so I pick what I think works best for my money.
@@Fresh_Tracks I can get you a deal on a Fancy New Ram...
I have a fishing hat similar.😂 Riding my Harley might be more fun than antelope hunting…😉. Seriously, Good job not shooting.
Landowner tag what $5,000 to $10,000? I live IN Nevada and when you purchase a landowner tag you get to hunt the area in which the landowner is in not just the private but all that area. The rest of us have to do the draw.
Not those prices for pronghorn. I'm crazy about pronghorn, but not that crazy. Yes, you can hunt the private, but we don't.
No one can make a boring video better with commentary like you. The editing made this palatable fare. They had nothing to work with and made a video I liked watching. Your guys are good.
It's so smart to give landowners tags and let them sell them. Here landowners can get special licenses for hunting some species on their own land but that isn't enough. So many would like some critters taken but aren't hunters themselves.
I would HATE to put all that energy in, and get up that early, to watch YOU short a buck. LOLOLOL
i think if you had more gear you would of got him.
Did you say you bought the tag from a landowner? I thought the wildlife belonged to the public.
no (good) hunter should ever take a shot they are not comfortable with... and nice hat
OK Randy you are a HUNTER you are SUPPOSED to be wearing hunting clothes !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing to see here.....save time and move on
330 yards and you cant shoot free hand? Stand up
Hunting is cruel. Why kill an animal when you can go to grocery store or McDonald’s?
Lol 😆 🤣
Actually Randy prefers Dairy Queen, but they do not make Pronghorn samichies...
Vegan is actually Yiddish for poor hunter
Oh someone didn’t kill the cow in the hamburger at McDonald’s or the grocery store? Oh I see, we are now in the post truth era where all logic is gone. Keep believing your idiotic beliefs and enjoy your ignorance!
😂😂😂😂
