ONE MORE DAY | A RIFLE ELK HUNT ON PUBLIC LAND | 4K | HEAVY HUNTS

- After already hunting for 15 strait days between 2 different states (which included packing my brothers bull 9 miles out), we decided to give this rifle elk draw tag hunt one more day before heading back home to WI. A decision that ended up paying off big! This hunt had all the ups and downs that make earning a big bull on public land feel so rewarding.
If this video gets 500 comments in the first 48 hours we will donate $200 to CRWM (Coloradan's for Responsible Wildlife Management) to help them with the fight on Colorado ballot initiative 91 where anti-hunters are attempting to ban Mtn. Lion, Bobcat, and Lynx hunting in Colorado.
If this channel can grow to 5000 subscribers by April 3, we will also giveaway a set of Peax Equipment Backcountry Z trekking poles and a Backcountry Duo headlamp to one person who leaves a comment and is a subscriber to this channel.
Also, all Heavy Hunts CZcams channel revenue over the next 30 days will be donated to RMEF to support their mission to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage.
Please subscribe and help this channel grow and we will continue to give back to organizations that care for hunters, hunting heritage, and conservation efforts.
Someone make this channel go viral, all the videos are top notch and the hunting is as real as it gets. Keep up the solid work!
Really appreciate this comment man! Thank you for the support.
I'm baffled how there isn't more views or subscribers. This quality is right up with the other top tier hunting channels
@@kylejohnson5876it’s a marketing game and I would be willing to bet 75% of the hunting content out there is staged or heavily edited to conform to sponsors wishes. Gotta sift through the bs to find hidden gems like this one!
I just saw this comment. Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot.
Awesome hunt to watch! Seeing the excitement on your father’s face and hearing it in his voice is amazing. Well deserved bull!
Thanks for the comment Greg. It’s very cool for us to have that moment captured on video forever!
Another great film! Good work. As an aging hunter myself, I relate to your father. As the years pass, the physical challenge increases. High respect!
Thanks for the comment. The mental toughness becomes all the more important as the years go by. He is yet to turn me down on a request to go deeper into the backcountry though!
Awesome hunt. Love the video. Father and son hunts you can’t beat them.
Once again another killer film, so fortunate to share these memories with you Dad!
Thanks for following us! Appreciate the comment!
I came to this video anticipating my first elk hunt this fall. I have been searching the internet for experiences, gear reviews, and preparation tips. This video was fantastic!!! You made you feel like I was right there on the hunt with you. Congratulations on your harvest-great teamwork. Kudos on a great video.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I was really trying to post a new gear dump video before elk season but time just slipped away from me. If you have any specific questions feel free to reach out. Good luck this fall and let me know if you get your first Elk!
Love what your doing! It’s people like you that allow all of us to continue to do what we all love while also allowing the land and animals to thrive. Thank you!
I’m just trying to do a small part. Hopefully I can do more if the channel continues to grow. Hopefully spreading the words helps also! Appreciate the comment!
Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you! You are spot on with your comments about hunting legislation!!!! Keep up the good work!!! And keep the videos rolling on 😊😊😊
👍🏼 thanks man, appreciate the comment! Hopefully next video will be spring bear!
"I tipped him over! Holy shit" that was great. Watched it four times and I can't stop smiling for him. Great hunt guys!
Haha, thanks for watching. It took awhile for us to stop smiling also!
Wow your pops can shoot.Just watched him shoot a great archery bull and now a 622yard bull.Congrats.Heavy Hunts is top notch.Thanks for sharing.
As a Colorado Native & fellow Conservationist, could not agree more about the negative impacts that the introduction of wolves is having on the ecosystem. Banning the harvest of Mountain Lions, Bobcats & any other predator is counterproductive on many levels. Instead of banning the hunting of apex predators, Fish & Game should ban the sale of unlimited over the counter tags. The overpopulation of people in the woods during the fall harvest is detrimental to the quality of hunting, puts increased pressure on game & it creates unmitigated wear & tear on the land.
Keep up the good work, we as Conservationists need to stick together & continue to advocate for our rights to manage the game that God has provided for us!
😎🤙🇺🇸
Thanks for the comment. I grew up in Northern WI and have seen the effects of unmanaged wolves first hand. I’m scared for Colorado over the next decade. I’m not completely anti-wolf but when you can’t control the numbers because of politics and emotion it’s detrimental to all other species that provide thousands of lbs of meat to people every year. This initiative would just be the start, if it goes through. The problem is that most people that would vote on the issue would only read the 2 sentence headline written by anti-hunters and not be educated on the overall effects that would certainly be harmful to many other species. Not to mention the hundred of thousands of dollars that parks and wildlife would lose out on (read the fiscal impact statement) that is used for conservation. I could go on and on but thank you for the comment!
Loved the scenery and the wildlife! You're getting better each time with your editing skills, too. Glad your Dad was able to get such a nice bull. I am always impressed with how far you guys are willing to go for a good animal.
Thanks for the comment Julie. The journey of the hunt is half the fun!
Just goes to show how much work goes into these hunts! Another fantastic film 👍🏻 fantastic B Roll too. Love how this film shows not to get down on yourself, and give up after one option fails!
Awesome video! Great shot Jeff! Looking forward to the next one.
Well done loved your first video!
Adam and Jeff, another great hunt! This one was not only done well (again) but also had some extra excitement with the bears. I'm sure you guys were looking for momma bear to appear. Very nice Bull and showing the reality of what it takes.
Thanks for following the channel and commenting David. We think they must have been last year’s cubs but we definitely had our eyes peeled looking for a mama.
I appreciate your efforts in the proper way to manage the big game efforts in Colorado. You’re doing an outstanding job. Keep up the good work. David.
Thank you, really appreciate the comment!
Great Video, one of the better ones by far I have seen. What a wonderful memory you tow have to always share. I think of my Dad when I watched this, though we never had the chance to hunt or fish together, it sure makes me wish we had that chance, but he fell victim to the brown bottle flu, while now at 65 I still hunt and fish. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Patrick! It’s been fun creating the films for memories to look back on.
Very quality film. Thank you for sharing it. Represents the realities of hunting. Congratulations.
Thanks for watching!
Keep up the good fight! Hunting is conservation and we all need to push to be better as well as support other states in the fight against those who are trying to take it away. And thanks for continuing to put out quality videos!
👍🏼 Spot on! Thanks for following us!
Super cool hunt! Good job capturing it on film to share.
I love the interaction between you and your dad, especially right before the shot. Reminds me of me and my dad. Great on you for donating funds to those great organizations. I hope other channels and hunting/fishing/outdoor media groups do the same. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment! After 16 days in confined spaces together we were telling it pretty strait to each other at the end. It was awesome to have it come together like that. The donations might be small in the grand scheme of things but hopefully it brings some awareness also!
Sorry the comment goal fell short. Thanks for still making the generous donation. 👍
Awesome! Hope someday I can have a hunt like that with my son!
Love your efforts to support all hunters!
Thanks for the comment. I believe we need to stick together regardless if its trapping, long range, recurve, etc. If we don’t stick together, they will take everything, slowly but surely.
Keep up the great content. Thank you for being a strong supporter of the hunting community and the things that matter. Not quite 500 comments but it would be worth giving anyways. 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I donated the $200 this morning 😉. I plan to post a CZcams short and an Instagram post later today just updating anyone who follows the channel. Thanks for your comment!
@@heavyhunts 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Well done Sir. Very cool. I truly respect your decision. Keep it up.
congratulations nice Bull , hope you make your goal of 5000, a hard won Bull
Stellar video and always enjoy feeling like I'm on the hunt there!
Thanks for your efforts, I am 62 years old and I fear that the future of hunting will be vastly different for the younger generations like yourself.
Indeed. Better camouflage for the 600 yard hunt. Hmmmmm
I agree. I have twin 4 year old girls and I want these opportunities to be around for them and future generations!
Enjoyed the film. Thanks for making this and bringing awareness. I have been as well getting everyone I know to sing up to Howl for wildlife. Another great advocates for hunters.
👍🏼 I think a big movement is happening. Which is great because we need it right now and for the future!
Heck ya guys! Looks like a awesome hunt in some awesome country. Can't wait for this coming fall. Hoping to have a good tag. Good luck this year can't wait for the next films.
Thanks for the comment. Good luck this fall and I hope the draw gods are good to you! 🙂
Awesome video. I love the struggle you guys go through and still stay mentally strong and stick it, lack of food and seeing those bulls you were chasing getting harvested from under you. Way to stick it out and grind. It's great to see you and your dad together as well. Cant wait to get my sons out there. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the comment Chris. It can be hard to stay positive on some hunts but both of us go into these hunts knowing that quitting early is not an option. I feel like that is very important in a hunting partner especially when you’re a thousand or more miles from home and 6 miles into the mountains! Thanks for watching! Good luck with your boys when they are able to tag along!
Can I comment multiple times? You create quality content and appreciate your support of hunting organizations.
Absolutely man I appreciate that. I don’t think we’re gonna hit the 500 comment mark in 48 hours but I’m gonna donate anyway. I appreciate all the comments and support from everyone so far!
Another great hunt. Congratulations Jeff .
Thank you, Joe.
Good to hear from you.
Thanks for the comment Joe!
A couple of flatlanders getting it done! Nice work!@
Awesome adventure. Good luck with getting to 500.
Appreciate the comment!
Thank you for both the content and the continued support for hunting rights!
Absolutely. Thanks for following us!
As a fellow WI resident that recently went on his first Elk hunt in 23 in Montana, I love watching and learning from your videos. Though it was a guided outback hunt I went on, your videos make me want to try tackling a DIY hunt sometime in the future. Unfortunately, my dad has MS and would never be able to do a hunt with me like you guys do. It is awesome seeing your dad out there with you, and I imagine that should make these hunts that much more memorable. Some of my fondest memories with my dad were made while hunting in Northern WI. I just wish I would've gotten into mountain hunting earlier in life when my dad was still well enough to do them with me. I always look forward to watching your new videos. Thanks for sharing your memories with all of us!
The first couple western hunts are the hardest. I’m sure you learned a ton from your outfitted hunt but if you think you will make western hunting a regular thing, I highly suggest trying DIY. The first few years are hard but you learn so much and once you figure it out, it seems to get so much “easier” and you regularly start to find success. I’m sure your dad would still love to live vicariously through your hunting stories. I have been thinking about offering a weekend class here in WI to teach some aspects of western hunting. I’m no expert but I feel like I have enough experience now to share some knowledge to newer western hunters (e-scouting, application strategies, gear info, food planning, etc). Thanks for the comment.
Top notch film and great message! Keep up the work!!
Appreciate the comment man, thank you!
Jeff is one tough SOB. Now, I don’t want to call him “old” but to go in there and do that kind of hunt at that age is very impressive! Well done guys!
He does things I know most of my 30 year old friends wouldn’t. I never have to question if he is willing to go to the next ridge! Thanks for the comment!
Awesome hunt and incredible footage. I can’t wait for the next hunt.
Thanks for following us! Glad you enjoyed!
Great hunting video! We enjoyed everything. Beautiful landscape, great music, and cool to see the hunting equipment in use. The video was great at showing the highs and lows...other hunters getting the bulls first that you were tracking, the surprise bear cubs on the bottom flats, and congrats to Jeff getting the bull in the end! Great to see your support of hunting!
congrats on another good hard earned bull and memory filled hunt.
Thanks for following us!
The bear interaction was epic!
Haha thanks, those little buggers really wanted to head the same direction we were headed 😂
I was thinking, man I hope he doesn’t have to shoot the little guy and ruin his elk hunt.
Just found your channel. Watched the spring bear hunt with your dad and brother. Great videos. I wish you had gotten your 500 comments in 48 hours. I hope you decide to support the efforts to save Mountain Lion hunting in Colorado anyway. God Bless.
Thanks for the comment man. I did donate anyway (I posted a CZcams short with that update). The purpose of the comments was to try and have the CZcams algorithm recommend the video to more people to help spread the word about the initiative and the channel. Glad you’re enjoying the content!
Yeah I get the algorithm. I’ve got an extremely small channel. I’ve got some buddies with successful channels.
Thanks for trying to shed a good light on hunting!
Appreciate the comment.
Super cool film! Congratulations!
Thanks for the comment!
Loved the hunt and video! Also appreciate the attention to the anti hunting movements. I'm just an average Joe but am paying more attention and donating to the cause.
I think a movement is happening where more hunters are starting to pay attention, especially out west, and nonresident and resident hunters are starting to develop a common voice to stand up and support each other regardless where the attacks on hunting are happening. Thanks for the comment and glad you subscribed 🙂
Great to see you helping spread the word about these great organizations
Just trying to play a small part in the movement. Appreciate the comment!
What an adventure! Awesome work.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment!
Your dads reaction to the shot was awesome! Another great video! It’s great to see how your channel has evolved. Agreed,There is way too many politics getting involved with hunting and conservation. You bringing light to that through your channel is commendable! I’m excited to see the next one!
Let’s get these comments rolling! Always love the content and support your new ideas fully!
Appreciate the comment! Thanks for following us!
Awesome Hunt! Keep making memories, and without good wildlife management that is the only way it will continue. So lets help get this out there!!
Appreciate the comment. Getting the general public to understand that hunting is conservation should be so simple, but it’s so hard.
Awesome content! Thank you for supporting the hunting community!
Great video as always. I love the message your trying to get out there. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for following us and leaving a comment!
Another great video. What a shot! I like the longer video. Now get out there and make another.😊
Spring bear in early May is next! And turkey around here of course. Thanks for watching!
Good job representing all of us other folks who hunt positively! Love your videos and the hard work you all put in. Happy hunting!
Thank you. We do our best to represent hunting in a good light.
Great video. Thanks for helping with Colorado and all states fight for hunting.
Absolutely. The donations might not be super impactful but hopefully it brings some additional awareness!
Dig the film and the realism!
Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching!
Congrats guys great hunt! I really enjoy your films very high quality, great job.
Thanks for following us! Appreciate the comment!
Congratulations on the big bull Jeff! It was well worth the wait!
Thanks for the comment Chad!
You guys do tremendous work! Skillful and professional and respectful. No silly grip and grin stuff just hard, honest hunting. :)
Appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoy our stuff!
Really NICE shot! Holy cow (or bull)!!
Nicely done. Thanks for bringing awareness to the wildlife management concerns going on in Colorado.
Absolutely. Thanks for the comment!
Fantastic film as always!!
Thanks for the comment Scott! Look forward to watching some of your spring turkey hunts in a few months!
Good job nothing better then making memories
Appreciate the comment! Thank you
Great job! Awesome video and thanks for helping!
Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching!
Wow, well done, guys! Thank you for sharing! Enjoyed it all!
Thanks for the comment Lee!
Thank you for supporting hunting!
Absolutely, thanks for the comment!
Great film. The longer the better. Thanks for fighting to protect our hunting traditions.
Absolutely. Glad you enjoy the longer films! Sometimes I feel it deters folks from clicking on it if they see it’s over 20-30 minutes. But it’s impossible for me to cut a 7 day film down to 20 minutes. I just feel like it doesn’t truly represent the hunt. Thanks for the comment!
@@heavyhunts If folks can sit through a 2 hour Marvel movie they can stomach 50 minutes of an elk hunt. Different strokes for different folks, but I like seeing the food, stove, sleep pad, and all the nuance that goes into these hunts. I hunt the way you do so I like the additional background content for tricks, tips, and tactics.
Watching from PA. I really enjoy your content. Enjoy all this time with your dad. He’s doing a phenomenal job.
I definitely have been! We have made some amazing memories together. Having the channel has actually given us an excuse to hunt together a little bit more than we probably otherwise would have! Thanks for the comment!
Rokslide brought me here. Nice shot! That's a real reaction. Great hunt!
Very cool. Through a post on the forum?
What a shot!!
Congrats !! Beautiful bull !!! Always love having just one more day. Great video
One more day never hurts! Thanks for the comment.
Awesome video as always. Great job!
Thanks for following us!
Way to make a difference! Well done!
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the support Colorado is at war right now. Great video thanks for the great content.
Huge wildlife impacts on the line right now.
Really great job on the video. Hard earned bull for sure. Your dad’s reaction after dropping the bull in his tracks was awesome! Congrats on another great video!
Thanks for the comment! Enjoyed your sheep hunt video a few months ago also!
🙏🏻👊🏻
Great hunt with your Dad. Memories forever!
Appreciate the comment!
Have really enjoyed all your videos. Reminds me of our groups efforts out west. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment Brian. Glad you can relate to the hunts! Hope it brought back some good memories!
Great hunt! Congrats
Congrats Jeff! Well deserved bull.
Thanks for the comment Troy!
Good cause. Hunt for life.
Congratulations on an awesome bull. What I'd give to have one more day hunting with my dad.
Thanks for the comment. It’s been special having these films to relive with each other.
As always great job with informing the public and your dedication to these causes that impact us hunters. Always look forward to a video drop.
Thanks for the comment. The donations might not be much but hopefully some additional awareness of current issues helps!
Great film. Keep up the hard work
Appreciate the comment!
Well done!
Keep up the good work!
So sweet!!!
Keep up the good fight im a non resident who comes elk hunting but also enjoy the colorado landscape
Appreciate the comment!
True grit … congratulations guys to a job well done
Yet another great film!! Fun to watch!
Nice job and great story.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the comment!
Great video, appreciate the conservation aspect.
Thanks for the comment!
Great job guys
I love your long format hunting films and hope you keep creating them! Also, that was an am amazing shot.
Glad people seem to enjoy the longer films. As long as I feel like I have exciting/relevant footage that tells the story without boring people I will continue the longer format stuff. Thanks for the comment!
Always enjoy the humbleness of these videos! Looked like a tough but fulfilling hunt.
Thanks for the comment. There’s something special about really earning the animal. You are correct, it was tough at times but that’s what makes it so fulfilling! Thanks for following us!
Awesome content!!!!
Thought I was already subscribed but I wasn't. Just fixed that! I've enjoyed several of your videos.
Eraboy cowboy!!!!🎉
