Great shot, congrats
great video guys well done.. always look forward to the new stuff put on
That's a beauty. Real nice stag
Awesome job!
Awesome shot Mike!
Nice bull guys. I would love to hunt one of those some day.
+Aaron Davidson . So, you never really talk about the rifle specs. I know you are using a Gunwerks Rifle, but what caliber and load are you using?
that was a great shot. what calibre and bullet did you use?
The Indians say hunt all the way in and all the way out ! They also say for every deer you see there are 10 you don't see. Have that weapon ready at all times,happy hunting!
good shootin i got my white tail this year at 610 using a sako 85 7mm rem mag and a night force g7 5.5x 22 scope shooting 162 grn hornady eld x bullets
stephen ferguson nice
thats a great setup.. I'm from Australia and own both remintons 700 in .308 and .300win mag.. my mate I hunt with owns 7mm and the massive exit wounds that caliber leaves in the wild hogs is awesome..
What's the matter, not enough skill to stalk in close enough to take an ethical shot...or are you just lazy?
@@leifhoklin2681 nope just well with in my practical range with great conditions no wind ect. Buck died instantly and fed my family
What caliber? 7mm rem mag? Muzzle brake?
How do you transport the elk though?
Backpack! Usually, with Elk and a Camp, three guys have 140 lb packs on the way out. The trick is to field butcher the elk and bone out all the meat.
aaah... :)
Aaron Davidson That still sounds like a lot of work. Lol
These are the videos of actually making a harvest. Can we see all the ones you guys have wounded taking long range shots like that?
I agree, attempting a 'harvest' at that range is dicey.
I believe the word you're looking for is "kill". We harvest wheat, corn, and beans, not deer. We kill deer...and I totally agree with you. Let's hunt ethically, and leave the trick shooting for range.
@@ronin6158 It's simply. He can shoot and you can't. Mike has to verify every rifle before shipping. That means he shoots regardless of rain, sleet, snow, and 100 degree weather. Rifles are shot out to 1000 yds before shipping. My longest kill shot on a whitetail is 1102 yds.
What caliber Mike ?!
Nobody wearing orange?
What caliber is that rifle?
7 LRM
u guys don't use hearing protection at around 20 minutes?
bert kraan we have done poorly in the past. We're more serious about it now. Electronic ears and suppressors!
Id like to have ine of those bad boys built in 7mmx338LM
That Elk like a lot of long range kills that drop immediately was a shot somewhere in the spine. Nobody on these long range kills shows the bullet impact. In this video there appears to be no bullet holes ANYWHERE in the kill zone. I’m sure at 925 yards you aren’t picking out a spot on the spine. So what I’m saying is this like a lot of loooooong shots includes some luck. Please be careful calling a shot outside the targeted kill zone that happens to hit something producing a fatal shot an excellent or great shot. Or maybe it was an excellent shot and stupid utube rules make you clean it up so no blood or gore. Anyhow I recognize that’s a heck of a shot and a nice Bull. Congratulations.
Aaron builds them. Mike shoots them.
I shot my cous buck at 776 yrds Rem 700 .300rum
what bullet would you use for moose hunting at 0-200 yards? 7mm rem mag of course. steyr mannlicher luxus:-)
best regards William from Sweden
willepadille7 I'm so about heavy for caliber, but at that distance I would also worry about expansion. 160 grains or more with an exposed lead or plastic tip. The new 175 ELD-X from Hornady is perfect.
so true and thinking now that the bullet companies know that hunting at long range is becoming more common and making bullets to perform at longer ranges.
+Aaron Davidson what twist rate do you have to have for that new 175 ELD-X?
I would go with a barnes tsx personally... something 160 gr or heavier as long as your barrel has the twist for it.
Archery hunter here, what's the closest you've been to take an animal?
When was the last time you were successful in hitting a target at 900+ yds or dropping an animal with 1 shot at that same distance... I'll wait....
@@andrewmiller1761 Afghanistan...2010
@@andrewmiller1761 if you think that any cartridge that is chambered in a rifle that is light enough for hunting in the field is capable of reliably killing large game at 900+ yards, you're sadly mistaken. It is impossible for you to know all of the variations of wind that could effect your bullet's flight at that range. At 900 yards, a clean kill involves a TON of skill...but even more luck. That's all well and good on the range. It's not appropriate in the field. Btw, the minimum energy figure that is most commonly excepted throughout the hunting community to cleanly and reliably kill elk is 1500 ft-lbs. Most cartridges are far below that at 900 years. Can a bullet with less energy drop an elk on the spot? Yes. Have elk been killed with .22s? Yes. Does that make hunting large game with underpowered weapons wise or acceptable? No!
Americans, blessed and loved by the living God.
Nice :)
A trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Alex Ernest definitely, I have been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Alex Ernest Yup, I have been using flixzone for since november myself =)
@Alex Ernest Definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :D
Really good until inappropriate cheap urban lounge music starting around 3 min; Other music not much better. Around 14:40 music barely Ok 15:50 again 17:30, not too obnoxious Bottom Line: minimize music, none best, or very low volume if you figure it contributes something that you feel is part of the story?.... My opinion certainly... but how many people would complain that there is no music, just the sounds of nature, the hunt, the excited comments of hunters... I actually skipped through, rather than watched the video, because of the music ... too bad as I love you guys!
Great shooting. I'm a long range hunter myself but it looks like you guys could've easily cut the distance more instead of shooting over th first ridge. Just my opinion but Either way great shooting.
Elkblood01 I can't count the number of times I thought, I can get a little closer.... and busted my chances! we tried to get a shot at 500, but Mike didn't want to shot from a sitting position. He was more confident in the longer shot prone.
Fair enough. Good shooting none the less! :)
Y'all have 3000 dollar rifle scopes and 300 binos.
Couldn’t get closer than that? Hmm lol
Not hunting.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Definitely not Ethical hunting.
Hunting is getting with in 350 yrds to make a ethical shot.
Shooting a elk or any animal beyond 400 yrds is jst killing. You are not ethical hunters.
Your inexperience is showing...
I hunt Utah public land. The terrain is very similar to this hunt. We hike in and even so encounter other hunters. We respect them if they get there ahead of us. Back off and Hunter the next drainage. I am 75 and hunt with my boys(men) we use binoculars and spotting scopes. The majority of our shots are 400+ to 930 yds in the past 15 years. Rarely have we been in bow range situations. We do bow hunt. However during rifle seasons getting close is with so many hunters is difficult to say the least. I am a retired disabled Marine Combat Veteran of Vietnam. We shoot allot at and in extreme terrain. Zero at 100 on the bench. For elk we adjust to a 300 zero. A month before leaving for the hunt we only shoot long range off of bipod prone and everything else off of backpacks and adjustable shooting sticks. We pair up as a shooter/spotter team. Range our target and time permitting fail up. However we use NF with holdover hash marks for fast shooting encounters. Practice and knowing your dope, rifle. and equipment makes the difference. We bone out the meat and backpack it out. Every shooting situation is different. Mike Davidson had awesome conditions with no wind. We'd take that shot every chance we get! Congratulations Mike.
925 really , better rifle than hunter , unethical , work in closer , this crap craze shooting game in another area code sucks , that's not hunting
I'm sure the next time they need some hunting advice, they will call you and ask.
Unethical?
If your confident in your shooting, absolutely take the shot.
I heard a hunter with a .30-06 start lobbing bullets at a herd in northwest new mexico, over a mile away just hoping one would fall. Drinking and smoking the whole time. That's unethical. He lives in Alabama now.
