I have three daughters, too. 5, 4, and 1. And I totally know the feeling of getting home after a long hunt, and sharing those stories and the complete love that overwhelms you. Congrats on a beautiful family, and a pretty great bull.
Thank you, sir. They are my greatest accomplishment in life. Thanks for watching!
@@MuleyFreak I love your stuff; itâs always so well put together! And if you wanna see my little ones trampin around the woods, check out the muskrat / beaver trapping stuff on my channel!
Dude, that scene where you go home and your adorable daughters are excited about the antlers is the best. Love seeing stuff like thatđđ»
Thanks Landon! Erik loves those little girls of his!!!
âWith the fresh 200 dollars in my pocketâ đđđ
Hey! Free money is free money! đ
LOLOLOL
Im not a shit eater but 200 bucks is 200 bucks :D
@@vault8827 my thoughts exactly!
@@MuleyFreak uuuuuuuup
When you have been putting in for the same tag for 20 years and still waiting... this is super inspirational!
Don't ever give up! Stick with it!
Good luck!
I've been putting in for 36 years for a Moose tag and still waiting.
@@antelopehunter2810 Damn! Utah?
Man, good memories flooding back after watching! What a bull!
Thanks for helping out and being a part of the epic adventure!
There is a reason it's once in a lifetime. What a memory!
Perfect timing, I drew a Colorado shiras bull moose tag this year. 4 more weeks!
No way! You lucky dog. Good for you!!!
What a toad. Great job! I love that you hav3 a core group of quirky friends that are willing to not only help but enjoy it!
Thanks for tuning in, man!
Thanks for watching!
Great hunt! Glad you stretched it out and enjoyed a long, intense once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks for having us along!
There's nothing like grinding it out on a once in a lifetime type of hunt. Thanks for watching, S!
Brings back some great memories from my once in a lifetime Idaho bull moose hunt. Great hunt guys and congrats on a stud bull!
Thatâs awesome, man! Heck yeah!
There's nothing quite like hunting Shiras moose in the lower 48!
Shoot em till they drop demonstrated perfectly here. Nerves of steel my man đ€đœđ€đœ
Amen, brother! Thanks for watching, Dylan!!!
Amen to that, man! Thanks for watching!
Will definitely have to incorporate some of the calls this year you and Payton were doing. Also chuckled pretty hard âwith the fresh 200 dollars in my pocketâ! Congrats on the moose Erik! Great team effort!
LOL. Yeah, we're pretty novice moose hunters when it comes to calling. Thanks for watching, Danny.
Ha ha. We all need to go to a moose calling seminar.
I'd say you said it best about the team work from your priceless friends and fellow hunters. Great work guys, that's an amazing bull.
We 100% agree with that sentiment. This hunt was a special memory shared my all those involved!
It was an amazing experience!
â@Muley Freak especially nice to have them around when that tacoma is getting 11 miles to the gallon average!!! Damn!!! Have them pitch in on fuel!!!
A true beast and true friends it took to get the job done. Priceless. Congratulations!
Thanks for watching, Jean!
Haha! What absolute GOLD! Funny and incredible footage of a ton of different moose. Great job getting it done! Well done!
LOL. Glad you enjoyed it, man! It was a great time!
Always look forward to new content and the OG's are always great, but it was good to see the "Beast Master" Nick back. You were one Tyler short of an All-Star cast!
It was nice to have âBeast Masterâ make an appearance!
Thanks for tuning in, man!
Man this reminds me of some hunts with buddies from past seasons, dudes bein dudes in the woods havin lots of fun and creating some awesome memories, amazing video guys!
At the end of the day that's what it is all about. Friends enjoying each other's companies putting in work on the mountain!
Another GREAT hunt. Love that you took your time to find that giant!!!!!
Thanks, brother! We had an unforgettable hunt.
He was definitely well worth the wait. Thanks for tuning in!
awesome video and 1 hell of a once in a life time moose congrats to all of you and thanks for taken along
Thanks for watching Kurt! One of the best parts is being able to film and share it with everyone.
I loved that persistence paid off big time
Thanks for watching Colter, patience is key on hunts like this!
What a great bull! I hope to draw for Utah moose in the next 4-5 years. Fingers crossed I can tag a brute like that! Congrats, and well done!
Thanks, Noel. Best of luck to you!
What an awesome bull looks like alot of work of the the best kind. EpicđŻ
The best kind of work for sure! Thnx for watching!
Awesome hunt!!! Super impressed with your patience, glad it paid off in such an awesome way!

Thanks for watching, Daniel!!!
Awesome video guys! Definitely got me stoked for my sons hunt this fall. Congrats on a true once in a lifetime bull Erik.
Thanks, Paul!
Thank you, Paul! Good luck this Fall with your son!
That was such an awesome video. U guys did an awesome job and really enjoyed it. Awesome Moose and glad to see u got to see so many to choose from.
Thanks for the feedback, buddy! Good luck this year!
That was my favorite so far from send it series just straight badass!
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for watching it!
Can't wait until I get the chance to hunt a moose! Great job guys!
Thanks Ryan, when you get too, hold out for a big boy!
Great episode boysđđ Huge bucket list hunt for me
Thanks for watching, bro!
Catch you on the next episode!
I was literally LOLing watching the sounds you we making to try and get that moose out of bed! đđ€Ł Awesome video boys!!! I wanna hunt with you guys so bad. It just seems like a great time.
LFG, bro!
For sure, man! Take care!
What a crazy and amazing hunt/experience!!! Congrats to all and what an awesome bull!!
Thanks, Lane! We had a blast!
Thanks, buddy!
another awsome adventure! great show! you guys got a good thing going for sure! we dont have that many moose anymore here in central idaho . i saw 1 cow and a calf in 20 days of deer hunting this past season. pretty sad. Congradulations and keep the shows coming!
Thanks for watching, Frank!
Congratulations man! Great bull!
Thank you đ
Wow dedication! Love the energy guys
Thank you, buddy!
Man I canât believe the size of that bull! And the rodeo at the end! Crazy cool video
Heâs a giant, man! Truly once in a lifetime!
He's a tank! A truly awesome specimen! Thanks for watching!
I may have said it before but I think itâs funny how you always see what youâre not looking for. On a moose hunt you see a ton of deer and elk but come the elk tag itâs a mission to try to find them đ
Man oh man. Isn't this just the downright truth! Crazy how this happens!
It's funny how that works out sometimes!
Bada$$ dude stellar bull! It was cool seeing all the boyz together on that hunt that I bet made that hunt even more memorable! Never disappointing watching your guys content keep it up fellas!đđ€đŻ
Thanks, brother! We had a blast in the field together taking down a moose as a unit. Good good times!!!
We appreciate the support, brother!
My once in a lifetime Shiras bull moose hunt starts 9/15 in Idaho!!!! Congrats on an awesome bull!
No way! You lucky sucker! Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
@@MuleyFreak will do!
Haha!!!! You ate the shit!!!! "With a fresh 200 bucks In my pocket!"
Ha ha. $200 is $200 ;)
'with the first $200 in my pocket 'đ
Man every time I watch your videos I get so excited for season to start!!
Heck yeah! That's what we like to hear! Good luck to you this year!
@@MuleyFreak thanks brother! Same to you đ
Thanks for watching!
Great video great hunt really enjoyed congrats thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Mike. We appreciate you watching!
Thanks!
Enjoyed the hunt and your skill and patience.
Thanks for tuning in, Ronald. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel!
That bull barely flinched when hit with what 3or 4 shots. What a tough beautifully animal! Nice team effort. Keep em coming guys.
Thanks, Dennis. Moose can take a beating!
Actually pretty underwhelming performance for such a big gun!!! Not the best restbit looked like....maybe a couple misses?
Good work guys. Awesome film!
Thanks, buddy! We appreciate the support!
I wanna get into this kinda hunting, moose or deer. Now, I can't digest meat due to a stomach condition I was born with.. But I'd gladly donate the meat to someone who needs it and I'd probably end up using the antlers for knife handles as I'm a blacksmith. Stunning moose my man, what a stud he is.
Sorry to learn your condition. Thanks for watching Erik's shiras moose adventure! It was an epic one!
I enjoyed THE SCENE the most. Cool hunt. Can't wait for my turn to hunt moose.
What scene is âthe sceneâ haha
We hope you get to do it one day, brother!
Congrats on the bull moose! I enjoyed nicks shot of the rack on top of the Toyota!
Thanks for watching!
Dude, what an amazing hunt. Seeing all those amazing animals is so cool. So bummed I didn't get to help out on this one.
Next time, bro!
Next time! It wasn't as fun as it looked haha đ jk it was pretty fun
Love your videos. Good job!
Thanks for watching, Mike!
Thanks for watching, Mike, and thanks for the kind words.
Helluva bull Erik!! Congrats bud!!
Thanks, man!! đŻ
Thanks for watching, Jeff! :)
@@erikvanwoerkom1896 look forward to every video! Bought a couple hats from you guys last spring in 2020 n worn one of em for my mule deer hunt since its fitting!
@@Zombiemma88 Heck yeah, man! We appreciate the support!
Thatâs one heck of a bull dude congratulations!
Thanks Collin, we know Erik's happy with him!
Awesome video and I am very impressed being a guide myself at how a group of guys could walk away from so many choices of bulls, many guys making a film like this would have taken one of the other easier bulls and edited their video in a way that made it look like one of the smaller bulls was just the right bull they were looking for!,lol, You guys had a mindset and stuck to it! Great stuff!
Thanks for the kind words, brother! Erik has his mind set on something special. Appreciate your comment.
Staying down wind when hunting always works for me. I've hunted for elk moose and sheep in my state. One thing I know about moose and elk they like bedding down during the day and get moving before evening. Evenings have always been good for me. I shot my first bull moose with a 257 Robert's. One shot through the heart. Moose don't go down easily. If you have snow use it to your advantage when packing out meat. We use a snow toboggan. One thing I was wondering don't you guys gut out the animal first? It really helps cool the meat down faster. Nice bull by the way. I live right by some of the best hunting area in Wyoming. Been hunting for 41 years. Elk hunting is my favorite hunt.
Sweet as bull bro awesome hunt as well never want them to end but on a bull like for sure.... 300 norma is the boom
300 Norma went to town on this old bull. Thanks for watching!
Awesome hunt. For a epic bull.
Thanks, Kevin!!
Thanks for tuning in!
That was a fun video to watch! I hope to draw a moose tag soon! Such a cool bull. Congrats! #kryptek is the best as well
Thanks for watching! đ
Thank you!
That's a stud good job
Thanks, Cain.
Great content thank you for sharing! Also we need you to bring back the Muley Freak flex fit hats dang I need a new one!
Ha ha. Yeah, we do...I've considered getting that cap going again!
Will do - thank you for watching!
Impressive. Good job
Thanks for watching, James!
Congrats man! What an awesome hunt!
Thanks, buddy! Much appreciated.
Thanks, Chase!
Great hunt, and what a great family you have dude!

Sick bull
Thanks, Brian!
Thanks for watching!
Epic Hunt!
Thanks, man. I hope youâre well.
Thanks for watching!
Great hunt! It still amazes me that animals that big love to live in the thickest shit around
It's crazy how well these big animals can hide!
"With a fresh $200 in my pocket, we continued looking for moose." hahaha
Ha ha. Exactly!
Great video loved it congratulations
Thanks for watching, Dale.
Thanks so much!!
bad ass guys!!
Thanks for watching, Chris.
I enjoyed watching the whole process, the blown stocks to you tagging out with that beautiful moose. And the clip of you and your family holding the paddles was priceless, should be your profile pic. Keep up the good content and congratulations.
Za try yyyyyt )6 a week jn
Tiff is to o
T.
Thanks, buddy!
It's those hunts where we give it our all, grind it out, and earn it that we most remember! Thanks for watching!
Man awesome bull man congrats and I canât believe all the sheds you guys found I know itâs Utah but what unit
Thanks for watching, Russell.
Awesome hunt! I'm sitting on 12 moose points in Utah, so hoping to draw sometime before I die. Ha
Haha. Sad to say, but you might be in for the long haul
Keep applying, brother!
Iâve got 25 points and been shooting my 65# recurve staying ready when if finally draw, great bull
Good luck, Jeff!
Awesome video, one of these days when I draw my moose, hopefully i get one close to yours
He's an all timer in terms of Shiras moose! So if you could get one like him I'd be super pumped for you!
Fingers crossed!
@@erikvanwoerkom1896 what was his final score
@@sterlingwilkey2124 roughed it out at 176"
@@MuleyFreak dang
Good job on your moose
Thank you, sir. đ
Thanks for watching!
wicked hunt. Now I understand when Alaskans think my BC northwestern moose are small cause that big Shiras is cute haha.
Haha. Yeah, our arenât near as big!
That last scene is what really made this video. I had to stop it 2 times so I could go pee while watching it, I like these longer 2 pee videos! And everyone acting all shy like they don't eat the booty. Easiest way to get $200 in your pocket that I can think of! đ€
đđ
LOL. It was a grind. Thanks for watching, Marcus!
Such an amazing hunt! What state did you hunt it in? Definitely a hint of a lifetime! Congrats on the amazing bull!
Thanks for watching, buddy!
Thanks for watching!
Utah
First congrats on the moose.
And I feel you on how a big bodied animal can act like you are not even hitting them, in how they respond to the shot.
My 1400+ lb Buffalo, just stood there like I was slinging a spit wad and not a bonded 30 cal. Bullet lol.
Same result though. A moment that seemed longer than I am sure it was . Stumbled and down they go.
Cheers and happy hunting this season
*_These bigger ungulates are able to soak up a lot of lead. Thanks for sharing your experience!_*
Way to hold out! Itâs hard to pass on nice animals. CongratsâŠ
Thanks, man! It paid off in the end.
It was a test of patience for sure!
Seems like a good thing Aaron was there to spot everything haha. Congrats on getting a sweet moose!
LOL. Erik's the one who sent Aaron over there to look! LOL. He will feel good about your comment though. He reminds Erik daily.
LOL. He likes to remind me! Believe me!
Whatâs your service provider, I swear you have service everywheređđ
Verizon is the best 9X out of 10.
7 points towards my Montana moose and probably 20+ to go. Hereâs hoping!
They are not easy to draw!
Nice scarf! Iâm just hating cause Iâm jealous.
LOL. It's warm!
What isn't to like about a moose hunt. That thing is a stud. Was this Utah or Idaho? You can message me privately. Once again patience pays off. How do you like moose meat? It definitely tastes different than any other game I've had. Still delicious. Great job guys!
Thanks, buddy!
It was Utah
Freakin stud OIL shiras, congrats!
Thanks, buddy. He's an absolute tank of a Shiras.
Thanks for watching, buddy!
I haven't yet found a good recipe for antlers. đ
haha neither have we, but usually bigger antlers means more meat at least! đ
Incredible film man, congrats on the bull! What unit was this?
Thanks for watching, Stantson. I hope you're well.
Great hunt you lucky bugger!
Ha ha. Better be lucky than good, right, Dan!?
@@MuleyFreak I'll take lucky over being good any day. Great bull!
@@danpickar5442 100%, man! Let's hope for a lot of luck this fall.
Once in a while a blind squirrel gets an acorn! ;)
I know I'm late to the comments here, new subscriber. I'm wondering how that 225 eldm performed. Obviously put him toes up, just curious how that bullet acted. I'll be moose hunting this fall and I've got a pet load in my 300 rum with the 225 eldm that I'm considering using. Any idea what impact velocity was? Hit any big bones? Any info would be appreciated. I've killed a bunch of deer and elk with the eldm in various calibers, just nothing as tough and heavy as moose. Love the content by the way, keep it coming.
I wonder what year this was, and what unit. My father-in-law had a Wasatch tag last year. We had the hardest time finding any Moose. The tree's had kept all their leaves til the end of the hunt. We saw a few small bulls, but the big bulls just weren't there. So it's crazy you guys are seeing so many bulls, and how decent they are.
Bummer to hear! Did you guys end of killing a moose?
@@MuleyFreak Yeah. He was able to harvest a decent Moose. A lot bigger than anything we had seen.
What is the song in the opening of this video? I cannot for the life of me figure it out.
Should be in the bottom of the CZcams description.
Can you please provide some measurements from this bull? I drew my once in a lifetime Colorado tag and am researching and preparing. I know score isn't everything, but I want to hunt hard and look over a lot of bulls. I'll pass some up for the right bull worthy of the tag. My guesses: 46" wide, 33"L x 9"W paddles, maybe 18 points, and 6.5 bases = 161 gross?
51â wide.
9 days, patience is key folks
It's an attribute that is learned for sure! Thanks for watching!
Nice bull man! Hope that $200 was worth it đđđ
Ha ha. Thanks. So worth it!
So worth the $200!
Hell ya guys, bad ass!! Mind sharing the unit? I been putting in wasatch but might switch to north slope
Thanks for watching and best of luck! Lots of great units! IN fact, I don't think there's a bad one.
My friend almost died from eating cow poop as a challenge.
Ooooof well hoepfully he's okay now!
200 bucks is 200 bucks

What caliber of a rifle were you using
.300 Norma, we have a video with the whole build on our channel!
Epic bull!
With you being Ogden boys..what are your thoughts on the cinnamon creek block of state ground being sold after this year?
Iâm pretty bummed about it myself as I have lots of hunting/camping/outdoor memories up there ever since I was a little kid.
Not sure I know about that!?
@@erikvanwoerkom1896 yes sir! It sucks. Iâve been hearing rumors about it so I contacted the state and they said itâs a for sure thing. Could be sold as soon as November
