All I can say is that Eric and the rest of Team Hush hunt so hard on all of the tags that they get. They might not always tag out but the put in all of the work to get a chance to tag out. I just love their dedication to giving us great videos of their hunting trips.
Eric,
Never met you, probably never will.I am a SE Whitetail hunter for 40 years and 319 whitetail compound bow kills, almost all public. (Not that I wouldn't buy you a beer.)
But that bull at the water hole HURT!!! I felt it. Been there, done that with big whitetails.
But then, if it was easy to bow hunt, nobody would gun hunt!
GREAT SERIES!
Man that was an awesome series, really enjoyed the footage. You managed to capture the humbling nature of an unsuccessful hunt, just felt real genuine. I almost threw in the towel on my mule deer hunt this year after so many fruitless miles hiked, groups of deer bumped and spooked but managed to pull it together right at the end. I'm definitely novice in this lifestyle but to experience the full spectrum of emotions on a hunt has drawn me in more than ever before and I feel like you've captured alot of that in this episode. Lookin forward to future content!
You totally captured the moment when the bill got out of there at the water hole. I know that feeling well and I felt your anguish. I was there with you.
I tell you, this are the hunt's i love...not every hunt end's with an elk, but this hunt motivates to come back and try again! Also for me, cutting my Videos is the time, going back and remember every second of the hunt..only one word "great"! Best wishes from Austria/Europe and the #woodwalkerwildlifeandhunting team
I’ve been hunting elk in Colorado, I live in Midwest, for 33 years now, public ground OTC. Unfortunately now at 66 I’m not able to run and gun as I used to. I can certainly relate to infilled tags. Eric, I am living the rush/grind/ adventure through you. Thanks for the great video and kudos to your tenacity.
Got any suggestions on units for DIY archery OTC?
@@davidsbielawski Elk are literally everywhere in CO..... My best advice is to pick a few areas & visit them in the summer and get a feel for the land. & Don't worry about seeing other people - Colorado has been flooded with hikers and backpackers for decades now... Hunters are small in numbers compare to them.
We as elk hunters know all to well how frustrating it is to be in that situation and not have a shot. I truly believe that allowing that animal to walk instead of rushing that shot or just not having a good shot is the best choice. Hate it when your friends or even family say oh yeah I would have made that shot. Sorry just can't do it. Being ethical about it and not letting that elk suffer to me is the goal. Great job Eric. Again love the series.
Some of the greatest videos are the ones that show us the defeats. Love every video you make EC, can’t wait to see the next one!!!
Man Eric, Loved that Colorado series as this is my home state man. Your trials and ups and downs you show it all, the grit and grime. My pops told me a long time ago you know there are never failures in life only lessons! If you treat a failure like a lesson and learn from it, it'll never get you again. You learned some lessons on this Colorado trip and look forward in the coming years to the Colorado Redemption series. Make it happen brother! May your arrows fly straight and your bullets hit hard! Good Luck Brother!
I can relate to this hunt more than most. Three times in Colorado OTC w close calls, always by cow calls, w no meat. Learned a lot. g

Of course I'm still watching. I watched every minute of this video. It reminded me of the majority of my hunts. LOL I love the videos that Hushin and Born and Raised make. Health and finances prevent me from getting out there anymore, and I miss deer/elk camp terribly. Since I came across Hushin videos and later Born and Raised, I have been able to live vicariously through your videos, so good, bad or ugly, keep making them. They mean more to m e than you will ever know.
Some of the best hunts are the ones you don’t tag out. You look back at the beautiful country you in and the people you enjoy being with and it all makes sense. The mountains is my happy place and where I go to recharge. I love the videos and your take on life itself keep up the good work Eric
It was good to see that it is not always roses. It is series like this that reassure me that I can harvest an elk someday.
Eric, you are an excellent example of someone who is persistent. I can’t imagine the frustration after having those close encounters. Still, you push through and I can’t thank you enough for taking us all along. Looking forward to seeing you nail a big bull OTC archery Colorado next year!!!
Keep that “Positive Hunting Attitude” like Casey always says, man even though you didn’t notch that tag, it was still a great experience to watch and see. Like you said you’ll come back next season with more knowledge, and you’ll get that giant! Love the Hush crew!!!

To be honest I almost preferred seeing and feeling the real ups and downs of the hunt rather than a kill. The grind, the close calls and the mind games are what makes it real. Great content!
I've experienced a month long grueling, unsuccessful OTC Colorado elk hunt on more occasions than I can remember , but I always have a great time in the mountains of Colorado for the month of September. You captured every emotion that a solo hunter experiences.
We all need to see and be reminded that it’s the hunt we are there for and if we kill then that’s just icing on the cake. Made my first elk hunt ever in Colorado this year and came so close. I have that defeated feeling and can’t wait to go at it again.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride! I have been on those multi day hunts when nothing is coming together, and all of a sudden there is my target animal, but it doesn’t work out. Such a feeling of defeat! I have decided that from now on I will make the commitment to hunt all day and give it my all. You did the right thing by not pulling the trigger on that second bull, the angle was not right. Stay out there and keep your chin up! Your dedication is inspiring for me!!
Eric,
Good on ya for not taking a shot while that bull was breaking away! It is a hard thing to do and definitely shows your hunting prowess to hold for a good shot! Elk are hard! Ghosts of the woods! Giant yet stealthy! See them for days and then as if they were ever there they are gone! Great hunt! It shows the common hunting struggles! Every hunt is a win! Some just come with and extra meat trophy!
Eric, man way to stay positive! This is the hardest part of hunting, not being able to harvest an animal you’ve put so much time and effort into pursuing . I am hoping to go out west next year and take my first elk hunt and I really enjoy all of y’all’s videos! Keep doing what your doing
That's proper hunts. No easy gravy train hunts to impress your viewers. If you succeed in such a difficult unit then you as a hunter can feel proud because you really worked for it. Awesomeness Brother
I've never been elk hunting and I don't have a saddle. I've been trying to watch everything I can to prepare myself if I ever get to elk hunt. This video was awesome and the determination it took to hunt all those days with that weather and the defeats just shows your mental strength on reaching your goal. Love the channel keep it up.

Great season! Lucky Enough to tag along on my first Colorado archery experience this year and we had the same outcome. No bugles makes for long days of diminishing hope and will power to move that is for sure! All though I would love to see your success, it’s comforting to know it’s not always that way, even for the professional long timers! Thank you for the amazing series!
P.S. Left Hand is the RIGHT hand! ✊🏼
Me too, Eric. Tag soup with lots of salt. It’s been unusually warm and pushed the rut back and possibly prevented some cows/does from coming into season. There’s still no better way to spend time, though… just me and Mother Nature. Remember, keep a positive hunting attitude.
Enjoyed this series - the struggles and challenges with an OTC tag are real. Lots of respect for the time and effort put into that hunt.
The series was great! And im glad that you posted it. Thats what makes the channel real in my opinion. Not every hunt ends in success (aka killing a bull) but the real success is learning from it and bettering yourself for the next hunt!
I’m glad you were able to learn from this hunt and stay positive. That’s why I love you guys. Even when you don’t fill your tag you guys stay positive. With so much negativity around the world right notes it’s nice to be able to count on your teams positivity.
Great series even if the outcome wasn't a punched tag. Reminds me of this season for me out of state... my friend and I hunted whitetails on public land in OH for the first. Lots of sightings, lots of close encounters but no meat in the freezer from OH. We still had a great season! Time together as friends, making memories, while spending time in God's beautiful creation! What could be better?!?! Keep up the good work and great content! And... there's always next time!
I absolutely felt that dejection a couple of weeks ago. Took my bow out for my first ever bow hunt (whitetail/mule deer). Had no shots within 50 yards, just didn't feel confident shooting that far. The rush was incredible though.
I did shoot a buck on the last evening with my rifle, but we were unable to locate him. It crushed me man. I'm as confident as I can be without seeing a dead buck that he is dead, but I hate the thought that maybe I did only injure him.
Hi Eric another hunt over with, mate this hunt was full of what not to do, as well as things that should be done. If that makes any sense, we all learn from every hunt we do, plus you have learned a lot from this hunt. I have watched you go and do your thing, normally successfully, so this hunt really opened your eyes, and added a few things to your hunting expertise. Eric of all the people I watch you are in the top three for awesome, so next hunt look out Elk. Be good, stay healthy, remain Covid free. Cheers from the land down under.
I enjoyed it. I ate a cow elk tag in Nevada this year after 6 days of hunting. I saw a lot of big bulls, and I got in easy muzzleloader range of some of them, but I just couldn't find a cow. The closest I got was finding one cow with a bull and pulling the hammer back on her, but she never gave me a shot. I know how you feel about learning more from defeat than victory.
I love EVERYTHING you put out Eric! It's good to see that you are like the rest of us (me) at times. I've failed way more than I've been successful at elk hunting up to this point. Like you said, I feel that I'm putting in my time, learning, and earning my stripes so that when I do finally get the "one", I've earned it!
You are an inspiration to so many of us fellow hunters buddy! Keep living your dream so we can live vicariously through you when we're not in the woods!
Ron #Hushlife
Exciting to say the least! No filled tag, but hey, outdoors, nature, a couple full draws, still a very exciting hunt. As a truck driver, the times I drive thru Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada it sorta gives me the chills of an exciting hunt, and I'm not even in the woods. Just seeing the scenery gets me excite. As I always say when commenting. Keep up the great videos, have fun, be safe in your adventures. 👍🦌
I enjoyed the Montage, it was not drawn out content more than this is what hunting really feels like. Its not always action.. It is a matter of inches! Just a few steps... Heartbreak but It was real and I enjoyed it very much.
Eric, you did great. Better luck next time. I’ve had unsuccessful hunts for bulls four years in a row now. Hunting my home state of Idaho on an over the counter tag in a very popular unit. Have seen an enormous bull three years in a row. This year I didn’t see him. I don’t think anyone else got him because I would have surely heard about it. Maybe next year? 🤞🤞
That was a great hunt!!!! The Colorado series was some of the best. Eric this was an Awesome hunt! The group hunts are all good, but there’s something cool about being out there doing it by yourself as well. Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Nice to see a struggle video. We all struggle, some times it's nice to see that you aren't the only one out there that goes through some hard times.
Awesome job Eric! Way to stick it out and hunt hard! The frustration after the bull came into the tree saddle and didn't present a shot was so palpable! Great to see the true ups and downs and a beautiful way to wrap the series up with the montage!

This is so sad but i totally agree with if you don’t get one you learn more. I shot at 3 elk this year and missed them all. But you know what I learned many lessons and I’m hoping for a better year next year
Brother.....feel your pain.
I live in Colorado and have been in those situations. Way to keep your head up and keep on learning. What a great series.
You hit the nail on the head, these are the times we learn the most. You will get him next time. Cheers
Love the content keep up the good work.
We all blow it sometimes, take the lessons learned and be better next time. the impressive part is your perseverance to the end! Not many guys can do that and it’s a testament to your preparation and mental toughness. Good work.
Keep up the CO series! EC may not hit the target today but we can always count on him to hit it sooner or later. Next season these bulls will be a little bigger and hopefully more vocal. Defeat is not an option... These bulls are just smart and delaying the inevitable. Next season there will be back straps at camp for dinner and a CO Bull tag with notches in it. Keep plugging away!
If it were easy, everyone would do it! I agree that in the years I have been unsuccessful, I have always walked away trying to figure out what I could do differently, what I did wrong, and what will I do next year to correct it. Great video!
Eric is a Elk finding machine!!! Great series
Thank you for sharing, awesome encounter! We all struggle at times, the key to remember why we do this, the harder the work the greater the experience. Its also nice to know I'm not the only one being humbled this season, the struggle has been real here in PA too!!
Awesome series. Like to see I'm not only one who gets frustrated. No kill, but a success IMO.
I agree with that idea. I've learned WAY more on failed hunts with close encounters than successful ones.
That is hunting man, sometimes you end up with protein and sometimes you end up with nothing. It hard to push yourself like you did when you are by yourself. You could have went home after the miss. Or even packed up after the bull ran off. You didn’t quite, you pushed through and learned more about what to do next time. Great series!!
Intense. Heartbreaking. Archery hunting at it's finest. Good series. Got my blood pumping! Can't win them all.
My man... This is why I follow you guys, flat out inspiring. I felt your heart ache and frustration. So real no BS. Thank you for sharing the big kills and the tag soups.
Judging by the sunny hillside, it looks like the cows and bull you jumped were positioned perfectly so that when you came up the trail - them thermals went straight to them !!!
Great series. We don't always prevail but we can learn. Learnin makes us stronger and better hunters.
I learned this year to not put off replacing equipment that needs to be replaced. Long story short, my arrows were too short for my bow, but if I indexed my broadheads correctly, I didn't have an issue. Had a very large whitetail come in broadside at 30 yards and when I drew, the broadhead wasn't turned correctly and the blade hit my riser and popped the nock out of my arrow. Haven't saw a shooter since then. New arrow/broadhead setups are already in the works for the end of season.
Here I was thinking you are one of the luckiest guys. i've hunted elk for 45 +years and had a lot of years without a chance
Colorado Archery Elk Hunter here and I'm a total water hunt junky....try some scent on the wallow (elk bomb)....I've had them show up and wait for the cow or you can throw it down after close encounter because its aromatic it will cover ground quick. Hunt first light to 1-2pm then ground hunt high saddle with south facing aspens. Valley with pine on 1 side and aspen on the other are primo. Chasing creeks up and finding source can lead to good spots even if its not but 2ft x 2ft of water. Bulls scent the top so it goes all the way down water source which increases coverage!!! 9 more months!!!
COURSE we are watching it till the end. That was MEGA! loved watching that. Thats a WIN in my books. We don't have ELK in Oz so just being in Colorado and hunting elk is the DREAM!
I Hunt whitetail in Wisconsin Been hunting out of a Tree Saddle for two year. This year finally got it deal in was able to harvest a doe and buck with Bow gun season buck. I try to set up shooting my strong side but it never fails they seem to come in on weak side.Props on hunting solo i couldn't do. Keep up the great work. Its hunting not killing
.
Most of us have been there Eric, and yes, a lot of hard lessons are learned, but it's all part of the adventure, and that's where it's at!!👍🏻👍🏻
Colorado elk are the hardest! Spent 15 years trying to get 1… great video love all your stuff. My boys love watching as well.
Great video series. As a whitetail hunter from the East coast it was awesome to see elk hunted from a saddle - gave me some ideas. I spend a lot of time with a saddle and you could realize a lot of efficiencies in your setup. Recommend looking at using an aider to reduce your stick count and a strap based gear/ bow hanger to reduce the metallic hangers you are carrying - save yourself a few pounds. Keep it up!
I loved the series, there were still plenty of encounters and great content and it’s important for everyone to see that not every hunt ends in notching your tag but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t successful, we learn lessons and just have fun emerging ourselves into the hunt and chase. Eating tag soup just makes us more hungry for the next opportunity, loved the video, keep up the hard hunting!
Brutal and heart breaking 💔 😢 and inspirational af!
Good for you to hang in there..literally a whole day and more in a saddle stand,I'm pulling my hat👍..reminds me of long days myself, (almost) falling asleep, the whole food and water situation up there. I watched all 3 episodes in one go because I wanted to see if and how you would be successful...and I wished you 'best of luck' a few times.Fun detail in the preview you packing out the dead head, short enough sequence which made me think you had a successful hunt..GREAT HUNT, GREAT VIDEO!

Keep it up Eric. I love how you show the highs and lows of hunting these challenging animals in such magnificent country. I have had to eat Colorado elk tag soup way too many times (especially if you ask my wife), but I have to keep going back! The hunt planned for this year fell through, but I'm hoping to get back out there next September. Good luck on the next one!!
Watching you and Matt hunt Colorado this year has made me make the final decision to hunt Colorado next year! It will be my first time not hunting washington since I was a little guy! Thanks for the inspiration from you and the rest of the HUSH crew! You said it best its the times when you don't tag out that you learn the most.
I must say, I feel this series a lot more than most. Been on 2 elk hunts and had tag soup at the end of both. It’s kinda nice to see how you adapt and try different things along the way when it’s just not coming together. Enjoyed the videos.

Thanks for bringing us along. You was so successful. You done what 90% of all hunters dream about. Punching tags is a bonus, but the hunt is where its at. Having the time to enjoy it is a blessing. Thanks for the entertainment.
Man Eric as I watched this video I couldn’t help but relive some memories of my own solo archery Henry mnt tag I had a few years ago. I agree with you 100% on the most frustrating hunts we learn the most, and I even learn from watching you grind through your hunts. Thanks for all the footage you’ve shared this season, hope you have a great Christmas as well.
I think when u used the term "Top Pin" I couldn't stop thinking about that. Today's equipment doesn't market us into "Top Pin" skills, but for me, it is what I love the most about archery, the most satisfying achievement is to be in that wheel house. Eric I think you relay your passion for the outdoors in a perfect format.
Watched the entire video and glad you showed the hunt. I hunted Elk and Colorado for the first time last year. I learned a lot and hoping to get back there next year. Thanks for being real and showing all aspects of hunting.
Super cool hunt. This is such a great example of what it means to be a hunter. Keep persevering even when it doesn’t come together.
Ive told on here what i think of you as a person. Your dedication in second to none. I know the footage we watch is only a fraction of your hard work out there trying to tag out. So i feel your frustration. Keep up then good work and tx a ton for sharing that with us.
What a hunt. Love all the footage. Way to push through until the end even when it gets hard 👍
Watched the wholes series! Was a very relatable hunt! I have an area that kicked my butt this past season for elk as well and I have a vendetta to go back and be successful there. I did learn a lot about the country and how the elk use it just like you guys did in this series! Good luck and can't wait it see it happen for both of us!
Tough hunt man! Keep your chin up! I’ve been there done that. There’s nothing worse than getting down mentally on a hunt and trying to turn that around solo is really tough!
I just came back from Colorado deer hunting and brought a tag home. It was my choice as I held out for a big mature 180” type deer. Had many chances at other deer but had a goal and stuck with it. My buddies all tagged out and it was fun to watch them be successful!
Lessons learned:
-I need to communicate better and help my younger hunters know why I’m thinking rather than assuming they know what I would do. My buddy missed a nice mature 3x3 heavy 25” wide buck possibly because I didn’t tell him more what to do in the situation.
-keep in killer shape for the hunt! The mountain seemed smaller this year because I was in great shape. The mountain wasn’t intimidating at all!
-I need to upgrade my side by side: the roads beat up me this year and I’m sure I took some years off my machine during this hunt! (It is 15 years old!)
- I could shoot more in real hunting situations. I plan to hunt a few times before this next year so I’ve got that much more confidence in myself with my rifle.
- have fun and don’t get frustrated!!!
Thanks for the videos guys!!!
Excellent video series. That's the reality of hunting. Most will come home with a tag in their pocket and hopefully great memories and new found experience.
I had a similar experience this year in Colorado. Sat a lot of water, missed at 30 yards on a good bull and didn’t notch my tag. Learned a lot about not rushing in the moment and settling my pin before releasing my arrow. If I would have slowed down, taken a breath and settled my pin I’d have filled mar archery tag this year.
Eric that is exactly why it’s called hunting. 100% enjoyed the series Merry Christmas to you and the Hush gang!
Nice job Eric and that was a great hunt.It is what everyone getting into hunting needs its the jurney not the kill the kill is just the topping
New sub here. It's nice to see a hunt that doesn't turn out like all the others. Not that I didn't want to see you stick one, but nice to see the struggles of solo hunting and solo filming your hunt. I think it brings the expectations down to reality rather than what hunting shows often depict which is massive bulls, bucks, etc taken with what seems like little effort. Thank you for showing how it often times can be when hunting. I plan on heading to CO next year for an OTC bull elk tag. Taking my bow and now my saddle will be added to the luggage. First time seeing elk being hunted from a saddle in the mountains. Maybe I'll see you there. Awesome story you put together here.
Man I loved this hunt! I'm in Colorado and have hunted it since I was a kid! I'm hoping to bow hunt for the first time next season and really enjoyed seeing your work and hope to get lucky enough to harvest an animal with a bow next year! Thanks again for your awesome content!!!
Even though you didn't tag out still a great experience having the opportunities that you did in the mountains doing what you love to do. Thanks for sharing a great video!
Man you handle that well thank you for pointing out some mistakes you made lessons learned and passed on is one reason I watch you guys my first year bow hunting and first time hunting in 25 years got 2 weeks left complete rookie here but still going to give it my best
Not disappointed at all man that was awesome . Thank you for the video's that's the only way I'll ever get to go elk hunting is through your videos .
I have felt that feeling of "I will not give up this mountain is not better then me."

Great series, man! Enjoyed it very much. At least you were out there giving it your best. Look man, I hunt elk in regions that the elk are very scarce and I don't have big dollars to hunt outta state so I take what I can get. I havent tagged out in years but as long as I'm with my brothers were having a GREAT time! We all great the knowledge of being out there and loving what the creator has blessed us with. I didn't like the music much, got me depressed, lol! I guess all I can say is after all that you endured there was awesome! Harvesting the animal is the cherry on top. You're doing what you love. Be blessed, bro!
This shows the ups and downs of bowhunting. Great job, even if you didn’t punch a tag. It’s about the journey, not always the destination.
Man that sucks!! I had that happen several years ago on a 190 plus buck. I was in a blind, but we stared at each other at 11 yards until I couldn’t hold my draw any longer (seemed like 10 minutes) and he spooked. He kinda had his dipped like they do, but looking right at me so I couldn’t get the straight on shot unless it was between the eyes lol. You’ve put in the work and will be rewarded eventually. Keep up the good work!
It's the journey, and not necessarily the kill, that determines the success of the hunt. Looking forward to when you return to the same spot and the learning curve from this trip motivates your next.
Crazy how you can be some awesome and so humble at the same time lol ! Awesome content brother, loved every minute! Thank you and keep up the great work
Great series Eric. The real side of hunting. Keep the awesome content coming.
Great to watch. Victory regardless. Determination like that is rare these days. Way to go Eric!

Being diabetic I switch to low carb tortilla shells and eat all my brawts and moose dogs in a wrap, took some time to get used to it but don't miss bread hardly, for burgers I found a low carb wheat thins so I'm not totally bread free, also next mile meals offer great low carb meals for dehydrated foods,
Loved watching your hunt and like BRO the fact that you guys show the grind and unfilled tags.
I had a coveted limited entry tag in E WA this year and on Sept 2nd had 4 bulls move up a draw and bed below me in big sage. The two 350” bulls were behind sage at 60 yds, while a smaller 6 was at 71 yards facing away and I had his whole back visible. I thought long about cow calling and shooting as they stood up but had been warned that these elk bolt at the sound of a call. After 30 min I had a tickle in my throat and I could not stand and shoot because I would have been busted as I was just behind a small sagebrush. I quickly decided to shoot the visible bull from my knees....not as stable as standing, and I shot low and right hitting him right behind the shoulder but a hard down angle. He had blood dripping from that perfect crease....but it was just a flesh wound. Not realizing it was a flesh wound shot 2 more times at long distance. Saw him the next day and he was fine. Lesson was, cow call and get a good broadside shot, and two get a good solid shooting position. 3 weeks later, after hunting 19days, I stalked into 31 yards of two bedded 5 points and cow called, they stood and I made a perfect shot and watched him die 100 yds away. Was thrilled with the bull I shot, but will always remember the opportunity missed at a 350” bull
Great to watch you guys.
Very reminiscent of the fire-bull hunt. Enjoyed the perseverance
Loved this 3 vid series. I gotta say, sometimes you only get so many chances to make it happen. It only takes one, but ya gotta make it happen on that one. Nice work Eric!
Awesome series Eric. The defeats, like you said make a hunter. If we were successful 100% of the time it wouldn't be as fun or as rewarding. Thank you for sharing the struggles and hardships. Love the videos, love the crew, maybe I'll see you all in Idaho for archery elk next year! Heading to Island Park for the first time.
Great Colorado series. Enjoyed watching all 3 of these videos. Shows how tough it is to get it done public land over the counter! I am looking forward to seeing you go back for redemption! Keep doing what you guys do. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
