  • In episode 2 of this late season Idaho elk hunt, Michael Parente is still on the search for a mature bull elk. The last couple days he and Marcus Hockett has explored the vast unit, covering country and glassing but still hadn't laid eyes on a single elk.
    They wake up early and decide to head back to the only spot where they have seen elk sign. The migration of elk in this unit is very weather dependent, and the season has been mild meaning a majority of the elk haven't been pushed down into the winter range yet. Upon arriving, it starts snowing which will allow them to look for tracks. On the way in, Michael cuts very fresh elk sign which makes him confident there is an elk in the direct area.
    As Michael crests over the ridge he spots 3 bulls bedded down in the bottom of this steep rocky canyon. Without any idea of his presence, Michael is able to take his time and get set up prone for a shot. He has all the time in the world, if he can stay calm and make a good shot, he'll be headed back to Bozeman with hundreds of pounds of fresh elk meat.

    Nice work, Its hard finding the needle in the haystack let alone getting a good shot opportunity out there. In my experience they usually bed higher up where they can see. They must have been pretty confident in that spot. I was able to fill a tag following fresh tracks. Its an awesome way to do it if the conditions are right. If they aren't pressured they don't go to far, but if they get pushed don't bother they will go farther than you can walk in a day.

    That was a great episode; one of my favorite Fresh Tracks episodes in a long time. To say that you earned that bull the hard way in an understatement. Most hunters would have given up after two days of seeing almost nothing. The fact that you stuck it out is what got you that elk. While I watched the video, my first thought was that the pack out is going to really suck, and it did. I can't say that I have any hunting buddies that would help me get that critter out of there if I would have shot it down in that hell hole, so it is an understatement how much Marcus helped out.

      That is when you sort out who are your "real friends." Good luck in 2021.

    This was a great video. Way to hang in there and keep pushing until you found what you came for! The M&M hunt team is always fun to watch.

      The Diamond A does hold some elk. Tough to find them though.

      We have unit 46-1 right now and have only seen 1 herd and it was running hard. We are stumped and have driven hundreds of miles and sometimes hours and only a few miles. We have walked ridges, canyons and more ridges in unit 47 and haven't seen a single elk. We did see a helicopter running some deer herds and land on a huge private area so that was discouraging and kind of put a damper on the "coveted" hunt😔 we were told a certain outfitter owns that massive area and produces many successful private hunts we can now see why! Thanks for showing how the work paid off, God bless and I will continue to watch when we get done hopefully with a filled tag and meat in the freezer.

    Congrats on a successful hunt! Like I tell my hunting buddy...once the elk are down the fun hard grueling work begins! Embrace the suck and enjoy every minute of it.
