Turned 75 young this year and in my 3rd season behind the bow,,,This is my year!!!

Every time I watch one of your vids on the toilet my leg falls asleep.

This intro gave me flashbacks of last year. Made me kinda smile. Made a list of all these tips. Come on September!!!

Great job guys! Im 64 and still gettin after it! Just takes a lil long! Do some more of these! Vinnie

I have made most of the mistakes you listed..65 yrs old...been archery elk hunting since 1985 . This season a close friend is going on his first elk hunt with me. They anticipation of him seeing his first elk and hopefully tagging one has me already losing sleep. As i have commented on many of your videos..."i mentally recall your attitudes to inspire me to keep going when my body tries to tell me otherwise. Cant wait to see your series this fall and i wish a successful season on all of you. By the way...Where is Steve,?

Going on my 4th year elk hunting. Got 3 years of mistakes behind me. 😁👍

"Elk365" the amount of knowledge and wisdom you guys could unleash seams to be limitless.... I truly appreciate how much you all take the time to inspire and motivate so many to do things out of our comfort zone. Here's to another successful Elk season🦌😁

Love the old intro on this.

Thank you guys for all you do and getting us excited about this upcoming season!

Looking to plan my first elk hunt. these videos are a big help trying find all the info I can before I make the leap.

Can’t wait for elk season !!!!

One of my favorite episodes EVER !!!!

Thanks for the tips and inspiration! I just turned 64 and I'm backpacking every weekend setting or checking trail cameras, shooting at the NWMC or TAC, and just working out so I can back country bow hunt! Really missed Hoodoo this year!

Good information, this will be my 56th year in the elk woods and I’m still learning and making mistakes. Slowly catching up on the video’s. Watching 3 or 4 ever day.

I agree I am 68 and have had. 2 back surgeries . and I'm still going.

Great tips. I have bow hunted elk since I was 16, Larry D. Jones was my hunting hero to indicate how long it has been. I have made all of these mistakes and many more on almost a yearly basis. Great job guys, love your vids.

That brought back soo many memories of mistakes Ive learned from. Thanks Guys

☑️ .... I made all of those mistakes. Good to be reminded of them and learn about new ones. Thank you all.

Trent is Mini Me for his Dad. Love It! Thanks can't wait for you guys to take me along on the next hunt.

First time Elk hunter here. Just drew a tag for Colorado Archery. Love your channel!!!!! I've watched ever upload. You guys offer tons of great advise. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Maybe we will run into each other.

Just picked up my first bow in 30 years...it's never too late at 58..Nice work guys, I'm on my 4th year in Oregon.

Thank you guys. Always great to have your experience good and bad. You pump me up for this season as you have in the past.

Thanks for sharing. It is looking like I will be doing my first elk hunt this fall in Colorado. God bless you guys.

Awesome job guys!! You are the Man Dirka Dirka!!!

I can’t wait to begin Elk hunting. Want to start a tradition with my kids

Watched this video before and yesterday returned from 6 day camp in Montana at Sage Peak in Gallatin. These tips are PURE GOLD! Thankfully, I had the very best guide, Chuck, who followed these. Spoiler….I missed my shot!! Hit a branch. This is seriously grueling and challenging archery hunting. I loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to get there again.

That intro is 🔥 gave me chills!!!!

Keep up the true nature of the hunt. Thanks for your honest approach. More of the same is appreciated !

Thanks for all the great tips! The one that hit home the hardest was to not leave the elk while it’s bugling but walking away. We’ve ran into that SO many times. We’d call and get a response a couple hundred yards away, we’d go to where they were, call and and hear a bugle back a few hundred yards away again. And after about a mile of that we’d give up because they just seemed like they were getting farther away each time. But then one time on a solo hunt a few years ago, I decided to just keep following and after about 1-1/2 miles in a big, almost full circle, I got the bull to stop and come in quick. But... I missed the shot due to misjudged yardage (another huge mistake), even after I ranged several objects from my set up. But then the next eve, with my brother in law, did the same thing and got the bull to stop but couldn’t get a shot before he busted us. But the crazy thing is we kept after him and he turned around again after another half mile, this time to have the wind shift. All we could do is wait after the heart sink set in, as we heard the wind coming through the trees behind us, getting closer and closer, until we felt it and he took off, this time not responding to calls anymore.

Thank you for the information!! I leave bright and early tomorrow morning for Colorado for my first elk hunt. I’m from Wisconsin and have hunted whitetail from a tree stand my entire life so this is a completely new and intimidating adventure for me. So thank you!

Don't know if I am a faller but yes I watching every show or video you guys produce I'm totally addicted to your show you guys need to sell video keep up the great job and calling in big bulls love it live for it and plan my whole year on elk hunting with my kiddos and going after mr big this year 400 plus bull we have been hunting for the last four years good luck guys God bless you all your fan and friend Randy Larkin and the kids

Thanks guys. I love your videos and appreciate you sharing your experiences.

Best value yet... Love it

Lack of patience is probably one of the biggest I’ve seen. I’ve injured 2 elk and not retrieved them because I got worried they would spook and run off. Took way to long of a shot and it ended bad, I’ve learned through experience now to not let the excitement take over.

Thanks Trent... the insight of never leave or dissuade yourself of a bugling bull moving off. I appreciate your affirmation of "keep going" From a WA hunter, thanks guys, keep it up

Awesome Tips!! This is just what we need,as we're all ready to hit the trail running. 6 weeks or less Woot-Woot!!

First time elk hunter so I am taking all of this and putting it in memory to fall back on when I'm out there. Thanks for the videos and good luck to you all.

Thank you guys for these tips. Good to know I am not the only one who has made these same mistakes but have learned from them

Great tips fellas, keep em comin. I just turned 40 and will be bow hunting for the first time next season. My buddies are all rifle hunters, and I am on this quest alone so far. Ill be in the western cascades for Roosevelts, so I think Ill need all the help I can get!

Thanks dudes. I am going to go make a bunch of mistakes of my own this season on the Coast. Looking forward to sucking less by the end. Appreciate all the education you all provide.

I was just in Yellowstone & saw a couple nice bulls. The wind checker was one of my fails on my first elk hunt. I had been using it a couple times before elk season then ran out while hunting. "Always bring extra now". I did put some fine white ash from a fire pit in the bottle & it did work. Great set of tips guys.. I've made most of those mistakes.

Get to hear that I'm not the only one that's fired up

GREAT VIDEO GUYS! I'm a rifle hunter myself, but I learn a lot of tricks I can also use during rifle season.

Great Tips and Tricks! Greetings from Germany!

Elk season is gonna be great to see 👍🏼

Hey guys, great Lessons Learned. I'm 39 and just got into the game. Just got my OTC Elk tag and looking to enjoy this season solo.

Thanks guys!

My boys both can not wait till your videos come on I have my 7 year old practicing with his bow this year he will be all ready to chase elk with me got 2 gopros

Thank you for the questions I learned a lot on video.

Super good tips gents. I've never been to Colorado, but I really want to, and I feel more confident from all these tips..... safe hunting!

One of my biggest earlier falls were continuing on the same old beaten paths and not getting anything

Going on my first archery elk hunt this September for two weeks thank for the tips

the best one yet awesome work guys

Great video full of good information. Thanks

Great content, thanks for all the tips. I've made all of these mistakes myself.

That is one epic Dad right there. Great work fellas.

Thanks for the tips guys!

This may be the last season of freedom in Oregon before ODFW screws with us again good luck guys

Good advices, I did few of this mistakes. Goodluck everyone this season out there.

Thanks for the pointers gents!

just put in for my first archery bull elk hunt. thanks for the vid

Laughed so hard at Dirk popping out from the tree.

It’s good to share our mistakes to help others

I can definitly say I've had that happen when chasing a herd and once they laid down have the bull come off the herd to check us out. Very good tip there

Another great job guys!

Excellent. Caught myself in a few of these errors. Thanks!

Great advice as we all fall into that rut pf complacency. Y'all have inspired me to tackle the other side of the unit I've hunted for years now. Me an my new Rambo bike are ready for Sept.2.

This should be the new intro for everything! Badass!

Loved it guys! I definitely learned a thing or two to help!

Man thanks for sharing guys! Serious stuff rite here

I love at the 9 min or so mark, Trent says if you can keep em within "ear sight." Hilarious, and I appreciate you guys a ton. Hope to see you this Fall in an aspen grove out in Colo.

Not showering and not using scente limantor with whipes and sprays ate a great product that works for killing elk thank you guys God bless

Lets roll with the elk hunt dudes

Great stuff guys! Awesome to hear dad's advice on age...

Thank you I always learn something from you guys, I give Alot of our success from what I've learn from you guys I told my wife 2020 was my year to kill my first bull just saw my first bull on my trail cam keep it up bro crew

Awesome video! Come on September!

Great video guys! I thought you made some excellent points. I appreciated Dirk's comments about not bulging from the same places every time. We've had some success bugling from the same spot, time after time, but who knows what successes will come by changing it up! Thanks guys and good luck this year!!

Kody last year we had a raghorn bugling every night about 3am to 6am in eastern WA by our base camp. I had a true spike only and cow tag so he was off limits, but I did make a move on one of his 2 cows. Came in low and spooked them out. Anyhow, he had the worst bugle ever!!! It was like a teenager going through puberty in a almost comical sense. But there he was every night for 7 days cracking off and sounding like S lol. So yeah practice and get better, but don't be scared to learn in the field.

I love that intro

Great tips and was motivational guys. Keep up the great work! :)

I love music it rea minds me of dirt bike riding for some reason

Going to eastern Oregon this year. Never bow hunted for elk outside Washington before. Can't wait! 40 days until I leave!!!

Well done eliminate the simple mistakes and your odds will go up. Thanks I learn somethings.

Thanks guys.

Dirk is my spirit animal

All good lessons

Love the shave on the beard Dirk! Think you should bring Macho Man back this year!

This was an awesome video! I just wish I had seen this before I went and did my first solo backpack hunt......without ever having hunted elk before..... I made a few of these mistakes, but I got a few of them right as well. Great job guys, I’m a fan!

I learned a couple of new things. Thank you.

Set up the trail cam for an archery deer hunt in Idaho where a buck walked up on me while seeing up the trail cam and when I checked it this morning nothing but elk on it, it has just turned into a deer and elk hunt now Haha.

Thank you 😊 for excellent advice 👏 love you guys,

Great video!

Very nice, pretty much covers everything, thanks for the reminder, you guys keep up the good work...🎯

U guys all ways give good advice keep up the good work

Awesome stuff guys

Just stumbled on you guys!!! Fantastic video and thanks for the tips!

The first one is my favorite. WIND! Don't know how many times I've run into guys in the woods and realize "they just hiked all the way in here with the wind at their back"! And then they're complaining that they aren't seeing any elk! It's usually because there's a road that dead ends at the bottom of the canyon. The easiest access to elk isn't always the best access.

Finally the FAB 4..👍

It'll be nice hunting something besides people. Can't wait to fill my bull and buck tag here in Colorado.

Thanks again guys
