As children we had Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross. As grown ups we have Randy Newberg.

My grandfather taught my dad to go high where they move. My dad showed me the same. I let younger breeders walk on by that would make most hunters cry. Keeping the numbers up is important to me. There are not the number of animals today as in my dads time. We all married after 30. That really stretches generations out. My grandfather was born over 110 years ago. I’m not even 50 yet. Things have really changed, but pulling higher harder terrain gets you away from people. It gets you into big older game that don’t come down as soon. Thanks for showing your hunts. Even a well seasoned hunter learns, and should.

So true sometimes we start hiking at 1am just to get where we need to be when the sun comes out. Cali d7

You know Randy. I just watched a video of another out fit. But you are the only one that I have watched that doesn't take 500yd or more shots. I respect that from you.

Wow, what an epic result.

Great video! See you in the backcountry next fall!!!

I wouldn't say no body will be back there, You hunt long enough you'll run into me. I've gone over timberline and down the other side many times! :)

thanks for the advise on public land...

Outstanding hunt guys. Way to go and congrats on a very nice bull

Very educating! Thanks a lot!

I will come and make my Hunt there . Beautiful Country .Thank you for your Videos .

Great video Randy! You've summed up a proper hunter's approach to opening day. However, there is one more point to be added: Concerning the parking lot with all the hunting pickups, many hunters lay squatter's claim to a favorite area. Even if you get there first, they will hunt right over the top of you!

Randy you should be honored there are hunters in your old area. They probably watch this channel and learned to get off the beaten path. Your students are learning!

my biggest bull did the same thing, a 6x6. Just stood there till he got dizzy and fell. good shootin.

Sounds like hunting whitetail out east in the mountains. So much Brush and trees u can’t see real far. 90% of the deer I’ve shot were within 30-40 yards.

I love all of your video's , I am thinking of changing my scope , maybe .

great vid

I wish you can got a permit to hunts all year long throughout the states. Can’t wait until the opening season to see your hunts again.

Heck ya man

Hey Randy, I am going on my first western Colorado Elk hunt this October during the second season. You got any advice on clothing to wear up in those mountains? I have lite shells, medium weight un-insulated shells, and heavy snow clothing. I just wanna make sure I am wearing the right clothing for the trip. Thank you sir

Randy, I hunt deer with a .257 Weatherby using 120gr. Nosier Partitions. I shoot it very well. I’ve heard it was Roy Weatherby’s favorite Elk round. I have a upcoming cow elk hunt. What are your thoughts on the .257?

I want to know what gun sling you use. i looked at your gear videos but have not found it. I would also like to go hunt with you some time.

Randy, I have been subscribed for over a year now but KZfaq stopped giving me notifications when your videos are released! I don't know why this is going on but I am catching up on your talks and everything else I have missed.

Great Hunter , love the videos .

100 percent truth!!

Might have already been asked, but what Kenetrek do you use for this hunt? I am between mountain extreme non insulated and 400 gram. What do you recommend?

I have a question Randy , I know it's getting to be more common among Hunters but do you have your Rifles Glass and or pillar Bedded ? I was going to have it done to my Rifle but after I hit two dead center Hits with it I left it alone . Do you think it's a must to have it done ? I wish you and ALL HUNTERS a Happy New Year !

I used to live near Lonnie Brown, a decorated department of wildlife game warden. Once a friend and I asked him what constitutes a point on a deer or an elk. He said if I can hang my ring on it, it's a point.

thats gonna be a good eater, congrats

In my experience I've found elk can see me and they won't spook or they can hear me and they won't spook, they make a lot of noise themselves but when they can smell me the jig is up. Even if they don't get a good solid sniff but little bits of scent from swirling winds they will leave the area. They might not go far though.

What do you recommend for someone like me whom is new to this. Do you think a 270 win in 150 grain interlock soft point bullet be good for elk

Looks like a shed in the snow @ 13:02?

What pants are you rocking in September. I bought the ascent pant but they are just a little to thin

just wanted you opinion Randy. you have already sold me on the Leopold range finder. what scope are you using? i want a scope that i can get a range an dile it in on the scope then i will be able to hold head on. no holding high ir anything like that. what would you recommend? thanks for your time.

Randy I notice you carried your rifle in front of your right shoulder, I think that’s a really good way to carry a rifles can you tell what brand it is?Thanks I really enjoy your videos.

Mr. Newberg, thank you for the great videos. I am learning so much. My brother and nephews are planning out our very first OTC Elk hunt in Colorado in 2017. I am finalizing my list of things to buy. Do you think money is better invested in a spotting scope or binoculars for Colorado? Do you think I need a tripod for either? What models do you recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!

What is an over the counter tag?

That bull never flinched after you shot him that is amazing and surprising. Can you get over the counter elk cow tags? Or is the tag for either bull or cow? We have a general whitetail tag you can shoot buck or doe with your tag.

Has your scope joined the wandering zero zone yet, mine did!🤨

In your experience, which cartridge is better for elk? The .308 Win or the .270 Win?

So in order to considered a bull legal in Colorado it has to have 4 points in either antler? I also hear along as one of the brodtines were larger than 5 inches it's a shooter?

"It doesn't always go according to what you had planned." I would modify this slightly to fit my experience :"It doesn't OFTEN go according to what you had planned."

What locations would you suggest for first time Colorado elk hunters during the second season

Question: What was that area closed sign? Who was the area closed to? Thanks!

Can someone tell me why they can't make scope to where if u see a animal at say 300 yards u just adjust your scope to 300 yards, or same thing with 450...idk if they already have these but I don't understand why this wouldn't work

What kind of pack are you wearing?

What kind of wall tent do you use? I'm thinking about selling my camper and getting one so I can get deeper into the mountains.

Have you ever hunted in northern Utah??

My question is, if that sign said area closed was it legal to go back there?

Randy I am a youth hunter who is starting to get into elk and mule deer hunting. I am planning to scout like crazy over the summer but what advice do you hav for someone who will hav a limited time to hunt do to school. I would probably only get three days to hunt.

what cartridge were you using here Randy?. Nice elk hard work pays off.

IF YOUR GOING TO AN AREA THAT YOU HAVE NOT HUNTED, HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON WHICH UNIT TO HUNT? I HATE THE LEARNING CURVE ON A NEW AREA. I FEEL REALLY DUMB.

You sure as hell don't have a ounce of quit in you.

Colorado elk are easier to hunt because they’re stoned.

Yes, those closed trails are great . We camped at the roundabout on a closed trail big dirt mound the forest service had put in front of the trail with a sign ...no motorized vehicles beyond this point...the opening morning over the counter bull tags 3rd season Colo. 3 day old snow.. a few tracks around camp , but the farther you hiked up that goat trail the more fresh tracks...at around 4 miles in you could smell,em ..it was gettin late ,seem,s to get dark around 4/4:30...next morning started out at o4:30...wile getting breakfast ready on an open fire...waiting on the young,uns i thought i heard and felt something big move behind me ..did not pay much attention to it ..at 05:30 we started out .just out of camp we stopped to lock &load i noticed some tracks in the very fresh snow...The tracks were about 18 inches long and as wide as my hand..looked like bare foot man tracks..super fresh, we counted 41 tracks along the timber into brush you could not crawl through into a steep drainage..i mean steep!.....took a few photos of the tracks next to a dollar bill . Next i loaded my desert eagle before heading into those woods ...at about 3 miles up we started to feather out peeling off the main trail....tracks every place at around 7:00 we herd a shot below us then one more, then all hell broke loose ..We spent four days tugging on six bulls 2/four bi fours 2 five bi fives and a six bi six .The herd bull i killed in sage brush that had to be 5 foot tall a six bi seven palmated monster at 80 feet...those trail blocked goat trails are a great place to hunt...only saw one other hunter ,he was heading up wile we were dragging out a bull...about an hour later we all herd 2 shots..from on top...he killed a nice six bi six on his first elk hunt feeding in the timber just off that goat trail..we helped that young man slide the whole elk out on our tarp.. public land over the counter tag,s!

Where did you hit it?

whats the difference in the vx6 and vx3

what GMU was this in?

Hey Randy I'm sure you're not in the habit of giving hunters your good spots to hunt but could you possibly suggest a good area a friend and I could hunt in Colorado we are from New Mexico and didn't draw a tag this year...over the counter tag that is??

No sound of the bullet hitting and no reaction from the animal, but he WAS hit and died shortly. You can't always tell you hit them.

Why didn't you take a follow up shot on that elk? In one of your vids you said to shoot until they drop.

hey thats above paonia and hotchkiss. thats where i hunt

Is this near unit 551 and Gunnison by chance?

Were the manatoba elk

Is this near Dolores?? Unit 70 or 71?

I have a question. Can anyone tell me if otc tags are either sex or just bull in Colorado?

Did you get one

My favorite way to hunt. Light weight rifle, pack, comfy boots, and start walking. Go where no one in their right mind wants to go. A majority of hunters are lazy. Many times just a mile or so off the beaten path you will find lots of animals. Plus people suck.

If it stood there like that I would have followed up with another shot just to be safe

Randy so I shot my first elk this year and I tried filming it. it was not bad but it could have been much better. I used only a gopro so I could not film much as if filming the elk. And there where tons of them up there. I really love to film hunts. What cheap but good camcorder would you recommend. I want to make a series of hunting videos and I want them to be good like yours. Any advise? Thank you for spending your time on me. if you want check our my video and email me where to improve and how to improve. Thank you very much and Goodluck the rest of this season. if I'm really annoying then just ignore me. Thanks.

so I can drive to Colorado.go to license issuing agent and by an elk tag..no lottery draw .just walk in and buy it.

when I got my bull two years back, it stood there like I missed, but 5 minutes later it finally dropped, must be a colorado thing

sounds fun but as a disabled hunter just backpacking isn't an option. I appreciate that idea but it seems the whole idea with these videos.

Hunters that are moving around alot ,are moving around in their vehicles.....road hunters..you see them gawking at the bulls and cows hanging on hunters game poles that they downed wile in the woods on foot...hunting!...not driving!

One of the sloppiest hunts I’ve ever seen

Hunt wolfs instead of elk grampa
