That is fun elk are my favorite hunting or just watching.

It's a vicious cycle, isn't it?

I live the same dream. Out of 20 bulls, I might get 3 or 4 sheds. The traitors. The feed off my hay stack all winter and run off somewhere else and shed

@John Smith bobcats???? bobcats. uh, that's almost as bad as this video talking about predators and showing a coyote.

Dwight St John 😂 for real

@@dwightstjohn6927 chill. It's simply meant as in what they 'predate' on.

Should’ve put Cougars

S0 uh ikio Masha

Pretty sure Rogan got a complete pass through of a DMT tipped arrow on one last year, so for at least a second its mind was expanded.

it's elk not elks

They eat Aminita Mascara mushrooms 🍄🍄🍄 up north and trip out that's where they be called Reindeer

Real question....who wins a fight....grizzly or gorilla bro

@@flakocruz920 I love your vibe bro but them be called caribou outside of Santa’s domain

They have good moves

They took "Cha Cha real smooth" to another level

Victor Burk same bro

Every hunter shoukd be. Right on Brother

Alberg, I’m just curious if that’s your same beliefs for my native people of these lands that hunted way before illegal immigrant settlers came to this country?

Same i love deer, i especially love the antlers and the way bucks stand tall and sentinel like it looks very majestic (not a word i use much)

Haha me too! So sad that you won’t be able to see them in the wild anymore in Colorado😕 grey wolves🙄. This year, I went elk hunting for 9 days and almost everyday we ran into elk. It was the most amazing experience I have ever had. Very humbling.

I like them too UK Madeline Moose film

You'd love megaloceros then!

@Zino Bonnie shut up meg

Hey, that's simply too much to ask of them/scientists. They would have to get their asses off the couch and get into the mountains!

The main goal of veganism is to end factory farming.. what does factory farming have to do with hunting??

@Meow Meow obviously most vegans don’t support hunting, but hunting is no where near as bad for animals OR the environment OR people’s health as factory farming is. Trust me, ending hunting is no where near the top of the list on the vegan agenda lol. There are even some vegans who support sustainable hunting

I mean, PETA are vilified a lot by certain groups but they do good work. It's not so black and white.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Alberg go away you don’t know anything about hunting or conservation

@@mbr936 Well maybe the part about animals ending up in big cities but no everything else is accurate anyways..... get out of here vegan.... you’re either a vegan or choose the lives of animals above humans.... either way I have no interest in speaking with you

Exactly, imagine seeing elk and other unusual game in the Bronx NY? That doesn’t seem natural

keep telling yourself that the real predator that is supposed to keep them in check are wolves. but humans have pushed them into near extinction. The notion that hunters are supposed to keep the population down is total bs. Im defintiley not opposed to hunting for food but lets be real.

Iiuyn

alpha demon *licks hole*

He's trying to eat like groceries

reminds me of Scarface when his buddy whos him how to pick up american girls

Enjoy it while you can! You might not see anything at all after they release the wolves. I just got my first elk this year! Most amazing experience ever.

Thank you for your support!

Amen

Go camping in north Colorado during the rut. Its insane.

Yep. I live there

Try Rhodes. Got 7.50 for a perfect elk hide.

Fr

Bison is amazing mmmm

Elk steak is my favorite food

Y’all are eating elks and bisons?

@@justten3243 not buffalo. But hunters are eating elk. I just got and elk a couple days ago and we are gonna have steaks😫🤤

Actually, the wolves help to keep the elk populations in check; which helps to keep populations of not just animals, but plants maintained as well

Job security. LOL (100% sarcasm)

Wolves are essential to the ecosystem, like hunters are.

But imagine if they helped with, but also didn’t hunt them- imagine how great that would be! But hunters only help the elk because it benefits their hobby

@@brendanmorin9935 I haven't hunted, but I'll respect the hunter over the supermarket shopper any day

@@SAVAGEturtle19 I agree with that (if the are hunting sustainably). But that doesn’t mean that’s it’s okay, it just means that’s it’s not AS bad

@@brendanmorin9935 you’re speaking on a subject you obviously don’t understand. I mean this in the kindest way. Please start doing some research on why animals are hunted and then comment.

@@Navs126 what did I say specifically that makes you think I don’t understand this topic?

Kentucky has the largest elk herd east of the Mississippi River - numbering approximately 13,000. More details here: fw.ky.gov/Hunt/Pages/ElkInKentucky.aspx

That's awesome man, I was just up hunting with a buddy and he got a shot on a nice 6x6 over water and I got it all on film, sadly we never found the bull

Lucifer that’s unfortunate man cool you’re buddy got a chance at a bull tho I use a mark V Weatherby in 30-378 and the elk dropped in one shot I use the 30-378 for everything to be honest I don’t think I’ve ever had to put more than 2 shots into something man have good day

@@courageukrainian2208 oh ya, nice , ya we were bowhunting, it's tough

They always seem so proud, not in a bad way

Ender Black it’s called Joe Rogan

They have a funny way of doing that.

@@rmef they do

Lol

At that point? It was "Wabbit Season!"

They didnt want to see all the tears, less than a third are successful

Alberg I know what rut means. also you’re wrong. leaving the wild unattended would be alright if we hadn’t made the past mistake of killing of most the elk/deer’s natural predators. if they are not hunted then they will overpopulate due to having no natural predators

Alberg I wasn’t suggesting a solution. They’re really is no need for a solution because hunting control their population well enough to keep the species thriving. It also provides opportunities for humans to become closer to nature and how to respect the kill. Hunting also can provide someone with a food source (though it would be cheaper to buy meat) and it is so much fun to be in the woods and experience nature. Hunting is not humans taking advantage of nature and game, hunting is humans embracing and become one with it. We are being another part of the ecosystem and enjoying nature in a way no one else can experience. Now tell me, is hunting really ruining elk populations or is it just you complaining because you think it’s mean.

Alberg the only thing wrong with their habitats is the lack of predation. The only solution to that is to replace the predators. Humans replace wolves and bears that were chased out of that area long ago. The humans are the predators now. Their is no way to get the predators back, other than to ship them in like cargo. It can’t happen, even if the predators are protected and we are allowing them to thrive. There is no way the elk will have a natural predator (maybe in the future) in soon enough time to control there population and keep them from over populating

Alberg I’m making the assumption you don’t hunt. That means you don’t spend hundreds a year on licenses and tags. All that money I spend goes towards wildlife conservation because I am paying that money to the state. Now since you don’t hunt, what money do you contribute to wildlife conservation. I don’t see you pitching in any money, building forests, or keeping wildlife at bay. Lead by example

Alberg So if this loving of predators is possible it would cost way more in whatever is necessary to move them than it would be to have people pay the state to be predators. It is unrealistic to ask a government to pay thousands to move predators when they can be given money for conservation and have a natural predator through hunting

@@FalconFastest123 Mintz is in his condo in New Jersey, methinks. he's cross contaminating all kinds of infor. in his posts. I'm not wasting too much time on him. Na Noo, Na noo........outer space awaits.

Human encroachment and lack of habitat is the biggest threat to wildlife now. So look in a mirror if you would like someone to blame as you're just as culpable as anyone else. Wildlife management through hunting and the dollars provided by it are the reason wildlife populations continue to thrive despite loss of habitat.

RMEF was not involved in the reintroduction of elk to Arkansas.

But the video is about Rocky Mountain Elk....so....

Even for Rocky Mountain elk the weights given are not representative of some actuals. I harvested a cow in CO that had a hanging weight of 582lbs, so it was over 200 lbs heavier on the hoof than the max stated in the video.

@@richardsmith6610 What do you think the average CO cow and bull would be? I'm in NM and is it similar here I wonder. Interesting stories and relevant input!

@@nmarbletoe8210 In my experience average Rocky Mountian branch bulls would be in the range of 500-600lbs, and average mature cows in the range of 350-450 (live weight). The cow I mentioned in my post was a little heavier than my largest 6x bull, so it was a rare example of an exceptionally huge mature lead cow (took 6 loads to pack it out solo). I would have had a hard time believing a weight of a cow like that had I not been the hunter who had to quarter it and pack it out.

@@richardsmith6610 thanks!

@Brett Oaks lolol

Yeah th I lifecycle is about elkbulls not elkcows

So bull elk have calves now?

5:23 .... dummy

This is about elk not a game

Yes… seriously.

Top predators are important in the environment, and the money also helps.

Provided that almost the entirety of funding is generated through hunter dollars, and the majority of conservation work is done by hunter-funded groups - Hunting IS Conservation.

Deborah Kennedy So simple minded... get out of the city and actually experience nature. You’re embarrassing yourself

Cass Hickman She needs to look up the definition of “conservation”!!! “Preservation” is total NON use of resources, but “CONSERVATION” is WISE use of resources!!! Many uninformed city dwellers often get their terms mixed up!!! It’s bcuz they’ve never experienced a high country trip, either for hunting or just to get informed!!!!! Theses city dwellers think that the food (Beef, pork, etc) comes wrapped in cellophane in a store!!!
