I love the vids with Beau. Such a genuine, friendly man. My prayers are with him and his family.

What I like about Randy is that he is just as happy for the other guy as he would be for himself.

Been around horses for the last 20 years or so, and I'm pretty tuned in to their body language. Those damn lamas always seem like their laughing at me or have some sort of secret. They make me smile in some sort of inexplicable way.

Randy you feel lucky to be there. And I feel lucky to enjoy your shows. They are a pleasure to watch.

Randy your outlook on hunting and sharing time in God’s creation with good folks is very uplifting to this 70 yr old hunter. Thank you

Awesome! Opening morning bull on public land. Doesn't get better than that. and Beau gets to cook and serve his elk the rest of the time in camp. Nice! Heartbreaker for Lucas. But at least he was out there.

Congrats to Beau for shooting that elk right at his dream spot and much respect to Lucas how he never gave up tracking his wounded elk over time and distance even though in the end another hunter took it...this is how it's done right.

I think this might be my favourite video from randy. Any video with Beau is just top notch

Randy, I must say that you are the friend I wished I could have had in my life, I am happy to at least been able to watch you and everyone else on your videos, thank you sir.

24:40 missed shot on the bull sure looks like he tagged the cow elk behind the bull..... look between the legs of the bull. Big fan of the show but taking a pressured shot like that gives me a bad feeling. Hope I am wrong

Beau, congrats on a great bull! Your enthusiasm and thankful spirit are contagious! Makes others, myself in particular, start dreaming about doing the same thing! Well done, but keep on doing videos! You and your comrads are great representatives of the hunting community. Thanks! Now, I'll finish watching the video!😄 Randy, keep up the good work, you're the best.

I am going on my first ever elk hunt for this November in the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest. I cannot wait for this adventure!

Randy you have a way of teaching without teaching, you have done fantastic things with your videos, with life lessons! GOD BLESS

I remember this hunt as a series on YT before it finally was able to make it to Amazon and now back in Amazon complete form. I am pretty sure this was the first episode that I remember watching that I was introduced to Beau Betty and those WTLlamas. Happy for him to fulfill his dream in the first 30 secs of shooting light on the first day of rifle in MT. I feel for Lucas, but always good to see someone committed to making sure they gave everything to find an injured animal. He too has that code, where he is only hunting that animal until there is a conclusion. Thanks for sharing.

There is nothing like coming home from work to a new Randy Newberg clip. Great video and love the new intro, keep up the good work👍

Couldn’t have happened to a better man than Beau Get well soon brother

That’s awesome!! Love it!! I had about the same thing happen to me with a 195” mule deer. 10min after legal shooting (and thank god for good glass because it was DARK from the weather)and dumped him about 5 yards from the private fence from a range of 605yrds. Best feeling of my life. And the best part my little brother and dad we’re both there.

Lucas, I'm impressed that you followed that bull up but i personally don't think you should have taken the shot. The cow and calf were right behind him.

Beau.... You earned that one. Good for you bring able to make a dream become reality. I'm looking forward to all the videos this year.

Not sure if anyone noticed but looked like when he missed that bull he shot a cow elk right behind the bull! This guy needs to take more care when taking a shot and make sure there’s nothing standing behind the target! You watch the vapor trail and it sure looks like it can’t really close to shooting a cow instead of the bull!

Should of waited for the cows to move??

Randy I’ll be watching your videos to fill my hunting void till they put you in a rocking chair, from my rocking chair! I have been for a while now as I injured my lower back a few years ago and am not able to hunt my self. Keep ‘em comin!!!

Your lucky to have that many good friends to join you. I need to find a friend with llamas

Thank God for giving us these bueatiful Animals to hunt and be in there Magnificent Country Mountains. The magnificent Bull Elk. And Huge Mule deer.

How can you not just get pumped up by watching this! Love the camaraderie, guys!

Wow! Great job Bo.

As we all get a little older we realise it is not about the shot and the kill or the trophy. It is who we share it with and the experience. That experience can be from the mountains of North East Scotland to the rolling gentle South Downs of England and across the pond to the wonderful open spaces of the USA from Florida to Alaska. My bucket list includes a trip to Montana elk hunting. When this lockdown is over and done with, it is time to get back into shape and get on the hill If Randy Newberg can do it, I can do it. I'm a whole year younger than he is!

Fascinating , intriguing , thoroughly enjoyable , great footage , great content , stunning country , and really nice guys hunting / teaming up together with awesome attitude ! A Rare combination . Well done guys !

What a fun, hard hunting group!!!!

Beau's the best!

Looks like you shot a cow! Than on your second shot you got a bull. 24:43

Excellent words Randy. God bless

That shot at 24:48 was completely unethical. There was a cow bedded right behind that Bull. In fact, she was probably fragmented by your first missed shot. I know you guys want to make a show and there's tons of pressure to make the most of every opportunity. However, as hunter we are responsible for putting ethics first. This should be reconsidered with the Newberg team.

We can all say with fair confidence that he hit that cow...

Fantastic episode! Happy for all of you.

Wonderful just wonderful I am grateful to see a Honest representation of real hunting. Where things go wrong

What a way to start and end your season. CONGRATS!

Thank you !! Your a blessed man !

I love this story.

Looking forward to another season of hunting videos Randy hope your ticker doing better!

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking us along. ^5

man I thought you hit a cow on that first shot @ 24:48

what a group ........would enjoy these guys as well Beau is the mountain Llama MAN

outstanding ....watched while i made white tail burgers....heading to southern bc on tuesday....got a pocketful of tags and a beater honda civic....wish me luck...ill need it

Randy ur spot on live it up hunt while u can

Oh look, a video of someone NOT shooting at shit from the window of their truck. They actually scouted and did a modicum of work to get rewarded. I wonder if Ford is selling window motors in MILs or MOA these days...... Thanks Randy for setting the bar at least higher than trolling the local highway shooting from the road.

Hopefully Lucas learned from this elk trip. We have all been in his shoes when we were his age. In 1972 dad bought me a Weatherby Vangard with a Bushnel scope. Several years later while chasing Elk I was try to take an early morning shot into the back of an Elk on a slope almost looking into the morning sun. The optics just was not good enough to filter out the glare or our hunt was a bust. The next day Zeus’s scopes went on both of our rifles and that was the last of our problems. One thing we did buy when laser bore sightseers came out is we could check our rifles aim in hunting camp to make sure the scope did not lose it sights. I think Lucas took a poor shot. But if he had this bore slighter he might not have missed. It’s hard to believe a Leopold scope lost its aim. A great scope. I hope Beau is feeling better as well. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

I’m getting ready for my first ever elk hunt - third rifle in Colorado. Love watching your videos. Hopefully, I’m learning a lot.

I need friends like yall!! damn just absolutely amazing! wish i was friends with Randy!

Great hunt and superb video Randy! It’s still a lot of work even for the elk expert they you are!

32:42 It's really tough to have a great attitude after something like this happens. Positivity is an admirable trait. I hope if this ever happens to me, I'm able to remember this and hold that same perspective.

Well done Parente! Awesome hunt and very well done video.

Awesome hunt and congratulations on the bull first light don’t happen very often Maybe once in a lifetime

Heck ya! Another awesome episode, Randy! Congrats to y'all and good luck the rest of the Fall!

Wow luck was definitely in ur favor congrats great bull!

I obviously know that we are viewing this through a camera lens and not the rifle scope, but Lucas was laying prone directly beneath that camera. The position he was in puts him directly in line with the elk that we were viewing, just a little bit lower. At 24:49 he shoots at the bull with a bedded cow behind him. Even if he is slightly to the right of the camera, that cow was way too close and I believe that the shot shouldn't have been taken. I have slowed the video down and followed the vapor trail of the bullet and it appears that his shot was low and a little in front of the bulls hind legs (low right.) I dont typically like to speculate without further research and info, but I'm fairly certain that he may have accidentally hit that cow. Mistakes can happen, I just hope that this was investigated by the team to ensure that in the event that the cow was shot, the right thing was done.

Great video. Congratulations on a nice bull Beau

Was that cow right behind the bull when he shot or do my eyes deceive me??

Fantastic episode once again! Keep it up!

awesome video Randy !

Great trip.

I was surprised that Lucas fired again after his first shot. Unless he KNEW why the first one was so far off target, the second shot was a Hail Mary.

The right attitude young man tough broke

Another great hunting video!

Way to go Beau!!!

Well Randy your exactly correct, it happen to me, as a dedicated hunter and fisherman. In 2002 I was Diagnosed without Ulcerative colitis in my Colon, believe me it was Hell, I had to retire from my work as a Heavy Equipment Local#3 Operator. My hunting and fish end up nonexistent. Luck for myself , I had killed several large mule deer, several bull Elk. But what really hurts is my daughter and Sonlaw decided to become Hunters, and not to be able to hunt with them was a tough situation. For me.

Praying for Beau this evening.

Awesome!

Is it ok to shoot at an animal standing in front of a bedded animal? Couldn't you wound the animal behind or sitting under the animal... @ 25 mins?

Wow i wish i could! We only get a small chance to get a ballet tag here in New Zealand but you couldn't take llamas ( Bummer ) You Guy's are very lucky ( But hay we can shoot Reds all day long with no tags ) Magic place and magic mates you get to go spend TIME with thanks ...

Loved the video, good job guys.

Too bad (Lucas)… that's a tough one to let go of. You deserve a bull of equal/better quality for your efforts. I hope we get to see it taken on film. Congrats Beau! Great plan, great (although nerve-racking) execution. That'll be many joyful meals at the family table. Randy, your glory was taken!! Someone else caped out that bull! Wassup wit' 'dat? I hope they bought you a Dilly Bar in return.

Love your videos. Want to comment that that first miss on the bull was a shot with several elk right behind it and around it. It was very low and could have easily wounded another elk. I think you will agree it was not an ethical or good shot, and I feel this should have been addressed in the video. Thanks.

Really enjoyed this episode right before my first rifle elk hunt in a week. Lots of great information. What size bipod are you using in this vid?

congrats

I think the first missed shot ( time stamp around 24:49) was low but perhaps hit the other elk in the HEAD! Jesus guys don’t shoot when there are elk BEHIND your target!!!!!

I recently moved from Great Falls to Arizona and I do miss that over the counter tags that Montana offers. But other than that I enjoy the weather and hunting AZ offers haha

Beau you should know Randy is not off on a crazy goose chase it's always a grouse chase

Nobody notice the shot taken with the cow and calf directly behind the bull? Fortunately it was low but it's something everyone needs to be mindful of when shooting.

What weight of bullet did Beau shoot in his Howa .308?

leopold cant have any better people work for them

On the second hunt, did you guys go over to the other hunter to at least see where his shot hit? It looked like a perfect heart shot in the video, i dont understand unless it missed just low into brisket?

Don't they teach you to watch your backdrop in hunters ed?! Why shoot when there were 2 cows behind the bull? Looked like he damn near hit that bedded cow in the neck or head!

Great hunt. We enjoyed watching it and dreaming of making a trip like that sometime in the future. How wonderful that you produce these movies for us to watch, dream and plan with. Thanks! I do have one question for Randy or Lucas. Did you go to the range afterward and discover the reason the shots were low? We all pull one sometimes, and I thought that’s what the first shot was, but the second shot was exactly where it should have been if the first shot was on point and steady. So, was the scope nocked? Was the rangefinder picking up a stray reflection? I think it would be worth adding that information to the end of the video. I’ve gone and added comments to all the disparaging comments below because I think Lucas does not deserve the judgements some folks laid out. Here’s what I saw, and I say hats off to those fellows and to Lucas for having the courage to share that disappointment with us so that we could understand hunting is not all about fist pumping, and how to deal with the tough blows like a man. Yes, there were cows. Elk are herd animals. There are always other elk. Nobody holds off because other elk are near. People do hold off when it clear there are other elk, or just blue sky, behind the target elk. Say what you will about the shot. Remember that you are looking through the camera lens, not the rifle scope. That is often two very different sight pictures and you can’t know what Lucas was seeing. If you paid attention, he was having trouble locating the bull when the rest of us could see him in the lens and Beau could see him plainly in the spotting scope. Both the camera and the spotter were probably 24 inches higher off the ground than was the rifle scope. I’m not opposed to judging people’s actions, but rushing to judgement without all the information is why civilized people insist on courts and evidence rather than lynch mobs. Speaking of judging people, what I did see was Lucas and the crew putting in some serious effort tracking that wounded animal to conclusion. That takes heart. I also saw them pass on shooting another bull because they could not see evidence of a hit they were not certain (at that time) had been made. That takes restraint.

Bring enough gun good show

No matter how many years I hunt, the one thing I still hate to hear each time out is, "today is the last day".

Well I do up to see and watched every single one eater hunting shows I find them very fast moving towards how far you guys actually go to get an elk or to get a meal daughter or a month or a white till I love watching all your videos and is nothing like eating that Wild Meat love wild meat

I rewound the video several times trying to see if you have your llamas loose. Mine would probably be hard to catch if I left them untied.

Wow.....

Was that guys rifle on? Last year in camp 2 guys dropped their rifles out of scabbards and missed shots at less then 200 yds. The mone guy also missed a shot at 400 yds. That's why I double check my zero every time I can.

Great attitude Lucas! You may lose animals in your hunting career, but not your character!

Looks to me like Luke hits a cow in the mouth when he misses that bull. Seems to me they should have looked for it.

No water ? I see snow.......... Randys from MN / shouldnt be a problem...

👍👍👍 👊

12 Llamas, the food and logistics just around that would be insane. How many Llama's were just carrying supplies to feed all the Llama's?

What would happen if someone showed up in Kuiu gear to hunt with Randy?

What area was this because the area I want to hunt doesn't start til the 26th

Beau said he glanced at hi phone for shooting time. Was he using a particular app that tracks shooting time?

Beau I know the feeling, my one elk to date was shot about 3 minutes after shooting hours began.

Surprised that you were above the elk, seems like you would be upwind and they would smell ya...
