I spent a lot of my winter filming wildlife. So much time, money and cold nights went into making this film. If you find some value or entertainment a follow would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏

One of the best bucks I've seen on the public land by my place tonight. It will be a damn shame if I can't find him again to get some much better pictures and videos. My god what a beautiful Public Land Buck!!

My 2018 6x6 Bull elk! Could not be more proud. Doing this without another caller is so hard. I did it though. 1 vs 1 and I outsmarted him. Put 4 months of work towards this and it was worth every minute of it. #Idaho #PublicLand #ElkHunt #Archery #ElkDown #ElkHunt #idahome

I can't tell you how much pressure I put on myself to be successful every year. The immense relief after having another bull down is insane. I have made this my life's passion to be the best I absolutely possibly can be at archery elk hunting. I will work even harder next year.

What an unbelievable morning! A few hundred elk came pouring out of a saddle above me. This was only the last half of them. The wind was miserable and oh so cold. I repositioned myself where the wind couldn't catch my lens and hunkered down to capture the majestic herd. #elk

This girl broke my heart. Packed way in with just my camera equipment filming the mule deer rut and this girl walks up to me. I can't do anything for her. Truly ruined my day. Fish and game was contacted and I haven't been able to relocate her. Nature isn't what most think it is

Lowered my expectations by quite a bit after seeing how low the deer population was in this unit. Man I hunted it hard. Last night I decided this guy was good enough. Shot him in his bed after stocking into 120 yrds. He was done instantly. #solohunter #buckdown #taggedout
