Man that was intense just watching. I cant imagine being at full draw for like 15 seconds waiting for that dude to turn!

John, another reason for a full backpack is the possibility of bivouacking where you find elk.  If so, you will need a shelter or at least a sleeping bag, tarp to spend the night.  Food and a stove perhaps. 

With an outfitter or guide, this is usually taken care of by returning to a base camp each night, but not always.

Several different ways to chase elk.

I don't think I could have made that shot. With my long arms the arrow wouldn't have cleared the bow.
What an incredible video - congratulations South!

     Congratulations South and I couldn’t believe how long you held your bow at full draw .I tried to time it a few times and more like 19 to 20 seconds and I would like to know what was the weight on your bow South if you don’t mind sharing ? :clapper: Great video and beautiful footage

Thanks Keefer, I was shooting 52#. I'd dropped from 55 from the year before to get my arrows to tune on the ILF and was thankful that I did!

Great video!! I had my wife watch it and she really enjoyed it as well!  You mention in the beginning that the muzzleloader season was open.  Do you not have to wear orange during gun seasons in Colorado?  Here in Michigan we have to wear orange during any open gun season.  Also, I noticed your hunting partner was carrying a cow decoy.  That's also not something I would try here in the crowded woods of Michigan during an open gun season.  Amazing to have caught that sequence of events on video!  Nice job keeping your cool at the moment of truth!!

Great video, and awesome bull!!
If ever there was a video to demonstrate "don't overbow yourself", this would be it.
I had a similar situation two years ago, ended up at full draw for way too long.....hammers it home!! Good job. Scott.

Wow.  Just wow. 


The amount of movement before the shot is a bit surprising, do you think the decoy helped that?



BTW: What kind of elk hunting weather is that?  No rain, snow, or even cold.  Short sleeves the whole time.  WTF Jealous.
         I loved the “We blew three elk out before  sunrise…might as well blow out the last one. “  That feels like a real hunt.
