Perfectly common elk hunt and obvious the the woman was loving it………… Not!From what I could see of the shot placement in real time and as it flashed through processing, she was putting them right where they belonged.
I had a spike soak up 5 in the boiler room at 300 yards and keep feeding while I was frantically stuffing more in the mag thinking I missed every time. Bull looked up with a mouthful took a step forward and tipped over.
No orange , a bunch of B.S…… no big surprise ! There are great hunters and complete idiot hunters all over this country but unfortunately there seems to be a greater concentration of the latter in Utah !You could watch that video in black and white with the sound off and know it's Utah..... Always Utah.
I’m genuinely curious…are these folks “idiots” for not following the UT law regarding orange or is it that they are unsafe? Are hunters in ID and AZ idiots, too, if not wearing orange?No orange , a bunch of B.S…… no big surprise !

@Tomichi is the only other person I’ve heard call it a Needmor.That's what happens when you hunt elk with a 6.5 needmor.
How do you know what she was shooting?That's what happens when you hunt elk with a 6.5 needmor.
SpeculationHow do you know what she was shooting?
I'm pretty sure the DINK comment was an accounting reference to their Double Income No Kids tax status.... sensitive much?I don't see guys questioning if they are on meth or calling the bull a dink bull.
I agree! Looked like a fun group to go with. These almighty hunters on here alway find something to bit<h about.Really is that what this site has come down too!
Just because you don't agree with the hunter posting the video on you tube you attack a young lady out hunting.
I have noticed if members of this site post a video on YouTube and a video on this site most congratulate that hunter with a great video and a awesome hunt.
I don't see guys questioning if they are on meth or calling the bull a dink bull.
Big deal her family and friends want to get out and enjoy the experience with her. "man they are terrible people"
Other than the fact she did not have orange on the day she shot the bull it was great video seeing hunters out hunting having fun.
Get over it guys, people like sharing their experiences on you tube.
Biggest abuser is the biggest accuser? Just ask’n……….Man MM is a tough crowd.
Stupid law anyway. The only reason for it is so the fish and game can see you better when your off he road..I've told you Boys For years That Rifle Hunters Don't Wear Their PUMPKIN Suits On LE Hunts!
Do you have thin skin? Sounds like it. You post a video you open yourself to good/bad. Just like movies, songs etc. make it public face criticism.I had one of my little cousins come up from Arkansas and video my boys antelope hunt. Should I post it and open my life to some potential criticism?
I agree with you SS you need to have think skin if you open yourself up.Do you have thin skin? Sounds like it. You post a video you open yourself to good/bad. Just like movies, songs etc. make it public face criticism.
Depends on the situation. Sometimes I'm sensitive, sometimes I feel a bit rowdy.Do you have thin skin? Sounds like it. You post a video you open yourself to good/bad. Just like movies, songs etc. make it public face criticism.
Who cares how many people were on the hunt? The more the better to find a good bull.I didn't watch every minute of the video, but wow! How many people were on that hunt? At least 6-8.
The first shot may have been a kill shot, and she was truly upset the elk wasn't falling. But, earlier in the video, she was bragging about how it was only going to take one shot. Karma can be a beetch.
Anyone catch the range for the shot?
Definitely idiots for putting a hunting video on the worldwide web while breaking the law, also very unsafe. The laughing in the background is pretty crappy too ! Not sure about AZ or ID as I’ve only hunted ID once as a teen and yes my father and I wore orange while elk hunting.I’m genuinely curious…are these folks “idiots” for not following the UT law regarding orange or is it that they are unsafe? Are hunters in ID and AZ idiots, too, if not wearing orange?
(And I’ll stipulate that during general season hunts in Utah, it’s definitely both)
And how do you know they are Mormon?^ tell me you’re from Utah without telling me you’re from Utah
I enjoy not seeing people on hunts. When you invite your whole Mormon family for one tag and spread out that doesn’t help the experience for other tag holders.
UT should limit the amount of people one can have help on their hunt to 50.
Ya let’s hear it. Oh wait it’s in Utah so you just assume
really??

I thought most people understood the "DINK" acronym, yes, I meant a Dual Income No Kids lifestyle.I'm pretty sure the DINK comment was an accounting reference to their Double Income No Kids tax status.... sensitive much?
Yep, you right BigJ. The young lady was putting the lead out…….. just like she was taught/told to do. We teach our children to “keep shooting, until it’s down”. There is a reason we teach that to our youth.I saw the video . They are camped down the road from our cabin in Seven mile. I could tell where the were most of the video. Even looks like a Boring rifle out of beaver maybe ? The Fish Lake sh#t show. She was definitely throwing some lead out there . Seems like they know the area.
I'm with ya 2lumpy, it wasn't a perfect kill, but how many of us have had an imperfect kill? Honestly, I would not have posted that video, but then again, I'm not 20 something in this day and age. They planned all along to post the hunt, and they did, warts and all.Yep, you right BigJ. The young lady was putting the lead out…….. just like she was taught/told to do.

Second, females are more emotional, by nature. By the second shoot her emotions were on fire……… yet…..she was still hitting the bull, in spite of her anxiety. (Someone said she misses once. ) That does not surprise me, in fact, I would have expected as much, from a lot of hunters.
Third, what did she say, when told to shoot, when the bull went into the trees? “SHOOT HIM IN THE ASS?” How many of us have told our son’s to do the samething, obviously all she even been told, “Is wait until he turns broad side and for hell sake, don’t shoot him in the ass.”
This little gal, did everything right, just like she had been taught. She has grit and hiked those mountains for 5 days, and BigJ knows what those lava flows are like to walk over and how steep that terrain is. At 10,000 -11,000 feet no less.
Their language was a lot more respectful than many of the hunting videos on YouTube, as well. Their happiness was genuine and nothing more than one would expect after a hard hunt.
The more I think about this, this young woman is a hero in my mind. Exactly what you would hope to have from a young hunter, or a seasoned one for that matter.
I sure hope the actual killing exoerience she had hasn’t adversely effected her desire to hunt. She should know, from every hunter, that this sort of thing does happen, to the very best of us, it’s not common but it certainly isn’t rare, if you hunt long enough, it will happen.
Also, while we call it “sport hunting” it’s still killing and anytime you’re killing something, all of us should try to make it as humane a possible………. And 99% of us do, as did she.
I hope she never reads this thread. She doesn’t deserve it.
I'm not familiar with that term?She is also a RM for you that know Utah talk.
Same here. After the first shot, the bull didn't really move. And as long as the bull was standing, I would've kept poking holes in him also.I'm with ya 2lumpy, it wasn't a perfect kill, but how many of us have had an imperfect kill? Honestly, I would not have posted that video, but then again, I'm not 20 something in this day and age. They planned all along to post the hunt, and they did, warts and all.
As for the group hunt- well hell I'm always glad to see folks get out there. Flat brimmer types, yep. Newby hunter, yep. And it showed- so what's to worry about?
Lastly- I was taught, as I'll bet most young hunters were, that if you know you hit the animal, and have another chance to put one in them, do it. Of course, that bull was obviously not going anywhere, so holding out for another chest shot was the right call.
Yeah, I’ve had 5 kids that all struggled as 12-13 year olds finding game in the scope in the heat of the moment. I often took for granted the skills that now come so naturally after decades of practice, but are surprisingly difficult for newbies.I Didn't Post This To THRASH Anybody!
The Part I Got A Kick Out Of Is When She Kept Saying:Where Is He?
Where Is He?
He's Still Right There!
Just don't poke fun at my family or someone's wife or a kid and I am ok. Hammer down on me all you want.Depends on the situation. Sometimes I'm sensitive, sometimes I feel a bit rowdy.
Here’s a video I couldn’t find anything to hate on:
For sure. I hunted from the time I was ten years old until I was 25, with open sights. When I put a scope on a rifle, I couldn’t find anything with it. I finally took it out in the yard, and practiced finding flying birds in it, eventually…….. the bird would be in the center of the scope, as I brought it to my shoulder……. and it became as close to automatic as it can get. 99% of you folks understand how it works. It takes time and practice and it doesn’t happen unless you develop the muscle memory that goes with it.Yeah, I’ve had 5 kids that all struggled as 12-13 year olds finding game in the scope in the heat of the moment.

Again, she was a normal as any hunter I’ve seen, in her situation…… male of female. I dang sure won’t want her shooting at me! You Sayin You Don't Wanna Be GUT Shot?
Good grief how old are you? Was your buddy Jesus valedictorian of your class?For sure. I hunted from the time I was ten years old until I was 25, with open sights.

77 come June SS! Still lov’en life. After all the nonsense you and I have seen, it still find the majority are basically good. So if that makes Christ my valedictorian, yes he was.Good grief how old are you? Was your buddy Jesus valedictorian of your class?
We're seeing more and more of this in Colorado. One Utard with a tag and seven trucks in camp with Utah plates. It's really getting ridiculous.^ tell me you’re from Utah without telling me you’re from Utah

Yep, Utah hunters starting to show up like the huge camps from Texas, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Nebraska, California, Oklahoma, Wisconsin etc etc etc. Imagine that.We're seeing more and more of this in Colorado. One Utard with a tag and seven trucks in camp with Utah plates. It's really getting ridiculous.
Registered MormonI'm not familiar with that term?
Right.Registered Mormon
Every state has this. Seen plenty of Colorado pics with a whole posse of trucks and peopleWe're seeing more and more of this in Colorado. One Utard with a tag and seven trucks in camp with Utah plates. It's really getting ridiculous.

Are you going to make us guess which one?According To An MM'ER Here On The Forums I'm a RMJ!

I'm ok with that.I just got back from Southern Utah shed hunting, I seen 9 colorado trucks and 5 Wyoming plates 2 California and 1 Nevada. All shed hunters.
It's okay for you guys to come to our state when your shed season is closed, but by god when yours open up it’s not okay and we're the bad guys.
Come next year if it passes which I pray it does. Non resident has to wait till may 1 to shed hunt.
I’ve personally never hunted Utah and never been a part of anyone’s Utah hunts. It’s a little unfair when Utah makes it where even their residents have a hard time getting tags and Colorado has a come one come all approach. I don’t see how anyone can argue that it’s getting too crowded in the Colorado woods. Something has to be done about it, and the Colorado resident hunters should not be the first on the chopping block.I just got back from Southern Utah shed hunting, I seen 9 colorado trucks and 5 Wyoming plates 2 California and 1 Nevada.

Oh you mean like before the shed season in CO when the first of February there were camps or 10+ vehicles in the mountains...and I do mean multiple camps like that of all utards that were doing nothing but she'd hunting?? You do realize that co implemented the shed season partly because of the sheer number of utah folks that were here harassing the animals before they even shed their horns. But God forbid it happens in your state.I just got back from Southern Utah shed hunting, I seen 9 colorado trucks and 5 Wyoming plates 2 California and 1 Nevada. All shed hunters.

I noticed in the video they use walki-talki , is that legal in utard ville?
I can’t wait to watch the states with shed seasons being outlawed until May 1st.I just got back from Southern Utah shed hunting, I seen 9 colorado trucks and 5 Wyoming plates 2 California and 1 Nevada. All shed hunters.

Who?The mountain ops stuff is kinda corny kinda like a lot of product promotion. But I’m glad the Alaskan resident is here to bless us with his opinions as if he’s the Messiah of the hunting world.
Do you have proof? By all means share with all of us.You do realize that co implemented the shed season partly because of the sheer number of utah folks that were here harassing the animals before they even shed their horns.
I never said they were harassing wildlife now did I. Hmm interestingBut God forbid it happens in your state.
Post a hunting video he’ll be sure to let you know what you could have done better real quick.Who?
