Hunter: Have you ever tasted 50 BMG before?

Thanks for watching! We appreciate the feedback 👊

Sometimes the elk get shot, they just stand there for 10 secs, try to run , and die

Yes, very much so.

Happy new year! 👍

If you watch very closely you can see impact points and moment of. You can see the riple of the concusion of the bullet striking flesh.

Thanks for your feedback - we'll see what we can do about that - stay tuned 👊💥

@@EastmansHuntingJournals awesome

Thank you 👍

@@EastmansHuntingJournals frustrated brave sick soldiers.

Thanks!

I personally use a .270 winchester, and have harvested 7 elk so far. Many folks think that the .270 is too light for elk, which is nonsense. Its all about bullet placement.

I'm an '06 guy. .270 is a great practical minimum, and anything over .338 Win Mag or .358 Norma is getting awfull hard to shoot well or hike with. Bullet construction and placement are key, as is knowing your own limitations. I know of elk killed with .222, .223, .243, .257 Roberts, and 30-30.

I’ve killed many elk, bulls and cows with a 25.06. It’s not about caliber it’s about shot placement, always!

300 rum… 338 lapua.. 28 nosler..

Every true sportsman hunter takes the animal and eats it. But many times we'll like hunt for a big buck and not a small one. Same can go for any animal. So in that case we ALWAYS eat the meat. And also take him because of the trophy. But we never let them go to waste. If you only hunt for trophy which sadly some people do, that's killing them for a very wrong reason. Take an animal for the meat most importantly, than because of its size. Hope this helps 🙂

I could only imagine how good that meat tastes!

ALL of the meat is eaten. Elk meat is highly prized, and it is also illegal to waste it.

I have hunted my entire life and I have taken exactly 1 bull. I hunt purely for the meat so I take a cow most of the time. But even when you do shoot a "trophy" animal meaning you take the antlers true sportsman eat the meat. True hunters have a great respect for the animals and would never let the animal go to waste. We take the meat for our use and then the guts are left for wild predators. Although some people do like to eat organs as well. But when hunters take an animal not an ounce is wasted.

I agreed! I feel like a lot/majority of shots were not at the heart or head and therefore the animal likely suffered. You?

@@texastoast5202 I always shoot to kill immediately, i.e. the vitals.

It’s because most of these so called hunters are really just Wealthy people That pay real hunters to baby sit them.

They took the meat obviously, but the guy on the right has the bull’s head to get it mounted.

Thanks for your feedback! We'll keep that in mind for our next "best of" video 👍

Ideally the animal goes down within seconds (instantly, even more so!) from the first shot. With big game a second or third is sometimes taken to speed it up and ensure a quick and clean kill!

However if you are confident with your first shot, you risk spooking them there after with more shots. Ive found if you place your first shot well, its best to wait at least about a minute and watch to see what happens. Chances are if you're comfortable with your rifle, and are a good marksman, it will only take one.

@@Mooskellunge How can you have a quick , clean kill with 3 bullets ? The pain that animal must go through .

@@paulwright9106 The goal of shooting more than once, obviously, is to put the animal down as quick as possible. More shots somehow correlates to the animal being alive longer? I don't understand what you are saying here.

The second and third shots ensure a quicker, ethical kill, and less suffering. Even after a well placed shot, an elk can run off and prolong the death. 5 minutes of running around suffering with a double lung shot? Or 10 seconds and it's all over?

It's because these guys are terrible marksman and don't know shot placement for large game.

@@brandongilpin6157 They're not running off though. These animals are hit, and remain stationary, and often succumb in less than 30 seconds. Anything more than that and you're just destroying edible meat.

You can't go wrong with Horandy's Precision Hunter in any cartridge, including 30-06.

If you are a reloader, or know someone who can reload for you, my preference is Nosler Partitions, and Nosler Accubonds.

You smile when you eat a caged cow. Quit being a hypocrite

Skill issue

Thank you so much for asking this. The answer is yes. EVERY SINGLE hunter who has taken a life has and will always feel for the animal. I have lived through this. When I was 10 I shot my first deer. That was very emotional! Not because I "murder an animal" but because it was first my time hunting and the first time I felt pure adrenaline and sadness and respect in my life. Hunting is one of the best feelings in the world.

Iv never killed an elk but I am a hunter, yes I do feel a little bad for taking the life of such a beautiful animal but at the same time I’m extremely grateful for even having the opportunity of being out in the woods doing what I love

Yes I do, that's why I do my best to make it a quick death as possible. Never take the shot if anythings even a bit off, you could easily lose the animal if it escapes and it'll live a difficult life from injury. I remember my first time hunting, I had my rifle, was by myself, and there was two rabbits. It was deep winter midnight in my backyard and everything was so silent that you could hear the rabbits chewing 15 meters away. And I just sat there and held aim for about 5 minutes before deciding to take the responsibility of the shot. All I could think about was the fact that this rabbits life was now all in my responsibility and this would change everything. I just genuinely can't help but pause and think about my responsibility in this world, my impact in the forces of nature by killing them. The rabbit was completely unphased by me, he really didn't see me as any kind of threat despite aiming a giant black metal air rifle straight to it's forehead. This shit always hits heavy for me. I think what I find funny sometimes is when people tell me, "how would you feel if you were the animal?" as if I never had the thought. I've had the thought since I was 7 and I've completely accepted that there will be things bigger than us and we will be their pets, their prizes, and they will pin us to their walls. These things bigger than us will never make me feel negative, they have responsibilities in this world too and I don't mind them making an impact. It's simply nature, nature will forever repeat itself. Afterwards, I sometimes think about how many babies the animals had and how it lived life. When you go hunting, you're putting yourself in the animal's shoes. You live a day of their lives and see what they see. Even just my comment here doesn't fully capture the entire experience, it's just something that you have to experience yourself to fully understand

Excitement

It’s an adrenaline rush yes, but it honestly is sad because you did just take a life. Although all the meat is used and sometimes the skin it is still saddening

cant take does'

@@jkkggg2799 fair enough cheers for teaching me something

Everyone has a different reason to hunt. Me and my my family do it for the meat and to put food on the table.

@@nathansloan9460 Okk👍

Mainly for meat. It's not good sportsmanship to only hunt for the trophy and let the meat go to waste.

Dirt road with grass growing over it*, likely very unused and only for the purpose of getting into the elk country.

@@Mooskellunge It's definitely an improved roadway, and he also shot from the road. Freeze frame at 20:13.

@@Angry_Chair_87 fair enough but we can't say anything for sure based on the little we saw. Its up to the hunters to know if that is a safe thing to do in their specific situation.

No one here speaks that

Food

Researching and learning the specific regulations in your area is the first step, you wont take nearly as many elk in a year (if any!) as you will something like whitetail.

Yeah I didn't understand why he shot again as he was going down🤷, probably just adrenaline but still.

❄️❄️❄️

Rahonam- Are you saying they're gonna be cursed for killing those elk?

You feed that dog caged and slaughtered horses stfu

Skitzo

We don’t eat children. Ever heard of venison? It’s just like the beef you eat but without the cage

Looks like we got an anti hunting squeaker in the comments😒

Ever see one starve to death, or be taken down by wolves or a bear? Life is hard. Grow up.

With great respect to you ....Yes, but they are animals. We are humans with a very advanced power of reason and realise deliberately causing suffering is not a good thing.

​@@colinlavery625blah blah blah blah

Yep, city folk get meat from McDonald’s or the store, we get it from the wild. Better than any factory farmed meat

The hunter will never be hunted down. Kind of dumb shit you talking about

Only a 7 year old would call life barbaric.
