I don’t care how someone on the internet interprets the way I hunt. I was hunting with four great friends and we will remember this hunt for the rest of our lives. The struggles from the weather, the difficult terrain and the camaraderie can’t be replaced.

I was also able to meet the Adam, Zane and Josh (horse packers) during the hunt and through chatting, enjoying the same whiskey and telling old hunting stories we became friends and they were awesome when the time was needed to use the horses. Yeah we could have packed the bull out on our backs but the horses were nice.

As for the shot…my camera guy is as good as it gets but after I hit the bull he walked out of the spotter and he kept his “A” camera on me.  The camera guy was with me the entire hunt.

As for the bull I shot, I didn’t spot it. We were concentrating on a canyon where we had seen a bigger bull earlier in the day and we could see bulls working through the timber.  I was in a position to kill him if a shot presented itself. Since we were all there Hunter and Chris decided to go check out a canyon down the road. It just so happened they spotted that bull and wanted me to check it out.

Some may rate the hunt as a B- and I could care less. I do not hunt to check all the boxes someone may have. I hunt because I love the mountains, tough times with good friends and I love just taking it all in. As I get older that’s what it’s all about. The kill is just icing on the cake.

I hope you all enjoyed the hunt and  everyone has a great season.

Very well said but you don't have to explain yourself to 99% of the people on this forum.  Most people that draw that tag would take any and almost all help offered.  You did that tag justice for sure

Unfortunately there is always someone who wants to pick apart anything that anyone posts. What is important is that you had a great hunt that you enjoyed and the majority of people enjoyed watching your video, myself included. The canyons in that country are brutal, I can't imagine anyone not getting any help they can find to pack out an animal. Congrats to you and your friends!

I knew it was going to be a good video and thats why I posted it.  I appreciate the chance to even see the video and grab a little more insight on the area and its potential. Haters are gonna hate. Some people are just unhappy and have to critique what they don't have the ability to do or accomplish themselves. Thanks for taking us along on the hunt with you!

It's a terrific video.
I love the commeraderie and just working through the elements and toughing it out.....Oh yeah, and getting a great bull.

Sure appreciate you sharing.

Hunting with friends and a killer elk  doesn't get much better then that

Your perspective is spot on in my opinion.  Thanks for letting others tag along on a great hunt.  I hunt with family, friends, guides, solo.....on foot, truck, quad, side by side, tree stand.....etc. etc. etc.....and it is all good.  Any reason to be in woods is a good reason.  The kill is the icing on the cake.  Most people will never remember the sensation of "pulling the trigger."  Almost everyone will remember the moments leading to the pulling the trigger and the moments after.  Stay true to you and the heck with anyone that is a naysayer.

Great video and a great hunt! 

I couldn't imagine elk hunting without family and friends.

I feel there’s more complaining about people complaining on this thread than there are people actually complaining lol. I don’t see what’s wrong with people talking on a forum about a video someone shares with the world. I would be shocked if Jason cared what people thought. For him to say he doesn’t makes me think he does care which sucks but I guess that’s part of being an influencer. Super cool to come on here and answer some questions though.

He said it was a special draw on his podcast but it was west side. I saw the picture on Instagram at the time but he posts so much it's impossible to find now. I wonder what GMU he was in?

It says right at the start it was in the Blue Mts. so SE Washington.
