I get it. Shit happens. But when it does, make a youtube video of it and put a score guess thread on the internet. Takeaways.. that camera stand - must have.

Not an ounce of meat.

Just finished up this video of my cousin's late-season elk hunt. 2023 was a tough year for this unit. We sure had a lot of fun together and were bummed the hunt ended so quickly; needless to say, we made the best of it. Watch for the special guest appearance by Gledeasy ;) With the "Ground...

Bunch of Boners. Maybe a 300" bull

Now I know why some states don't want non-residents hunting in their wilderness areas.

I dont get how you give up looking so quick? Would it have been that hard to locate him on a map with onx and... walk there ?

My son in law is a wizard with onX. His bull rolled out of sight in to some timber. He dropped a pin from where we were at when he shot to where the bull was. mtmuley

There's a compass tool, if you know the range of the animal, you can drop a pin in that direction at that distance and it will usually get you pretty close to where you shot it.

I just use the basics. Guess I need to up my onX game. mtmuley

There's a whole lot of epic fail on that elk hunt. Biggest is the complete cluelessness of it all, and making a guess the score thread on a ridiculous video of it.

I am still learning my way around basemap but my sig range finder will drop a pin into my app. I forgot to download the maps for basemap this last season but my self dropped points in onx were not noticeably different.

Loading the high resolution offline maps into my onx instead of low res made a huge difference for accurately dropping points

The first 5 seconds of that video

I could have predicted with certainty what was about to take place.

Used the compass tool to be sure I was good on a group of elk this year. Pretty neat technology. I'll have a lot more confidence in it in the future. Waited way longer than I needed to just to be extra sure they were on public.

Also kinda bugs me that he generated a few hundred views, and some money, just from the content being shared - even in an unapproving light.

 

[Sasquatchewan]

Skipped most of it but I did enjoy the "5 minute craft" tune.

I guess I didn’t watch the video close enough but I didn’t see them say that they weren’t able to salvage any of the meat?

Yeah, or even easier. Have one of the gaggle of friends you have stay on one side while the rest of the gaggle hike across the canyon. He didn't shoot six miles.

All this technology does is remove common sense. Woodsmanship doesn't exist anymore.

Video's like that make me question this big tent approach of getting more people into hunting. I don't think so.

Edit: answered above

 

[WBouldin]

This is the best part IMO - dudes rippin company time on a Friday trying to score a bull from a bunch of amateur film.

They lost 100% of the meat by letting it lay with the guts in it over night. Of course it was "sketchy" out there, and their headlamps were going dead. Might as well forget about 250 lbs of elk meat, we'll go get a good night's sleep, come back mid morning, hike in 10 minutes, take a couple pictures and call it good.

I have flagging tape in my pack that I have used to mark where I shot from. mtmuley
