Local Motion: Montana Bull Elk | S4E04 | MeatEater

Steve deals with bad weather and fierce competition during a late-season Montana elk hunt. Steve finds plenty of elk on this public land hunt, but he'll have to hike hard in steep country and deeps snow to get to the elk and away from other hunters.

I've only become interested in hunting along with my son over the last couple years because I didn't come from a hunting/firearm family. But since I've started watching your videos (due to my sons recommendation), I've grown a huge respect for you and the lessons you teach. Life is hard work, along with rough days. Its about excitement and disappointment, lessons learned, and forgotten. Its about growing as a person, while still having the ability to stay small. I've seen you grow as a hunter and person since I started watching. I look forward to having as many of these experiences as I can with my son. Thanks for the content

This is one of the finest television shows ever made so knowledgeable and honest, it has revolutionized the way I think about hunting

Steve waxes poetry when he narrates. The modern philosopher hunter-monk. He does a great job of carrying the legacy forward from the outdoors-men ancestors that came before us.
Thanks Steve and team, keep it up. You're doing a great service to humanity, helping others to deeply understand who we are for ourselves.

Steve, just wanted to thank you. I have walked the same paths, from shrimp and crabs to elk in the Rockies....but the old bones just aren’t the same anymore. I love your ethics and envy your youth, and appreciate getting the share your adventures.... so many memories.

Steve: "World's finest meat... Elk."

Joe Rogan watching on tv, naked: "You're damn right it is..."

Drinking game.. every time Steve says “you gotta be kidding me”

This has to be my favorite episode, it shows the reality of true hunting for most people. I hunt public land (which most of us do) and you really get to learn the nature of other hunters and how to play the "game". Sure it sucks some years, you go home empty handed most of the time, but at the end of the day, 90% of the time we are out there.. just to be out there. Cheers to all the hunters who find their peace in sitting for hours on end. Better luck next year, and here's to getting that wall mount!

I love the fact that Seven, still putts out the video even when he's not successful in the hut, because we have all been there many times.

[ultorgv]

I have so much respect to the fact that he had the patience and the respect to let the other hunter have the better opportunity.

I moved from Tennessee to Wyoming about 10 years ago.... I feel in love with Elk... I have been blessed to see many Elk in the bridger-teton National Forest near the Teton Mountains... Elk is my favorite

I always carry an extra base layer in my pack. It’s so fast and easy to just get out of that sweaty shirt and get a dry one next to my skin. Well worth the weight in my pack and saves me nearly every climb when I’m elk hunting.
In warm early season weather I carry a washcloth that’s very wet and a lil scent free liquid soap in a ziplock back to reach under my shirt and wipe off after a hot hike.
Very refreshing and I think keeps my scent down some. Also great for cleaning my hands after a gut job.
Love your videos and your show Steve!!

[MultiMrNoone]

I like the skunked videos best. Hits me right in the feels. I’ve definitely gone hunting and gotten skunked far more than been successful.

[Thisismycomment.]

I've been hunting in Montana all my life, and one of the most frustrating things is definitely other hunters on public land. Obviously they have just as much right to be there as anyone else, but it definitely can be a little bit discouraging. Great hunt Steve, really enjoy the show 👍🇺🇲

[ericwiitala]

"That sinking feeling it ain't gonna happen." Yup... I hear ya. Great video and that's a great representative of public land hunting.

[jamesosborne]

By far the best real hunting show anywhere

[migg]

i thought he switch from hunting the bull elk to that guy lmao

[rcknrll]

The most relatable episode I've watched so far.

[travisevans]

Love the authenticity of this video. Huge effort. Very frustrating and after days of hunting you end up skunked. “It’s just nice being out here.”

[rogerramjet]

I lived in Belgrade Montana. Have had same experience many times. It’s a part of the hunt. Nice video. Brought back l lot of memories. Thank you for that.

2:45 reminded me of my 70 yesr old grandpaw taking me hunting back in the 90’s. We’d sit at the top of a little hill in his 20-30 year
Old chevy and glass the draws, spot one and Id have to go chase after it. Good times
