Default Southern Alberta Trophy Elk Hunt VIDEO 2018

Hello friends, just wanted to share this short video of my 2018 Prairie Elk Hunt. This not a "how to" video this is just a "how it was" story. This was a super special tag for me as I had never had the privilege of harvesting one of these magnificent animals, hunting them on and off over 17 years. Was lucky enough to have Brenden James Anderson along and professional photographer Jamie Edwards to capture this hunt like only he could.

*THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SCENES THAT MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS- VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED

Great video and experience. Amazing how those little pockets in the hills can hide that many elk, and boy do they sure know how to use them.

Congratulations

Great video, thanks for sharing! Brought back lots of memories of my prairie hunt 3 years ago, pretty similar. Amazing how many elk can disappear into those small depressions and also how much ground they can cover as they walk and graze. Congrats on your bull!

Awesome. Love the honesty and the real emotions!!
Well done with the details coming up on the screen to describe things as you went. I knew from the title that you would get him, but was still riveted to see how and when. Incredible patience to hold back for a clear shot. Many would have lost it and put lead in the air much sooner.
Thanks for sharing and congrats.
