 It's time to go we're getting off this mountain ladies and gentlemen welcome to day five Today's all about finding a good burger and an adult beverage and recharge and get a little pampering in For the snowstorm. Would you say it's been well-earned? It has been very well-earned, especially last night Yes, they have seen skin removal for this trip. What was the most days you've done on your back? Shoot probably like three so five good. That's good. Yeah It's long Have I earned it and you're under 10,000 foot merit badge and I can bugle Bugle merit badge, so I'm getting me an eagle scout by the end. Yeah So we're taking the easy way out with the four-wheelers Getting down off the mountain and then the snowstorm is supposed to be really bad We're gonna check the weather once we get into town, but they're calling for seven inches of snow nine inches or nine degrees being the low Apparently that shuts the elk down that also shuts my Whole system down the bikes that we rode in on We're gonna just gravity ride those down and Since we've we've got more guys here. It's a little bit easier to get here down the mountain But anyway, we're gonna take you guys into town today. Have a little adventure We'll pampering Maybe get a shower, you know Shower after five days might be good my truck is Covered with stuff right now yesterday, mind you And this is actually pretty dangerous right now because the trees can fall over If we were up in the mountains right now There would be so much deadfall It'd be severely dangerous and we even had a live tree fall just a minute ago This live aspect tree just cracked over it is sitting on top of our trailer the born and raised guys trailer So it's dead at the top. It's damaged it And before we can go back into the woods, we're gonna have to get a chainsaw And cut through all this So it's not good Really scary part is We ran into some guys when we were coming off the mountain yesterday That were fans of born and raised And the hushed guys and we were talking with them and they were going in as we were leaving. Oh My god All right, seriously pray for them right now because it's gonna be One hell of a time on that mountain just trying to stay safe try to stay warm Try to stay dry Imagine a tent our little mountain tits and this kind of stuff up on top and we're 3,000 people low where we were up there It's gonna be so cold. It's gonna be blowing sideways and snowing way more So glad we came off that mountain Look at the roots Just pulling that thing out Y'all the storm is Shit Look at that tree. I really do too. That's stuff. I At this point really don't know. I don't know how the roads are gonna be like getting back onto the mountain. I Mean this is in town now in love. I know I can all these trees are like this. We're off to get breakfast It's banks get recharged, but we may run into a roadblock here This is Probably the worst windstorm I have ever seen That's not like a tornado Just a mountain storm All these beautiful aspens and birches just knock down That sucks Day everybody we've made it through the storm the town is just cleaning up now There's a big one. We had to come off the mountain today We're going back into the wilderness Hopefully we can get up to where some elk are the roads could be blocked with trees We just do not know But we've we've had a nice little stay here got an Airbnb Kind of get to hang out a little bit I haven't had my big camera with me camera. I'm blogging on right now because it's been so heavy I haven't had room to take it in my pack figured before we go back in just give you guys a little introduction to the born and raised crew and also Hushin who's been hunting with us, but they're about to take off to Utah case Hey there, what's the deal here? It's just kind of a sad day I don't I don't even really want to talk about it, but we have to we have to go our separate ways the crews dividing I didn't really get to tell the backstory of when we first met. Oh, you didn't that day. Yeah Me and Casey Matt on the world famous Lake fork many many moons. They go before I even had a channel going I had like a GoPro hero one. I was kind of messing around you came down to Texas Yep, Ed Bassmaster You guided Ed one day. Yeah, you were guiding right for yeah, yeah So you guided Ed and then we went and had dinner that night. We didn't mean you didn't actually fish We just went at dinner, but you were getting YouTube going. Yep, and you were like, dude You should you should start a channel man. It might be something good for you dude That was eight years ago and now look where you're at. Yeah, look where we're both at We're out here meeting in the mountains just hanging out in the woods making home videos together It's pretty cool pretty cool backstory the hushing guys they've been with us this whole time and You guys are now going to Utah. Yeah, right seeing how it was your boy Yep My son has a tag that starts on the 12th And so I can go an archery hunt for the next two days hunt slash scout for him And then we'll go go grab him and hunt with him, but I think you guys are gonna go get on some bowls today That's what we're gonna do this last chance This is where we're gonna part ways, but we're gonna meet up. It's not good. Bye. It's not good Bye. It's just until later just until later. We're gonna maybe do I'm gonna say maybe a mountain mule deer hunt and trout fishing Yep, how about that? That's gonna happen. Okay. Do you want to see that? Let us know in the comments down below or we can go bass fishing Point is got good outdoor friends out here. Definitely make sure to go follow these guys and You know Casey had a part of me getting started in YouTube. So pretty big deal It's a little too late. We've surpassed that good try Why what you got? Oh, man, it's been great It's been a it's been quite the adventure from hiking out camping on the back of a mountain to Camping in a jumping jack to ending up here at the Serbian be with the boys Which was a nice little addition It's good. Bye. No pressure Justin need to get a bull my first one So I've been hearing so many stories. I've gotten, you know, I've gotten more confident Just hanging around you guys just hearing Tricks Structural integrity of the trailer has been compromised. Yeah, let's see. Yeah, let's see what you got You've got daylight. You've got daylight throughout the inside Yeah We're talking possible spray foam. Maybe I don't know that's gonna leak. Yeah, that's definitely come around here I'll show you yikes That was the tree That fell on it. Oh In the innards so you can you get a pretty good view through there Yeah, maybe some spray foam might do the trick just to keep water out for now Maybe yeah, maybe put in an extra No mountain houses were harmed in this act, which is good zero amount of mountain house was harmed in the middle of this tree fell But still not awesome. So but we're gonna pack up here and we're gonna head back to the mountains We weathered the storm we are all super glad that we were not out there yesterday. Oh, yeah, that was bad It was bad, but it'll look at this now. I feel guilty for not being out there this morning I kind of I'm gonna get over it. I think I'll get over it. It's Trevor. Your brother's here somewhere Yep, he's doing his hair makeup and all that brushing teeth, but Trent and Trevor Born and raised outdoors these guys have been alcoining for how long you've been out of college Man your wife you remember going up dad before we could get a tag and packing animals and him shooting them boat bow hunting Yeah, that's part of your name like born and raised your whole family everybody is into that I think that is so cool. I've learned so much me and JT my buddy from Texas where he is alcoining He has more experience than me But Trent and Trevor really have and their whole team actually have so much experience so much knowledge I've watched a ton of their tip videos watch their first video two years ago when I was trying to help On my own and I didn't really know how to call I got a personal lesson from Trent And now I feel like I can go out and bugle But I mean honestly honestly that the information is out there, right? I guess so I mean it's just kind of I think it's a lot of like fishing like we're talking the other night Just having the confidence of doing it, right? You know just kind of just okay. I don't care how I sound I'm gonna go out here, and I'm going to try to stir up something and you guys brought that out of me Like I was definitely a little intimidated And then you throw something out there you look like Dude, that's fine. It was great. It's awesome and something really cool You all have done is y'all do a ton of public land hunts Yeah, and you've shown the world that it is it is highly possible to go out there Work your butt off and you're gonna get on some elk. You just have to keep trucking. Yeah, so it only takes one Yeah, no, it's that's fact. That's the key. That one's gonna happen today. This is our last chance We're gonna be heading back into the mountains. Hopefully we don't have too many trees in the way And we're gonna be packing out. We're packing in a little lighter and just probably on our feet a lot Yeah, just moving just moving and bugling. Yeah new area. I've been to this area before but we'll see I don't know I've it's been good at times and it's as the times. It's been real rough So but after that we've had some snow there's probably some snow a little higher elevation big weather change big weather change Postfront usually post front for fishing is like terrible But you're saying elk usually they get down. Yeah, sometimes they have that resting day like to kind of acclimate themselves And then but with this cold weather system coming in and it's like continuous. I mean we were hunting 83 degrees 84 degrees That's nuts for elk and at 10,000 feet, you know, so turn the rut. That's what I'm hoping man. That's what we're hoping That's that's the goal What do we got boys You see all that temper that was down no Yeah It's gonna be a mess up here got Trevor from born and raised in the adventure wagon right now and we're heading out into the wilderness We've just been talking learning about this new venture of elk hunting. We've had a little curve ball thrown our way Yeah, life gives you those Really bad storm. There's snow all over the ground now and we're going back to Well, it's not even the same mountain range. It's kind of the same general area, but we're switching up spots There's gonna be a ton of trees down where we were just gonna be nasty. I I don't know What are you expecting up here in these mountains? I think we're not really worried about the snowfall But it blew like a hurricane force winds legit And I think thousands of trees fell down and so the big question is is Access are we even gonna be able to get to the mountain where we want to hunt this type of hunting? I've had so many questions because everything is is new and it's there's more of an adventure Around elk hunting. It's not just you know, hey, go sit in a tree stand. You're probably gonna see a few deer It's like you need to be you need to know what is going on with the area the weather Your gear it has to be dialed or you're gonna have a very rough time Every step of it is an adventure, right? It's not just the actual taking a shot like getting to the spot That's a big part of this right getting there and then the hiking up and it's that's what we love is I Think one of the things we love about it is stick and move We just we're not afraid to try a new spot pick a spot on the map And that's what we're doing today. We're picked a spot on the map We're hoping we can make it there and maybe there'll be an elk in this style The born and raised style of elk hunting is is pretty aggressive and it is like ground and pound so one thing I noticed it's like you guys will take breaks and Really enjoy like the experience of being up there, but when it's go time like when you're a Buickle It's hey every every hand on deck. Let's go and let's go get this elk They've been following along on this series for four days. You guys haven't even really seen an elk yet. I know It's kind of over here for a little bit. I'm sorry. We're really sorry. It can be a little discouraging, but this is real This is real life. We have this phrase it only takes one and We have less than 24 hours to get this done. We have an evening hunt this evening and we have a morning hunt tomorrow and so we are driving several hours to a different spot that we haven't tried yet and We're we're putting all of our eggs in a completely different basket because the one that we are at wasn't working So we'd rather spend a day in some new place Than two days in a place that wasn't working. The other thing that's really neat if this works out It's gonna be so epic as you guys have told me since we got here is It's a rule of eight When you're elk hunting in a lot of these public lands and in Colorado with these crazy winds and everything and I believe we're on Seven is what we ended on. Okay. Just so you know, that's not a scientific study We we say usually it takes about eight really close encounters before you get one that all of a sudden just works and You get a shot opportunity make a shot and get a bull We've had seven So I don't know game seven world series. Are we at that right now? This could be epic. Oh, it's gonna be stay tuned You can get through like right here, there's one spot that you can actually get through it's actually pretty pretty easy That one that dirt trolley played it. It was it was right there on that ridge We have made it to our final destination y'all gorgeous up here Just saw a mule deer walking around there is quite a few hunters up here, but One of the guys was a fan of born and raised and just gave us a little intel and they've been hearing a lot of bugle So I hope it comes together. It's gonna be really cold So we're gonna pack down to basically like one meal Some snacks and stuff like that and we're just going for it Just going in tonight hunting this evening Then we're hunting in the morning and maybe if we get on something we'll hunt in the afternoon But I've got a wedding to get to after that. That's where it gets a little tricky. So I'm gonna switch up I've got a light puffy on I think I'm gonna go to my heavy puffy material and Just really make sure I have stuff to cover up the extremities Also got a new set of boots that I'm wearing My last ones my feet got super tore up as you guys saw and the guys just felt bad And they gave me a pair of their boots one of their sponsors their Hanwags So I've been wearing like breaking them in this morning still really stiff, but They bead watered like a dag on ducks back So that should be good got to keep the feet dry and I'm also gonna wear gaiters in which are covering that goes under over your calves And just kind of keep keep your system dry, you know dry and happy Dehydrated if you wanted some elk jerky elk jerky from Trevor himself. Yeah from one of your elk. I'm assuming yeah Extra protein extra fuel these guys have meat for days. It's so awesome So I'm gonna leave the big camera at the truck I'm just gonna take in like the GoPro or whatever and that's it. We're going from there. We're going super light We're hunting hard. Hopefully it goes down guys either way. I've learned a ton on this trip When I started getting the elk hunting last year, I kind of viewed it as a lifetime journey Something I'm gonna do for a long time. I thought to myself. Is this something that I can get into being growing up Like as a southern whitetail hunter. Is this something I could get into? 100% addicted last year. I did my toe This year. I'm like waist deep. I think next year. I'm going full in maybe I don't know a couple weeks on the road Maybe all of September. I don't know. It's such a it's a tough time to fish in Texas Where I'm from so it's a good opportunity to kind of switch over and these guys got me fired up So hushing guys a left just born and raised my buddy JT We got Jake camera guy and Steve is with us from born and raised as well. So as five guys are going in Let's get her done How's it going? Decent zoom they got the the focus figured out. Yep What's the audio like on that guy just terrible incredible check check check we got this Gotcha got ya. Yep. I think I nailed that. I'll replay it later, but I think I got that
