Warning: this video shows the graphic nature of an archery elk hunt... Viewer discretion advised. Mike and Sarah hunt elk for their first time in Colorado and Idaho with a bow. Their 3 month physical preparation pays off as they find themselves at high altitudes in the middle of nowhere with altitude sickness. Unguided, no ranches, no pay to play, Mike and Sarah find out what's its like to be challenged physically and mentally. Do they find their bull elk on Colorado and Idaho public lands and can they successfully take one down with a bow. Will 3 months of "E-Scouting", archery WODS and wind sprints pay off? Does the high altitude take its toll and send them home early? Can one simply go out West and shoot an elk their first time out?
