Cool Hand Matthew Strikes in Arizona

[step66hen]

Matthew " Cool Hand " Newberg strikes again in Arizona Monster Elk. Congrats to Matthew on another successful elk hunt. I really enjoy watching Randy ( Father ) and Matthew ( Son ) adventures. Their Bond is Far Greater than the out come of the hunt. Watching the Love and Respect between them. My Hats Off to the Newberg Family, Randy and Kim did a Good Job.

Reminds me of the bull he killed way back when all of this was just starting.

Great bull! That top photo makes it look like it has a third main beam.

I just listened to the Elk Talk podcast recapping some of this hunt. Sounded pretty fun. How long are those fourths?!

 

[Buschy]

Dang what an impressive bull! The picture and what it conveys is more impressive. Sooo veeery cool!

Congrats to Matthew! Those G4s are something else.

Great looking bull….I wish I had a dad like Randy to put me on a critter like that and show up to shoot ‘em

 

[mrcowboy]

Great AZ bull.

24” and 22”. Main beams are over 50” and the width is 51”.

When folks see the episode, they’re gonna laugh. I’ll never apply for that tag. Until that one fell into our lap, five days of hunting produced one spike.

That afternoon Matthew, Michael and I had a production meeting discussing what the hell we were going to be able to make out of five days of boring nothing. We had written this off as a huge investment of dollars, time, and effort that would be a big dud.

We decided to go retry a spot for the last evening and the hunting gods felt sorry for us. By far the biggest stroke of luck we’ve ever had in seventeen years of filming.

I’ll take good luck any day and this was a stroke of luck beyond anything we deserved.

Some would argue that Merriam’s DNA is unmistakable in those AZ elk.

Cool Beans!
Taint no elks in that country.

Was this a tag for the summer?
Watching the first episode now. Answered my own question. Great bull and good to see you two making multiple hunts this fall.

What a bull...also makes me want a suppressor.

You deserve one.
