I go out for the start of rut season in hopes of finding some bull elk in southern New Mexico.

Great video! What aftermarket collar did you use for the RF 800mm f11?
This is pretty amazing, great footage and music as well
Really enjoyed this video Brent and Stupid O clock is the best time to get out 🌞 The elk was beautiful, I wish we had them here. I really enjoyed the footage of the Gambel's quail. Great captures. Wildlife photography is very difficult and you do have to keep going as I find you get rewarded for that. Thanks for sharing another great video ☺️ Jennifer
Seen elk one time this summer and was able to video from a log way out with new lens. so, any way I am still hunting them and deer. as you say it takes a lot of patience and luck. thanks for all you do.
Sounds like one of my wildlife encounters.
Loving the R5/6 and 800 content! I'm currently on the EOS-R and want tp upgrade to get IBS and the 800.
This was like a zen video The wildlife and music are a perfect combo. Will be looking forward to a lucky fluffy elk. Good job.
The elk bugle is an absolutely majestic sound.
The music evokes a sense of anticipation for the elk. Great selection.
Excellent video as usual. NM is green and beautiful again. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the advice on not giving up. This was very enjoyable and inspiring. And I must say that what is not wowing you, is though still wowing me 🙂
Stupid o'clock is when the best light is
Are sunrises really THAT interesting?
I just went out in the middle of the day or early afternoon until it got too dark for my RF 800 F11, never really felt that i need to stand up early, or better… wanted.
stupid oclock is when the magic happens!
That’s really pretty area. What part of New Mexico is that?
Thanks for another beautiful video and one that gives us incentive to try to emulate. When we don't see wildlife, we may get discouraged, but we don't have the pressure to put out another YT video! I hope you can just continue to enjoy what you do and keep sharing with us the sense of beauty that you feel. You can only do so much you know, the wildlife has to do their part too!
Praying to the Elk Gods that you'll come across some elk with beautiful lighting!!! hahaha thanks for another video! I still enjoy watching all your videos whether you're putting out amazing wildlife captures or not. Thanks for the motivation!
