USA (Ammoland.Com) – How to find a bull elk on the last weekend of elk season on public land? Easy, just follow the fresh tracks laid down by Randy Newberg. On this week’s Federal Premium’s Fresh Tracks with Randy Newberg, Newberg buys an over-the-counter tag for an elk on a public land hunt in western Colorado. While his good friend and hunting partner, Mark Hiroven, hunts for mule deer, Newberg heads to the high ground. Tune in to this week’s Federal Premium’s Fresh Tracks with Randy Newberg on Sportsman Channel, Thursday, October 2 at 7:30 p.m. MT.
“These elk are here for the taking. You just have to shoulder your pack, climb the hill and find them,” said Newberg. And that’s exactly what he did after heading to his usual hunting spot where he never sees another human, but this year he finds six trucks parked at the trailhead. So Newberg changes plans.
“Elk are in different locations at different times of year for different reasons – usually based on hunting pressure and weather,” commented Newberg. He heads to an area where he knows the typical hunter won’t go because of the greater amount of climbing – and no vehicles are allowed, which means he will have to pack out his elk.
“If you put the work into it, you will be able to find a nice bull elk on public land. But you just have to go where no one else will go,” said Newberg. “I wish I could say it is easy. The concept is easy, but you have to put effort into it.”
Federal Premium’s Fresh Tracks with Randy Newberg takes the same self-guided public land story viewers have come to love with his award-winning series, On Your Own Adventures, and tells that story in a deeper “behind the scenes” format.
This season also includes segments highlighting The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), which is the largest land access program in history. “LWCF provides millions of acres of public hunting access, yet it largely goes unnoticed by the hunting community,” commented Newberg. “If LWCF is not reauthorized by Congress in 2015, hunters will definitely notice that. My goal is to educate and inform so hunters can take actions locally and nationally.”
