I'm Guy Eastman your host and this is Eastman's hunting TV today we're gonna
go to southern Colorado and hunt big bugle and bulls we're gonna go along
with our 2011 hunt winner Curt Tobias how's it going man
I am doing great good excited as can be it's going to be awesome ready to hunt some elk oh yeah I am ready counting down the minutes
Curt is smiling from ear to ear and after spending a little time talking with him
I've learned that he's been a subscriber to Eastman's hunting journal for over 20
years our hunt winners have set the bar very high over the past couple of years
they've taken some really nice trophy bulls we're hoping to continue this
trend with Curt it begins with the legendary pioneer in wildlife filming
wilderness adventure and fair chase trophies define him the son adds to the
legacy and becomes the voice for a generation of hunters today the third
generation pursues trophy big-game in places where success comes from skill
determination and grit now 60 years of hunting tradition comes down to one
defining moment we're the Eastmans we've been filming and hunting for over
60 years and three generations and these are just a few of our adventures this is
Eastman's hunting TV it's big-game hunting and it's as real
as it gets we barely made it out of camp the first
evening of the hunt before running into this really nice bull since we're
literally only minutes into our hunt we decided to pass up on this bull and
continue looking for a bigger one
he's a slob
want these shooting sticks no
I'm guessing these in the 360 plus Ranger
while with the wind beginning to swirl we decided to leave in hopes of turning
this bull up again in the coming days
it's the first morning of the hunt and we're headed back into the same Canyon
we spotted the huge bull in the night before
I think he's on the other side
rutting activity was off the charts there were Bulls chasing cows all over
the canyon as well as two bulls sparring in the bottom but still no sign of
Curt's big bull heck of a rut fest going in here this morning the same things
last night these Bulls are just trying to get it all sorted out and they're
just going crazy on each other it's pretty awesome I think I don't think Curt
wants to go home he might just become a Colorado resident
bulls bugling everywhere get over here to the side to see if
I can spot him didn't make it far before we spotted these cows in the bottom and
a few Bulls running around inside the timber so we got Curt set up just in
case the big bull showed up
nice bull but he's not the one that we came in here for
after heading back to camp to take a break and eat some lunch we were back at
it later on that afternoon bunch of elk bugling up at the top of the drainage
there's another one right there I just got a funny feeling that's where the big
guy is we couldn't find this morning we'd seen just about every other bull we
knew of except for the big one so we stayed on the move hoping we could turn
the bull up somewhere although there was plenty of entertainment going on in the
bottom we still hadn't seen the huge bull we were looking for we stayed on
the move and just before the sunset on the second evening of the hunt
Curt's big bull showed up on a distant hillside we looked for him all day been
dancing around him all day and we finally found him pretty much right
where he was last night this morning he was in there he wasn't talking and then
tonight miraculously he's right where he was all along tomorrow's a new day
see if we go get him
let's catch back up with the crew the following morning as they try to close
the distance on this giant
I'm pretty sure that he's up on top of the plateau over in the corner
we took Paul's advice and headed up onto the plateau it wasn't long before we
struck up a bugling bull so we quickly moved in and set up
what oh yeah I think it might be him
he was standing there his eye guards coming together at the end yeah real big
body Curt won this hunt by subscribing to Eastman's bow hunting journal and I
don't know if you signed up anybody's or not by the way that works you get one
chance in the Hat for your subscription and another chance for each buddy to
sign up for the magazine and Curt's been loves for a long time over 20 years with
the magazine so he's from Bakersfield California and he won this hunt so
remember to make sure you get your subscriptions renewed and sign up your
buddies for Eastman's hunting or bow hunting journal and you could be here sitting
right next to me next year on a trophy elk on here in Colorado so remember
until next time fair chase is the only way to hunt and take trophy big game I'm
