Manufacturer: Primos

This video is worth a place in the collection of hunters interested in collecting prize trophies. As is expected from Primos, Primos delivers more than just a hunting video. It is no surprise that most serious hunters prefer to own the entire Truth series. The Truth 10-Big Bulls’ is a fantastic elk hunting video featuring elk hunts with rifle, bows, and muzzleloaders.

The hunts are carried out in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, and Arizona. It’s heartening to note that elk population is on the rise and they are returning to the plains once again. The hunts are carried out on private land as opposed to public land.

Especially interesting to viewers would be the instructive part on performing calls. The use of different calls to produce different sounds will prove helpful to both the veteran and the novice alike. A preview of new bugle system is a plus.

The video is shot beautifully and Primos’s love for the outdoors and wildlife is evident in the fact that the hunting team is seen enjoying the beauty and magnificence of both land and animals. Hunting is not just about getting the kill and a few close encounters without taking a shot prove this.

Anyone considering an elk hunt should definitely see this video.
