In Episode 3 of the Champions League Hunt, Day 2 delivers both adrenaline and heartbreak.

The crew starts the morning glassing a herd of roughly 30 elk before Brandon locks onto a Colorado giant — a bull in the mid-300s that instantly changes the tone of the day. Mistakes were made but with hearts still racing, the team commits to an evening ambush, hoping for another glimpse of the bull.

As light fades, the plan shifts — instead of the big bull, Jared spots a bear across the canyon and takes a 960yd shot using Brandon’s rifle, adding a new twist to an already eventful day.

Exhaustion from the previous day’s canyon hike sets in, and small communication breakdowns in the moment may have cost the crew a chance at Brandon’s once-in-a-lifetime bull. This episode captures the raw side of hunting — the fatigue, the teamwork, and the lessons that only long days in the field can teach.
