SIG SAUER Presents “Now it’s Real,” a New Backcountry Archery Elk Hunting Film in Partnership with GOHUNT

Tuesday, August 20th, 2024

An archery elk hunt is the pinnacle for many hunters—like GOHUNT’s own Omar Lopez. When their founder, Lorenzo Sartini, invited him to join his next elk hunt, Omar couldn’t contain his excitement. However, while planning their hunt, Lorenzo’s appendix ruptured, throwing a massive wrench into their plans. Trying to fill two tags in two different units is hard enough when not recovering from major surgery, but now? The pressure was really on.

The pair now venture into the backcountry with hopeful hearts, eager to pursue Omar’s first bull. All their meticulous preparation and hard work had led to this moment, and they aren’t about to let a little thing like an appendix get in the way of turning Omar’s dream into a reality.
