Hello,
I am new to elk hunts. I have done it once in unit 10 and could not find anything. I am trying to do as much research online as possible. This years, I have unit 8 which is south of Unit 10 and I am going for cow. Some questions I have are, Can cow elk be down in by calls? I have a bugle that I bought online and I also have a call called Baby Hoochie Mama. Any success stories with these types of calls for cow.
Also, two weekends ago, I drove up to Williams and drove around the area to do some scouting. I did not see any Elk. I saw some droppings from Elk but they were dry and old. I saw several deer but I was not going for them. I have researched that Elk do not like snow and will go down to lower grounds if there is snow in the mountains. So, I am hoping there will be snow up there when I go in Dec. One other questions, I have quads that I wanted to take up there during the hunt, I never see anything or hear of anyone using quads while hunting. Do you recommend them or should I stick to the hike?
