vincefmx Report post Posted July 29, 2013 listen to what the elk are doing, it could be silent for the most part, or they could be going off up there, in which case you will have some luck calling in smaller bulls. Personally i think calling is a waste of time , you rarely have the big bulls come in unless its a perfect situation. best way in my opinion is to scout the area well, find the routes leading to/from bedding/feeding areas, and be there an hour before dawn breaks preferrably with the sun at your back. stay off the edges,dont get too close so you can angle in and cut them off. Ive had the best odds doing this and may only ever bugle to locate, thats it. watch the wind, cover scents and sprays are BS, find wallows and sit them mid-day if hot....good luck! if its anything like last yr. up there it should be great. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohntr6 Report post Posted August 7, 2013 What are your plans/preparation? Have you done any scouting? Get a few elk hunting movies and watch them. Have you ever elk hunted before? Expectations? I had this hunt last year and I have the same hunt again this year. Last year I didnt have to do much calling because most bulls were pretty vocal so I just got the wind in my favor and went in on the bull. The hunt is less than SIX weeks away!!! I am excited to say the least. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
