MadMax692 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 So quick question while I have service and eating lunch.. Been on several good bulls seen around 47 bulls they are bugling but not coming to cow/ bugle call. They are heading for cover early then coming down to feed late. What should I do? I'm thinking about sneaking in on bugles and not calling much, just enough so they will give away there location. Any advice. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azelkhunter69 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 You can try sneaking in on them. You may have better luck trying to intercept them though. If you know where they are headed, get there before they do and wait. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Workman Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Let the elk do the calling for you and sneak in on them. Everytime you call you are giving away your location. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AverageJoe Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Just chase bugles. When you are close grab a big branch and do your best to initate an elk raking a tree. Works great. Leave the cow calls at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted September 18, 2014 What you described doing will work perfect. If you know where they sleep and where they eat, just get between the two and when you hear a bull bugling, get set up in front of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pine Donkey Report post Posted September 18, 2014 You need to get where they will be. If they are vocal, you can pinpoint them and adjust your position. If they are not vocal, your calls will sound unnatural. Be patient, when elk move through an area it is often in a series of small groups and satellites. If you don't cut off the first group, just hang out and something else may materialize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoghntr Report post Posted September 18, 2014 All awesome advice! Hard to chase down an elk so interception is key! if you hear fighting get up & get in there and being near water after a rumble is always a bonus. good luck and most of all enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
