5guyshunting Report post Posted August 13, 2015 Cows are good as posted. A mineral block placed in the right location will have quick results, if placed in the right location. Its pretty easy no need for a water hole. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azelkhunter69 Report post Posted August 13, 2015 You have gotten some really good advice so far that I definitely would agree with. Don't be discouraged about not seeing bulls yet. As pointed out, look for cows and old rubs. And get out there scouting the last 2 weeks before the season. You will hear them bugling early in the morning. I have had cameras out for 2 months and as far as elk go, all I've seen are some little bulls and cows. I mostly put them out for the deer and for fun. Where I hunt in 8 the big bulls don't show up until the rut starts so it is pointless to try to find them in July. I will put a camera on a wallow I know when the deer season starts in another week and leave that out until the elk season starts. Once they start using the wallow it will be nice to know what is around. Good luck and keep at it, they are there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturegirl Report post Posted August 26, 2015 All of my scouting efforts are centered around cows. Spikes are with cows too. The big ones will join them later. The big bulls will go back to their hiding areas if they don't get a cow so it doesn't hurt to know where bulls hang out as well but if you've got a good herd of cows, the odds are there will be a bull with them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
