That's why I wouldn't bother bugling for em on public land unless it was in a limited draw, low pressure area. I don't know how many bugles and other elk calls have been sold too "weekenders" that hightailed it too Colorado over the last 30 years, but I doubt a convoy of semis could haul them. The best thing for the "public lander" to do is keep is flappers shut and possibly even learn about an escape route or two. The same goes for turkey hunters on similar areas. The animals hear the calls, they may or may not take flight in the opposite direction but they for sure are going to become silent and cagey.

I'll never understand why the majority of eastern hunters who go out west will watch Primos and other tapes and expect their hunts to go like they do on the tube . Do they not understand the difference between limited lands in AZ/NM vs 'Johnny come alls' in other states?

Walk much, look long and shoot far is the best methodsfor such pressured animals! (lol that or wade impossibly thick brush and take em at arms length.)
