This is somewhat true however, Both Muley and I live at the base of some fineareas to hunt in and are in the mountains more than most for locals and see plenty of elk and know the spots where they are found.
Elk were abundant a few months ago now they have almost disappeared. Area's that have held Elk in the past have just dried up.
However thanksto ELKCRAZY8who gave us a great callingtip ( Ancient Chinese Secret) we had 2 bulls screaming and wanting to come in but would not. They seemed to have bedded for the day still bugling so we backed out to return for an late afternoon hunt.
Our bad luck again, seems the Elk would have come in but were stopped by an sheer cliff preventing them from doing so. Our bad though as this was an area we had not prevously scouted and did not know the terrain.
We covered some very (Elky) areas with no recent sign. They seemed just to have vanished.This late in the game however it is difficult to try and scout and hunt new areas as we could encounter more of the same situations as above mentioned.
It's a tough and challenging game. Elk can be here today and gone tomorrow.We willtry again next weekend.
