Default RE: Elk Hunting Advice: Your Do's and Don'ts

DONT:

Dance in tent for flatlanders, they are lousy tippers.

Make unnecassary noise when elk are within 20 yards.

Still hunt through the woods with too many people at once.

Fall asleep in your ground blind looking over a huge wallow.

Spill your pee cup while you are in the wallow.


DO:

Set up as quick as possible, but in an area where you can get a shot off.

Pay attention to the wind!

Scout as much area as you can to find out where the elk are when they aren't being vocal.

Make sure of your shot, even it means passing a 330 class bull at 12 yards. <font size=1>sniff, sniff</font id=size1>

Be confident with your calling, become the elk. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Bring your haybag out in the middle of the hunt, it is highly considered though to rent a room at the haystack to take your haybag so it is out of sight and mind from the other hunters in camp.

Be patient
