RE: Elk hunt scenario! What's best tactic?
For me, the reason I like to hear bugling is to know where the bull is. Then I go to him and cow call mostly if not exclusinvely. Bulls will hold up and yes, you have to go to them. Keep a caller back 40 - 50 yards to bring bull by you.
I am also using a Montana decoy for the first time this year. Anxious to see how it helps/works.
