Default RE: Elk Hunting Questions

What you going to hunt with, when is the season? Are they still in rut? It makes a big difference. If you are hunting the rut, just grab a bugle and some cow calls and get really good with them. Either will do for calling in bulls, it just takes technique. I know when I use my bugle to challange a bigger bull I will bugle and break branches and rake tree's as if I'm another bull moving in on his herd. Use a cow call to act like some cows just out mulling around. I called in a 4x5 raghorn and shot him this year by doing this. AFter I shot him I called in the herd bull on accident.. Wish I would have held off on the raghorn but it was my first bull... Do a lot of scouting and try to find out where they go for water and where they go to bed.
