Default RE: elk hunting

Learn how to use a cow call, the "Hoochie Mama" is pretty easy, Bugles are okay for locating them, but depending on where you go, you may run into call-shy elk. Best advice is probably to glass a lot, locate a heard and try to work in on them. You can put a LOT of miles under your feet looking for sign, before you find it. If you hear a bugle, work towards it, looking and listening, don't bugle back, you may make a herd bull pick up and move out with his harem. Rather than risk that work close and then whine a lost cow call to him, if he doesn't pay much attention, then you can bugle off a small inferior sounding bugle maybe just a couple grunts and the lost cow again. Check out www.elknut.com , and his videos, and you'd better get busy learning if you don't know how to call yet. The Primos Bugles are also as easy as anything to learn on if you don't have one yet.
