Calling in elk question?
Ok so here is my background. I have hunted elk for many years growing up. I left Wyoming and am now back. For the past four years I have been into archery more than rifle season. I just got back from 7 days in the Southeastern part of the state. Sierra Madres to be exact.
My question is every morning and night I go out I learn more and more about calling. It is an ongoing discovery of how to do it. I have noticed over the past year or so that the elk are not responding as well. Do you beleive in the discussion I have heard before about elk getting call shy?
Hunting the rut is such an extemely exciting time of year. I wish I would have started much earlier in life. Still waiting for my first archery elk kill. Makes rifle hunting almost non existant for me.
Also is it normal for every hunter on the mountain to bugle? Seems I get more elk through cow calling than bugling. Can anyone give me any pointers for an experienced elk hunter but not so experienced caller?
