No. Elk ain' t whitetail. They' ll hear yer lil' army comin' 500 yards off, an' they won' t circle nuthin' , they' ll head out for the next county. Whitetail act like rabbits, they try to decieve you by layin' low an' being sneaky. Elk got the legs of a horse an' the sure-footedness of a goat. Their strength is in leavin' you in the dust, an' they use it at the slightest provocation.
