Remember, you ain' t tryin' to get anywhere. You' ll be frustrated if you start stalkin' before you' re in a elk bedroom. This is a close in tactic, not to be used when yer tryin' to top a ridge or head somewhere else. Look for plenty of sign, good cover, a nice confluence of trails, and that certain smell. Ooooooooo, that smell. Seems there' s a song thet goes like that.
