I like to get as close as I can and get in front of them if the wind is right and call.Even if I don' t get a response I' ll set and wait a good while.A lot of times some descent sattalite bulls will sneak in.I like to kill them at close range,just see how close I can coax them.Called in a nice 6x last Sun.he came in and stopped broadside at 20 yds.as soon as he turned his head he was missing his left antler so I let him walk.
I love to climb the tallest of mountains,I log year round so I stay in pretty good shape hooking logs.Elk hunting is great and kind of a noble tradition.Hope all of your hunts are great ones and even the missed or busted bulls are ones that memories are made of.Good Luck in the Elk Woods,
George
