Don' t waste yer time. By the time you get to hunt, the harems will be broke up, bulls will be tryin' to put weight back on, an' those wallers an' cows won' t even be in their minds. Elks are grazers, so I' d find me the best trail I could on route to a nice meadow an' get to a ambush site by flashlight, hopin' to catch a bull headin' back to his daytime lair.
