If I would of stuck to the way I learned to hunt in the northeast and south my success rate in Colorado where I hunt would have been 25%. I killed 3 elk in 4 years. Learning how to glass and call/stalk made me successful. I also use the heck out of trail cams to pattern animals. Elk have a lot bigger range than a white tail but you can still get a idea how they travel. So using technology, your weapon and your skills is all hunting. What works for one person in their area might not work for others. If you stick to one way you will never be successful everywhere.
