There is no other plan that works consistently and that is exactly what i told him.
By the way TX, I've personally killed 25 elk and have been in on the taking of more than 100 others. When you can top those #s then maybe I'll consider your viewpoint worth considering.
LOL. Didn't say your post was wrong, just that is was without tact, as evidenced by the OP getting his nose out of joint. It was him who screwed up. Anyone seeking advice/info on the internet is cutting their own throat to get mad at a response that he doesn't like. Personally, I go hunting partly to get away from technology, so taking a computer on a hunt or even surfing on a phone while hunting is absolutely counterproductive to my hunt and the reason I am there. It can also cost you game.
As to whether or not you consider my viewpoint worth considering, I couldn't care less. This is after all, the internet. I am 58 and have hunted elk most years since I was in my late 20s, mostly muzzleloading, but have also hunted them with a bow and rifle. That is probably the only time you will hear me give my resume. I have made a TON of mistakes and have taken my share of elk. I just tell people what I have learned and let them decide how much truth is in it. Worried about your opinion?...........
