rtrujillo,
I elk hunt in the Lolo National forest,Bitterroot selway,BobMarshall,and a few other places here in Montana.I don't like to sit and wait at water holes.I do like to locate the bulls with a bugel early in the morning and sneak in on em.then cow call or challenge the herd bull if he is big.It depends on the situation.If it is a satelite bull I'll cow call him in.Sometimes I even set up in the direction they are heading and ambush them.
