OK so here's an update. I've been hunting this spot pretty hard for the weekend-warrior that I am; although I have made it out on a few weekday evenings.
I've seen what I'm pretty sure is this same bear twice now, but both times moving way too fast for me to get a 400-ish yd shot off.
I've tried some calling with a primos fawn in distress call to no avail. I have NO idea what I'm doing when it comes to calling though, besides what I read on the call package. I will gladly welcome any tips on this front. What's the best call (fawn, or something else?) this time of year?
Here's a pick from the weekend just to whet the whistle. Me for scale. I'm 6'2" 215lb.
It's a popular elk area so I'm a little concerned he's 100% nocturnal for the remainder of general elk season...
