just out of curiosity, how can you tell between an elk and a hunter, i dont really elk hunt except in my backyard, i know not much sport....... but anyways i have heard elk bugle that i would swear that they were hunters but it turned out to be a bull, one was one of the biggest bulls i have evr seen in my life, it was down right funny listening to that bull with his broke up whimpy bugle.?
I am under the impression that you hunt the wet side primarily but thought I would ask anyway. It seems to me that the elk over here have bugled less and less over the years. It has been stated by some that this is a defense against calling wolves to the herd. Do you think this may be true or do you have some other theory? If this is the case, do you have any thoughts or another idea on a reliable form of location?
good info thanks for the tip
This is a great idea for a weekly post. Seems like we are reading off the same page as the location bugle goes. We have the same experiences as well. Once we get a response we move in quick and quiet and try to get a visual on an animal before trying a call again. when we think weve closed a good distance we'll call as nonthreatening as possible to pinpoint his location. If we get a return bugle we make our move and try to work the setup plan.
