Elk hunting

[blacktail luv]

I bow hunt and have killed an elk in each of the last seven years.  I use a combo bugle/ cow calling.  calling is your only advantage to us bow hunters

I said other because i will ambush them if I know they are moving through an area, But spot and stalk is good also, but is hard to do where it is thick.

Mainly for me its luck, or other hunters pushing them to you . I had that happen this year but i missed him

Right place at the right time for me!!

I picked other because I enjoy the most getting on tracks and chasing them until I catch them...

I run with a day pack and can be out for days with out a tent or sleeping bag in any types of weather mostly practicing survival tactics along the way...

I have only taken one elk and that was with spot and stalk.......Have used stand and it has worked out well too.........also had dumbluck ecountering them walking right up on me......

What’s fun is when you’re following tracks and their getting fresh...

I MEAN...

REALLY FRESH...

Then you look up and 5-10 yards in front of you are the elk you've been following looking over their shoulders...

I don't really know who’s more surprised...

Them for not realizing a predator is following and almost on them...

Or me because I almost had my face up their butts like some love smitten bull pushing them along with his nose...

Cow calling 1st, spot/stalk 2nd.
