Not stirring the pot at all Billy. I just happen to think your posts are funny. Did you not see the chuckle face. I'll get my crayon and color it in better next time.  :sry:

It might have to do with 90% of what you say is BS, Argumentitive, disrespectful and lies.  The other 10% is you backtracking on statments that get pointed out as the BS they are and even then you just sound silly.

The only thing for certain when elk hunting is uncertainty.

Nobody has all the answers and not everything will work all the time.  I can only draw from my experience from the past 15 years and do my best to explain what I have found to work.  Even then my tactics don't work ALL the time (heck I would be happy as a clam if I could bat .500).

MY OPINION: Don't call elk in anytime you don't plan on killing them.  Or if you insist go to Mt Rainier or somewhere completely off limits to hunt.

Competition:  There are two types.  Competition from other hunters and competition from other bulls.  In my experience you want as much competition from other bulls as possible and as little from other hunters (doesn't happen very often).  My goal is to find unpressured elk.  I want my calls to be the first they have heard all year long.  You can find unpressured elk 500 yards from the road or 20 miles deep.

Bugling Bulls:  They bugle when they want to.  Whether that is at a locator, on their own, etc...  There are some factors that effect how much they bugle but we have hashed that out enough over the past few weeks.

I personally don't want to hunt bulls that aren't bugling (unless, i don't have any other options or it's a monster).  My goal is to get a bull fired up and in my lap.  So I usually continue on until I can find a bull willing to play the game.

What calls to use:  Use what works for you.  My strategy involves bugling and cow calling.  Heavy on the challenge bugle once in tight.  I see guys get on here all the time saying "they only cow call", that is great and if it works for them who am I to tell them they are wrong. They most likely have evidence to show cow calling only, does work.  I only have a problem with people telling others one calling strategy is ALL the works. I laugh when people say that bugling won't work because I have the past 15 years to prove them different.  [Heck if someone who has killed good bulls for the past 10 years told me they only hunted in a leopard print speedo, I may wait until I'm in the timber a ways but you better believe I would look like tarzan :dunno:].

Here are some videos of how often and frequent I bugle (there are some edits so I most likely bugled and called even more).  the last video was muzzleloader season and I just cow chirped them in.

Look at way phelps said... He talked about 2 of my variables... Competition and location... I mean the same thing when I say competition between bulls and location which I have explained time and time again means to me how pressured they get by people including hunters... So maybe not 90% BS :chuckle:

Our local Ruskie technique = jump in your big arse white diesel Super Duty and drive 5 mph towards the most elevated and exposed point in the country.  Be sure to throw apples out the window every 100 yards or so.  Once you reach the point don't bother turning off the engine just get out and start to call aggressively.  That usually means three guys calling simultaneously none stop for a minimum of 30 minutes.  Be sure the three of you stagger your breaths as to avoid one single moment of silence.  Once you see what direction all the elk in that part of the country are running towards drive around to that other side of the valley now at 50 mph (don't forget to keep throwing them apples out the window every 100 yards!) find another high point at this new elk destination and repeat until the end of the season or until you run out of vodka.  This technique must be quite effective as I see the same three guys every year doing the exact same thing.

Don't forget - even if you have been speaking English since birth, when pulled over by the game warden because your drunken bugle fest has taken you into a closed area, you don't speak any English and don't understand a word the LEO is saying.  This works well when you are snagging salmon out of the fish ladder at the Lewis River hatchery too :tup:

OMG, this is some funny stuff right there!!!!  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
