Late archery elk tactics
« on: November 19, 2008, 02:15:03 PM »
What do you guys find to be the most successful way to get in range of elk in the late season?  Do you find that they are still susceptible to calling, or do you concentrate on spot/stalk or ambush?

I've called cows/calves in during modern firearm season by sounding like a lost cow/calf, but its not like during the early season. Most my hunting during late season (I've only hunted late season last year) has been spot/stalk/ambush.

Spot and stalk with lots of slow crawling to get close.

Depending on the area you hunt, spot and stalk, or in most cases, hear and stalk. I find the elk in the timber by listening for snaps and pops or for vocal cows. Calling can also get a response that can help you get a fix on the elks position. Then the real challenge begins, stalking in close for a shot.        good luck.
