Elk hunting tips !

[RadSav]

Keep indians out of your camp!!

I think they preffer the term Native American.

By "they" you must mean the overly politically correct liberal left whites?   

Fixed it!

Have a game plan that has more than one senerio. Often guys scout one spot and when it falls apart are lost as where to hunt .

  be prepared for fire closure, drought conditions, follow a spring downhill to a wallow and post up! As long as it not RT's spring.

You cant kill them form camp! Stay in the woods from dawn tell dusk, killed almost all my bulls between 12-3pm

Hunt uphill...pack downhill

Never assume the bull is done responding to your calls, just cause it's quiet.  The main response you want is him to give is, commit and come to daddy.  A lot of the time they're quiet when they commit.  Even when they don't they can go quiet and still be right where you heard them last waiting.

A bull that bugles but does not budge is a stalkable bull.

my main rule of thumb is to hunt side hill or down hill . number of times I have had success hunting up hill could be counted on one hand. ambush from hi !

  you don't see too many critters bed down facing up hill  deer and elk both love to watch below them

[magnumb]

Learn and then hunt their escape routes.  You've heard them year after year head through the same ravines, trails, washes towards what they consider to be their safe areas.  Intercept them along one of those routes, preferably where you have as many and as wide shooting lanes as possible.

I've taken 3 bulls within 50 yards of each other doing exactly that and missed another opportunity because at that elevation, I did not give myself enough time to catch my breath on the sprint to 'that' spot. 

Ass ends goin' away either means you missed your opportunity on a potential kill or she's just not that into you....... .

Either one is disturbing, at best.  Or.......I'd imagine it would be..... .

Don't overlook the obvious. I love hiking 2-4 miles back in to get away from people and finding elk. I also love finding those spots that are within a half mile or so from the road that most hunters pass by in there trucks while heading to their spots. Have killed several elk in hiding holes like this the last few years. Small thick patches of timber with a creek or stream nearby. Or even a big patch of mountain alders with a swamp that no hunter wants to get into or even knows about. If it looks nasty, put down the coffee cup and go take a peek. You might just stumble into a big boy that isnt expecting to see you.
