Im in the woods! Two cow calls and one sounded off immediately. 

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Heard multiple bugles on 7/22, but was out yesterday and only heard cows talking.

I've heard nothing so far.  Zero response to cow calls.

Question:  Are you guys out there calling right now?  Pretty stupid idea to call before season IMO.  This time of year especially they may come in silently an hour after you called, and if they smell you you've just educated another elk.    :twocents:

Most of the activity that I'm picking up on Cams is between 11:00pm and 2:00am.  Maybe they are bugling in the middle of night.

I agree with his statement that calling this time of year is stupid and educates the elk.

Obviously on private property OR public you can do all the calling you want year round.

Are these elk high fenced on this property or could they visit public ground???

Why did you call him Jesus?
