Elk Calling is hit or miss
« on: September 01, 2009, 10:20:27 PM »
Just got back and no luck today lots of rubs and fresh tracks all over. No answers tonight. Had better luck last night I got three bull's going at it hard about four in the after noon. I should have went back to the same spot tonight. I cant wait to hit it again this weekend.

That does not sound like much of a punishment, lol
75 lbs of fish, that is one huge smoker!
Nothing better then the smell of a smoker in use.

Probably because he is hunting elk.  Why else would you be bugling for bulls.  :dunno:

It is a punishment when I could be up in the hills "exploring."  It's not too bad I guess.  I do have 1 huge smoker than another one about 3/4 its size right next to it.  And I agree, smoker smoke is always a great smell!

this is really shaping up to be a great thread.
definitely one of a kind.

No I did not draw a tag I am not required to have a Washington state tag, I have been just cruising around to see what I can get in, have seen some nice bulls this year and lots of cow's It should be a good year for you bull tag holders they seem to be running a bit bigger this year. And yes me calling bull's before it opens might make them a little shy but there is no rule about calling them and I don't push them to hard I am addicted and cant control myself from calling, I have not killed anything this year and not in a hurry to kill anything I just enjoy the out doors as much as all of you. I spend most of my time on the rez.

Personally no offense to you, but I wouldnt hardly call it hunting this time of year either with a rifle in a permit only big bull unit with screaming bulls.  Everyone on here would have trophys on the wall if we could be out there in August and September elk and deer hunting. :twocents:
