so how many of you love to call, i mean really call alot ive heard people say dont call to much or why do you call so much  well because it works i cow call and bugle all the time and elk come in alot i dont always get a shot but they come in who else on here calles like the primos team      alot         even late season it works i just dont bugle in the late season

I have tried and tried to call.. I keep getting a wrong number, or number no longer in service answer....    :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

on a serious note, do not own a primos call.  I have a custom call by bearmanric, and love it.  I can get all the cow chirps and calls I want out of it.  It works awesome.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I call in the early season of archery but thats about it. I dont call in the late hunt because they are already educated. Might get away wth it duering muzzy season but modern forget it, their hush hush.
I just called in a bull the other day and my bro could not get a shot, elk will come in all year, they may not always call back but they still come in.

The100Road - That is a tough situation to hunt.  I am going to make the assumption that you are along the coast somewhere.  If so I would check cuts early in the morning and late at night.  Other than that if I knew where the elk were bedding or staying during the day I would get the wind right and slowly/quietly hunt towards them. 

If cow calling has worked in the past I would continue trying that tactic.

Ambush would also be effective in the situation you describe, but I don't have enough patience to sit still very long.

I hunt the puyallup unit on private land. it is very thick. i know where they bed but its very unlikly to sneak up on them. I probably would have to be about 10 yards away to see them. (lots of sticker bushes). Ive tried to ambush but never had any luck. cow calling gets them to come in but they wont come that extra 20 yards into the clearing where i can see them.
