decoy could work great but it also could work great at getting you killed out there. remember, you'll be hunting with master hunters who have rifles and can shoot cows.

Please report back.  I'm curious to see how your roosevelt calling tactics work in the desert.

 
The terrain and weather ( micro climate)  over at the Firing Center is very similar to the terrain over on the west side. Should not be a problem calling them in using roosy tactics.   Might want to bring a light pair of waders or a small inflatable raft to cross the rivers and lakes on the firing center. And don't forget good quality rain gear and wear heavy wool clothes to stay warm

BAHAHAHAHA call a bull in OUT THERE???  your crazy lol.  I hunted that unit in 2010 for elk archery and it is tough spent seven days hiking my ass off blew a tire burnt a lot of fuel almost got bit by a huge rattle snake and seen few elk.  Saw three bulls killed the third one i seen spot and stalk style.  Never heard a bugle.  The Master hunters screw that hunt up bad (or they did for me) supose to be good ethical hunters right? no chsaseing the elk in a truck shooting out the window is what i watched.  took the elk three days to come back off the private ground.  Start in unit 10 is my best advice.  Good luck

There sure is a big hatred for master hunters.  How do you know they were master hunters? Did you go up to them and ask to see their card?  How do you know they weren't wanapums?  If they were "shooting out of their window" did you go talk to range control and turn them in?  Seems like the ethical thing to do to me.

true, and those 149 elk actually talk a lot more than the firing center elk.

There's a reason why we don't see a bunch of pictures every year of Hanford bulls bugling and rutting hard.

I read the log and asked the range control officer who was on base that morning and he told me only myself and a few master hunters hunting cows.....  they were very light skinned as well.  Its not hard to figure out who is out there and what unit there planning on being in since you half to sighn in and say wich three units you plan to hunt that day.  I did tell range control about it and they said they would look into it.  Obviously most master hunters are ethical hunters but some are not...
