However, I would stand by my comment that IMO calling before season is foolish. I am sure it can be done in a way that doesn't educate elk, but most isn't IME.
I was glassing a basin and saw two hunters stop to call on the edge of a little opening. They waited about 5 minutes and pushed on. About 30 minutes later a bull came slinking into sight. Went right to where they had called, sniffed the ground, and bolted. IME elk that haven't recently associated elk noises with human presence are much easier to call in. ( Think the first hunter to hit a drainage in September. ) Just my :twocents:

Pretty much all Im doing is finding elk that I hunted last season. I have hunted two bulls here pretty much for 3 years! Been withing 15 yards several times just couldnt close the deal. Im finding them not calling them in.
No hard feelings. But a bugle sure does get the blood pumping!!
