Yes, there’s a LOT more to successful elk hunting than one tip or trick, much..much more. But, if you were to share a single “pearl” with a newer elk hunter to help them down the path, what would it be? Let’s here em’

Hunt close to home. The more days you spend glassing the first and last 45 minutes of each day and the more trail cams you can run, the better. You can live in a horrible elk area and achieve greater success their than traveling to a great area you know nothing about.

Don't quit the hunt too soon. They are very patient.

Make noise when calling. Break sticks, roll rocks, rake trees, etc... IMO too many elk hunters are way too silent.

Hunt where there are elk.

Get in good shape, get away from the road early in the morning before first light.
Bring your lunch and don't come out till dark, have a flashlight or three.

Elk are about 1000% easier to kill when they don't know they're being hunted.

You don’t have to be 10 miles in to the back country to find elk.
