Way to be persistent. Real nice bull.

I don't want this to sound like I don't want you to be successful--I really do--you do a lot of good for hunters, but it is heartening to know that callers as good as the two of you still have elk run away when you call.  The fact that you tell us that happens to you, too, makes us believers in your products.  Honesty is the best marketing.

We will always tell it how it is. We got our tails whipped for 8 straight days.

We believed in and stuck with our plan and most importantly never gave up. We are always reminding each other throughout hunts like this “it only takes one” and “it can happen any second”.

Wow thanks for sharing. It sounds like the herd was on to you but that last call caught the ear of a distant bull that didn't have their intel? Sweet end to a long hunt for sure!

I think it takes a lot of experience to begin to feel this way.  I think I'm just starting to get there.  You can feel a million miles away from elk, and then it just happens.

Yeah I took my cousins from Boise hunting one year up towards Indian Heaven Wilderness. It was SUPER dry all over the state. This was around 2005-2006. The first day we just drove around looking for sign in the usual places and don't see anything. So we went back to camp and I got out a map and looked for water furthest from all the roads. We picked a spot and went to the best looking approach on the map and started hiking. About a mile from the road we found a nice big scrape on a lodgepole and I told my cousin to hit his bugle. He hit that bugle and another bull answered and came in on top of us in about ten seconds. It was scary how quickly the elk were suddenly in our front laps.
