[QUOTE="Guest, post: 55340"] spot and stalk for Elk is tough at your firt go around... ELk hunting in general is pretty tough.. it also depends on your area, the elk herd and the amount of people hunting the areas you are... your post or profile doesn't say where you're from.... I would without question learn to bugle and cow call.. you don't necessarily have to use it but you may have to rely on it if a big bull gets hung up on a ridge or you spook one... yes cow calls will bring in a bear but they will also bring in big bulls .. it just depends on who hears it first or who is closer... there is no need to be bangin' branches and all that crap... 9 times outta 10 you'll sound like a bear and the elk will be gone.... if anything I would learn how to bugle and bugle well.. in dense forest it really helps to locate the bull your after if you cannot get a visual on them. Early morning you 'll hear most bulls bugle but that only gets you a general direction.. if he shuts up before you locate him then what??? well you bugle to get him to bugle again... the trick is not to sound like a BIG bull... especially if the bull you are bugleing to is not the herd bull, or is a satalite bull, if you sound to big.. they'll be gone afraid of getting there *** kicked... only .. ONLY if you locate a big herd bull do you want to sound big and thats only if he gets hung up.. then you fake trying to take his cows.. but now i'm getting into pretty detailed trophy hunting.. anywho.... learn how to call.. you're gonna need it at some point... also find areas without a bunch of yahoo's running around this might mean learning to ride a horse and packing in deep.... hope this helps a bit....
