[QUOTE="NorthernSniper, post: 55343, member: 1504"] Thanks for all the helpfull tips guy's!! I am heading into a fairly remote area toward Alaska that looks pretty rugged on the topo's. This will be around Sept. 5, I will stay for a couple weeks and if no luck stay for a third week. Apparently the Elk start Bugling around the 5th and it picks up from there on. Well from what I have gathered to this point I think the plan should be to use a scent killer (can't hurt?) and maybe a bit of earth masking scent while trying to keep the wind in my favour. Next I should bugle to locate a bull and then use a cow call to make him hold his ground or come in. I can take one out to about 500 or 550yds tops with my 300WM and either 168gr TSX or 200gr Accubonds. I will need to range the bull with my mildot scope anybody know how many inches from the top of the back to the bottom of the brisket? I have been told it would be about 2 mills at 500yds which would translate into about 36". These Elk sound more difficult to hunt than Moose or Deer hope I can bag one.
