My last post was about advanced elk calling tactics. BUT....I think the elk language is very simple. Advanced tactics does not mean the elk language is a complicated. So what do you the general message this bull is expressing?

A buddy and I were just sitting around one day in the woods. The elk had been silent all morning so we were just shooting the breeze and talking about advanced calling idea\'s. We decided to get ~30 yards apart and start projecting a battle between bulls. Vicious warning bugles, lots of...

Last year was my first year elk hunting. :upthumb: I watched a bunch of elk hunting DVD\'s before I left and was very excited to try out my new brand X bugle because the hunters on those DVDs made it look really easy to call in bulls. On the first day of the hunt I bugled and got a bull to...

Why do bulls give lip bawl bugles? I\'ve heard this by real bulls only a hand full of times. Does anyone know why they use it? This is probably the one bull sound I haven\'t developed an opinion on and have no clue what it means.
I\'m not trying to be confrontational and I truly don\'t get why some call it that. I need help understanding.
Rarely, but I have heard what others call a Challenge Bugle. The growls were very distinct and on the \'nasty\' end of the bugle spectrum.

otcWill brought up a good point. Does the lead cow or bull control herd movement during the peak rut?
We talk about bulls being lovers and not fighters thus taking their cows and leaving to avoid a conflict. So, is it possible that the cows have chosen their breeders and have no interest in...
