    Let\'s chat about Bull Talk

    It\'s my impression and my belief that during rut, most if not all communication given by bulls, is directed at the cows. Don\'t bulls spend most of his time proving to cows that they are the dominant bull? Case, when I hear Challenge Bugles I\'m still very far off. When I get close, those...

    I\'m not a good caller so should I even try?

    That question has been given to me several times. My answer is alway, no I\'ll handle all the calling during the hunt. Can bad calling bring in elk? Or are the elk educated enough that they don\'t buy it anymore?

    Simple Instinct Simple Creatures

    We can all agree that elk have simple instinct(breed and survive). Does this make them simple creatures? Do we complicate their thoughts more than we should? Do they really show emotion? Or are they just creatures that react to instinct?

    Troy from Glacier Country and I have had this talk many times. What does a bugle mean? Is it to attract cows or a warning for other bulls to stay away? Does it serve a dual purpose. Elk calling can\'t be as complex as others make it. Sound A is for when he\'s talking to bulls. But when...

    Is finding elk a Science?

    A + B + C - E = Success Percentage? Boots on the ground is in my opinion the best way to determine great elk hunting spots. But, many of those locations I initially found by searching aerial/topo maps. In my experience, if it looks good on the map, then chances are it is a good elk hunting...
