Perfect scenario for the Advertising Sequence, that bull would have snuck right to you as long as you had a solid setup with wind & cover! It's my money tactic for this time of year!
If he doesn't show within 10 minutes (because he's still there & maybe slowly moving your way) I'd go to a...
Sir, focus your energies on either a Locator Bugle or the Cow Bugle, you will find much better results for the situation you described. You said you want to locate not call them to you! The Cow Bugle is badass when nothing else is working!

Absolutely carry a bugle for multiple reasons! It will assist in locating in timber & before light just like glassing is effective in open terrain during daylight times!
P.S. It's a stretch in Nov though!

When is everyone leaving for their hunts?
I'm heading out tomorrow (Monday-28th) to set elk camp up. Get firewood in & have things organized around camp. Do some shooting (arrows) there & scout a couple spots to check on elk activity. Wednesday the 30th is our opener! Should be good times...
Hey guys, Matrix Targets notified us they want to donate their top of the line target to one special/lucky hunter! (grin) You need to register for the webinar & Follow both Matrix Targets & ElkNut Outdoors on Instagram. This is their rules. If already registered make sure to follow them & us to...
I'm ready & heading out Monday to setup up base! Like Jaq I've got a few years under my belt so it's easier to manage things & not allow little things dampen my spirits.
Lots of solo this year with a day here & there with my Son! I truly look forward to it, after all who knows how many Sept we...
Yes, this Friday we are doing a Webinar just before Elk Season starts in most areas! Already 250 registered for this free webinar. If you'd like to join in then you need to register! On most of these we accept the first 500. It should be fun & informative as we cover a multitude of scenarios...
Jaq couldn't be more spot on! Plus calving areas in most areas are not remote hard to get to places. They follow the snowline in many areas come June but most those areas are very accessible.
Cover ground & use your Glass in open country & your bugle in timbered country. It's not rocket...
To date I've never seen a single crack in all my years. If you do this it is generally pouring it over concrete that has existing cracks. The fiber mesh I mentioned between the original concrete & the pour will eliminate this.
I've poured self leveling mud on both OSB & Concrete substrates for...
Ahh, you need to do as Bubblehide mentions & remove the metal edging. Assuming you are removing or laying over existing tiles you then will need to pour self leveling mud to perfectly flatten out the rest of the floor to the existing tile on the floor, assuming you want to tile everything with...
Level the floor. You'd have to have some small tiles that would mold to that slope like you'd use on a shower floor! Too, use a fiberglass mesh on the slab before tiling.
If considering larger tiles you'll need to level/flatten floor to accommodate their size!

I work out year around & it does pay off! Went out on a cow hunt with others for 3 days & covered aprox 10-11 miles total, not tired one bit & could have doubled it in serious elk terrain! Guess I'm as ready as usual. Bring it on! (grin)

My daughter In-law has a MZ cow tag on an OTC unit. My Son & I went out to see if we could muster up any elk to hunt. We were striking out as usual on these hunts! No better place to be though! (grin) After a couple hiking hours in a rarely hunted unit with zero interest & lots of cow calling...
100%, I've already hunted with the two boys quite a bit. The girl could care less! Our oldest is 23 & youngest 16, it's the girl.
When I think of grandkids I'm thinking under 12.

Thanks but nope, not a chance! Been this way my whole life, I doubt I'll be changing. My wife of 47 years says you do not like any kids but your own, she's right! On the other foot Brenda my wife is great with them. For me it's like fingernails on a chalkboard! (grin)
ElkNut
You guys are great! I'm not that kind of grandpa, I honestly don't like being around kids, they drive me nuts! I don't know why but it's true! Once they get to hunting age then I do better.
