Mci79, there are a variety of sounds % Sequences that attract Cow elk as well as Spikes over mature bulls. Targeting Cows means using a tactic where they are a higher percentage to show up first. What works really well is using sounds that require assistance or aid from their species.

Zap, please define 'heavy things' -- We all are not 200 plus # in body weight but I've seen you use this phrase many times, please clarify! Thanks!
