    Main elk food source in September at 10-12k feet elevation

    First time Bow Elk

    Think outside the box when calling pressured elk. Non-verbal calls can be just as effective if not more so.

    Elk with a Savage slug gun

    Can't imagine that it wouldn't work on elk. I think the ballistics are even a bit better in the 20 ga. Has never let me down
