I wouldn’t worry about the range of the dog you brace a Griff with. My experience is that each dog will do their own thing and hunt their own range. The Griff will pick up birds a rangy dog may over run. If you primarily hunt chukar, I’d go with a bigger running dog. Heavy cover pheasants, my...
Of course! Any experienced elk caller has. Like I said, there are always exceptions. Over a lot of years of trial and error, I see a trend that this behavior (immediately coming all the way to the calls with no delay) is MUCH MORE COMMON, when bulls are responding to cow sounds than with bull...
I’m glad it worked out so well for you. That’s not always the case, but probably not that uncommon. I wasn’t as fortunate when I discovered that I screwed up. In Oregon, you tag bobcats, but before a specific day after the season is over, you must take them in and have them checked in.
I don’t...
BTW, in my experience, the bulls that come charging right in have responded to cow calls. This makes perfect sense. Bulls responding to another bull is a more drawn out dance that has naturally developed to prevent injury. The bulls posture and display, trying to intimidate the other until there...
Calling can be very effective, but like every other hunting method, it takes skill, knowledge, experience, and persistence to become proficient.
It works even in high pressure areas, but pressure makes it tougher. Being a good caller and hunter will help. Being persistent, and covering A LOT...
Comes with experience. After you hear enough real bulls in the woods, it’s usually not that hard to tell the difference. I get hooked on occasion, but the vast majority of the time, it’s pretty obvious, especially the end of the bugle.

30 years of otc archery elk hunting. 3 for 20 my first twenty years with an average of 5 days hunting per year. 6 for 10 the last 10 years with 10 days per year hunting. 9 for 10 on shot opportunities. Time in the field is the number one factor!

That’s a ridiculous statement. What Federal bureaucracy are you watching, that you think they should have MORE power and influence? Mark my words...the day will come, and some places is already here, where these same bureaucracies will come after what you love, (hunting, shooting) using the same...
I’ve found that early season bulls will frequently bugle from a safe distance, but fail to answer once you get in close. Leaving one guy back to bugle with the bull while the other two work in close to set up can be a deadly tactic. Sometimes the bull will just hear the hunters moving through...
The idea that it’s essential to buy technical clothing/outer wear. A guy from my church is giving bow hunting a try for the first time this year, and with it, the expense of all the gear that comes with such an adventure. He was under the impression that buying a complete Kuiu setup was...
Read up on hammock camping on here before you do. You will need an under quilt or a sleeping pad if it gets cold at all. I did trial runs in the back yard before I took the leap. Haven’t looked back.

Saw it at the Central Oregon Sportsman’s show this weekend. Didn’t try it on. Impressions...very well made, really cool bag attachment system, WAY too heavy, all to solve the waterproof problem that’s easily solved with much less weight and expense. Pack doesn’t seem able to haul much weight...
