    Finding Elk vs Killing Elk

    Those marshy bog/meadows are exactly what I'm talking about! Literally 2 days ago I hiked in to a spot just like that, milled around a bit and then ley out a mellow single note bugle. This was at 530pm-ish. I immediately heard sticks breaking and sure enough a bull slides right into 30 yards...

    Finding Elk vs Killing Elk

    I really like that traversing and 'snaking' strategy to cover ground - thanks! My one pushback on the cow calling to them in their beds is I've hunted for 4 years now and haven't had one response to a cow call besides a calf running into to a mew as I entered thick timber from a meadow. I feel...

    Finding Elk vs Killing Elk

    Opening morning I saw the herd of 25-30 with what I'd assume to be the herd bull. This was September 2nd in Colorado right at treeline in a basin. I saw on them and ended up chasing the cows up a slope that night and they magically vanished... Saw them on the same ridge the next morning and...

    Finding Elk vs Killing Elk

    That sounds totally reasonable. I'm thinking of ordering a few game cams to leave so I can understand timing a bit better. There are these huge meadows at the bottom that in my first impression you think would be full of elk but they seems to really stay at these smaller meadows and wet benches...

    Finding Elk vs Killing Elk

    I guess this is where I get uncertain. Real example - setup an advertising sequence outside a feeding area in the morning. Heard a bugle up the mountain after a louder location bugle I put out and started to head that way. Saw a cow about 60 yards above me also moving up hill once I left my...

    Finding Elk vs Killing Elk

    Totally. This has worked to a degree... Last time I chased cows up essentially a ski slope in a thunderstorm. This wild, forked purple lightning bolt struck the ridge just above the elk who were unfazed... I was praying...

    Finding Elk vs Killing Elk

    I've been lurking the forum for years now and am psyched to join the conversation. I've been archery elk hunting Colorado OTC in an area with relatively low elk density. That being said, I'm in elk basically everyday. The area is thick timber with big meadows at the bottoms all the way to...
