When calling to elk for locating purposes timing & use of the right sound is important as well as "Reading The Situation" you may be faced with!
Calling elk into bowrange with consistent success is an art in its own right & the ultimate western challenge that many here can attest too.
Hunters who do not use calls at all for fear of running elk off can handicap themselves throughout the course of their archery season.
Being a versatile elk hunter along with knowing your elk country are huge assets to ones success. Being a versatile elk hunter can help ones to achieve their goals & dreams!
Being versatile should include Glassing, Spot & Stalk, Ambushing, Treestands/Ground Blinds, Setups, Calling, the use of natural elk sounds as raking, rustling brush, etc; these should all be utilized by the serious elk hunter as needed, leaving any of these out when needed most can lessen ones opportunities during the most critical encounters!
All are important but I'm a Run & Gun elk hunter at heart! (grin) How about you, what's your strength?
