So, yes, always try cow calls 1st, but a bugle sometimes works better, but wait til your out of options...IMO.
Might be good advice, but if I can’t kill an elk with out him screaming his face off id rather just go deer hunting. For me it’s all about hearing those bulls get fired up! Nothing beats an elk under a hundred yards that sounds like he’s coming to rip your head off.
I'm sure the wolves are not in the area to howl Kumbaya at the moon and eat granola. "Ourea"
