I enjoyed the thread about guided archery elk hunts but didn't want to hijack it. Give me 3 tips for archery hunting elk. 2 good ones and 1 sarcastic. This should be good.
Don't tempt me! HahaBest advice no one’s mentioned is; quit your job the week before season so you have ample time to hunt
You guys in Colorado have herd bulls?1. Less is more when it comes to calling. Especially with herd bulls. Sometimes being aggressive works but more times than not a silent but deadly approach with some soft cow talk and a locate bugle here and there are the way to go. Especially with educated/pressured elk. Let them do the talking and give up their location before you do yours.
2. Mental toughness/perseverance; if you are not mentally able to handle those tough days in the woods and still be able to get up and do it over again day after day, archery elk hunting isn’t probably going to be your game. There are a lot more slow/tough days then there are magical ones.
3. Practice with your diaphragms with a mouth full of Copenhagen, Skoal or grizzly. There is something magical that happens when tobacco and latex meet. You get absolutely dynamic life like sounds.
Yep we got herds with bulls in them ??You guys in Colorado have herd bulls?
Latex and tobacco.huh! I should call her again!
Nice, real nice Clark.Yep we got herds with bulls in them ??
I've quit several jobs for that reason when I was younger and dropped several semesters of college as well.Best advice no one’s mentioned is; quit your job the week before season so you have ample time to hunt
i agree 100 percent, especially with #31. Less is more when it comes to calling. Especially with herd bulls.
