LAST EDITED ON Jul-17-12 AT 10:07AM (MST)[p] Ok boys, I'd like to know what you would do if you were in my shoes.
We drew a pair of Wasatch unit LE archery tags and need some advice. We are very experienced whitetail hunters from the east. We are novice Elk hunters and I won't pretend to know exactly what to do. Overcourse the basics will transfer to the elk hunting but, I would like to know what you guys would do on what I think will be our first scenario when we get out there.
If you think I'm wrong on what I think will be the first scenario, Please make an adjustment to me!!!
Scenario #1
We get out there, hike into an area where we can see pretty good and set up for the initial glassing to see whats going on and to take stock of the area. The first good bull we see is way down into a deep draw (1 mile away)feeding and moving mostly sidehill. My hunting partner decides he'd like to try for this bull.
What do we do? Do we go right after it? do we watch and try to pattern it for a few days and get a shot 3 days later? Do we try to get out in front of it?Do we stay put and try to call it in?
I'm wondering what you experienced guys would do so we're not the perverbial "bulls in a china shop".
