What To Do When Elk Hunting Big Horn Mountains Wyoming
It was midday in the Wyoming wilderness. Not another soul in sight besides my hunting buddy and the guide leading us on horseback to where the elk should be. Of course Colorado elk hunting outfitters can do much the same. Similar terrain. Different state.As you'd expect there are different ways to get your elk.
Ambush hunters take their fair share of them each season.
Still-hunting and stalking rewards the patient.

And don't forget calling as an elk hunting tactic. Definitely falls in the category of what to do when elk hunting Big Horn Mountains Wyoming and elsewhere. You see, given the ready availability of diaphragm calls and grunt tubes there's no reason to head into the field without packing one or the other. |
Just as long as you're prepared for some blood pulsing action. Since calling can not only locate but also attract some elk to you.
And few things in life compare to calling an elk bull to within point blank range. You'll be taken with the size up front and close. The breadth of the trophy sized rack. Perhaps with blood shot eyes that result from harem defense.
Calling during the rut works best in lightly hunted areas. Like you'd find in parts of Colorado or Wyoming? That way you aren't dealing with a gun shy male elk with several previous near misses from hunters under his belt when he expected to confront another bull.
One good calling approach is to surprise the herd bull with the brazenness of your call.
Yet don't you be surprised if your call isn't responded to. Some younger bulls are often stealthy in their approach. Curious but uncertain. Especially if they've come up against a master of a domain with little tolerance for interlopers.
Others are unaffected by calling and won't respond ever.
Still other bulls will respond with gusto.
That's because you could be dealing with a harem master who won't be coming over anytime soon. Or one who takes your call personally. As a challenge. And may decide to make it their business to dispatch the apparent challenger to another neck of the woods after a face to face confrontation.
Natural sounds like cracking twigs crashing through brush is common as bulls defend their harem. So absolute quiet is not that critical.
When to call? After sunrise on calm days is best. And for more realism don't be afraid to use a variety of calls. No bull sounds the same each time he sounds off. Neither should you.
Hope this gives you some ideas as to what to do when elk hunting Big Horn Mountains Wyoming.
