Only LOSERS bowhunt elk...

LIVE Elk Hunting Consultation: To call or not to call
Q: What is one major piece of advice you would give someone getting into elk hunting?
The biggest handicap is the lack of mobility due to not having a machine, and learning how to do a location bugle is crucial in hunting areas where you won't be able to glass them.
