Elk Hunting Tips & Strategies
Hunters that are a little more adventurous will enjoy hunting this animal. Elk are located in
mountainous regions and many trips begin by riding horses to get up to the higher
elevations. Once a base camp is set up, hunters will begin their pursuit which can often take
up to a week or more to land a trophy bull.
- Planning and preparation is one of the most important elements that will help you
increase your odds of landing an elk.
- One of the most effective ways to take a trophy bull is by calling them. Learn how to use
an elk call and start blowing it at sunrise. You want to mimic a young bull with the hopes
of attracting a large bull that is looking to defend his territory.
- Stand-hunting from a ground blind can be effective once you find a good feeding area.
- Cover up your scent. Elk rely on their sense of smell to avoid danger. Use your scent
cover-up products and try bringing some unscented wipes to wipe away any sweat.
- Stay on the stand longer. More hours on the stand will help you come home with more
elk.
- Scouting from high ground can lead to a successful trip. Successful hunters spend more
time searching for elk from higher ground. A good spotting scope and tripod are
essential.
