elk success photos
Success photo from Idaho hunt this year. Opening morning called in a small herd in the fog up to about 40 yards. When they saw me they spooked a little. I cow called like crazy and the stopped about 150 yards out and went back to feeding.
I waited until the fog lifted a little and then started cow calling again.
This is the bull I shot, a 5 by 4. Called into 100 yards in the fog. Shot with 300win mag and 200gr Nosler Partition.
My friend shot one in the same spot the next morning but I will have to repost. Can' t figure how to get them both to show in this one.

Looks like the .300 comes through again. Nice work. And they say you can' t call bulls in that late in the season, here you called in two. Thanks for sharing the pictures, looks like you got some good eating there. elknut1

RE: elk success photos
Thanks for the responses guys.
Elknut I have been listening to your CD on calling, I borrowed it from Chad.
Good stuff, I am learning a lot.
Any serious elk hunter can pick something up from your audio tapes and they are a must for beginners if they want to jump start the learning process.

Congrats on the elk! I heard one bugle, more like a whistle, on the 18th of October when I shot my bull. Not a whole lot more elk talk going on besides that though. I plan to hunt them next Sept. so we can do a lot more calling and get them into bow range.

Wll done.
Sounds like you' re hitting the mark with your calling. Some thing I' ll be putting in a bit more effort, before next season.
Don' t those bugles just get your blood running.
Thanks for sharing the photos.
