I think I yelled at you today 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: but anyway, today, and I'm gonna have to apologize to 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: our listeners. I gave you the guys the super secret 48 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: number to call in to ask a question so we 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: can answer it online. Here are on the podcast. And 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: the problem, here's the biggest problem. So when I did that, 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: I recorded a whole bunch of podcasts because I've been 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: gone for the whole month of September, the month of October, 53 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: and here we November. I'm still hunting and Jason he's 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: been doing a lot of the same, so a lot 55 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: of the podcast episodes you've been enjoying haven't been real time. 56 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: So I was unable to get your question answered online 57 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: in a timely fashion, which kind of sucks because there's 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: some folks that had some hunting intended for this fall. 59 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: But I think it's still relevant for the show. And 60 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: I think you know we're not leading into ELK season. 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean, ELK season September is kind of a distant memory, 62 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: and we want to kind of kind of touch base, refresh, 63 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: think about those kind of things because Phelps and I've 64 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: been talking about twenty twenty four already. We're making plans 65 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: for ELK season, and we want to make sure that 66 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: we have everything dialed in, and so I think this 67 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: is a great time to kind of answer some of 68 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: those questions. That way, for folks who are planning ahead 69 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: for next year, they can kind of think about it, 70 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: listen to what we say, digest it, agree, disagree, to 71 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: formulate their own system, and kind of move forward. For elks, 72 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: he's in twenty twenty four. So anyway, Phelps, do you 73 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: have anything to say before we get started on this? 74 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm like ready to start answering questions. 75 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: I know Jason always says this on his podcast when 76 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: he's when he's the host, he always says, hey, guys, 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 1: if you have any questions, email us at CTD at 78 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: why what. 79 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: CTD at Phelpsgame Calls dot Com?

I'm calling from Beufort, 104 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 4: South Carolina. My question is is how you would go 105 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 4: about hunting a once in a lifetime tag. I Drew 106 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: want to arguably the best second season archery ELK tags 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 4: in New Mexico this year, and I was wondering, I'm 108 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: feeling a lot of pressure and putting a lot of 109 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: pressure on myself, and I'm just wondering how you go 110 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: about tack lining the tag like this. Any advice would 111 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 4: be great. Thank you for everything you do. 112 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: But well, first off, I want to apologize because we 113 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: should have answered this in real time because he's got 114 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 1: a tag of a lifetime in New Mexico. I'm sorry, 115 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 1: but we do have some advice. I'm like, Jason, go first. 116 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we struggle. 117 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: We've got some good tags, right, and it's one of 118 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: it's a blessing and a curse. It's it's awesome that 119 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: you got the opportunity. But just like you, I feel 120 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: extreme pressure when I draw these tags, whether it's a 121 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: great archery tag, great rifle tag, and one thing I 122 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: have to like, it's very important for me leading into 123 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: the hunt is just to remember that I love to 124 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: hunt and why I'm out there hunting. It's it's It 125 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: might seem a little cliche to go back and kind 126 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: of boil it down to that, but when you got 127 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: good tags, there's I think everybody feels a little more pressure. 128 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 3: You have to perform. 129 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: It's your it may be your opportunity for that you know, 130 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: trophy of a lifetime or the animal that you're after, 131 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: or maybe you know somebody hasn't experienced success and they're 132 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 2: looking at this once in a lifetime tag is just 133 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 2: their first stepping stone you know in successes. So so 134 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: first of all, like I feel it's important to go 135 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: back and boil it down to why you're out there 136 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: and kind of from that point, remember that you're out 137 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: there to have fun, Like this isn't once in a 138 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 2: lifetime potentially or or one of those like upper upper 139 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: tiered hunts, and you just need to remember to have 140 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: a lot of fun, you know, going into that. Now, 141 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: that's that's more of a mindset. Now there are things 142 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: you can do on the technical, tactical, physical, mental side, right. 143 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: I feel like I go into my uh my better 144 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: tags a little more focused, a little more like ready, 145 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: whether I've trained a little bit harder. It gives me motivation. 146 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: You know, I kind of always hate motivation when it 147 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: because it is triggered by things. You know, if you're 148 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: disciplined enough, you'll But but I go into those things 149 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: a little better shape, you know. I've I've did a 150 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: little more e scouting going into those I've called the biologists, 151 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: a little bit more of the normal life, talked to 152 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: outfitters in the area. But it really hopefully when he 153 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: runs into a tag like this, you've had the ability 154 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: to have some honey under your belt. And I'm gonna 155 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go a little bit astray. This is why 156 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: I'm a big, you know, proponent of getting a lot 157 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: of experience, right go out there and enjoy spike tags. 158 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: Go out there and enjoy these other tags. Get experience 159 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: calling Elkin, whatever it may be, so that when this 160 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: once in a lifetime opportunity finally comes, it's not your 161 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: first experience with a bull at twenty yards thirty yards. 162 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: You need to be. 163 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: Prepared, which is not a great answer because you've already 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: drawn the tag and your chance to figure that out 165 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 2: may not be there. But for everybody else before you 166 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: draw this once in lifetime, take get out there experience, 167 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: you know, calling an elk, experience, you know, having elk 168 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: at at very close range. Experience those emotions, you know, 169 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: those mental breakdowns, whatever may come, and figure out how 170 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: to push through that, figure out the mechanisms you need 171 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: to have to push through that, and then you know, 172 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 2: kind of get through it. But there's not aside from 173 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: maybe being a little more prepared, I still put more 174 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: stress on myself on these tags. You just you just 175 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 2: need to go out and enjoy it and hopefully that 176 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: experience kind of kind of plays itself out because you 177 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: do have a good tag, and don't don't put too 178 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: much pressure on yourself because it will take the fun 179 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: out of the hunt. 180 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: I've been on both sides, and that's the best advice 181 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 3: I can give. Man. 182 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: I really love that. A really good friend of mine 183 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: here drew probably arguably the best Elk tag in Idaho 184 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. And he's he's my age. He's 185 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: he's forty eight years old while I'm forty nine. 186 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 3: He's so really old. 187 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: Ancient, so he's a little bit younger than me. But 188 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: we talked about it and he said, you know, he's like, 189 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that I drew this tag in my 190 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: late forties. He's like, because if I had drew drawn 191 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: that in my twenties and my thirties, He's like, I 192 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: would have worked. I would have. I would have hunted 193 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: like it was a job, Like I would have I 194 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: will probably would have. It wouldn't have been fun, and 195 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: I would have put way too much stress on my 196 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: And he's like, honestly, I'm my only goal for this tag. 197 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: He's like, I don't have a goal of inches. I 198 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: have a goal of having the hunt of a lifetime, 199 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: just the best time, enjoy savor every moment, the ups, 200 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: the downs, all of it. I just want to enjoy 201 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: that hunt and remember the rest of my life. 202 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and that's yeah. You know in the question 203 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: he talks about like the stress, and it's just if 204 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: you boil it down, like that's not that shouldn't be 205 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: part of the hunt. Like stress and not to I'm 206 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 2: not a psychologist or anything, but like stress from what 207 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: like we this is like self imposed reasons, right, Like 208 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 2: are you are we concerned that people are I'm gonna 209 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: throw myself in here because I'm in the same boat, 210 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 2: Like are we concerned people are gonna judge us that 211 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: we weren't successful with the great tag? Like the heck 212 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: with all of that, Like just go have fun hunt, 213 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: make it a hunt of a lifetime, like you just said, 214 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: and like put all the other stuff aside. Just just 215 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: go enjoy the experience, enjoy being in a great unit, 216 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: which typically being in a great unit, you're gonna hear bugles, 217 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 2: you're gonna have more action. It's like take all that 218 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: in and and throw away the extra stress. And because 219 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: it comes from a bad place anyways, I feel like 220 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 2: it's it's you wanting to you know, find success, or 221 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 2: you not wanting to maybe let people down to know 222 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: you have the tag. Whatever it may be. Like, all 223 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 2: that is just you know, it's not worth it. Just 224 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 2: go have fun, enjoy it, and you're gonna have a 225 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: better experience and you know, probably have better success by 226 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: by going into it with that mindset. 227 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 5: Yeah. 228 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: Absolutely. And one the my my thoughts on the subject 229 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: to kind of a little different note is I feel 230 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: like sometimes people here, I mean I think I found 231 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: myself guilty this before, like oh they drew this tag, Well, 232 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: it's gonna be easy. It's it's it's not gonna be 233 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: as hard as public land hunting. I think sometimes these 234 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: draw tags, especially really good ones, are they're harder. They're 235 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: like harder than a normal over the counter public land 236 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: hunt these because I mean, there's there's definitely gonna be 237 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: a more target rich environment, there's gonna be a lot 238 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: way more game, there's gonna be more way more animals 239 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: to play with. But you can't like like let your 240 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: guard down and think, oh, well I don't have to 241 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: try as hard. I can just show up and kind 242 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: of half asset and get an ELK. I feel like 243 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: you have to show up and work just as hard 244 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: as you would on a normal over the countertag, if 245 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: not harder, and just maximize that time. So this this 246 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: is back, like, don't stress yourself out with this, but 247 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: you have to. Like, you know what, We're not gonna 248 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: sleep in. We're not gonna spend the milk. We're not 249 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: gonna spend our mid days in camp eating rabbis. We're 250 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna work really hard. We're gonna get up 251 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: at three am if that's what we need to do. 252 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna work. We're gonna hunt all day from dark 253 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: to dark, and we're gonna leave nothing on the table. 254 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: That way, when we when we're done, whether we're whether 255 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: we take an elk or deer, whatever it is you're after, 256 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: wherever you take. At the end, you can say I 257 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: left nothing on the table. 258 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: Yep. 259 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: I gave everything I had for that time I had 260 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: was having and it was the haunt of a lifetime. 261 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: Yep. 262 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: Great question number two. 263 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: Hello, my name is Pattie Zobot. 264 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 6: I'm a new archery hunter and I have not spent 265 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 6: a lot of time. 266 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 7: Getting set up for a shot of forty yards or less. 267 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 7: When you are looking for a spot? 268 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 6: What are you looking for in the brush? 269 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 7: Or sorry? Was how do you determine what a good 270 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 7: location is and what is your strategy for. 271 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: Getting set up for the best shot you can Once 272 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: you located in an alp and that. 273 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 7: Elk is coming in on you, thanks so much? 274 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: Fine? 275 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: Okay, So she doesn't have a lot of experience setting 276 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: up or animals being inside of forty yards? And how 277 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 2: do we determine where we're going to set up if 278 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: that bull's coming in or the bowl to come in? 279 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: Did I get that right? 280 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: Yeah? 281 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: I think so. 282 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So there there's there's I'm gonna answer this in 283 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: a couple of different ways. There's what you're given on 284 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: the ground. A lot of times we find ourselves in 285 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: less than ideal setup. So you just can't make an 286 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: ideal set up on the ground. You know, you may 287 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: be in a brush hole, you may be in a 288 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: wide open timber stand where there is no terrain break, 289 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: no vegetation break, and you're just kind of forced to 290 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: set up where you need to set up, whether it's 291 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: you know, get the wind right, try to be you know, 292 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: for me personally, like on on the level or slightly 293 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 2: downhill from the bowl if I can. Those things all 294 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: kind of are just rules of thumb. But I say 295 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: this because it's easy to say it while you're talking. 296 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: But the real situation out the in the in the 297 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: woods is you set up where you can, where you know, 298 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: when you can, where you can. You've got time running 299 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: against you. You've got a bowl coming in or potentially 300 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: coming in, or sometimes you may have time to set 301 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: up with a little bit better set up. You've got 302 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: to make the best. You know, there was times this 303 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: year where I set it where I'm like, well, it's 304 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 2: not ideal, but I have a twenty yard window here. 305 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: You know, It's like that's all that's gonna work. But 306 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: I had I couldn't foresee anything better. I couldn't move forward. 307 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: And so you've got to make the best of it, 308 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: you know, best, the best with what you're given now 309 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: an ideal setup, if you have the ability. Anybody that's 310 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: hunted Archerie, hunted Elk long enough has dealt with hang ups. 311 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: I think dirt can attest to this. I can like 312 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: every year you're going to have bulls hang up no 313 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: matter how well you pick your setup. But you want 314 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: to try to prevent that if you can. And in 315 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: my opinion, I could be wrong, but what I've seen 316 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: from my you know, experience of elk doing this or 317 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: not doing this, is when an elk gets to a 318 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: spot where they can see visually, see, not hear anymore, 319 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: not smell, none of that. I think it's their sense 320 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: of sight when they get to a point where they 321 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: should be able to see the elk that's calling to them, 322 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: being us with the call in our mouth however we're 323 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: doing it, or the collar behind us, they expect to 324 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: be able to see that elk there. Now a little 325 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: more nervous, they're a little more on edge, like, hey, 326 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: I've put in the work to get to this point, 327 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: like and a lot of times they'll get to this 328 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: hang up spot and they will call or they'll do something, 329 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: you know, whether they posture, whether they call, whether they 330 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: they expect the caller to do the rest of the work. Now, 331 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: if this is, if this is truly a visual thing, 332 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: we need to set up either on a terrain break, 333 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: meaning that the terrain goes from flat to steep, steep 334 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: to flat side hill, a finger ridge, you know, something 335 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 2: that will block the visibility of you and that bowl 336 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: but when they do get to the point where where 337 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: they can visually see that that that elk calling to them, 338 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: whether you're bugling a bowl elk or whether you're a 339 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: cow calling, you know that cow elk that should be 340 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: in this location, you need to be able to shoot. 341 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: And with that said, I like to be within forty 342 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: yards like you you mentioned in the question to that 343 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: terrain break or vegetation break. You know, a lot of 344 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: times if there's clean timber that gets to a brush, 345 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: they will need to break through that brush. If they're 346 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: in brush and they're breaking out into clean timber where 347 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: you're at, they will get to that edge of the 348 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: brush or some them we're in there where there they've 349 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: got good sight. And this is one of the reasons 350 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 2: I don't get to hunt with a lot of two 351 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: person calling setups. But this is where having a caller 352 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 2: potentially thirty you know, I don't like to be too 353 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: far back, but twenty or thirty yards back, because now 354 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: the perceived elk that they should be able to see 355 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: is now twenty or thirty yards behind you. If you 356 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: do this right, or you put them in a location 357 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: where there's another visual break, and that elk can't see them, 358 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: but you're now thirty yards ahead of them. It will 359 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: potentially pull that bowl past the hang up spot for 360 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: you is the shooter and bring them in for an 361 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 2: archery shot. So when I set up i'm looking, I 362 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 2: like to look at it as basically a ninety degree 363 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: window where the bull's coming in or something like that. 364 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: Like I want, you know, if I look forty five 365 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: degrees to my left, forty five degrees a my right, 366 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: ideally I have multiple shooting lanes from zero to forty 367 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 2: or fifty sixty yards right. So if that bull crosses 368 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: to my left trying to get wind, I've got a 369 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 2: shooting lane here. You know, if he crosses, you know 370 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 2: I'm point Nobody can see me pointing here, obviously, but 371 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 2: you know, if they cross in these different values, I'd 372 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: like to have a couple of different whips. Excuse me, 373 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: hit my mic there. I'd like to have a couple 374 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: of different shooting lanes where if that bowl, depending on 375 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 2: where it comes in, I will get a shot from 376 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: zero to sixty. Now, a lot of times, you know, 377 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: it's a balance of you want some cover, but you 378 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: want some shooting lanes. You want you want to have 379 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 2: enough opportunities in there. So uh yeah, I like to 380 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: set up where I can hopefully prevent that bowl from 381 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: hanging up. And then when I do set up, I 382 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: like to have my shooting lanes. And I've talked about 383 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 2: this a lot. Set yourself up in front of obstacles 384 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: and brush and material like let the let your camo 385 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: or let your solids whatever. I'm not going to get 386 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: into argument what you need to have, but let your 387 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: silhouette be broken up by brush or a tree something 388 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 2: behind you, and then you stand in front of it. 389 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 2: That way, you're you're free to move in any direction. 390 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: You know, if the bowl comes in a different direction, 391 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: you can move. And that's kind of my best advice 392 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 2: for a setup. The hanging up, in my opinion, comes 393 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: from letting that bowl be able to see too far 394 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: your location. 395 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great advice. I in fact, when I when 396 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: I set up, I even kind of take it like 397 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: one step further on my shooting lanes. I I don't 398 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: like to have very many shooting lanes. I like to 399 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: have just a couple, okay shooting lanes. I want to 400 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: be able. I want that bull to have to come 401 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: into like thirty forty yards, maybe preferably thirty yards before 402 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: he could ever see where those calls are coming from. Right. So, 403 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: and this is typically for a solo setup. Like Jason said, 404 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: if I have a collar behind me, I want them 405 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: to behind me, but I don't want them too far 406 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: to where I can't see them. I want to keep 407 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: eye contact. That way we can signal each other. It's like, oh, 408 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: we need to move up or hey, collar, move back, 409 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: or move up or down the hill, whatever, because sometimes 410 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: as the caller, when you're back there, you don't know 411 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: what's going on up up and up for the shooter. 412 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: The shooter standing sometimes you can't hear those little nuanced 413 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: sounds as like well that bull's moving this way, it's 414 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: mo in that way. So if we can signal each other, 415 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: we simply we tend to have a a better result 416 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: in the end. But it all kind of depends too, 417 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, on your on your maximum effective yardage. You know, 418 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: if you're really good out past sixty yards, and maybe 419 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: you want to set up like that. But I feel 420 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: like if anytime I set up to where it's a 421 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: little further distance to where they can come in and 422 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: eyeball me, sometimes they hang up and I may not 423 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: get a shot, but if they have to come in 424 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: really close and I don't, I like to. I like 425 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: to shoot close. I like to be that thirty yards 426 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: or less, maybe forty if I'm pushing it, because like 427 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: personal for my maximum effective distance, I like to keep 428 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: it forty or less, just because I know that if 429 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: I have that shot, I'll one hundred percent make it. 430 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: But everyone's different. Now as far as as I'm traveling, 431 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: as I'm moving towards the bowl, and I'm doing a 432 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: few things, I'm looking at as every step of the way, 433 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: as I'm going to the words that bowl, as i 434 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting closer to that elk. Let's say 435 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: I've I've traveled three hundred yards across the ravine or 436 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: something to get close to this bowl. I've traveled quietly. 437 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: I haven't been bugling, but most of the way I 438 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: don't make a lot of I don't pop, I pop, 439 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: I pop as much brush as I want until I 440 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: get into that zone. It's like, I think that elk 441 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: is probably gonna be a couple hundred yards away now, 442 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: maybe one hundred yards away. I'm gonna get really quiet 443 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be very calculated at point, and I'm 444 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: gonna and what I do is I look ahead to 445 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: where if if I could see an elk standing there 446 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: and he could see me, what's that distance? Is that 447 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: eighty yards? Is that sixty yards? Is at one hundred yards? 448 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: If it's if I only have visibility to thirty yards, 449 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: I start thinking, Okay, I'm getting in a good place 450 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: to maybe call this bowl into. But let's say I 451 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: get over there and I can see one hundred yards 452 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: through big open timber. I'm probably gonna pause for a 453 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: minute and kind of reassess. I'm gonna number one. I'm 454 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,719 Speaker 1: not gonna want to start calling until I get to 455 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: a point where I think he's pretty close to here. 456 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: But I don't want to start making a bunch of 457 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: calls right now to where he could, like all of 458 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: a sudden, appear one hundred yards away and look and 459 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: see my location, because he's gonna be expecting to see 460 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: an elk, and then he's gonna stop, and he's gonna 461 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: look a little bit, and then he's gonna leave. So 462 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably be a little calculated before I show 463 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: my hand, my cart, my hand of cards. Per se. 464 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: If I get to that one hundred yards, Like, I 465 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: don't like this spot. I'm gonna but I think he's close. 466 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna creep forward slowly, and I'm probably gonna use 467 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: my binoculars a little bit. I'm gonna have my eyes 468 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: just fixated on picking apart every little bit of brush, 469 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: looking for movement, whether I see an antler time, whether 470 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: I see an ear moving, whether I whether I see 471 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: a black nose or a black mane. I'm gonna be 472 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: looking for that bowl and then I'm gonna get through 473 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: that section. And usually you'll get a one hundred yards 474 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: or so, and then the timber will grow a little denser. 475 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: Maybe you'll have some younger trees and it'll get a 476 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: little thicker, and it's like, Okay, now I'm starting to 477 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: get to a place where it's a little bit I 478 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: can't see as far. Now I'm gonna start picking apart. Okay, 479 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: I want to have a couple pretty good, pretty good 480 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: shooting lanes. You mentioned forty yards maximum forty yards. You know, 481 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, I shoot forty yards there or maybe 482 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: twenty yards, so maybe one pretty decent one and maybe 483 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: one so so one. And I found when I do 484 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: this bulls come in a lot closer, and they don't 485 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: just stand out there and just look at me. All right. 486 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 5: Next question, Hey guys and Dan up here in North Ido, 487 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 5: I had a question for you being here up here 488 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 5: in Ido in a thick brush country. Often I have 489 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 5: rely heavily on our calling. Of course, since you it's 490 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 5: hard to blast them and whatnot, But often I have 491 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 5: a we'll have an interaction with the bowl calling back 492 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 5: and forth, and I know that they that bowl will 493 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 5: still be in the area. My question, I was wondering, 494 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 5: if you can confirm that that bowl or whatever is 495 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 5: still in the same area and you want to go 496 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 5: back and try them another day, do you go back 497 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 5: in there with different calls, different mouth calls, different bugle 498 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 5: tubes or do you think they have a memory for 499 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. It's just curious. Thanks for the show. 500 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: DOCU so bulls in their memory and calls. And then 501 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: I have a different opinion now than when I started. 502 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: I felt like, uh, if I if I was calling 503 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 2: to bowl and wasn't able to call them in, I 504 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 2: needed to switch my diaphragm up. I needed to go 505 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 2: from an external you know, a cow call or whatever 506 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: it may be, in my opinion, I not the elk 507 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: aren't smart animals, but I don't feel they've got the 508 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 2: ability to associate like ELK calls with with the next elk. Now, 509 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 2: individual individual Now with not saying this only affects people 510 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 2: aren't good callers. But if you sound like a elk 511 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 2: or close enough to a real elk and they believe 512 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 2: that at that time, then you're probably okay. Now, if 513 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 2: there are suspects sounds, I think elk could potentially and 514 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: you make the suspect sounds the first time in the 515 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 2: second time, like I'm not I'm not going to vouch 516 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 2: for you that they're not going to pick that out 517 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 2: multiple times or every time you do it. Let's let's 518 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: assume you call good enough. You know it sounds like 519 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: you rely on your calls a lot in North Idaho, Brushy. 520 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 2: If you're a good enough caller, I don't feel if 521 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: you sound like an elk, you can really mess things 522 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: up up or they attribute to memory. 523 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 3: I do get a little concerned. 524 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 2: Number one, if I ever get winded why I'm calling now, 525 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: I don't know I'm saying I get concerned now. I 526 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: don't know if that has just educated them for the season, 527 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 2: if it's educated them for two days, three days a week. 528 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 2: Sometimes we went back in there a lot of times 529 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: I'll give them a day or two just because in 530 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 2: my head it's like, man, they I winded them, I 531 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: busted them, Like, I'm not going to put pressure on 532 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: them again. I want to let that memory subside. Now 533 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: I'm speculating here a lot getting winded while calling is 534 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 2: concerning being seen. Why calling? I think it has got 535 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: to trigger something like why is there a predator or 536 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 2: you know, a human looking at me that sounds just 537 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 2: like us I and I'm I'm just I'm thinking of 538 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: this like a human, Like I can't say what an 539 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 2: elk actually understand. So with that said that to to 540 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: not circle around this question, if not to sound over 541 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: confident or pretentious or anything, I feel like I sound 542 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: enough like an elk with through my calling that I 543 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 2: can go back in there and not switch diaphragms, not 544 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 2: switch my style, as long as I know I didn't 545 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: get winded, and I don't feel that an elk's memory. 546 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I've got enough, you know, 547 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 2: boots on the ground, real world experience to tell, you know, 548 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 2: be very confident that it doesn't matter. I've called to 549 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: a bowl one day, didn't work out, come back in 550 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: the next day and kill them with the same exact 551 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: sequence and the same exact diaphragm in my mouth. So yeah, 552 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: I don't feel you can really mess up by or 553 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: or by using the same calls, or that you have 554 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: to go through the process of switching your calls up, 555 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: or going from a diaphragm one day to an external 556 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 2: cow call the next day to a you know, a 557 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 2: squeeze call the next whatever you're using. I don't think 558 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 2: you have to go to those extents. Either the bulls 559 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 2: you're gonna it's gonna be right or it's going to 560 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: be wrong, regardless of what calls in your mouth. My opinion, 561 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 2: I do play a little bit of defense there if 562 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 2: if they've got winded when I come back in or whatnot. 563 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 2: But I don't feel if you sound like an elk, 564 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 2: you can really screw up too bad. 565 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: My opinion is pretty similar to yours. I feel like, 566 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: if you haven't busted that bowl, if you haven't spooked 567 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: him out of there, yeah, you could definitely go back 568 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: in with you know, the next day, or maybe you 569 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: want to let him set for a couple of days 570 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: before you go back in whatever. I don't think you 571 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: need to switch up your calls. But I will say 572 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: from my anecdotal experience where there was a time several 573 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: years ago I called in a bowl and I missed him. 574 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: I hit a branch and I missed him, and he 575 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: spooped off and ran off, but he kept bugling, so 576 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: I pushed up on and pressured him, and he came 577 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: in a couple more times. But I had pressure him 578 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: really hard that day, and one time he caught me 579 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: in the open and he I don't know that he 580 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: saw me, but I had the lad completely flat on 581 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: the ground because he caught me in an open trail 582 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: and I had a lay down so he wouldn't see 583 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: me when he came back. But then he finally eventually 584 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: kind of spookeed off. But I went back the next day, thinking, well, 585 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: this guy was hot. I'm gonna get him the next day. 586 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: And I could see him. It was in kind of 587 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: some kind of cutover timber, so I could see him 588 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: at a distance, and I got out of my truck, 589 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: hiked up the hill, got to the spot called I bugled, 590 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: and soon and he was feeding at the time as 591 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: soon as I bugled, he threw his head up and 592 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: he ran like, I'm the opposite director, the complete opposite direction. 593 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: So I feel like that that pressure that i'd put 594 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: on him the day before probably fouled that up. And 595 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: what we don't know is like once that, once that 596 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: scenario plays itself out, and you're like, well, I didn't 597 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: get him, I'm gonna go back home or whatever, I'm 598 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: gonna leave. Who's to say that bowl doesn't come back 599 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: and sniff around like our scent can be left on 600 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: the ground for quite a while. You know, I probably 601 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: took a leak afterwards, because I'd probably been holding it 602 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: for a while. But those things come back around and 603 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: sniff around the area a little later on in the day, 604 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: and they're like, well, I don't know, like I don't 605 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: like what happened earlier. I don't know if they're that smart, 606 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: But I feel like, if you've bumped them, if they've 607 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: seen you, if you've spooke them pretty hard, you might 608 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: want to give them a couple of days to kind 609 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: of forget, or the next time when you go back in, 610 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: maybe you want to take your different bugle tube and 611 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: a different diaphragm. And kind of mix up your the 612 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: sounds you make and try. 613 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, hurt. 614 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, I can take different It 615 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: seems like if I take different bugle tubes of different diaphragms, 616 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 2: I end up sounding the same because I'm trying to 617 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: force myself to sound like a certain sound. 618 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: But yeah, I agree, you can. 619 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: You can change things up a little bit, just if 620 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: nothing else to give you the confidence that you're doing 621 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: something different, a little bit of a placebo effect, right, Like, 622 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 2: I'm of the opinion that it's either it's either right 623 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: or it's wrong. You know, the time's right or it's wrong. 624 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 2: And I don't know if it really matters what's in 625 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 2: your mouth for a call. You know, you're either going 626 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,959 Speaker 2: to sound like a cow and he wants to come 627 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: in and find a new cow, or you're going to 628 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 2: sound like a bull and he wants to come in 629 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: and run you off, regardless of maybe what you sound 630 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: like is my opinion, not saying it's fact. But I'm 631 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: more of the opinion though, that it's either right or 632 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: it's wrong at the time that you're using that call, 633 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 2: And it doesn't this sly matter what you sound like. 634 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: You love it. I have to agree with a lot 635 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: of that. All right, next question. 636 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek, I appreciate this. I just got done with 637 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 8: my second archery. I'll hunt and bulls are pretty vocal 638 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 8: down in New Mexico and Nihila, bulls are pretty vocal. 639 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 8: But quickly I was kind of realizing that when we 640 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 8: were vocal using cow calls and stuff, they would be 641 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 8: vocal and kind of stop and we'd cut the distance. 642 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 8: But the second we'd introduce a bowl, they create distance 643 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 8: from us and we would never be able to We 644 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 8: were never able to get on them. So my question 645 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 8: is do you think that elk came to cipher between 646 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 8: human and hunter? And do you think that they do that? 647 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 8: Do you think that they stay in order to keep 648 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 8: tabs on us to stay away from us? Thank you. 649 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 2: Man, that's a deep one. I'm trying to process it 650 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 2: all here. I'm gonna try to restate the question. Make 651 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 2: sure I got it. I'll let Dirt correct me. So 652 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 2: it sounds like they were in the Hila had elk 653 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: biglan being vocal and when they would calcol the elk 654 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: would sometimes cut the distance or move in, but when 655 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: they would bogle, they elk would shut up or maintain 656 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 2: their distance or get further away. I think that's it 657 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 2: for the most part, and without having any any further detail, 658 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: I think the distance or the the timing of your 659 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: bugles is maybe more important than just saying. 660 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: And I've got to speculate here. 661 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 2: I've talked about this a lot on even it maybe 662 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 2: ranks up as my number one mistake. Why calling elk 663 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: is did you bogle when you thought you were one 664 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 2: hundred yards away or knew you were a hundred yards away, 665 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,719 Speaker 2: or did you biegle when you thought you were three 666 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 2: hundred or four hundred yards away and expected that to work? 667 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 2: From my experience, and I learned the hard way many 668 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 2: many times of wanting to get a bull to beagle. 669 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 2: As I came in, I would, you know, be agle locate? 670 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 2: I would bugle a little bit down the hill or up, 671 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: you know. As I approach, I'd bugle again, and I'm like, man, 672 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: this elk is staying the same distance no matter what 673 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 2: I do. 674 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: You'd call your way to the bull? 675 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, I because whether I wanted the confidence, 676 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 2: I wasn't confident where he was at, so I wanted 677 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 2: to hear him again to make sure I was going 678 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: the right spot, so you call you bigle again, you 679 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 2: get an answer, But you can only do that so 680 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 2: many times until you get to a spot where he's 681 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 2: gonna now pull his cows away and just leave right. 682 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 2: He's gonna avoid any confrontation if he can. For the 683 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 2: most part, with that said, I buggled myselves into betting 684 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 2: areas where that bowl wasn't going to move an inch, 685 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 2: and it worked out. But for the most part, especially 686 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 2: in the morning before they've actually betted down, I try 687 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 2: to make sure that I don't bugle until I'm very 688 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: very close. I feel that buggling your way into a 689 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: bowl from the time you locate until the time here 690 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 2: within the red zone or the bubble is the potential 691 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 2: greatest cause for that bull leaving or getting out of 692 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 2: the area with his cows. Of course, we're talking about 693 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: herd bulls here, which it sounds like I'm gonna speculate 694 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 2: that that's what you're you're hunting. But with that said, 695 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 2: timing of the bugle, I'd be very curious, and I 696 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 2: know we can't have a dialogue, but i'd be curious 697 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: to know if you were bugling at three hundred yards 698 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 2: or a hundred or five hundred like how that worked 699 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 2: and kind of if the bull completely disappeared and stop bugling, 700 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 2: or if the bull would just kind of stay in 701 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 2: equidistance apart the entire time. In those situations, I would like, 702 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 2: I said, you got to just you got to get 703 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 2: closer to bagle. You have to be quiet, you have 704 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 2: to make some assumptions. You have to be confident that 705 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 2: those those elk are going to be in that location. 706 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: And what once you locate them, Yes, once you locate them, 707 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: then what you've. 708 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: Got to almost assume where they're at at that point. Now, 709 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 2: some people might be like, well, I know right where 710 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 2: they're at when they be agle. For me, a lot 711 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 2: of times, whether it's mountain country or broken country, I'm like, 712 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 2: there's a bowl down in that canyon. I don't know 713 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 2: exactly where he's at, but there's something in that canyon, 714 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 2: and you know, whether it's a long distance bugle, whatever 715 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 2: it may be. So a lot of times you pull 716 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 2: out your mapping software. For us, it's on X, You're like, 717 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 2: all right, he's down that canyon. You put your little 718 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 2: you hit the I don't even know what the button 719 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 2: is on the bottom right of on X. You hit 720 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 2: the button, and it tells you exactly what's direction you're 721 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 2: pointing your phone. You kind of pointed to the bugle. 722 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 2: You're like, I think he's about five hundred yards. Well, 723 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: he's about in here, right. So now I've got a 724 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 2: point in my head or on the map, and I've 725 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,760 Speaker 2: got to assume that he's going to be there. Now, 726 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 2: if it's going to take you an hour to get there, 727 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 2: he might not be there right, And and so you've 728 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 2: got to you've got to add all this in. But 729 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 2: you've just got to get really really close to olt 730 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 2: when you're gonna bugle. You know, we we maybe talk 731 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 2: about it too much that we you know, we're bugle 732 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 2: bugle heavy collars, but we're we're always trying to get 733 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: very very tight. You know, we locate from a distance, 734 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 2: you get a response basically like a game of Marco polo, 735 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 2: but you don't you don't say it again until you 736 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 2: get within tight tight dis And some of them because 737 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 2: I feel your your chances of calling him in or 738 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 2: are very very difficult. And you know, in those instances 739 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 2: if you're gonna call them longer distances and a lot 740 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 2: of times you're not gonna call this herd bowl in. 741 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 2: If you do this but sticking to the cow calls, 742 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 2: like you said, you're most likely going to call in 743 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,280 Speaker 2: some of those satellite bowls and they may be great bulls. 744 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 2: And if you're just after any legal elk and you're 745 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 2: not after any legal bowl and you're not after that 746 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,720 Speaker 2: herd bowl, it may be a great tactic. 747 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 3: But that's just my opinion. 748 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 2: I can't ask you, you know, the exact you know, situation, 749 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 2: but my speculation is you were maybe buggling a little 750 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 2: too far out, which would allow that bowl time to 751 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 2: run his cows up and get away from you. 752 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: That's a great answer. One thing I'd like to bring 753 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: up to is he said he was second time, second 754 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: year l hunting. 755 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 3: Now. 756 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: Sometimes, and I don't want to assume that you're not 757 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: a good caller, but sometimes as new callers, we don't 758 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: sound like an elk very good. You know, Sometimes we 759 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 1: make some bugles that are a little suspect, like maybe 760 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: your cow calls sound really good, maybe your bugles sound 761 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: not so good, And especially if you're hunting in an 762 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: area that's had some pressure or whatever, or maybe you know, 763 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: I've heard some elk calls before in the woods. Guys, 764 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: running calls and it sounded nothing like an ELK, and 765 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: they were selling it hard like it was an ELK 766 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: and it was not an ELK sound at all. So 767 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: you have to, like, you know, to look at the 768 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: man in the mirror a little bit and like, do Mike, 769 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: are my ELK calls authentic? Now? You don't have to 770 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: sound like some world champion ELK caller, your favorite YouTube celebrity, whatever. 771 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: What you have to sound is like an ELK, and 772 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: ELK make all sorts of weird vocalizations and some of 773 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: them sound really terrible. But what they do have is 774 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: they do have that realism. There's some there's a there's 775 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: a level of realism to the call. It may not 776 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: be a perfect call, but it does still have some 777 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 1: realism to them. But if your your calls are you know, subpar, 778 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: and they're just not sound like a real ELK, then 779 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: right now here we are it's November. Pick up a 780 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: call and wear out a few between now and next September. 781 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: You know, practice, practice, practice. It's a five to ten 782 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: minute thing a day. It's not a five hour thing 783 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: a day. You do not have to do this for 784 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: an hour a day unless you want to. But even 785 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: five ten minutes a day is definitely gonna move the needle. 786 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 1: So by the time next fall comes, you're gonna be 787 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: very familiar with your call. The call you want to 788 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: make is going to come out of your bugle, and 789 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna sound pretty authentic. That would be my first thing. Now, 790 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: New Mexico. We've hunted New Mexico a few times, and 791 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: I know we got a lot of advice from people 792 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: who've hunted New Mexico before. One one piece of advice 793 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: I was given was don't ever call No, don't ever 794 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: bugle to bowls. In New Mexico. They don't bugle to bugles. 795 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: And I said, okay, what should we do? Well, be 796 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: very very heavy on cow calls. Okay, great day one, 797 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: New Mexico. Lots of cow calls. I'm doing lots of 798 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: cow calls, hardly no bugles. I'm just not getting any reaction. 799 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: I'm not getting any replies from these elk I'm not 800 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: getting you know, nothing is good, nothing's bad. I start bugling, 801 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: like I start running my normal program where I do. 802 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: I'm pretty bugle heavy, but I do use a lot 803 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: of caw calls too. Now I'm starting to get reactions 804 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: from these elk. So you can't always take all of 805 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: the advice as gospel. There's good advice, you know, in 806 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: every in you know, there's there's there's there's shades of 807 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: truth to everyone's advice. But you have to take that 808 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: that advice for what it's worth and for the day 809 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: and the situation that you're in. So if if Lake 810 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: mightst say, one day, you're doing some cow calls, but 811 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: you're just not calling anything in, try some bugles and 812 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: if those bugles are working, great, stick with them. Or 813 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: if the bugles are not working, let's say your calls 814 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: sound good like you in your bugling, but they elk 815 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: keep moving away. Maybe you should lay off the bugles. 816 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: Maybe let's let's just go to cow calls. Maybe try 817 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: to locate them really good and try to figure picking 818 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: down exactly where that bull is and then get there quietly, 819 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: get as close up close and personal that bull as 820 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: you can, and maybe at that time it'd be time 821 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: to dif some cow calls. But whatever's working, keep doing it. 822 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 1: Whatever's not working, don't do it. I'm a big believer 823 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: in that. And then one thing was really crazy for 824 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: me in New Mexico was we thought, like, we've been 825 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: hunting out for a long time, and you have kind 826 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 1: of a distance gauge. Every time you hear a bugle, 827 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, it's this far away. Well, New Mexico 828 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: really screwed with my head because the bulls would sound like, oh, yeah, 829 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: they're just right over here, you know, they're like three 830 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: hundred yards away, two hundred yar away. They could be 831 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: almost a mile away because of the din because of 832 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: the how dense the timber is or the cover there. 833 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 1: It's not as they don't have big tall trees like 834 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: we have up in the Northwest. It's more open, so 835 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: the sound travels so much further and it's so much louder. You. 836 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: I felt like there were several days I thought, oh, 837 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: I would set up I think I'm gonna call this 838 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: bully in and he was still a quarter of a 839 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 1: mile away. I was not even in the realm of 840 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: calling this bullet. So you have to really factor that 841 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 1: in to your calling setups too, especially in New Mexico. 842 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a different sound travel pattern there. So 843 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: all right, next question. 844 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, this is a Dimitri just calling. I just 845 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 6: got back Montana archery hunt. I had a bull come 846 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,280 Speaker 6: in to forty yards that I had just previously arranged. 847 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 6: I was standing in front of some brush in a 848 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 6: tree and the ilk came in so fast I didn't 849 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 6: have time to draw. He faced straight at me and 850 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 6: was sniffing around looking for the cow that that I 851 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 6: just called. And I feel like five minutes I was frozen, 852 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 6: couldn't move. He finally turned quartered a little bit and 853 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 6: suck three steps in front of right behind two trees. 854 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 6: And so my question is, should I have tried to 855 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 6: tend that needle between those trees? Should I have tried 856 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 6: to take that funnel shot? 857 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 9: When he did quarter two and got his head yet 858 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 9: behind one of the trees. I did draw back, but 859 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 9: he never seems to give me really my shot that 860 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 9: I was kind of looking for. 861 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 4: I was hoping that he would take a couple. 862 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,720 Speaker 6: Of steps, but he never did, and he. 863 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 4: Just kind of shot it off after. 864 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 6: I try to call Calum back. But yeah, just one 865 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 6: of those cify Ghanny tips for me on that, Thanks yer. 866 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: Man. 867 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 2: So I've been a big fan of Frontals for a 868 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 2: long time. Anybody it's heard me talk or talk about 869 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 2: Frontels knows that I'm a big fan. Now forty yards. 870 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan, right, so I'm gonna I'm 871 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 2: not telling you what to do, like this is the 872 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 2: decision everybody's got to make. But for me, forty yard 873 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 2: frontal is not gonna happen, no matter how excited I am, 874 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 2: no matter how much I want to kill a ball. 875 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 2: I know my limits usually going into season, and I've 876 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 2: never been comfortable to a point where a forty yard 877 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 2: frontel was like on the table, I've got to hit 878 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 2: a four inch wide slot, and if I can't guarantee 879 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 2: that arrow is going to hit inside of that four 880 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 2: inch wide by about twelve inches tall pocket, you know, 881 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 2: ten inch tall I pocket, I'm I'm not shooting, so 882 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 2: I would say frontels off off the table, you know, 883 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 2: shooting between two trees, I've got to guess a little 884 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 2: bit here, right, we didn't We don't get all the information. 885 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna assume you had vitals between those two trees. 886 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 2: At that point, there's no harm, right, You're either gonna 887 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 2: hit him where you need to hit him. If if 888 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 2: it's the vitals, are you gonna stick a tree? I 889 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 2: do way more comfortable with a shot between two sound 890 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 2: like maybe there's an opening between these two trees, I'm 891 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 2: way more confident there as long as I can tell 892 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 2: where the anatomy of this elk lays out in between 893 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 2: those two trees. You know, not everybody knows elk or 894 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 2: big yellow tan critters. You can get real confused, real quick, 895 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,439 Speaker 2: especially if that gap between those two trees is tight. 896 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 2: You might not know if you're hitting guts, back, haunch, 897 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 2: shoulder blade right, if you can't make out definition and 898 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 2: so shooting between these two trees could be risky. But 899 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 2: if you're confident, if you can maybe see his head 900 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 2: sticking out one side, his hind end sticking out the 901 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 2: other end, can gauge where you're at. I'm very confident 902 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 2: shooting between two trees because I feel like I'm either 903 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 2: going to hit him where he needs to be hit, 904 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 2: assuming he's at forty yards, or I'm gonna hit a 905 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 2: tree and worst thing is I lose a broadhead to 906 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 2: a tree. To back up a little bit, you know, yeah, elk, 907 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 2: we still get surprised all the time on on elk 908 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 2: coming in silent. 909 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's. 910 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 2: Crazy how how quiet an eight hundred pound plus or 911 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 2: minus critter can be. 912 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,760 Speaker 3: But uh, I've. 913 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 2: Learned that a lot of my success hinges on this 914 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: that very short window of hearing, seeing, knowing a bulls there, 915 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 2: and getting your bow drawn in a in a timely 916 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 2: fashion that one you don't have to hold it forever, 917 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 2: but two you've got it drawn before he can see 918 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 2: you draw, you know, learning that it's almost more of 919 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 2: a of an art than it is than it is 920 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 2: anything else. Is just knowing when and what you can 921 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 2: get away with and getting drawn back. But yeah, aside 922 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 2: from that, I don't have a lot of other advice, 923 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 2: Like you got to be very confident, you know, is 924 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 2: as Dirk had mentioned, he knows he's he's a hundred 925 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 2: percent confident if it's inside one hundred or inside forty yards, 926 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,479 Speaker 2: he's gonna he's gonna make the shot. You know, same 927 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 2: thing here if that bowls inside forty yards, I'm very 928 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 2: comfortable and and and if I'm gonna make that shot, 929 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 2: I want to be one hundred percent confident that I'm 930 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 2: gonna kill it. And so I don't like a forty 931 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 2: yard frontel, and I like the shot between the tree. 932 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,800 Speaker 2: But you know, having your bow drawn back soon enough 933 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 2: that you don't have to try to decide when to draw, 934 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 2: and if they're gonna draw, why they're you know, if 935 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 2: you're gonna get away with drawing, why they're looking at you? 936 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 2: You try to prevent all that from being drawn before 937 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:39,800 Speaker 2: they their eyes are out in the open. 938 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to agree with all that. That's a 939 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: great that's spot on. And I will say this too, 940 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 1: as far as alert elk in a frontal position, a 941 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: bull that's alert and looking like has stopped and is 942 00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:03,879 Speaker 1: looking for that other bull or cow they're they're they're 943 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 1: on high alert at that point. So at forty yards, 944 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: when your bow goes off, it seems like you're both 945 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 1: shooting fast, but there's a there's enough time for between 946 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 1: the time your bow goes off and that arrow reaches 947 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: that elk for that that bowl to be facing the 948 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: complete opposite direction. They can spin on a dime very quickly. 949 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: So I don't really recommend a frontal shot on an 950 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: alert elk, whether it's at ten yards or at forty yards. 951 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 1: I've been around, I've taken a frontal shot a couple 952 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 1: of them. I've I've been around other folks who have 953 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 1: taken frontal shots. And the bulls that are that are 954 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: coming in like on full alert. When that SHOT's taken. 955 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, maybe the pen everything is in the perfect spot. 956 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,959 Speaker 1: But at the very split second that that bow goes 957 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 1: off and the arrow reaches the elk, they can move 958 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 1: and now it's not hitting in that same slot that 959 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 1: Jason was talking about. And now it's now it's gonna 960 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: be a track job that you may or may not 961 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: yield a bull elk. So it's it's it's kind of 962 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 1: a tricky situation. And especially at forty yards. I don't 963 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: recommend a frontal shot at forty yards whatsoever period. They 964 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 1: need to be closer twenty yards or less. There's so 965 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 1: many things to consider, like the angle of the elk. 966 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: Is he quartering this way, is according that way? Is 967 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: he above you? Is he below you? All the angles 968 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: have to be good to thread that that arrow right 969 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: down the pipe right, So consider extreme angles, whether it's 970 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: upper high or low, and angles of quartering. And then 971 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 1: the alert factor. If that bowl is not super alert, yeah, 972 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,879 Speaker 1: he may not know what hit him and he's gonna 973 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: tip over dead in forty yards on a perfect shot. 974 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: So that's my advice. All right, we have time for 975 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: one more question, Dirk. 976 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 7: My name's Preston dressler. I live in southwest Oregon. I 977 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 7: hope to harvest my first Roosevelt elk in the next 978 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 7: few years. I've been after them for eight years plus. 979 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 7: I'm hunting at over six thousand feet, so obviously a 980 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 7: very different train for Roosevelts. However, I understand that they 981 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,760 Speaker 7: live here year round and have had several close encounters, 982 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 7: just not what put one in the freezer yet. I'd 983 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 7: love to hear some information on hunting Roosevelt's. 984 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 4: In the mountains. 985 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 7: I'm a rifle hunter. My season isn't until a round Thanksgiving. Obviously, 986 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 7: this is after the rut. Snows normally on the ground, 987 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 7: but the elk are being quiet. It's a you know, 988 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 7: a bowl only tag. So unfortunately cows aren't an option 989 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 7: for me. With relatively low success, I'd love to hear 990 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 7: some tips on how to find the elk come November. 991 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 7: I'm in contact with my wildlife experts in the area. Unfortunately, 992 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 7: this is a deer unit, so they don't have a 993 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 7: lot of information for me. 994 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 4: Please let me know. 995 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 7: What I should be doing, what I'm doing right, what 996 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 7: I'm doing wrong. Love the podcast, hope to hear more soon. 997 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 3: Bye bye, all right, so. 998 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 2: High it sounds like high mountain Roosevelt hunting. You know, 999 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 2: cascade roosevelts. I've got a lot of experience. I've i 1000 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 2: hunt cascade roosevelts growing up, still do occasionally, but I've 1001 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 2: never had the experience hunting them in rifle season. You know, 1002 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 2: you add snow in, There's there's a lot of There's 1003 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 2: a lot of components to this question. I'm trying to 1004 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 2: to kind of go back through them post rut. I'm 1005 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 2: just gonna boil it down to just what I know 1006 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 2: post rut, and Elk's job now is to fatten up 1007 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 2: and eat as much as he can. He's gonna typically 1008 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 2: the big bulls are gonna go into solitude. Smaller bulls 1009 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 2: may bachelor back up, some small bulls may stay with 1010 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 2: the herd. So it really depends on what your goal 1011 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,799 Speaker 2: is going into the hunt. Some of the times I've 1012 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 2: hunted late, I'm looking for where is that bowl gonna 1013 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 2: find solitude and the feed that he needs to to 1014 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 2: basically put on as much fat, as much weight, and 1015 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 2: regain as much of that health as he can to 1016 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 2: get through that winter. If there's snow on the ground, 1017 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 2: I use that snow to my advantage. Whether it's uh, 1018 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 2: you know, you mentioned being high in the mountains. I 1019 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 2: don't know if there's a road system leading in or 1020 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,240 Speaker 2: a trail system. Cutting tracks can can tell you more 1021 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 2: than than anything else can where the elk have been recently, 1022 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 2: where they've been for the last couple of days, weeks, 1023 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. I don't know if you can 1024 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 2: glass in this area. If you can glass, I love 1025 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 2: to get up and look into openings early where they 1026 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 2: may be feeding, or where I can maybe look into 1027 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 2: some some some spots and you may some people may 1028 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about, but they're these spots that 1029 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 2: aren't like you're glassing a clear cut or an alpine 1030 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,240 Speaker 2: above the tree area, but it's there are these spots 1031 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,720 Speaker 2: that may have avalanche shoots, or they may have little 1032 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 2: teeny pockets in the timber you can look in. Those 1033 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 2: are the spots in those later elk seasons. I like 1034 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 2: to look because these elk want to be, you know, 1035 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 2: where there's food, which will be these small little micro openings, 1036 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 2: but they want to be secure and have that security 1037 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:26,720 Speaker 2: and kind of that solitude. So I'm looking in areas 1038 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 2: like that. One thing I like to do. I like 1039 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 2: to I do two things. I want to be able 1040 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 2: to find elk obviously, so you can glass, you know, 1041 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,760 Speaker 2: miles across canyons or miles from ridge to ridge. 1042 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,439 Speaker 3: But I also like to be in the hunt. 1043 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 2: I like to look at canyons where if there is 1044 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 2: an elk there and the wind's gonna be right, I 1045 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,440 Speaker 2: can shoot across that canyon. 1046 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 3: I'm in the hunt. 1047 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 2: Versus there are times where I consider I'm hunting, but 1048 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 2: I'm out of the hunt, right I'm glassing at something 1049 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,840 Speaker 2: two thousand and three thousand yards away, hoping to find 1050 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,799 Speaker 2: something that I can then play on, but I'm never 1051 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 2: in the hunt at that moment. And so I I 1052 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,440 Speaker 2: tend to like that, to be in the hunt when 1053 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 2: I can, or or when I'm looking at spots. But 1054 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 2: cutting sign obviously going to be your best bet. 1055 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:09,760 Speaker 3: Calling. 1056 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 2: There's there's no denying. It's it's off the table, cutting tracks, 1057 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 2: glassing in spots where other people aren't going to a 1058 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 2: lot of times, these bulls are gonna want to be 1059 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 2: away from pressure, away from people. If it's if it's 1060 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 2: a cow tag, you know, if you're allowed to. I 1061 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 2: think he did say bulls, right, you know, so so 1062 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 2: scratch that but you will find if you're looking for 1063 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,799 Speaker 2: any bowl. A lot of times those those younger bulls 1064 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 2: will stay with the herd, especially as roosevelts tend to do. 1065 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 2: So if you find a large herd, I would definitely 1066 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,240 Speaker 2: concentrate on that as well. Those bigger bulls will typically 1067 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 2: as soon as the rut uh kind of winds down, 1068 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,359 Speaker 2: they're going to be off on their own, away from 1069 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 2: from all the cows. But not a great answer. We 1070 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 2: we still kill cascade roosevelts, uh, you know above the 1071 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 2: tree line, or I say we or people that I 1072 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 2: know every year up high until the snow basically forces 1073 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 2: them down so you can go high, which it sounds 1074 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,319 Speaker 2: like where you're at, and you know it can work. 1075 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 2: So not a great answer, but that that's really all 1076 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,240 Speaker 2: you can do is find tracks, concentrate on those micro openings. 1077 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:21,840 Speaker 2: A lot of times those bulls aren't gonna want to 1078 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,759 Speaker 2: be out in the wide open where where you may 1079 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,359 Speaker 2: have found them in September October, And uh, yeah, that's 1080 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: that's the best I can can give on that one. 1081 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 1: You know, I can't really add much at all of that. 1082 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that was exactly how I would approach it. 1083 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 1: I don't. I can't really speak to Roosevelts, but elk 1084 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,400 Speaker 1: or elk, right, they need they don't need all the 1085 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: same things I ROCKI needs all the same things a 1086 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,319 Speaker 1: Roosevelt needs. You know, they need, they need food, they 1087 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 1: need security, they need to be you know, they need 1088 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: to recoup from the rut. Right. So just to recap, 1089 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: if you're just having a hard time finding elk, like 1090 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: start start cast a wide in the beginning, drive the 1091 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,360 Speaker 1: road system, look for elk. They're gonna try. If they're 1092 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 1: gonna cross roads. Maybe it's a trail system. Hike the trails. 1093 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: A lot of times elk cutting with a rifle is 1094 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,440 Speaker 1: all about boot, leather and glass. 1095 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:12,960 Speaker 3: Right. 1096 00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,840 Speaker 1: So if if you need to hike a lot and 1097 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,400 Speaker 1: just find elk, if you can't, if it's not an 1098 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 1: area you can glass up, maybe you just got to 1099 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,920 Speaker 1: cover tons of country in a day just to just 1100 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: hike a lot until you find sign and then slow 1101 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 1: down and hunt from there. Like Jason said, you know, 1102 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 1: bigger areas, you know, you may be able to glass 1103 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,279 Speaker 1: into some clare cuts or whatever and find some elk. 1104 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of times you're gonna find the 1105 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: cows and maybe younger bulls, more mature bowls. A lot 1106 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,280 Speaker 1: of times will like you just said, well, we'll separate 1107 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 1: themselves looking for those micro habitats, those those little those 1108 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 1: avalanche shoots, those smaller openings in the timber, just those 1109 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 1: micro places where they don't have to travel far. If 1110 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 1: they can bed one hundred yards away, if they can 1111 00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 1: go over there, they can either belly full, maybe there's 1112 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,359 Speaker 1: somewhere to get some water, or maybe they don't need 1113 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 1: any water at that point because there's enough snow on 1114 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:07,360 Speaker 1: the ground, whatever, whatever the case may be, to locate 1115 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,919 Speaker 1: them that way, and then and then dig in, whether 1116 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,320 Speaker 1: you need to can shoot long range across the canyon, 1117 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,839 Speaker 1: you know, within within range, within reason, or maybe it's 1118 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 1: like okay, i've i've i've spotted that bowl, I've I've 1119 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 1: used my on X to to pinpoint that little location. 1120 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 1: Maybe you don't have to get over there and and 1121 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: dig in and hike that that timber pocket to find 1122 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 1: that bowl. But that's that's how I would approach it 1123 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:36,400 Speaker 1: to So anyway, thanks, Jason, appreciate I appreciate all these answers. 1124 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean, one of these days we're gonna find some 1125 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 1: stuff we don't agree on and we're going to have 1126 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 1: a debate. 1127 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 3: White tails versus meal ears. We've had that a few times. 1128 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,800 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we've had that a lot. You know, people 1129 00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,800 Speaker 1: may not know this.
