Bring trophies to bow range with this multistage calling tactic

Article Reader

Take your calling to another level with this breeding sequence, which mimics a small herd of elk tearing up the timber. Paul “ElkNut” Medel uses it, and his five-man ElkNut crew (elknut.com) has killed 178 bull elk in the last 25 years—all on over-the-counter, public-land hunts.

1. LOCATE

Find elk by climbing high and listening. “You don’t have to see them. If you can hear them, you can pinpoint them,” Medel says. If you’re hearing sounds after 9:30 A.M., odds are they’ve moved into a bedding area. “They’ll be in that vicinity the next day, and the next day, until a predator pushes them out.”

2. FIGURE THE WIND
