Adam, sorry for delayed response, it's been very busy for us this time of year! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1) My partner and I have hesitated on calling, mainly from lack of experience and not wanting to be bugling and other hunters thinking "What the heck are you doing... -

getting to know elk
Guys, thanks for the kind words! Chris, since you're considering a rifle hunt you really only need to focus on two avenues here, Glassing & Calling! Both are used for location purposes & to be treated as one in the same! Personally I do not focus on what elk may be eating in Oct. In other... -

Archery, Rifle or muzzleloader?
I would have to say Archery for Elk & Rifle for Mule Deer! So far my age of 61 is not dictating my choice of weapon. ElkNut1 -

Won't give up his headgear!
Think what you may, but this was in a study that I'd read about, I too was confused at first as to how it all works but it has been confirmed. ElkNut1 -

Won't give up his headgear!
Yes, I agree! I thought it was odd to until I saw spikes carrying their same spikes into June. I used to feed a group of elk for 5 years & now & then there would be the smaller spikes keeping them & not shedding them. I ended up looking it up either through the RMEF website or Val Guiest & found... -

It's true! Many spike bulls will carry their 2 horns right into the following year. ElkNut1 -

Won't give up his headgear!
It's common for spikes not to drop the first year. There's a good chance he'll wear it this year as well if he's had it this long. This does not apply to all spikes but a fair # of them. ElkNut1 -

OTC vs draw tags
Yes, you can imagine if you draw an LE elk unit where there are 10 -- 50-- 100 -- tags for an entire unit that your odds are very good to get into some great elk hunting minus the hunting pressure Randy mentions. For example here in ID we too are an OTC state, last year in the zone I hunt we... -

Dyaphram calls for newbs.
Here's a bit of mouth reed info on fit & use. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When choosing a mouth reed which is best for us? Reeds come in 1/2" & 5/8" models, many hunters are unaware of this. Most hunters need a 1/2" reed to fit them best. This means if you have a normal size to narrow palate... -

Idaho Elk
Hey ElkStalker how's it going! I should have known it was you by your handle! (grin) idelkhunter, if referring to me sir on the 30 year comment I'm not complaining, I was merely setting the facts down so JW could see there are many of us who do not draw even after long periods of time! I get... -

Idaho Elk
JW, remember just because you draw an elk tag in this state doesn't guarantee you an elk! It's still a very tough road to hoe to become successful, you will still put out a similar effort as you would on an OTC hunt here on Public Land! As some have mentioned, get out there & hunt so when you do... -
