Elknut's Playbook?
Ha Ha, geez, all wives are alike when it comes to serenading them with elk sounds! (grin) Give the Mellow Yellow a try, it's a very user friendly reed, we send out over a thousand a year & hunters of all experience levels love that reed for it's ease of use. It should do well for you. ElkNut1 -

Elknut's Playbook?
Thanks for the comments guys, it's much appreciated! The PlayBook is written with methods & techniques for nearly any encounter hunters may come across. Hence the name Playbook. (grin) Sorta like a Playbook in the NFL. Reading a situation is still needed by the hunter so he can evaluate what... -

Cow Calling Your Way Right To The Bull!
Thanks for sharing the link! I think you'll like the new info there, good stuff! We enjoy thinking outside the box especially on OTC public land hunts that most of us do hunt. Recon, those later dates are generally migration type hunts. You are correct that glassing or picking up fresh tracks... -

Cow Calling Your Way Right To The Bull!
Yes, we have the New Advertising/Breeding Sequence DVD & the ElkNut 5. Both are new. These two will be responsible for putting a lot of elk on the ground. Thanks for asking! Recon_ Doc. Yes will use a variety of elk sounds to call elk in the 1st 10 days of Sept. There are many years the elk... -

Cow Calling Your Way Right To The Bull!
Ha Ha, you got that right sir, we all can look back at the "what if's" (grin) The "running at the bull" is for selective times especially in thick undergrowth terrain where we can be 30 yards from elk & still see nothing but can hear him calling to us. Many times herd bulls will hold tight... -

Cow Calling Your Way Right To The Bull!
This is a very aggressive move by the hunter & works awesome as a lone hunter as well. There are times when we have bulls hold tight to their position especially when in or around their bedding areas, this especially applies to Herd Bull encounters! If in an encounter with a semi to very vocal... -

Best type of Broadhead for Elk?
I should qualify my last post & mention we've never shot or have used an expandable in the past on any animal so have no real world experience with them. We've only used COC (cut on contact) heads or fixed bladed heads. We've taken bulls with recurve, longbow & compounds. Trad gear arrow weights... -

Best type of Broadhead for Elk?
There are so many great heads out there these days! We've elk hunted for many years now & have taken many elk, we've to date never had a broadhead fail, we've failed but the heads haven't! (grin) With this said we like heads that are tough & must be razor sharp, this is a MUST! My sons & I last... -

Elk decoys?
This is the lightest & slickest decoy I've seen, I have one on my bow & only weighs ounces. It's pretty sweet. http://www.poisonarrowgear.com/ ElkNut1 -

Is it possible? Elks nose vs Thermals vs Elevation....
Thank you sir & congrats on taking a bull via the Estrus Buzz! We've taken a few ourselves with that sound as well. (grin) If undecided on what mouth reed does that sound very well then consider the Mellow Yellow reed, it's my favorite one for it. Good Luck! ElkNut1 -

Is it possible? Elks nose vs Thermals vs Elevation....
Very sketchy! (grin) I'm sure you are aware of this for sure. Bottom line you cannot be winded & still exercise success. Being cognizant of the wind shows your concern. Your scent if conditions are dry can linger for less than 30 minutes. This means you need this amount of time minimum if... -

Full moon deal breaker?
The Rut trumps a Full Moon anytime! The two falling at the same time is what can create a rutfest! It's the best elk hunting & vocalization you will ever experience. When a Full Moon falls in-between the 12th of Sept to end of month or there abouts I want to be there! (grin) There's nothing like... -

Scenario Help...
There's a couple of possibilities you could have considered? You caught the group in a "rutting mode" there were most likely one or more cows in estrus or nearing estrus, this is why the satellites were attracted there & hanging around. They have the same urges as the herd bull so wanted some of... -

Lot's of Questions.....CO Elk
Yep, choose light weight packable rain gear & choose your dates from the 18th on. Be prepared to penetrate 1 to 3 miles min. This will get you passed most hunters & not so pressured elk! Don't be shy about Bugling to locate unseen elk! Good Luck! ElkNut1 -

Elk barks
The Popping/Nervous grunt or bark as some call it (not to be confused with a warning bark) is used by all elk in varying situations. By experiencing this sound in its many forms by elk under different situations one can come to his or her conclusions that if it's good enough for the elk to use... -

Learning to elk call
Anytime you are driving the wife & dogs nuts this shows you are on the right track! (grin) Don't give up, practice until you start getting those soft cow sounds before you move on to any bull sounds! As you practice the cow sounds say Shhhh as your tongue contacts center of latex reed! Using...
