Title: How do you talk the language?
Post by: Wannabe1 on April 14, 2010, 10:32:00 PM
Can someone turn me onto a good instructional video for learning to elk call? Could also use some information on what type/brand of elk calls to use. As always, any info greatly appreciated.   :thumbsup:

Don't call to much or to little   :)   and  use your feet when they turn away from you.  The wind is #1, cow call when your moving, and don't forget the wind. Did I mention the wind. WIND. Hoochie mama is a good way to start, mouth calls are key if you don't gag.  The bugle can range from what you hear on utube to something you can't believe is an elk. Last season I saw a cow elk with a group of cattle,,, following the cattle calls. Truly bizarre.

Iv got a herd of elk estimated at 300 animals. They move in once a year and don't stay long it doesn't give me much experience trying to call them in.

any advice on seeing if my techniques will work?

I like to use a Hoochie Mama and a diaphram call.
I like to mew a little while I'm moving through the woods just to mask my noise.
This has worked for me in the past.
Bugle very little unless it's during the rut and they're answering.
Wind is everything...I LOVE ELK HUNTING!!!
