Rules I go by on OTC DIY hunts! These simple things have led us to success for years. >>>>>>>>
Be in good physical shape for the type of hunt you've chosen
Don't worry about elk numbers
I Don't worry about success rates, they are misleading
Hunt where others don't, most elk are taken in under 2 miles from roads
Have no fear of the woods, learn how to navigate them
Know how & when to call, understand what you or the elk are saying
Read each situation & adapt to it
The more days I can hunt consecutively the better my chances
Have multiple areas to hunt or fall back onto, leave area the same day if no elk are there
Don't be afraid to use your bugle for finding elk in dark timber, find them before they find you
Elk hunters are good sufferer's, BY ALL MEANS NEVER GIVE UP!!!
