    What items do you carry multiples of while in the backcountry?

    2 sources for a fire, 2 knives & 4 game bags, that's it. I like my pack to be under 20# for all day hunts. This does not include bow weight. ElkNut

    Slayer game calls are very good! His bugle is top notch & reeds that are tough to beat. I've had the pleasure to use quite a few of them, you'll like them. ElkNut

    Diaphragm call with dome?

    I will add this. I've sold thousands of Diaphragm calls over the years. 95% were Domed with the 1/2" reeds. Only 5% sold were the wider reeds that were non-domed. Odds are that you will be fine with the domed 1/2" reeds. It takes a very wide pallet to be happy with any mouth reed over a 1/2"...

    2023 rut-less observatons

    When hunters start realizing that the large majority of bulls do not want to fight; you will start becoming a much better elk hunter/caller. Sure there are bulls that can be defensive but they choose to warn than to fight. Hunters will do much better with all bulls when they start reading...

    Brief 2023 hunt writeup / breakdown

    Gertbdog, congrats bud, well done! gelton, no time to be passive, season is winding down! Get down to within 200 yards (closer if possible but don't push it) or so in good cover & wind.

    My hunt today, critique?

    Thomas, Read1t48, is giving good advice, it's obvious he has the App & has diligently studied it, you need to do the same. The info he's sharing is in it.

There's Tactics for rutting elk as well of course! I've hunted this same elk & areas many here do & you can go days without any calling from the...

    Advertising Sequence Is Killing It!

    HighUintas -- If it's a rifle hunt you don't need elk that close. I'd use other sounds just to get a Location & then move in on them! Outside of that yes, the Advertising sequence can work in Aug, Sept, & Oct. -- Getting into an area that is a bulls destination & Displaying there sorta rubs...

    Putting the pieces together in MT

    Keep moving & let that Bugle eat! You want to locate elk that aren't singing on their own then get them to fire off yourself! It's no secret, most bulls will warn you away if a subordinate bull gets too close to them or their domain. That's all you should be looking for, A RESPONSE! Now form a...

    Wyoming Grizzlies are REAL!

    Kenny, wow! My Son & I have hunted two different WY units with grizz but fortunately we did not cross paths with them, I sure hope it stays that way! I wouldn't give up calling but I may switch to only bull sounds, they utilize lots of them. I have called in bears & it seems it's the cow sounds...
