Judging bugle distance

[trophyhill]

I've smelled elk barnyards before, but the elk i killed last year made the drainage i was hunting smell like 10 elk barnyards. by himself. I'd smelled him a day or 2 before i killed him but had no idea how big he was.

Thanks for all the input on distance.

As far as smell, it'll smack you in the face and you'll know. Descriptions above are accurate.
