How are elk calling out there?
Been out few days now with bow in hand, seen a herd couple days in row, but have yet to hear a peep out of them. I'm north of Edmonton, what's everyone hearing out there?
|
I just got back from a 3 day trip didn't hear anything. Last year this time it was insane. Walked lots of game trails and cut lines.
|
We have been calling for a couple of weeks now and they are starting to respond once in a while. Sometimes not a peep for a couple of days. I have seen a couple of them going insane already, but that is about it.
Pretty warm out too during the day. |
Calling
Calling pretty good for me this morning.
Just added the video to YouTube cause had trouble uploading. https://youtu.be/byX05LAp640 |
I think the elk are using ATV's to move around this year,,,
I hear ATV engines, then the ATV engine shuts off,,, then I hear ELK BUGLING ! Who'd a thunk ? :sEm_oops2: |

Bahahahahahah, that's awesome. One has to wonder, when in history did that ever work? The first elk season...ever??? Now moose....moose can be that dumb. Must be a bunch of moose hunters. Back to the op; they are calling but not really fired up. My guess is most of the action is happening by moonlight. some cool weather is needed |

So far this has been the best first two weeks I've seen in as long as I can remember. I've hunted at least one (but usually both) primetime / day since August 25th. I've heard and seen bulls on all but two occasions.
Great start to what's shaling up to be an epic year 👍 |

Buddy killed his bull yesterday, it was bugled in.
|
Having the best calling response in years in 312. Also the best season opener ever as well. 2 bulls down in our group.
I was on the herd last night going back and forth got in to 30 yards but no shot,had become too dark. DAMN. |
Was hunting sheep yesterday and Listened to at least a dozen bulls non stop all day long in the valleys I was in
|
Hearing plenty up here until Friday regretting letting a few walk now
|
Hearing nothing in 408, finding lots of rams though. Their white bums got me so excited the one morning

Hearing nothing in 406 when we were out. We called in a bull with a cow call sept 3rd in a different zone and my buddy put him down. Been a fun start to the season!

Elk are calling in In Kimberly are BC. My brother harvested a cow Elk with his xbow this afternoon. Very tough due to severely limited hunting areas. Xbows legal during bow season in BC. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...496c548a02.pnghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...493b145ca9.png

Sporadic in different areas, haven't heard a peep in a zone north of Edmonton but co worker arrowed a decent bull that came in just screaming.

Tried calling in two different near by areas today and didn't hear a thing. One place was where a very good size bull was screaming like crazy just a few days ago. Quite windy though. At least it's cooling down a bit.
Good job on that cow, whoever put her down :) |
Nadda
i've been trying near Nordegg. Haven't heard a Peep!
|
Elk are going hard right now. Saw 5 herds yesterday and a bunch of satellite bulls.
