Everyone and their dog hunts Sugarloaf. Have fun with that.. Dutch creek is a quadders paradise... so that shoves the elk into the thick stuff and makes them real quiet. If your gonna hint that spot, put the bugle away and just use the cow reed.
I hope you like grizz.... cause he’ll like you. Lots o them around.
If you do bugle, be prepared to attract other hunters... 4 legged and two legged.
During rifle season, I unfortunately bugle more hunters in than anything else if it’s a thurs to Sunday ...
Having said that..... bugling in an elk can be done in 400 and 402.
Frenchman’s creek is pretty good.
Those two zones are stupid busy. Everyone wants the romanticized ‘mountain elk’ encounter.
Edson area is waayyyyyy easier to poke a bull.... but I live too far away.
