Late season Elk..question...

[Artist]

Sorry for posting yet again what may indeed seem like a stupid question for you resident Alberta hunters, but, being a bit of a newbie here, I guess I've got to run the risk of sounding stupid in order to learn the ropes.
So here we go...

What are the chances of a bull elk responding to a bugle at this point in the season? Is there any point attempting with a bugle or is it simply a sure way of giving away your position?

You never know till you try.
If they answer back its worked to locate them.
They were still bugleing here 2 mornings ago.

A friend of my dad's called a bull moose in to camp in July one year...I've had moose answer in early May.. I'm sure elk are no different...

Pretty slim I'd say...
