SHOW NOTES
Challenges of late-season elk hunting
- Bulls are solitary and hard to find
- Antlers are often broken
- Extreme cold can be a major factor
- Elk are pressured and spooky
- Wintering grounds often present public/private land conflicts
- Shooting in extreme cold is always difficult
Techniques that work:
- Glassing. How to find the best vantage points, how to choose optics
- Hunting elk mentally. Think like a wise, exhausted old bull.
- Tracking in snow. Methods for big herds vs. solitary old bulls
- Ambushing. Patterning, setting up, and moving on late-season elk
