Archery elk season is right on top of us! In this episode I cover five big picture strategies that I think are the most important, overlooked, or misunderstood aspects of archery elk hunting during the rut, especially if you are solo hunting. This isn't meant to be a comprehensive treatment of elk calling, tactics, and gear. There are already many sources for that kind of information. I could write a book about all the lessons I've learned from chasing big bulls, but here I have summarized an overall approach to solo elk hunting that has evolved from first hand experience and success in the field. If you are a new elk hunter this is a good primer to get you started in the right direction. Even if you are experienced I bet there will be something here you haven't tried. No matter who you are, adopting even one of these strategies should improve your hunt.
