Forget Calling: The Strategy Behind Stalking Elk

For the better part of 20 years my bowhunting life revolved around trying to coax public land bull elk into bow range.

Calling elk is something I dearly love and my hunting partners and I have had many encounters and a good amount of successful hunts using this method.

However, it seems it's getting considerably harder to trick a bull into coming close enough for a shot these days.
