If you’re ever able to take down a trophy elk during a hunt, it will no doubt be one of the proudest hunting moments of your life. It can be very difficult to obtain a trophy elk, which is why so many hunters covet them. If you’re making it your mission to get your hands on a trophy elk before it’s all said and done, there are some things you can do to increase your chances. Continue reading to see the steps you can take to bag a trophy elk.
Get an early start to your day.
Most hunters like to get out and start hunting before the sun comes up. However, it’s especially important to do it when you’re attempting to bag a trophy elk. You’re not going to have much luck intercepting bulls out in the wild if you wait until later in the day. Plan to be up well before sunrise so that you can get a head start.
Avoid using a bugle if you can.
There are many hunters who attempt to use bugles when they’re trying to hunt for elk. This might seem like a good idea, but if a bull has been around long enough, it’s going to be able to tell what you’re trying to do. Put your bugle away to steer clear of scaring a trophy elk off when you’re chasing after one.
Prepare to be patient.
Elk are big, so you might think that it would be simple enough to spot one and intercept it while you hunt. Nevertheless, it’s rarely that easy. Often times, even the most experienced hunters have to spend a day or two tracking the movements of trophy elk before they can get a single shot off. This is all part of the process when it comes to trying to land a trophy elk.
