Elk Hunting

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Elk… if you have never hunted them, what are you waiting for? Elk live in some of the most pristine and beautiful country on earth. They’re a great challenge to hunt, their meat is nothing short of spectacular, and in some cases you can hunt them when they are rutting! If you get lucky enough to hunt elk during the rut get ready to experience the adrenaline rush of a lifetime! No red bull can do this to your system.

Elk numbers are great, but great elk outfitters are numbered! Global Sporting Safaris has strategic partnerships with some of the best and most well respected in the business. Our team doesn’t just sit at the desk — we go out guiding and hunt every chance we get. Our very own Jim Riley has spent 5 years guiding for elk on some of the most productive ranches in the west.  For more details on Elk Hunting and locations, please click here.

Efficient Elk Hunting, 10 Ideas for Success

Friday, September 17th, 2010

MISSOULA, Mont.—If you’re an elk hunter, or would like to be, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is offering 10 ideas for improving your efficiency this hunting season.

All were condensed from recent and coming features in RMEF’s bi-monthly member magazine, Bugle. A subscription comes with an annual RMEF membership for $35. To join, call 800-CALL ELK or visit click here.

1. Scout from Space

If you’ve looked into the night sky, you’ve noticed the many satellites now orbiting our planet. They’re great tools for today’s hunter. Google Earth (earth.google.com) uses satellite images and aerial photography to give birds-eye views of elk country. Locate meadows, burns, roads, water, heavy-timber escape areas and more. You can even find places where the forest canopy thins to suggest hidden grazing spots for elk. Newer GPS units accept uploaded coordinates from Google Earth, allowing you to walk directly to and more efficiently ground-truth potential honey holes.

2. Count Points Quickly

In good habitat, a bull normally has a 5-point rack as a 2-1/2-year-old and a small 6-point rack the following year. Instantly distinguishing five- and six-pointers is not difficult. The fourth point, sometimes called the dagger point, is normally the longest point and most distinctive feature of an elk rack. If the main beam goes straight back from the dagger, you’re almost certainly looking at a five-by-five. If there’s another point rising upward behind the dagger, perhaps forming a horizontal “Y,” then you’re looking at a six-by-six.

3. Practice for Stress

Flinging arrows in the backyard is a far cry from placing a perfect shot on a live elk. In addition to changing shot angles and distances, hunters also must cope with distractions and excitement. Hone your focusing skills by practicing out of your comfort zone. Go to a public range, enter a 3D tournament, practice in the rain, shoot with strangers, hunt small game, anything to break normal concentration and practice rhythms. If you’re with buddies, try talking trash: “Hey, watch and learn while I center-punch this target…” Creating pressure and mental stress, expressly for the purpose of ignoring it, can help you overcome bull fever in the field.
