Learning how to ambush the elk herd as it makes its daily passage from its sleeping area to its pasturage will give you a great advantage. It will work magic for you!
Elk are creatures of habit. They follow patterns of movement. Basically, they bed down from about an hour after daybreak until mid-afternoon. They bed down in the heaviest shelter that they can find, as densely wooded as possible, in order to protect themselves from predators such as bears, and mountain lions. Then in later afternoon, they head from their bedding area to their watering hole where they will get their daily drink. After watering, they head for their favorite pasture. They graze all night, then return to their bedding area the next morning. Knowing this can give you a great advantage. Our info on how to track elk will help you to locate a good site to ambush them as they move from their one area to another. I usually attempt to ambush them as they move from their watering hole to their pasture. This is usually late afternoon. I have bagged 7 elk with this technique. I am now too old to get out in the woods, but I can tell you how to do it! New to your elk hunting area? We advise you what to do; scout the road edges, find where elk herds cross the road, then locate their probable grazing area (it will be close by). Then set up your ambush so that they pass by as they do their daily late afternoon habitual trek from their sleeping area (a dense and protected wooded area) to their pasture area. This technique has never failed me, and has made me one of the most successful elk hunters in my rural Colorado community.
