[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 3007581, member: 34818"] Last year was really dry and hot. But I have never seen it where they just wouldn’t bugle at all on the second hunt. The bulls I have killed, they were all talking. It’s super hard to get on a bull if they arnt talking unless you have spotted them and they are all bedded down and you can make a stalk. I chased that bull, in the last post I made, for a while but couldn’t get on him. It was really dry that year so we sat a tank near where we chased him. He came in that evening and I shot him at 33 yards. If one thing isnt working, you gotta keep your options open and do something else. But hopefully your guide/packer will know where the elk are before you go in. I have been with a buddy in 16B where we hiked in 3.5 miles and set up camp and hunted in a wide circle around camp. No elk to be found because what didn’t know is a group of hunters also packed in there in the first hunt and ran all the elk out of that area. It happens. The trailhead to willow creek is a good area with a lot of elk in it. [/QUOTE]
