B*eing able to call elk is an absolute GAME CHANGER!  *So how is it that almost 100% of elk hunters in September will be carrying an elk call of some kind and yet the success rate will be around 10% across the West nationwide? Is it because of a lack of knowledge or know how? The wrong type of call? Limiting equipment or skill sets? Or is it a lack of practice, the strategy they use or simply not knowing how to make the right situational decision? In our opinion, the  simple answer is 'YES' to all of the above in some way or form. But here is the beauty of the situation. It doesn't have to be that way! EVERY person  HAS THE ABILITY to learn to call elk and create opportunities. YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THIS! The ElkBros coaches want to  help you either improve your current situation or get you started on a solid path to success. *It's Part 7(a) of our ElkBros PreSeason Elk Hunting Guide - Learning to Pain With Your Elk Calling.* Because of the extensive information in this section, we had to break it into two parts. Here is what we cover in the first part: - Our thoughts on 6 main problems and solutions for most elk hunters calling elk - What we feel is the most misunderstood and underused calling strategy - Engaging vs "Snubbing" your target animal - Scenario driven calling and "Painting a Picture" - Elk Calling... A Science or an Art? *Here are just a few of the resources we recommend for you to check out to help you in the Preseason:* (We are not sponsored by any of these.
