Anybody been hearing any Elk talk yet? Seen any bachelores?

Postby Elktracker » 06 10, 2012 •  [Post 1]

I know they talk year around but just wondering if anyone has heard any of them bulls locating each other to group up or any other activity? I was out working this morning and saw 4 bulls all in velvet grouped up. And about two weeks ago saw a least 2 bulls in velvet grouped up and there was another Elk with them but couldnt put horns on him.

What you seeing and hearing if anything?

Josh, that's very cool!! I have a hankering to get out there for sure but still waiting for the snows to recede here so I can get out & do some scouting! Need to get out & build a make-shift ground blind for my grandson & I, got this good spot, I hope!!!!

Went bear hunting with a buddy and pushed out 50+ head of elk. Nice solid velvet beams on one bull. A few chirps and one social mew but no other talk.

I have pics of 3 bulls together and a few loners. One has about 3 times the horn growth of the others. Heading back up in a couple weeks to check the cameras again to see how they are doing.

Over Memorial week-end here in WI I was part of a group that was tracking, catching, and radio collaring new born calves. Seen a few bulls and cows, and got some calves collared, was a fun week-end. Didn't here any vocalizations however.
