They dont vocalise to each nearly as much as elk cows, although I have often wondered about buying a cow elk caller thing from the states and trying it.
Both hinds and stags will bark as a warning - which usually means, I don't know what you are - identify yourself. This most often occurs at close range in thick bush. I have also heard them calling for lost fawns.
I thought if I have a cow elk caller the time to use it is when you get barked at in thick bush.
I have tried bleating like a goat, and that sort of works, They don't come in, but they will tend to circle round you trying to cross your wind.
I will try it one day yet. It also may be of use use during the roar to use on a stag who is not 'coming in' to roaring.
Yes, you have reminded me of my musings on this subject. I will try it. Who sells elk cow caller things over the interweb? Cabelas or somewhere?
