After locating your bull, stalk, terrain be damned
Reality is that the elk dictate the terrain. It is a common and often unconscious desire we have as hunters to find the animal we are hunting where we want, in the terrain or place we want to hunt. It is a strong trait among predator and other animal callers but is present across all kinds of hunting.
The question has several levels to it. One approach is to hunt terrain. Another is to hunt elk. (As an aside, where deer are plentiful, a man can hunt terrain with good success. That is far less successful with elk.)
My ideal terrain would be shaded firm lawn grass level where the bull falls and downhill from there a short distance to my freezer.
In every kind of hunting anywhere on earth the better hunters learn to hunt the local animals in the terrain they have to work with, in whatever terrain where he finds the animal he wants to shoot.
I am struggling to express my thought and may add more to this as the thread continues.
