I have never hunted elk but I have talked to them walked with the took their portraits and during the rut enraged them. I dream of the day when I draw a tag and finally get to hunt them. Until that day I will continue to talk, walk and take their pictures every fall and spring. I have called a 7x7 to within 5 yards while I was hiding behind a multiflora rose bush shaking like a leaf. I never felt so alive as I did at that moment. My wife told me I scared the crap out of her. I said you? I could literally see blood in his eye. I get excited every time I think of that encounter.
