Elk calling seminar?

[xxclaro]

I decided last year that it was time to get better at calling elk, and that if seminars were available I was going to attend. So, does anyone know of any calling seminars put on by someone who knows what they're doing? Edmonton area hopefully but will travel further if necessary

Elk shape puts on virtual seminars. Elknut, Cory Jacobson etc all have seminars on You Tube. If you sign up for the elk shape one its done over skype and they have limited participants.

Elk bros pod cast is another great learning tool. They also have a course...

That sounds like it might be worthwhile, thanks.

Get the elk nut app. Great resource. With youtube and that app you might find theres no need to attend an in person seminar. Elk bros pod cast is also a good resource for while commuting. There was an older podcast called Got Game iirc. That had Paul Medel as a guest a bunch of times. Keep your reeds in your car and practice all the way to and from work while listening to these guys talk about strategy and sounds.. your calling will improve greatly!

You guys really think that how good of a caller you are makes a difference? Or that those guys can actually translate and tell you what every different sound an elk makes is? If so I got a bridge for sale.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.....how successful are you at calling and killing elk every year?

I've always claimed a car horn used appropriately would work, coming from the guy who called elk with a piece of plastic electrical tubing.

I second the elk nut app. Save your money and listen to YouTube and podcasts and stream the elk nut tutorials and practice practice practice. It’s a long game. I’ve been practicing for 3 seasons and just finally starting to be able to do make some vocalization’s that would cause me to inhale the reed and choke when I first started. I was a little flabbergasted learning the calls and their meanings. To be honest a little skeptical but after spending three hunting seasons diving into elk hunting head first i am a believer after hearing the sounds in the forest. I have heard them use the different calls in action and gone from blowing opportunities with the wrong calls to salvaging blown opportunities by telling the elk what they wanted to hear to come back in for a second look.

Turns out it’s not magic they actually have a language and social hierarchy.

I also agree that on the right day a hunter can do no wrong and the elk can be “suicidal” but more often than not the opposite can be true and they make no noise so knowing what to say and in what scenario can save your limited opportunities during those tough days.

Buy your wife a nice present because you’re gonna annoy the hell out of her diving into this!
