Yep we got a 4x4 elk down and have called in a bunch of other already !!

We are using the Wapiti River Outdoors reeds and bugle tubes and they are working perfect. They are very easy to get nice sounds with. The Pink Lady cow call is unbelievable !! Probably the best elk call on the market !!

356 highway 40 south of GP. Hunting over a wallow and cow calling. The bulls come in quiet this time of year so just wait for them to show to the calls !

You can buy the Wapiti calls in any hunting store in GP. Big Timber,Barton's and Prime time.

They also have pay pal on there website. Wapitiriveroutdoors.com

Default Bulls

I was out for the first week of season with my buddy... the bulls are slowly starting to get fired up. We had a few coming in bugling, but a bunch are still coming in silent. It's not far away. I shot this guy on Aug 29... came in silent to bugling. Shot him at 5steps!
