As an elk hunter I believe it is so important to try and learn from each elk encounter. Every time I see an elk I go through a long list of questions starting with, Why was that elk there? Then analyze everything from there. So to keep this short i'll start...
I came away with from my elk hunting season with to major problems that I need to fix. First when I'm closing the distance on a bull in the timber, particularly a large bull, i get tunnel vision and I lose track of all the other elk in the area. This cost me opportunities on to big bulls last season. My next problem that I need to address is when I'm stopping an elk with that stupid little noise that everybody on tv makes (it works though) I need to not rush my shot after making that noise. I missed the bull that I ended up getting the first shot because I rushed my shot. Looking back i messed up on other opportunities due to the same problem.
