Some Musings on Elk Hunting When elk hunting there are a number of events that need to occur in order to assure success. Perhaps the most critical time in your elk hunt is the short time span between spotting a bull and pulling the trigger. How you have prepared for that moment and what you do in those few short seconds or minutes can make the difference between filling your tag or going home empty handed. While Gary focuses
on elk hunting, his musings will be useful to the whitetail and mule deer hunter as well.

South African Blesbucks I was several days into a 10-day hunt in the Groot Winterhook mountains of South Africa's eastern cape. I already had an nyala, duiker, eland, baboon, 3 black wildebeest, 2 blue wildebeest, a black springbok and a mountain reedbuck. Next on my list was a blesbuck pair, one male and one female.
