Equipment Needed for a Late Season Elk Hunt

The first and most important equipment for a late-season elk hunt is a quality pair of waterproof boots. You don’t want to show up in camp with your new boots still in the cardboard shipping box. You should have your boots broken in and know that you can wear them without getting blisters and without getting your feet wet. You may want to consider bringing a pack boot that has a rubberized sole and bottom,

Cold temperatures typically drive sugar production and turn brassica blends to their most palatable state. Once this happens expect this to be the hottest food source in the area. Brassicas are like candy to whitetails. Different brassicas tend to develop their sugar at different times. Radishes, rape, canola, turnips and kale are all great plantings, and if you have enough ground all should be planted. This way you will have the most attractive planting available

How to Find Elk When They're Not Talking

The real key to finding elk in the late season is being familiar with the travel corridors they use when they come out of the high country and/or when they leave the parks.

Those are the two main reasons that makes scouting over the internet and the telephone

How Late Season Elk Hunting Is Different from Early Season Elk Hunting

In the late season, patience will be your number-one tactic if you're trying to take a herd bull. Often the herd bull will be covered up with cows. If you're bowhunting in the late season, taking a herd bull becomes much more difficult than if you're hunting with a rifle.

Hunting and Taking Late Season Elk with Karl Badger

Mossy Oak Pro Karl Badger lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, and he has been hunting and guiding for elk for 25 years. During the late season for elk, Badger says, “You definitely have to change the camo pattern that you normally wear in early-season elk hunting. I've been wearing Mossy Oak Brush.

Finding Public Land Ducks with Mossy Oak Pro Richie McKnight

On public lands, we don’t get out on the water to hunt until about 9 or 10 a.m. Like most public land hunters, we scout the waterways in our boats to see where the ducks are holding. However, more than likely all the other serious duck hunters have scouted the same waterways and found the same ducks that we’ve located. Most typical duck hunters will get out and set up before daylight and either have
