Title: Arizona Elk Hunting with Steve Chappell 11.34
Show Notes:
These guys who are getting it done year in and year out can really help you build yourself into a better elk hunter. That’s why I wanted to talk with Steve Chappell from Elk Camp and Chappel Guide Service. Steve started as a guide back in the ‘90s in Arizona, and this family legacy has shaped his excitement for elk early on.
Herd bulls are all about jealously guarding their cows, so Steve has to trigger a response carefully from them. He says that herd bulls are more vulnerable than you think, so he prefers to use a display bugle. This sounds like a high, sweet note that then gets dumped down into that lip ball sound. When you put all of these sounds together, you’re going to get an aggressive bull coming right at you.
Modern hunting can help you find and track better than ever. When Steve is out tracking, he likes to use all of the resources available to him:
It’s definitely to your benefit to read the situation so that you can be what you need to be on the hunt. I’ve hunted with guys who are more aggressive, and wow, the difference was amazing. We talk about the difference between being more aggressive and stalking quietly. Because he’s based in Arizona, Steve gives some Arizona specific advice around the full moon and the best rut days in the state.
I can’t encourage you guys enough; like us, give us a review, and share us with your friends. Help us continue to bring you hunting stories that prepare you for the different scenarios that you’re going to encounter out there.
