4 Tips for Hunting Bachelor Bull Elk

Here are four tips for hunting big bachelor bulls after the rut from finding where they are, to taking up their track and making a final approach.

Here-and-There Elk

Blind Side’s Diamond Cut wad stays with the pellets longer, providing denser patterns that are responsive to choke.
