I downloaded the app which is super helpful, but listening to these videos was a major help! After about 10 hours worth of listening through out the week (driving at work) i went out and attempted a version of a breeding sequence. Normally i would call for maybe 5 minutes and walk away, but i kept going, mixing in grunts, bugles, and excited cow calls while raking and stomping the ground. After 35 minutes i thought it was a bust but no sooner had i stood up to talk too my hunting partner about calling it when out pops a bull through the trees. Unfortunately we set up 5 yards in the wrong direction and had the shot blocked by a small mound of dirt, but the adrenaline rush was something else!
Paul you are the man!! I was able to get two encounters with Bulls OTC CO in 2021 because of what I learned from you on here and the app. Everyone I talked to said they hadn't seen or heard any elk on public and I had 5 encounters, 2 bulls over 7 days. A shot only presented with cows but I held out for a bull and ended up with tag soup. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I don't think I've ever been as excited as I am for 2022 SEASON! One bull came to a cold call setup before day break and was within range at first light but never got a clear shot. The other I got as close to a bedding area as i could and did some cow mews (harassed sounding) and 1 chuckle and raking and he came in silent at 1 oclock, I stopped him a 1/2 second to soon and a tree blocked his vitals. But all in all a great success for my first elk hunt. Thank you sir.
So much great information here. Will try to put some of it to use in less then a week. Have had some success calling before but still don’t get most to come in for a shot
what a great video, I have watched more than once, O look forward to putting this info to use, we will be hunting September 15th. Thanks Paul. You are awesome.
Having hunted elk with a bow for close to 40 years, I can relate to Paul’s enthusiasm and knowledge of elk language. Learning the language and saying the right thing at the right time is crucial in wether your going to fill your freezer or not. I was impressed at the end of his seminar of what some hunters call the bark. Not to many hunters including some professional call makers with there own shows on tv use it. I’ve used that call just about every year for the past 20 years. I’ve learned there are 2 different barks. One is a alert bark, and the other is a show me what you are bark. They are similar. Which is exactly what Paul is explaining. I learned this 20 years ago after numerous encounters with elk spooking out in front of me but not smelling me and a few throwing that sound back after a short distance. That year I decided to mimic the sound just to see what would happen. Ended up getting into a 20 minute barking match with a nice 6x6 that circled me to see what I was. He ended up in my freezer. I had discovered the difference between a alert bark and a show me what you are bark. Called many bulls and cows back for myself and other hunters ever sense. So many hunters nowadays just go into the woods thinking just walking around making elk sounds is all you have to do. If your fortunate enough to walk into a hot bull, just about any sound will work, but that is rare on public land with pressure nowadays. Increase your odds by learning the language and take advantage of what many years of knowledge that is being shared from hunters such as Paul and his son. I sum it up hunters every year, if you walk up to someone and start blabbering, they are going to totally get annoyed and walk away. Same goes for elk! Like Will Primos says- Speak the Language!
Paul, I was at this seminar and was excited to see it posted online. I forgot to take notes the first time! Great information here and I'm excited to try a new approach this Fall. There are a few "ah ha!" moments in here, where I think back on what I could've done differently on past hunts. I bought the app and have been enjoying it as well. Thanks for sharing what you've learned over the years!
Excellent info Paul! I've said it before and I'll say it many times in the future; I sure wish I had access to the Elknut philosophy/information when I was cutting my elk hunting teeth in the 70s/80s. It sure would have resulted in many more bull noses hitting the dirt. Keep it up sir and as always, thanks for what you do for elk hunters and elk hunting! RJ
Awesome info Paul! Thank you for sharing this info. Just downloaded the app. As an elk guide for 15 years, I've guided about 60 successful hunts just using cow sounds and several big bulls hunting for myself, but after hearing this talk, Everthing makes more sense. So many situations have frustrated me.This will change the way I guide and hunt from now on. Definate eye opener.
I head to Colorado in a few weeks. Of all the videos I've watched this one was so informative that I bought the app right away! I can't wait to play the game!
Download some podcasts (for free) that he was a guest on. They are great listening (with stories) and give some great situations on how to use all of the info on the app. My favorite series was on The Rich Outdoors, and Trad Quest. I am heading out to Colorado too. Good Luck!
@@nburlingame Thanks for the plug! We also recently launched the ElkNut series on our podcast, Got Game University, which currently has seven episodes of straight ElkNut talking elk!
There is no information for an app in the couple videos I watched...I'll watch them all as they come but this app doesn't come up in any of the videos or I'm just too tech. Challenged and I'm willing to admit I'm Challenged...
I totally disagree about the comment on estrace calling. I know of two wildlife biologists that combined have over 50 years of studying elk and are very successful in writing books and other information. As far as the bark, it is a very useful sound to confuse the elk to your benefit.
lot of knowledge, & learned a lot but desperately in need of more structured speaking. Pretty scatter-brained delivery. 34:42 -- nervous grunt followed by round up (or near-round up/challenge bugle) 1:02:40 -- nervous grunt, identify yourself, I want a visual
I heard a bull barking like a dog real nasuly sound . Heard it over 1000 yards away. Figured it was wolvsuntil I closed the distance. Was only 6x5 under 300 inch . Almost had em u TIL he tryd windin me. I put myself in too thick of a spot. Learnin the area is key. I spot and stalk mostly as I’m scared shitless from calling anymore. Too many grizzlies out there ruining a persons favourite place.
Judging by all the hunters I've been bugling in, I think this app is worth its weight in gold. I must sound realistic if hunters are coming to me. I also bugled in a bull. Whats 5, 10, 15, or even 100 dollars if it helps you put hundreds of pounds of meat in the freezer? I HIGHLY recommend this app!!
This man is on another level...Ive watched all the stuff on YT and beyond. This man is by far the best on here....

Well if nothing else you have made me envious of your hunting life lol Great info thank you so much for sharing!

Paul, have your app and watch your videos. Huge fan and really appreciate you as an educator of elk behavior and elk hunting! Fantastic resource!
Smartest . Sharpest guy out there. Would do anything to go on a hunt with this guy
Thanks so much for the videos.
what a great video, I have watched more than once, O look forward to putting this info to use, we will be hunting September 15th. Thanks Paul. You are awesome.
Great video. I am new to this and i am so excited to learn how to make this work. So much knowledge he is delivering.

Thanks for the great feedback, Bill. Not much compares to hunting elk in September. Keep us posted on how your season goes this year!
Excellent Video!
Hi Paul, what is your take on scents and decoys when calling?

Sure appreciate the great feedback! Paul truly is the man when it comes to elk hunting public land!
I feel like a damn idiot now lol! Thanks for sharing all that you know! This year I will finally put a bull down!

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'll definitely check out the app and your DVDs.
Thank you, Bob!
Thanks bud, I appreciate you checking out the video!
Very useful information!!! It’s my second year hunting in Arizona. No elk on the ground yet
is this system as effective in the rain? hard rain?
Hat app does he have
I wish they fed the elk around here in the winter.
What app is he talking about
The ElkNut mobile app
What’s the app called?
corey rosler it’s called “ElkNut” 👍

I would be be interested to know those biologists names or maybe some links to their studies/books that touch on the topic!
@@crax7936 LMAO That's what I thought Ron Reyes is not responding to you. He does not know of 2 Biologist LOL.

App is a bs...hopefully get my money back...............says 4.99 but you buy then says $15
Send an email to tayler@gotgametech.com and he’ll get you taken care of. 👍
