The Bump and Charge Calling Tactic – “Reaching Your Peak” Episode 8

In this Episode of the "Reaching Your Peak" mini-series, (Episode #8), we have another story/lesson from Corey Jacobsen.

This time, Randy joins Corey, and is able to press Corey to share more details from the hunt, as well as the tactic that brought the bulls close to Corey. And the tactic they discuss in this episode is one that evolved from an “almost” botched hunt that took place nearly 25 years ago.

Unsure what was going on, the bull that was lagging behind that herd bugled to his cows, and Corey learned a valuable lesson about a herd bull and his scattering cows…

“Reaching Your Peak” will be published every other week, to fill in the gap between regular ElkTalk Podcast episodes, from now until the first part of October. In this new mini-series, Corey will be sharing stories from his past elk hunts, and then detailing a strategy or tactic that was instrumental in the success of that hunt.
