The Challenge Bugle Is an Aggressive Elk Hunting Tactic

A challenge bugle is one of the most aggressive elk hunting tactics you can exercise in the field. It involves imitating an elk's natural call, but instead of a docile location-oriented call, it's the equivalent of demanding a fight with a bull elk. "Mike just rips the nastiest, most blood-curdling bugle right over the top of him and interrupts and cuts the bull off," he says.
