Caught up with Mike Jenkins of Upfront Outfitters while he was on a Roosevelt Elk Hunt in Oregon. He had a few fascinating pieces of information. We noticed it, especially with the rut and the bugle. Roosevelt Elk. They're stretching their rut out for over a month, even two months. Real sporadic. It's getting to be a tougher and tougher game every year. Are the calls that you use specific to Roosevelt? The elk calls that I use. They're not necessarily specific to a Roosevelt. That sounds are pretty similar, but we can adapt the calls to make them sound similar. The problem is that Roosevelt's aren't extremely vocal a lot of the time. I really think that's a lot to do with pressure. I tell people all the time, Hey, if everybody was trying to kill you, you'd quit talking too. If every time you open your mouth, somebody chased you, pretty soon you wouldn't open your mouth anymore. And I think the animals start figuring that out. We've been watching Elk constantly for the last month and we've only heard maybe one or two bugles total. The area. you're in, you told me there's a very specific area for the Roosevelts. The Rocky Mountain Elk encroach on that same territory. Speaker2: No, we hunt our regular Rocky Mountain in eastern Oregon, and we hunt the Roosevelt Elk, specifically west of Interstate five on the coast of Washington, Oregon. So if you want to. Hunter Roosevelt, Mike Jenkins set up front outfitters.
