 White Oak Exotic Hunting Preserve offers to the serious Elk hunter the chance to hunt Rocky Mountain Elk – without the low hunting success rates and lengthy time constraints usually associated with the western hunts. We offer Elk hunts with Bow, Handgun, Muzzleloader & Rifle. You must be very proficient with your Hunting method.
We are having a great summer for growing antlers. I feel the Bulls will live up to their potential. Last year the biggest Bull that shed his antlers was a 7x9. We have many 6x8’s & 7x7’s. Look at the pictures. We will certainly see more growth, and as you can see some are already HUGE!
When Elk Hunting with firearms here at White Oak, we usually spot & stock in the low country around the lakes and swamps. The bulls will usually have wallows and be bugling. This ground is tough for Bow Hunters to move without getting detected. For the Bow Hunters, we usually hunt timbered ridges and benches. We look for funnel areas and place ladder stands in those areas.
Current weather and Elk activity usually dictate the best hunting method each day. All Hunters need good camo and be scent free. A Rut Hunt (Sept-Oct) can produce some RANK, aggressive bulls. We must use EXTREME CAUTION when stalking on the ground at that time. Sometimes we will not even bugle. We have brought in bulls that way before, and it got way too dangerous. They usually come in muddy and wet from wallowing. Blood shot eyes, stiff legged and ready to kill that intruder in there area. And if that isn’t bad enough, when 2 or 3 bulls arrive at the same time, you find yourself in the middle of a spectacular fight that will scare the daylights out of you if you do not have a good exit plan available.
Bugling is good out west with low animal population – here at White Oak, bugling can be dangerous. I remember one early morning in November. We were Whitetail hunting. My client and I got hidden in a brush pile and I started rattling. Immediately, the bucks appeared. Within 2 minutes, we saw 7 bucks. My client was going crazy because I wouldn’t let him shoot 2 different 10 pointers that were in our lap. We held out and in another minute or two, a big heavy non-typical came sneaking through to see who was in his area. My client dropped him in his tracks.
To try to summarize, or as they say “the moral of the story is”; when you hunt areas that have a high percentage of big, dominate animals, it is not always a good idea to pretend to be a trespasser. Adversely, many of those bucks and bulls come in like a fire breathing dragon!
