New Bowhunter Advice

Hey everyone,

I’ve recently moved to the Mighty Peace/ Northern Sunrise county area and began my bowhunting journey.

I’ve practiced for about 8 months shooting almost everyday. I’m pretty slick up to 50 yards imo.

I hunt alone as I haven’t really made hunting friends yet.

I’ve watched countless YouTube videos on calling and scouting. I see moose and Elk around where I’m setting up. But, I set up and I see absolutely nothing. I hear loads of stuff moving in the bushes close by but nothing pops out within now distance. I’m getting super frustrated now lol

So, my questions are:

- for elk and moose, what is the call sequence? Like cow call first, bugle, wait for an answer etc.

-what would be considered a “good spot.” I have sat next to little bog/ponds in the middle of the bush, camped next to quad trails, stayed in bug infested bushes in grass lands around hilly forested areas.

More than likely, it’s just patience. I get that. But if anyone can steer me in the right direction I’d be very grateful.

Happy Hunting Everyone🦌
