While being largely adventurous and exciting in nature, it also poses a lot of challenge and threat to the hunter's ability to survive in different weather conditions as well as courage to face and overcome encounters with fierce game. If you are on an elk hunt, you will be hunting under some fairly strenuous situations, and you want to be sure that whenever you sight your prey, you will not be so exhausted that you can't sight your rifle. Elk hunting is not a sport for those who are not physically in shape, and if you have an interest in hunting game this large, you should be aware of the need for fitness and working towards this goal well in advance of your hunt.
Sneaking up on a buck is a real feat, but if you know a few tricks, it can be done. They are naturally accustomed to hearing two kinds of sounds, natural and unnatural. Records show that only a portion of most sightings is killed.
The lights you can use can come in many different forms. The last point of discussion the beginner hunter must remember is to have as much field practice as possible, grabbing every occasion he meets to go on a hunt. Deer also have the home field advantage.
Luck has helped some over time but by and large the hunters who take the big ones year after year know things you do not. If you are committed to taking the big one, do not take the first buck you see unless it meets your goal!
