Cow Elk Bugling, "Estrous" Screams, and More!

This is a short clip of the video that Roe Hunting Resources recorded in the summer of 2016 of a cow elk Bugling, doing what some folks call "Estrous" mews/screams, Lost mews, Frustrated Whines, and more! Chris Roe of www.RoeHuntingResources.com and Jay Scott of www.JayScottOutdoors.com talked about the slightly longer version of this video in Jay Scott Outdoors Podcast Episode #177 and #178. Check out the links in this video to learn more about Cow Elk Vocalizations and Communication.

didn't know a cow could bugle. that was cool.

[@themightyarticuno98]

The amazing thing is I know how to make the bugules with my voice box

[@SDreamsProductions19]

When cows are in estrus they do. And that one is really really wanted a bull... Lol

[@amberm34]

@@themightyarticuno98 I would love to hear that lol

[@smasheddragon]

Man, it's like last call in the bar... and not one holla back

[@chloeleemohawk]

My boyfriend said I sound like an female elk when I do my silly give me attention sounds... so I listened. I found out today I am an elk.

[@geministrial950]

Same

[@RoeHuntingResources]

LOL!!!!!!!

[@twoserpents2457]

Women sound like Elk, Snow Leopards, Bobcats or Vixen. [when I say vixen, i'm not referring to the vixen's scream, I'm referring to Vixen (female foxes) and the noises they make.] All women are one of those or a mix of them... this is why a common joke among hunters is "Lmao, that thing sounds like my wife." and the guys lmao at it... because if you listen closely, you can hear a woman.

Pretty cool footage and vocalizations. You have a lot of really helpful info available to us that is different from all the rest. I can appreciate the more "theory based" side to calling by knowing what you are saying to the elk and how and when to say it. Rather than just perfecting the sound and blasting away, one can choose to speak their lingo the right way and surely be more successful in calling in elk. Thanks for the insight and all your content Chris.

[@R0yalKai0]

So glad Way of the Hunter captured some of these calls.

[@barionix567]

Female Elks Bugles: Screams of a old lady. Male Elk Bugles: The stuff of nightmares.

[@garfoonga1]

Its the opposite. Male bugle is easily identifiable.

[@takingu2skoo]

wow thats crazy i never actually seen a cow elk making noise

[@kenhardee7045]

very nice segment

[@RoeHuntingResources]

Just posted another - different - video to The Gallery in the Roe Hunting Resources Elk Module that is a full 45-minutes of every cow/calf vocalization you could ever hope to hear and practice to! ...check out the "Alpine Cow/Calf Herd Talk" video! Good luck this season!

[@jasonrigsby7667]

Heard that plenty the last two days hunting!! One bowl I was in was just nuts! Between the bugling, cow and calf calls, and the estrus calls. ..never heard anything like it before chasin elk in my life!! Over 7 bulls in this drainage just screamin...

[@Arschiffer3009]

That was bootiful

[@laswan5]

Wow great sounds.

[@truthseeker5890]

Filmed in July... first guess, without any additional information... lost calf. Her nose is working hard. Sounds like this is near a roadway; can see shadows of what appear to be vehicles. This could be a situation in which her calf was hit by a vehicle. Lost calf or she lost the herd.

[@amberm34]

I used this video to call a bull to 15ft this weekend I seriously did not think it would work but when I heard the cows doing this I figured I would give it a try since I am not that good in calling yet.

[@heron123100]

Just don’t get caught by the game warden if you are in Colorado using electronic audio to call will end you up with a big fine! Good tactic I would have done the same tho

[@arthurmorgan9618]

Amazing

[@Thestraycat6]

Oh my god its Arthur Morgan

I had a feeling that this much calling wouldn't draw anything in or bring a response. Was there anything we couldn't hear? We're there other elk in the area? This makes me feel a little better when they don't respond. My calls sound pretty damn close to this too

[@RoeHuntingResources]

Listen to the Podcast for the full scenario, or jump onto the Elk Module at www.RoeHuntingResources.com to hear NUMEROUS discussions on this vocalization, and why it has nothing to do with Estrous. ...this was filmed in July, btw.

[@cravinbob]

I lived where a herd did (about 100 head) and watched them while I used calls. Bulls did not care to investigate bugles and seemed perhaps they were risking their harem and kept their distance. A simple cow 'mew' brought cows in the where they passed by me on both sides at one time, then maybe last to appear was as usual the bull. The bulls are the same as the big mule deer bucks...they wait for everyone else to go ahead, cows, rag horn bulls and spikes before they came out into the open. Bulls are super wary and most footage I have watched I must assume was taken in national parks or private land refuges. Guys with money pay thousands to hunt private land with a guide. Half the licenses here in Colorado are drawn by out of state hunters. Total BS for us residents who cannot hunt every year because most elk tags and all deer tags are limited to drawings... unless you go 'late season' - after dark. You can pick up road kill though which is about 7000 mule deer a year. If a semi hit it - forget it. As for hit by a sedan they used to say "steak on the grill". Opening morning near Gunnison the Texans as we called them woke up a herd and the rifle fire lasted about two minutes. Imagine in your mind two minutes of that! I didn't even bother to hike up as it is steep country and I didn't know what trail to drive on so went on about my lame hunt!

[@Jimmylongs6982]

i use this call when I'm at home on the porch at 10 pm enjoying beers. It calls the cows in first and they start mewing . When there's enough of a racket around my land the big bulls start coming in . I only have to play this for maybe a hour .

[@Melakor38]

This reminds me of WolfQuest 1.2

[@ajaytheanimator6540]

Huh so is this what a female wendigo sounds like?

[@xroxettex2263]

No .female Wendigo's make the same sounds as male elks.

[@WickedEditz.]

Those calls are kinda cute ngl

[@earmjames6908]

Wow

[@watchensee]

Wow I didn't know that cow elk could actually bugle. Where are the bulls if she's in estrus why aren't any of them picking up on her pheromones?

[@davidkuznetsov9316]

Didnt know cows bugled very cool sounded like she might have been coming off a little to desperate the boys are like ya im good.

[@davidkuznetsov9316]

sigh

[@WAVE_ROCKER]

That sound like 5yo me looking for my mom when we were home and I thought she was kidnapped 😂but the vid was cool

[@pinonpuppy7363]

I just called in a huge bull with this holding it in the window.

[@RoeHuntingResources]

Nice! Congrats!

[@u2yes1dnoedcpsabrinakittyb2]

This elk is saying: Where my boys at?!

[@xroxettex2263]

NO." where my BABES at"

[@lateblossom]

Am I the only one who was reminded of whales listening to this?

[@giovanna8187]

Good ears!

[@borninthewrongtime6449]

I know nothing about Elk or hunting but this animal sounds like it is in distress and looking for it's herd or Mom or something???

[@NebulaRanger]

She's horny. This is what they do when they want to have sex.

[@pers4855]

Not as majestic as the males but still beautiful

[@cory8791]

Sounds like my wife!!!!

[@j2o7e]

Can you take off all the damn adds on the video & let us watch it in peace?

[@LukaTisus]

Ever heard of Adblock?

[@Thestraycat6]

Lol

[@charesedazen8200]

it's fake cow elk don't bugle

[@RoeHuntingResources]

LOL! You just watched her do it! ...put on HD, and then watch her chest/rib-cage/diaphragm closely - you'll see her pushing the air out while she's vocalizing. Nothing fake about anything RHR shares. But thanks for watching!

[@lineman2323]

Charese Dazen you don't know much about elk do you? Haha!!!!

[@williammawk1720]

Yes, cow elk do bugle. But it is now as loud or as blown out as a bull it's typically a shorter lower volume. I have also watched and heard calf chirping and they sounded like a bird.

[@WCGwkf]

Idiot
