Setting Up for Elk Hunting Success - In the Zone (Episode 3)

Welcome to "In the Zone", the new video series from Elk101, presented by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation! In this series, Corey Jacobsen breaks down real elk calling scenarios, and details what tactics and strategies were used - as well as what could have been used - to maximize elk calling success.
In this Episode (Episode 3), Corey revisits an amazing morning of elk action in Idaho during the filming of the Destination Elk video series. After climbing nearly 2000 vertical feet with Corey and Donnie, hunt winner Tommy Davis was worn out. But he pushed himself to make it up the mountain to the bedding area, and the guys arrived just as the elk were settling in for the day. With two bulls answering the calls, Tommy and Donnie moved ahead to set up, hoping one of the bulls would come down the hill and into their shooting lane.
If you've ever wanted a play-by-play breakdown of actual elk calling setups to help you become a more successful elk caller, "In the Zone" by Elk101.com is the series you've been waiting for!

I appreciate you guys showing hunts that aren't always successful. Can often learn more from those. Great job guys. Looking forward to episode 4.

[@brianmasters8426]

😂😊

[@randylarkin7022]

After watching most of your shows I think you probably got seen and he smelt you with the thermals I have learned watching your shows video love it

[@immanuelsalas603]

These are the most effective and educational videos out there. Just awesome. Please keep them coming out! Thank you for all your efforts Team Elk101.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

a fan of how this series is designed and laid out. The graphics mixed with voice over and real video help illustrate the point. One of these days hopefully soon my brother and I will be among these big beautiful beasts with out archery set ups and they are bugling. As you have said and shown, small adjustments in set up can pay big dividends. My Army bro and I are thinking really hard about an OTC rifle hunt for mule deer in Idaho, if we have the $$$ maybe he will pick up a cow elk tag to potentially fill the freezer. I told him a $35 wolf tag would be worth it just in case, even though we know it will be tough to see them and we are not targeting them specifically.

I remember this episode like it was yesterday I was on the edge of my seat Yellen get your bow ready Tommy you could tell that bull was just over that little rise and he was standing there with his bow down by his knees I absolutely positively could not believe what I was watching I could only dream of being in that position awesome explanation of the events and demonstration of the points of the do's and do knots thank you

[@w.w.oklahoma6010]

What a eye opening experience for Tommy. He knows now where he's at in this point of life, and with some daily workout he'll be back for more. Ever so close!!! w.w.

[@bushcraftidaho3593]

Hey guys, thanks for the great videos. I was wondering if you could give us solo hunters some tips for calling and setup when hunting solo. Once again,, thanks for the great tips and videos!

[@JerminPhoto]

lots of great info as always. this is a great series and I hope you keep it coming!

[@masstrapper7645]

Love this new format. Like the information and the realism of public hunting in the west.keep up the great work 👍👍

[@scottandstacyalsworth379]

Awesome series ! Helping me prepare for a 2020 hunt, priceless information.. thanks so much

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Hunting elk with bow is the hardest hunting and Corey is the best in the game I myself could never get good at calling so I stick to gun hunting now only but love these videos 👍🏻

[@johnpatteson8271]

I love these vids! Great info! Thanks and keep them coming. I am starting my preying get in shape workout. I may not get an elk but I will be ready to go where they are.

[@TimZarra]

Good advice right here, I've definitely made this mistake before. Don't hide yourself over a better potential shot when you can!

[@tybot1980]

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@tfrost33elkhunter]

[@wadezuver5637]

Good hunt and always lots of learning opportunities, that was nice of you and Donnie to try and get Tommy on that bull it was so close.

[@badlyg1]

Hard to watch three months before the season starts.

[@danandresen573]

I love these videos and insight, great job guys.

[@bullyrutbowhunter6404]

Awesome video keep em coming

[@ericwiitala5407]

I'll be bringing decoys this year and hunt mostly solo. It's been hot and early September will probably be hot also mid days. Got a bunch of wallows/springs and water holes on my OnX. Hoping a couple decoys, an appropriately placed decoy, some quality "Elk Talk" and water will do the trick.🦌😊

[@timberg7377]

Good stuff brother

[@clarkansas6590]

More outstanding instruction

[@miktub1555]

So cool.

[@SDreamsProductions19]

Are you going to do more of the in the zone series? I love content like this.

[@g-man2228]

Tommy was a bit overwhelmed....Close though, so close!

[@mikewilmoth7292]

Like the graphics

[@danelobe2524]

It amazes me how these rookie hunters stand out in the open and expect to kill an elk. Get brush between you and your animal, they see everything that moves. Even through 100 yards of brush they can spot movement, there lives depend on it. If thee calf wouldn't have seen you, she would have pulled the bull to your zone, instead she ran to him and took him around you.

How do know when the wind is going to change and in what direction?

[@idaho4allguns836]

Cory is an expert no doubt. And he doesn't use those fancy scent killing sprays. Wind baby...always wind!! The area you are hunting should have thermals and depending on the rising sun warming up the valley below will set when those thermals begin.

[@FlyingSpaghettoMonster]

Thermals go down at night and up during the late morning and late afternoon. They switch direction in the am when the sun begins to warm the valley floor and switch again in the evening when the valley floor begins to shade off. Some parts of the hill side switch early or later depending on how much of the lower elevations get sun exposure and when that sun exposure happens. It's very dependant on you local topography in the area your standing

[@jakelee4372]

How do you know they are in their bedding area?

[@axghostsx68xwolf72]

Hi

[@teamhippiefish]

Hard to watch... The guy wasn't ready...
