Moose Bellows & Trash Wind | Almost on the Herd Bull
Almost Doesn’t Count | Moose Bellows & The Wind
Three days. Three completely different encounters. And one heck of a reminder that almost doesn’t count.
Day 1: The search finally pays off. The first bugle gives me a starting point, and I work to locate the herd. Cows start chirping, the herd begins closing the distance, and the bull comes in—raking less than 60 yards away. The problem? I never get eyes on him. The terrain is unforgiving, and just when things are coming together, the wind shifts and blows the bull out.
Day 2: We run into a bellowing cow with a bull on her. Instead of trying to force the situation, I play the bull. Then, from the same bush, another elk screams out in anger. Things get chaotic fast. And just as quickly as they showed up, the moose disappear without warning.
Day 3: We find the bull and cow together in the same bush and make a play. The bull pushes off with the cow, leaving us scrambling to figure out our next move. The rest of the day turns into a desperate grind—covering ground, chasing sounds, and trying to make something happen… with one hell of a bush nap thrown into the mix.
Three days of bugles, bellows, wind, frustration, and close calls.
And with the weekend hunt coming up, desperation is starting to set in.
The story isn’t over yet.

Mission: Desperation Elk | HAMMER Bull Moose
Elk season has officially turned into a grind.
We’ve travelled kilometres on kilometres, covering new country and searching for fresh sign, only to find very little. Minimal activity, quiet woods, and finding a bull that will actually talk has been a challenge. And from what we’re hearing, it’s not just us — 2026 has been a tough elk season across Alberta.
But the season just took a turn.
We’re officially entering a 5-year Alberta bull moose draw, and it nearly ended before it really got started. Brandon had an encounter with an absolute HAMMER bull moose that came incredibly close to ending with a punched tag.
Desperation Elk + Alberta Draw Moose. The elk grind continues, but now there’s another tag on the line.

Elk Hunting SUCKS | Sept 13th Update
Sometimes elk hunting just sucks.
We walked a ton, explored new country, called a lot, and covered as much ground as we could. We found areas that looked right and some good sign—but nothing fresh and not a sound from an elk.
One thing that has changed: human presence is way up. More pressure, more people in the areas we’ve been hunting, and the elk we were into earlier seem to be gone.
That’s elk hunting. You can do everything you think you’re supposed to do and still come home wondering where the heck they went.
The biggest takeaway: don’t give up. Keep walking. Keep exploring. Keep calling. Keep looking for that next “hell hole” where nobody else wants to go & the elk are safe. Giving an area rest isn’t a bad thing despite your mind telling you it’s unproductive.
They’re somewhere. We just have to find them.
