When hunting for elk it is important to be invisible to the elk. The classic art of invisibility has long been used by hunters and there can be no denying the effectiveness of using objects such as trees and bushes for cover. Camouflage clothing can also be an effective hiding technique for the hunter. It is not only important for your camouflage clothing to help hide you from the eye of the elk, but your camouflage should also be able to breathe and let you be comfortable enough while waiting for the kill. Invisibility also includes being undetected by the elk sense of smell. There are specially made unscented body soaps and shampoos for the likes of a hunter. There is also a special unscented deodorant as well as a clothing soap. There are also scent eliminators available on the market that can be applied to clothes and boots to help cover your scent.
Elk calls can be very effective when trying to attract elk to your set-up position. the use of elk salt can also be effective for getting the elk's attention. Elk are big creatures and can cover great amounts of distance in short periods of time so be cautious and as alert as you would expect the elk to be.
