0:00.0	Okay friends, this is the next part of an earlier podcast.
0:03.6	If you missed the first part, go check your Gritty Bowman library for the earlier part.
0:08.1	What are the elk doing? Are they feeding? Are they heading the bed? Are they, you know,
0:12.8	displaying a ton of running activity? I try to like figure, what are these elk doing?
0:17.0	If I don't bother these elk for the next hour or two hours, what's their game plan? Are they feeding
0:21.7	across the slope into a patch of timber that I can see over here that's got bedding? Are they
0:26.0	coming out from bedding, defeating? And so I ask myself that question really quick before I
0:31.2	start an approach or try to find landmarks or do anything because that's going to affect
0:35.4	what I'm going to do in kind of my strategy. One of the most important steps is to calling
0:42.4	enable, if calling enable is your goal, is getting set up in the right spot that's going to take the
0:48.0	least amount of effort to get that bowl with him bow range. So as I've glassed or located a bowl,
0:54.0	whether he's answered me, whether I've, you know, saw him with my binoculars, I'm trying to make a
0:58.8	game plan on where I need to set up. Do I need to be in front of these elk? If it's going to take me
1:04.6	an hour to, you know, drop through this canyon and get back up, where are they going to be in an hour?
1:09.1	If it's going to take me 10 minutes, where do I need to be? And then I'm trying to pick landmarks
1:13.4	out before I take off. So I'm doing all this in about 10 or 15 seconds because I don't got a
1:17.9	whole lot of patience and I'm usually gone before, you know, we can think about it for two long.
1:22.6	So once I spot a bowl, I'm trying to do all this or hear it. I try to make the best judge, if I hear a
1:28.9	bowl, I'm trying to pinpoint his location within 100 or 200 yards from where I heard it and not
1:34.3	calling anymore. So he kind of, he kind of stays where he's at. We do use a lot of GPS. If I can't
1:40.0	see the terrain I want in or if it's too steep, a lot of times I'll look at my GPS and say, well,
1:44.4	we've got kind of a bowl, we've got a flat down here, chances are he's down there and then I won't
