I'm going out for "bad elk" (elk that have stayed past their normal winter range time) out in 4B north. It's also a cow hunt, limited opportunity. Very familiar with the territory, but no luck in the past.
I've been on this hunt in August several years ago; never heard a peep out of them. They cows still seemed to be in decent herds (a dozen or more). There was an occasional separation caused by a cow with a calf that did not keep up so well, though.
I'd do a good pre-season scouting and pick your spot well. I don't see (or hear) anybody calling them during this time period.
