Elk Hunting in Alberta and British Columbia: ProXpedition Attractant Guide

Hunting Elk in Western Canada with ProXpédition

Elk in Alberta and British Columbia are among the most impressive animals in North America. Hunting them takes different preparation than moose or whitetail — but the basic principles of attractants stay the same.

Understanding Elk Behavior

The Early Rut

Unlike moose and whitetail, which rut in the fall, elk are in the rut from late August to mid-October. That's earlier than most hunters think. Your attractants need to be in place by early August for the first weeks of the rut.

Recommended Attractants

ProXpédition's THE BEAST is formulated to draw several species, including elk. Use it together with minerals to build an attractive site. Elk are naturally drawn to mineral sources, especially during antler growth (May to July).

Calls and Decoys

Elk bugling is one of the most effective tools during the rut. Combine your calls with your scent attractants for a complete strategy. See all products
