Quick Answer
For effective cow calling elk, each mew sequence should be 5-7 seconds long, allowing the elk to process the sound and respond accordingly. This duration also provides time for the elk to close in before the next sequence. A slower pace is often more effective.
Establishing the Mew Sequence Length
When it comes to cow calling elk, the timing of each mew sequence is crucial. A mew sequence is a series of 2-5 cow calls, with 5-7 seconds of silence in between each sequence. Research suggests that elk are more likely to respond to a slower pace, so a sequence length of 5-7 seconds is often the most effective.
Applying the Mew Sequence Length
To apply this technique, start by making 2-3 cow calls, pausing for 5-7 seconds before repeating the sequence. This allows the elk to process the sound and respond accordingly. For example, if you make two cow calls, pause for 5 seconds, and then make two more cow calls, you’ve completed one mew sequence. Repeat this process 2-3 times, pausing for 10-15 seconds between each sequence.
