ElkIQ — Predict the Hunt

Be on the bugle when it fires.

ElkIQ reads the cold front, the thermals, and the rut — and keeps score against what the mountain actually did.

Illustrative in-season conditions — the live read pulls real weather + your ground.

How it reads your ground (peak season)

Peak rut — herd bulls with cows, bugling hard.

  • Where: Mid-elevation timber + parks, wallows, and meadow edges between feed and dark bedding.
  • Play: Bugle/cow-call to locate the herd bull; hunt wallows and timber benches, set up where he can’t pull his cows away.
  • Thermals: Mornings: thermals fall (downslope) — approach from above/downhill of elk. Evenings: thermals rise (upslope) — set up below them.

ElkIQ runs on the same engine as RackIQ — the Proof Ledger, per-property learning, the works. Same brain, tuned for elk.
