Amazing
I got drawn for the elk lottery this year and didn’t know anything about elk. Never even seen one in real life. Thanks to this app I was able to work this bull in. It took almost 2 hours of intense calling and without this app I wouldn’t have known what he was trying to say, how to respond to get a reaction out of him, how my response is supposed to sound. All this. This app helped a rookie solo elk hunter but a tag on the antler of the first elk to be harvested in Minnesota with a crossbow. After almost 2 hours I was able to call him in to 25 yards before I took the shot. Highly reccomend.
Subscription is BS
This app was originally advertised as a 1 time fee. $10 to get the app and all updates would be free no subscription necessary. Now they’ve completely backed out on that and made it subscription only to access features that used to be free. That’s total BS. Now I’ve lost a significant amount of the information I used to have access to, unless I want to pay $15/year. Come on guys, do better
How to switch to subscription
I love this app but I am unaware on how to switch to the subscription. Every place I can find it including in the app will not allow me to. Any help would be appreciated
I love the elk nut but
For years they have not addressed the offline download issues I download all the data pre season and I get out to the wilderness and it doesn’t freakin work. I even refresh all data which is an option they have and put it on airplane mode. Doesn’t work.
Excellent elk calling info but run like a side hustle not a professional app
Have had this for a couple years now. The content is great - I find it educational. The code needs some improvement, especially related to downloading content for use offline. The downloaded content no longer works offline. When I emailed for help, I got a half-hearted response that did not resolve the issue and then crickets. Given how much time I spend out of service in prep for and during season, not being able to access the content diminishes the app’s value.
Thanks for listening!!!
Paul you came through!!!!… you made the app even better. Thanks for listening to the community and making the old still available. You’ve now created a way to entice those that Matt have not wanted a subscription with new bells and whistles!
Liar
When I subscribed Paul said it would be a set price for life, now he wants more money on his ElkNut app.
Wish it still offered looping playback
As a solo archery hunter, I’m looking for any tool I can gain an edge with. This app used to have looping call playback. This feature along with a foldable decoy and a Bluetooth speaker, we’re a game changer as a solo hunter looking for a killer setup. Please bring it back!
Change to subscription right after purchase and right in the middle of the season??!
Bought for $10.00 and downloaded a few weeks ago for this archery elk season (September 2022). I go to use it at camp on a hunt and I discover it's changed to a subscription model and won't work without signing up. Ok... The app gives me an option to get a free year of the subscription, since I already recently bought it. Great! Except you have to fill out a form and email them, and they are supposed to get back to you. Ok... Did it... WEEKS AGO! No reply since. Archery season came and went. Still no reply. That's absolutely terrible timing on your part, changing to a subscription model right in the middle of the season. So it didn't come in handy for the season. I still can't use it. And IF I ever do get that free year, it will have expired by next season anyway. Paul's videos online are second-to-none. But changing the app payment structure during the season and not getting back to people who just bought it? Really disappointed.
Why the switch to yearly subscription
This was hands down the best elk hunting app and probably still is but I’m not paying 25$ a year for something that was free for the last 3. All this info is available for free on the dozens of podcasts Paul has been on.
Hear them out on changing to subscription
I have had this app for two years and it has helped my husband and I significantly with our calls and learning about elk communication. I have told my husband that it was crazy they only charged 10 dollars for the amount of information the app contained. I was bummed when I saw it was moving to subscription, but I reached out to them, they responded promptly, and they explained that it was a very difficult decision. There are only 5 guys working on this app. The amount of work, thought, and years of experience and education put into this app is definitely worth 15 dollars a year. And that certainly isn’t going to be enough to provide an income for any of them. All we see are the videos and the calls in the app. We don’t know the time, cost, and effort that is required behind the scenes to have the app run smoothly and give us all of this awesome information. The new update runs seamlessly and it’s apparent a lot of thought was put into this decision. Love seeing new tips, tactics, and sequences, too. The information put out in this app is unmatched and worth it. These guys are hunters just like we are. Don’t give them a bad review just because they are trying to figure out a way to keep making this app better for us. Thank you guys for taking the time out of your lives to give us this great app!
Recordings still don’t work/Where are all my practice recordings
Edit review/ you can only record practice calls if connected to internet. I suspect this is because of the microphone on iPhones use your location information if granted permission I wonder why they need your location for such things. It’s all about selling your info to the marketing scum of the earth corporations/Second review still cannot use practice recording feature I was one of original suckers to pay for this app before they ruined it and tried to rip off there customers and now the app is useless for its original intended purpose/ Updated app and lost all my recorded bugles. This was the primary reason why I purchased the app. Now I have lost all me and my sons so much for keeping track of our progression. Not happy.
I plan to carry this app on my hunt
Great information. I wish the authors would get a technical writer and let them re-write it. It’s hard to read because the sentences don’t flow. It will be impossible to comprehend when reading quickly on a hunt.
Bought app few years ago
I love the app and bought the app a few years ago. They changed the app and now have to pay every year instead of the one time. Very disappointed that this is the route that was taken. I talked this app up to many friends who purchased the app the same way I did until they updated and make you pay every year.
Best out there, fraction of the cost
I’ve gone through the other well known elk apps and training sessions. They cost way more and none of them provide a coherent calling strategy like the Elk Nut does. Total novice on my first trip, after a few months of practice with the app I went to a DIY public land run of the mill unit and called in 18 bulls within bow range in 4-1/2 days of hunting using elk nut calling sequences. Had my pick of the litter, the average bull success rate in that unit that year (hindsight) was 4% and my buddy and I both had our pick of the litter. Our success rates of bringing a given bull into bow range was extremely high. I’ve now got confidence to hunt and kill elk anywhere.
shady business practices
I tried this app in 2022. Paid the fee and after a few weeks decided it was not for me. I cancelled my membership but never received any sort of confirmation email. Today, two years later, I saw they are still trying to charge me an annual fee! No email was sent notifying me of this for obvious reasons. I only have one email ever from gotgametech and that was from the original transaction in 2022.
Deleted my recordings randomly
Great app, one issue. Had some recordings of bugles and various sounds, go to listen to them one day and there gone. Was not pleased but overall a good app
How do I subscribe?
There doesn’t seem to be a way from within the app to use the promo code and subscribe so that I can access the content. Last night or the night before this app was a one-time cost of $9.99, but I didn’t have wifi access for the download. Now it’s an annual subscription and I can’t seem to be able to give you my money in exchange for access.
Game CHANGER!
Beginning to learn about hunting elk can be tough, there are thousands of resources whether it be books or online. If you want a ONE STOP SHOP for learning to call elk and the learn WHY you need to call at certain times, then the ElkNut app is for you. Most likely in the last week you have spent more then the cost of the app at a gas station or grocery store, so stop debating if you need it... because you do!
Greedy update
Purchased this app in 2020 under the pretenses that all content wild be available for a one time purchase. I come back to the app for a pre season refresher, and his best sequences are now locked behind another paywall. It is advertised that only new content added after 2022 is behind the paywall, but these same sequences used to be available after purchasing the app. Absolutely greed, and taking away a product that I already purchased once.
Still a few bugs but great ap
I can’t download the slow play sequence in the ap. I’ve u installed the ap and reinstalled it and nothing. Tips on fixes? Otherwise great
Unreal amount of content.
Couldn’t believe the amount of information within the app, from the tactics to sounds this app has everything any new or old elk hunter needs.
Pro Doesn’t Work No Support
I purchased the Pro version but cannot access the Pro features. Essentially I still have the free version but paid for it. I called the original owner and it has been sold so he can no longer help in support. No response from the company that now owns it. Wasted $14
Great tactics!
The tips and tactics are spot on. I have rifle hunted elk for years but am new to archery hunting and had to change my whole approach. Tips on how to setup and the different sequences helped me to harvest an elk in one of SD’s toughest units to arrow an elk. Thanks!!
Scam, beware
Beware that what you pay for may be changed at any time and you may be asked for more money, Many people, including me, bought the lifetime subscription only to have it deleted off our phones and we now have to pay again. The only explanation was he set the price too low and changed his mind Dishonest , buy at your own risk.
What a ride
This one time this year I called in this bull dubbed the hook huff. He was a masterful animal with huff rott. I worked this bull so hard he came rite in and dry humped the air so hard that the wind from his body broke branches. The stench from his huff rot was so overwhelming that I puked on his hind end before he galloped of into the wooded meadows. Without the sounds that I learned to master from your calling and me learning to manipulate a blade of grass this would have been next to impossible!!!! Thanks again for your laundry soaps they are awesome at masking human smells
Thieves
They upgraded their app to an annual subscription and those of us that purchased it prior to that lost access to the product we paid for and they don’t have the decency to respond to the complaint I made.
Priceless
I’ve been archery hunting 8 seasons as of this year (2020) I’ve now taken 8 bulls consistently with my bow. All public all DIY and all OTC. This app has sharpened my skills to understand undoubtedly of what to say and when to say it and how I should be saying it. Very very awesome tool with great pearls for success. I’m going to need more space on the wall.
Bait and switch
I purchased this app this year, and now I can’t use it because it’s a subscription service that they want me to pay an additional $14.99 a year for. Rip off!
Impressive!
I’m new to calling and this has been a tremendous help. In the past I’ve had to YouTube and poke around for the specific calls and sequences I’m looking to improve. With Paul’s app, it’s all in one place. Especially like the ability to record my own calls, and then match those against the real deal, as well as Paul’s. Couldn’t be happier!
Not happy
Purchased Elk Nut from the App Store to get ready for 2022 elk season. Great information I was starting to process. Had it for about a month and they shut down the app to restructure. Haven’t been able to use since. Don’t answered my emails.
