I bulged a bull in yesterday. And killed him at less then 40 yds. I haven't posted the story yet, it was a long night. Back in the day archery season opened Oct. 1st, I could always call in bulls.

We were working one in Naches on Friday, and my reports say they are moving in WY.  No time to waste now.

I did my first year of archery down here in the 660 and nothing going on then and doing the front stuffer now. We've seen a total of 3 cows since the opener. Been hitting the timber real hard every day from day light til dark and nothing happening. Been cow calling and not getting any answers from the bulls at all. :bash: Found a really fresh rub the other night so we hit that area yesterday and I think they grow wings and leave!! Got today and tomorrow to get one and then it'll be modern next month. This is gonna be embarrassing to eat multi tag soup. :yike: The first rub an alder is in a different area and probably a couple weeks old now but the second one is the one I found the other night. There were probably a half dozen firs that he trashed down in this hole. Getting ready to hit again.

I live in Snoqualmie right next to the big fields they dedicated to the elk.  There are about 75 elk in there with 10bulls over 300 inches.  Last Saturday they were rutting really hard. Watched 4 cows get dominated.  Lots of chasing bulls around and bugles.  Last night they were all out again and no calling or chasing.  They were just feeding and most of the Bulls were close together.   Seems like it's over to me

I bugled  with 2 bulls this morning. One exposed himself to us and the other one was out on an open hillside with 5 cows.

Had a few cows behind my place Monday night. Woke up at 1:30AM when two nice 6x6 bulls crashed into the side of my house while fighting. Scared the crap out of me until I figured out what it was! Lol
The fighting and bugling went on all night until I left at 5:30AM.
