I haven't heard it personally, but I had a bull with 3 cows on my cam this week. I'm sure they are.

I was out over night sat & sun.
Did not hear any talking. It was a bit windy though, which could have dampened any bugling.  :o

I was out yesterday and heard lots of chatter and a couple bugles.  If I had any clue how to post sounds I would put it up.   :chuckle:

The bulls I watched yesterday were still about 50/50 on being hard horned. I watched a bull raking a tree but it wasn't from the rut, they are just now shedding the velvet. I didn't hear any bulls talking but it wouldn't surprise me if they are starting to get some practice in and locate their soon to be competitors.
