I have heard elk bugle in November during the general rifle season. We walked into a herd 20 years ago on opening day of elk season. They were going nuts and bugling all over the place. I don't think there is an official start and end date. It is all a estimate.

You think this is more or less luck of the draw over bugling and getting a response this year?

Not likely,  Might locate but calling would be random.

They talk all year in Packwood. On a calm night, you can sit outside, and hear multiple talkers! Funny, I've never heard those Packwood elk talk during the day, not even during the rut!

 Depending on your herd make up you can have a second smaller rut later in the year (just like with deer). We had one the other year owing to some really weird weather. We had little new calves with spots all the way up until late August this past year.

Yep I've heard bulls bugle in the spring and dead of winter.... At the feeding station in Oak Creek years ago one rag 6 was pretty close to the fence and let out a bugle followed by another somewhere nearby... I never knew so many people were scared of elk talk... A couple kids crying and even some grown adults jumped, backed up, and left!!!   :chuckle:   My Dad and I laughed so hard... My stomach hurt along with some tears!!!!    :chuckle:

I know of  a 360" bull that was shot during the modern firearm season that was located because he had bugled.
