quiet

[brianb231]

Warming up. Bugling slow.

[bowhuntersd]

I only get a few days to hunt early season this year and it isn't even worth going.  I have seen a few animals being taken but not what I have seen in the past few years. This weather has them all shut down it seems like.

[nw_bowhunter]

Sat was great for bugling but Sunday was terriable! The shut up and dispappeared!

[boneaddict]

90 degree heat doesn't help

[Stick em]

Our hunting party picked up one opening day but that was it. Saturday they disappeared and Sunday all I saw was little ones and runners. Hope late season is better.

Wednesday: Too foggy. No bugles.
Thursday: Too foggy. No bugles.
Friday: Too foggy. No bugles.
Saturday: Clearish in the morning heard one bugle then nothing.
Sunday: No fog. Beautiful day. Had a bull bugle at me 15 times. Brother passed a 40yd Quartering towards him shot on a heavy 5x5.

I agree.....the 80 degree weather all week will be ideal elk hunting weather isn't the head guy a muzzle load hunter 

[sirmissalot]

I've had some if my best elk hunting with screaming bulls in 80 degree weather. This weekend was awfully quiet for me as well though.

[ghosthunter]

Muzzy guys like me won't have it any better if we don't get some weather.
Last year muzzy season 70 + every day. No fires, no wood stoves few elk.

Year before we had 60 mile hour winds for the last two days.

heading out tomorrow night after work to hunt wed-sat. hoping i have some luck, the heat will be difficult though.

I was into them on Sunday and they bugled from 3pm on.  Never shut up.  I saw the herd bull  but no tag.    Settled for a spike on the outside of the herd.  Keep at it.  Moon is starting to get full!

[bobcat]

I would have had much better luck if the season had started a week earlier. But then I'm not counting on bugling bulls to make my hunt successful. I needed them to stick to their summertime feeding patterns. But they did not- the season opened three days too late!   

[igotbigbulls]

Had em goin all sunday from daylight to noon and then left.  Saw some real nice bulls.

[gaddy]

[sneakyjake]

Sunday was the day.  Lots of talk, cows and bulls.  But I only hunted one day.

oh it is!!!!!! just the bulls are typically small in that neck of the woods 

[Woodchuck]

  In my best Obi Wan voice...
There are no elk in the blues...These are not the elk we're looking for...

More like a darth vader voice....and when did the BMM recruit you bigbulls? I mean when did you go to the dark side??  Maybe it is a coincidence that you hunt the blues and your name is igotbigbulls??  Nnnaaahhhhhhhh..........no connection there......

[cryder]

I will be in the woods in the dark behind lost lake , I'm not afraid of the dark but does anybody know if that guy got his wounded bear out of there yet ? ya !follow them at night quietly then get them at daybreak ! ( PERZACKLY !)
