Bulls are singing

[boneaddict]

I haven't been up there.  Most likely.   They tend to be at least a week earlier than the Ellensburg bunch, and about 2 weeks before the Yakima herd.

How many years did it take ya to get drawn???

I hope they calm down and save some singing for the first week in October for my bull hunt.

When do the Yakima bulls start singing good?

[boneaddict]

Usually the best is around October first, or the last 5 days of September.

I will be scouting the last two days of Sept and hunting the first six days of Oct. Should be fun.

I thought 16B was in the Gila?

16A-16D all in the gila...the difference i think is specifically where and when.

[boneaddict]

All of 16 is in the Gila, maybe even some of 15.....they beak them up into subunits.  Different hunts at different times.  16D has three archery hunts in September.  Each are about 5 days.

Bulls were bugling VERY little near Naches WA this week... I'll start a post later but we came home empty handed...

I was up in the Rimrock unit scouting this weekend and there was no rutting activity that i saw. Every once in a while I would stop and let out a small bugle and I got one response back then nothing. I think the elk got pushed around a lot by the bow hunters. Maybe in a week they will settle down and start making noise again.

I only seen three cows that had a spike with them that was still in velvet.
