I've been on the Melbourne A Line in Minot since Friday and haven't seen an elk yet let alone hear one bugle! Seen a few fresh tracks but that's it. I was cow calling yesterday morning and my kid could hear movement down in the brush and we nocked arrows twice but nothing ever showed. My hearing is so bad I never heard anything even with my hearing aids!! My kid went home yesterday so now it's spot and stalk for me. I think with the hot weather they went nocturnal but maybe things will change now with the rain today. You guys with good hearing got it made, I envy you.

Yep, it was early this year so might as well quite hunting for elk it's just a waste of time now. :twocents:

I think that the Elk are just getting going hard and near the peak of the rut. Should be great hunting the next week. Good luck to archers with an Elk tag.

Rut is going strong, just a bit call shy from all the pressure.

From most replys it sounds like the East is in it pretty heavy right now and on the West it might be towards the end?

The sign we ran into last Friday, the stink from the animals was still there!! Never did see very many rub trees to speak of though. Maybe they'll be at it by the time muzzle stuffer comes along. Glad I have the multi tag.

Haven't heard from too many Westside archery hunters. What have you guys been seeing?? Has the rut hit it's peak? Or is it just in its beginning stages?

Seems with the drought conditions the rut was real quick and done this year.
