I wouldn’t waste time calling on that tag. I’d be glassing like it’s going out of style. Once your bored in one spot move and glass more.

If I were doing that hunt, I’d for sure have a reed in my mouth. I’ve used one numerous times during late archery (Thanksgiving & beyond) to stop them and pull them in from out of range....course, range is relative when throwing bullets instead of carbon...but it’s a lot easier to get them to stop with a good bark

I agree with bracer40 that having a call can be useful to stop them from moving away. I’ve used a cow call a few times in there well past the rut for that purpose, and I was amazed how effective it was, especially how far the elk were away and how open it is in there.

Cows calls can help but I'd leave the bugle at home.

I've called and received response from bull elk in mid-late October during elk Muzzleloader season but, I was not hunting elk. Just taking the opportunity to work on calling since there was a heard less than a mile from my deer camp. The following general modern elk season, I did effectively call a heard of cows out and the results were favorable as a friend of mine was then able to fill his cow tag quite easily.

Mid October is a different animal than late October and it depends on the unit and what else is going on (like the start of rifle season).
