I saw a nice big bull rounding up 5 cows a 4 calves bugling like crazy today. Rut is going to be early this year on the east side. It’s nice and cold up there in the morning.

Nice. Saw 8 cows and 5 calves on the westside today and no bull in sight. No response to bugle either.

West side camera is showing lots of cows with nothing but spikes  with them. Bulls on camera are running solo not grouped so it seems things are moving in the right direction.
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!

I had a few bugling up in the Naneum on Friday night. Nothing to hot but were responding to my bugles way more than cow calls.

Was down in Eastern Oregon this last weekend.  Had bulls screaming on Saturday, nothing on Sunday and had a bull cutting me off on Monday.  My brother killed a decent 5 point Saturday morning.  Gonna be a good one.

I killed i little 5x5 while he was raking a tree last Sunday, but he couldn't care less about my calling to him. The little bugger made me go ninja on him, for a 10 yard shot.
