Bulls hot?

[Shooter4]

Are the bulls hot yet was out today and called and chuckled and got a grunt/moan from a bull 150 yards away didn’t sound like he was hot.

I'm a west coast guy, mainly Pacific County, and after 4-days, I've only had (1) hot bull come in, and it was a 4-point. I've had (2) small rags come in silent and they both surprised me.

I had one of the rag horns come in across a new clear cut at 1:30pm in the thick smoke, and he came from upwind. Other than that, the couple of big bulls that I had counted on haven't been seen.

Lots of guys driving and bugling into every canyon. Almost all of them don't even shut their rig off. And to top it off, if there's an old, grown over grass road that dead ends, these guys will drive it !! Walking appears to be a lost art.

What gets me, is most of these old, grown over roads are shredded with sign, and if you actually got out you can smell the bull. I had a bull going on a dead end road and put my truck about 1/4 mile before it ended. The road was alder grown over and the guy drove by rig, and then me, as the wind changed.

Whatever, guys will hunt like they want.

Lots of bulls bugling yesterday and this morning near Cle Elum...   heard 6-8 different bulls at the same time but they seemed to be holding tight where they were.

Gotcha yeah I’m in NE Washington

They will not bugle if wolves are around. They learn that very quickly.

Revere is correct.  Buddy arrowed a bull yesterday evening.  He was with a bunch of cows and did not make a peep

[LDennis24]

Pics?

I don't have permission but it was 30 miles NE of you in an area were wolves live even though the state says no.

I called in a 5 point in NE WA the other day and he came in making cow call mew type sounds the whole way. Got to 8 feet of me, i made myself known and he came back 3-4 more times and wouldn't leave until i stood up, walked toward him and clapped. He was definitely thinkin with his dipstick.

Just cow call. Trying to sound like a lost calf. He came across an open lake bed. Id guess he started 400+ yards away

[Shooter4]

Nice! You hunting a special tag?

[Crunchy]

Im headed to Eastern Oregon tomorrow for the last 9 days of their season.  They should be talking.

It is dead in my area last few days. What the heck happened.

[bornhunter]

Had a big bodied 5×5 trying to mount several different cows in our field two nights ago. He was hot as could be but never made a peep. I was not calling just watching from about 40 yards. He even played himself out once and had to lay down for about 10 minutes and then he was back after the girls.

Been pretty active the last week in Eastern Oregon. This morning on my way into town to get some work done, I saw a 6 point bull elk with 4 cows cross the road and there happened to be a truck parked near where he crossed. Lucky hunter killed him this morning and had him all loaded up on my way back up the hill by mid morning.

Been hearing bugles all evening.

Still silent in my area of central cascades. Had a 6x7 come in quiet this morning. No noise in and calm as a cucumber. Had a herd of about 15 cows Friday night accompanied by a spike and no bulls
