Bulls still bugling ?

[huntnfmly]

Hey guys how late in the year are bulls normally bugling?

[elkboy]

As of this last weekend, still bugling hard in the east Cascades!  Activity was dying down around 9 or 10 am, and bulls were screaming again around 4:30 or 5:00 PM.  We were in a spike only unit, but man, we saw some nice bulls.

Yes, area dependent. As long as there is a hot cow in the mix, the bull vocalization will continue.

Thank you for the replies
I heard of cows coming into heat 30 days after their first cycle if they were not bread the first time

[Hilltop123]

Yup, night before last. One was ripping it up in our pasture, woke me up! That didnt make me happy.

I was showing a 200 ac parcel yesterday and we jumped some elk. After a couple minutes they started bugling about 500 yds away.. Just enough bugling to help me write up an offer for an excited buyer/hunter.

Bet ya wish you had some bugling bulls on every property you showed.

[Buckhunter24]

Boy I could hide in the brush and bugle at your next property for a reasonable fee...

[Bango skank]

Get some big sheds and stash them on the properties youre showing 

[buckcanyonlodge]

I showed one property and as soon as we drove up the drive way a couple deer crossed in front of us and when checking out the sellers ground blind area a flock of turkeys flew in from uphill and practically landed at our feet.  "OK, turn the turkeys loose" I yelled up the hill. No offer from those buyers but I do have one now on that parcel..

Yes, area dependent. As long as there is a hot cow in the mix, the bull vocalization will continue.

Seen cows in heat at oak creek in January with bulls bugleing and mounting as if it was September.

Definitely had 3 bulls bugling last day of deer rifle season last year down in the blues .

Two bulls bugling and cows talking as we speak.  Fifty yards behind my house in 329.

friend in ID deer hunting saw a big 6 bugling and trying to mount cows today

The Yakima herd was pretty noisy the week before season - I even got to watch two mature bulls fight each other. 

I haven't heard so much as a cow mew since the opener.  I was out for four days straight and (thankfully) was within earshot of plenty of elk.  Still looking for that spike though...
