Quiet in the elk woods.
« on: September 08, 2024, 06:57:24 AM »
Anybody hearing anything?
In my necks of the woods have heard zero elk sounds, and little to no movement.  75degrees at 630am SUCKS.

Bulls were all grouped together last week where I was elk hunting.
Going to cool down next week. It seems like the 14-16 of September is the switch in my experience.
If you aint hunting, you aint livin'

Bull was bugling from sundown through most of the night where I'm at. 2 of them got to screaming at each for a bit friday night/saturday morning. Sorta responsive during the morning daylight hours. In the cascades on the east side. To be fair there was a bull bugling all night on the 31st in the same area.

Young rag horns and spikes whistling but no mature bugles or anything like that in Eastern Washington.

Bugling has been consistent for a week now in my area. Starting right @ dark. Hot weather hasn't shut it down.

Going to cool down next week. It seems like the 14-16 of September is the switch in my experience.
13th-16th are the days it really gets going here.

With that said I have a nice bull bugling with 30 cows and a small 6point satellite bull trying to swoop in. Fun to watch the action.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Last season the bulls in my area didn't bugle until October.

NE Oregon had one bull bugling Saturday AM a couple hours after sunrise. Those were the only bugles I heard all weekend despite seeing several.

They were bugling in the mornings and evenings where I was even with the warm weather. Bulls were gathering cows.

Had a decent bit of bugling, and a good bull hang up at 40 yards without offering a shot opening day.
