Until Sept 23rd then it shuts off completely.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I bugled in a 6x6 last thurs night to 25 yrds but he would'nt turn broadside. He only bugled twice but it were a nasty, raspy bugle! I was hunting mt. st. helens. I'm hoping to bugle a bull for my buddy who will be muzzy hunting in west klick. I hope they are still talking!

Just depends on where you are, I was on the east side of St. Helens opening bow week and didn't hear a thing other than other hunters I found that were calling. The next week I was up north off I-5 and cows and bulls were talking away...........beats me.  Oh but what a nice sound it is when you get them going.

Back in the day when Bow season opened Oct. 1st the bulls were still bulging hard. I've hunted muzzleloader in Oct. too. Use a bugle to locate them, then get in close and use a hyper cow call and cow calls. The cows are coming in heat again if they didn't take during the pick of the rut, the bulls are looking for those cows. Remember keep checking the wind as you move in.

There are still a lot of cows that will need to be bred.  I think you could put a menstrating cow in front of a Bull in May and stir him into a frenzy.  People talk about the moon and the weather but I believe it is the cows that determine the rut.  Find the cows in heat and you may find a bull that is off his rocker
Lead em if they're running.

Last weekend there was a bull bugling in what seemed like every drainage.  With the colder weather moving in, I expect this to be a hot weekend!

still going the night before last.  Had at least 3 bulls screaming at us while we were bear hunting.  One of them only had one antler.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
