biggame not sure where you hunt elk at but every year I have hunted archery which includes 4 different GMU's I have seen the rut absolutely going full swing during archery season.  Yes the rut is usually also still going full swing into muzzy season.  But I have called elk in from Sept 6th all the way to Oct 11th.  I would say the 15th-30th is the best time to be in the woods for bugling bulls.

The reason our rut goes so long is unlike other states WA has a really low bull:cow ratio.  Most states are 30:100 where in WA other than the blues the best you're gonna find is 15:100.  So there are alot of cows not getting bred.  Therefore the rut in WA lasts longer and is not as intense as in other states.  When you have only a couple bulls per harem of cows the rut isn't going to be too intense.  Where in other states you might have 4 or 5 bulls per cows.  So the rut is gonna be intense.

   I was up there between the 20th through the 2nd and they were screaming.  Harvested my bull on the 2nd and had 3 bulls screaming around me so they are active during bow just have to be in the right place at the right time.  MLs' in the area I was at were having success as well and from what I've read BHs' had some good success in the beginning and towards the end with the rut.

I've only hunted rockey MT. elk durning the rut. Last year I drew a tag for Sept. 20th through the 24th over here on the wet side. I used the same calls and got my bull. I only thing different is that they come in quite. Rockey Mt's will screem all the way in.

I have used a few diffrent calls but lost some and went back to the only one i could find, Carltons challenger bugle. I have called in lots of bulls with it, the bugle tube comes off and the cow call is great, you can make alot of diffrent sounds and emotions.opening day had a 4 hour buglefest with a 5x5 and he had ten cows with him, 15-50 yards for 4 hours, he came and went many times but i had the intrest of a few of his cows so he couldnt get em to leave, sometimes its not just the calling but the overall sounds made. My partner was scrapping and rubbing trees, stomping, thats what got him to finally step out of the reprod. I drew my bow at least 30 times over the 4 hours, only for him to hang up behind the regen, all the diffrent setups and yardages at openings threw me off when the time came and used my thirty pin    he was less than 20, missed had 4 other close calls on other 5 point bulls, all with the carltons challenger bugle,  sealed the deal later on tho! just a 2 point but tasty!
