Title: any Eastside bulls bugeling?
Post by: sled on September 07, 2013, 11:28:02 PM
  Just Got Home From Three Days On The LT Murray, And Didn't Hear A Single Bugle.  Did See A Nice 7X7, And Some Cows, But I Wasn't Hunting.

  Just Curios If Anyone Is Hearing Any Yet?

Yes. I was up in 335 yesterday and laid out a bugle. Got one to answer back and actually for a long time. I got closer and he was rolling in a wallow. So I kept bugling and he would answer every time. Once I got closer he started rubbing trees and trashing stuff and growling and chuckling. He was a nice 6x6 satellite bull. If only I had a tag.

Plenty of talk up Manashtashe. Probably a lot of hunters but there were definitely some real one coming from the closed burn area.

Saw a couple of bulls fighting and a big herd bull with dozens of cows yesterday.  Several bugles in the morning, but nothing in the evening.

True elk will usually be accompanied by the sound of a truck along with a stereo playing. Stopping on all the points were they slam the door and then proceded to locate a willing cow or a bull who would like a fight!!

I wasn't far from you.  For 4 days, not a peep.  Last night, Day 5, in the evening, I started hearing bugles.  My son, in a different location also not far from you, started hearing them last night as well.

HAHA nope wasn't you that I heard.  My elk was bugling a couple hours earlier.  The elk my son got into were bugling about 15 minutes before dark and accompanied by several cows that were making all kinds of noise.
