Title: Muzzy Bugles?
Post by: JasonG on October 08, 2023, 05:10:02 PM: Well after a VERY quite Archery season, I was curious if muzzy guys are hearing any elk talk even though it is getting later in the year??

Still grouped up and the bulls would just move their herd of cows if you cow or bull called. The cows were also talking like mad but again not very callable. Buddy got his cow tag filled so it all worked out and was a super fun hunt.

Similar for us, I chased a bull around for 4 hours on Sunday who would bugle and move off. Every day, quiet by 10am.

Post by: Bareback on October 13, 2023, 08:32:09 PM: On the OP, the wife was walking the dog at the cabin mid day last Friday and said she heard a bugle. I told her it was probably a hunter. Driving back from glassing that night there was a herd in the neighborhood. I think it was a bull. 😉

Today we were on a herd of about forty. No multi-branched bulls but five spikes. We watched a spike bugle. It was like a five year old kid, with a cape on after watching star wars for the first time.
