I was down there a couple years ago with my brother in early September, bulls were talking all day and night what a sound could not sleep a wink, it was awesome, we were just north of flagstaff i think second week of sept.

I feel like the rut really peaks depending on the weather.  That first ten degree cool down that comes in September seems to really set the bulls into a frenzy.  Of course the cows are gonna get bread one way or another in September.  It would be great if forecasters could tell us now what the temp was gonna be in September (and actually be right).  If it were me i would try to be there right around the second or third week of September just my  :twocents:.  GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!!

Pretty much the same as here.  Its not as variable as the deer rut.
