Title: ELK talk
Post by: Jayfire83 on August 19, 2011, 03:04:14 PM: Was down early morning in a top secret area of the Willipa Hills and herd a few Chuckles and a bugle in a few different spots. Any of the Bulls got their Libido setting in yet in your areas?? :chuckle:

I wish I lived closer to my hunting spot. 200 miles round trip isn't as simple or cheap as it used to be

The bulls are starting slowly (it seems), but I think they're ahead of 2 years ago. I couldn't buy a bugle that year; last year wasn't much better: early bugles all over, but not much through September.
