TAM Report post Posted September 7, 2010 I spent all weekend glassing an area that holds over 200 elk. There were 89 in one group with several good bulls that were bugling and even some sparing. Seems like the bulls are ready to go, but the cows need a little more time. I can't wait until Friday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted September 7, 2010 I was n/w of ashfork - never heard a peep - didnt glass any up either - know they are around some trees torn up and good sign at ponds/ tanks - was a tad warmer though - 90-92 - sure elavation and temp makes a big difference in activity- Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted September 7, 2010 I've seen lots of elk the last few days, not any of the real big stuff yet, but lots of bulls. But they will be coming across the rez soon. (3c) This morning I followed 9 bulls bugling no cows, I picked the wrong group to follow before work, nothing big at all. soon, very soon. Come on Friday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pine Donkey Report post Posted September 8, 2010 In the Dry Valley area of Unit 1 they were quite vocal all weekend, but it looked like pre-rut activity only. A couple small bulls pushing eash other around with larger bulls off by themselves not paying much attention. Raghorns were holding the herds of cows. Should be a great hunt.

Coach Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Got pix of one pretty nice bull this morning pushing a bunch of cows, bugling chasing off other bulls - definately hot rut action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Sounds like the rut is going to be perfect for this years archery hunts. There was some bugling going on last weekend in 24a. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
