Pixman Report post Posted August 17, 2011 I saw 3 smaller bulls together on Saturday and the smallest one had its velvet rubbed off. I tried to load a pic but it isn't working right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngbuck Report post Posted August 17, 2011 All my bulls on my cams are still in velvet (pines). I saw some fresh rubs in there though. I heard of 4 bulls in the cedars together that were clean this past weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkaddict Report post Posted August 17, 2011 Saw 2 nice 6x6's this morning both with velvet, this is at 6800', just wondering if elevation (coolness) has any thing to do with it. Or is it like droppping, the biggest ones first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cramerhunts Report post Posted August 17, 2011 I have yet to see a bull that is clean and that goes from a 350" type bull all the way to a spike. I have always believed that the bigger they are the earlier they'll rub, just like shedding. I've been in the cedars mostly around 5,500'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vincefmx Report post Posted August 18, 2011 Saw three 300-320 bulls partially rubbed off in unit 1 this morning, one bull was with about 60 cows and bugling/sniffing at cows already...pretty early to see that happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elkaddict Report post Posted August 18, 2011 Glassed a group of 6 bulls a cow and a calf, pretty strange group! The largest bull was pretty nice and the rest were raghorns, all with velvet. Saw a pretty good bull a little while later that looked like it was chasing a cow, could have been spooked but didn't see anyone or thing that would have spooked them. This was in the 6000' range. Kind of looked rubbed but was too far off to tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure with what everyone is reporting it's just a matter of a few more days and they'll all be ready to whip up on some trees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huntingfool Report post Posted August 21, 2011 Saw a herd of about 10 bulls yesterday evening in unit 7 off of Hwy 180 near the snowbowl turnoff. I'd say at least half were rubbed, one was rubbing. The biggest was a small six, most were 3 and 4 pointers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
