Koury Guide Service Report post Posted August 26, 2011 I heard my first bugle of 2011 this morning. I also glassed up over 150 cow elk in the same drainage. I felt like I was in Alaska watching Caribou, not elk in AZ. Here is a picture from the video. Click on the link to see the video and hear these cow elk calling and a couple bugles...

Cool Video, ya that's alot of cows, thanks for sharing, can't believe the bugle. So do you think the rut is going to come early. Just wondering we have a muzzle bull elk in 9.

AZbowhntr Report post Posted August 30, 2011 I have a friend that went up this last Friday night on a scout campout and he said at about 2 in the morning they started up bugling and went for a couple hours until the coyotes started howling. They kept everyone in camp awake. They were up north of Payson somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZBAR Report post Posted August 31, 2011 Shane, I found a herd of about 50 which I thought was a bit more than usual for the area. I wonder if that bunch joined up with another big bunch & created the Alaskan caribou migration you speak of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
