AZHUNTER05 Report post Posted September 17, 2013 Anyone kill a bull in 5bn this year? It's been real slow so far and I haven't heard of any bulls hitting the ground yet. Hopefully this rut kicks off soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

codyhuntsaz Report post Posted September 18, 2013 I'm in 5b south...really slow here too. I killed a small 6x7 Sunday night and we've had another guy get a spike. Tough hunt so far. No rutting activity at all!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZHUNTER05 Report post Posted September 18, 2013 We've heard bugles almost everyday, but they are very few and far between. We have called several bulls in, but they hang up around100 yards. This is the hardest archery bull hunt I have been on! Hopefully the rut kicks off soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buffhunter Report post Posted September 18, 2013 Azhunter if you are hunting with a partner when those bulls hang up have whoever is calling sneak out away from the bull and cow call softly like they are walking away. I have had this work quite a few times to get that bull in the last 50 yards or so 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BML Report post Posted September 19, 2013 It's the pressure that 5BN gets that's shuts them up. We hunted it several years in a row and it just got worse and worse as more and more people showed up in areas we hunted. On my hunt I heard 2 bugles in 7 days during legal shooting light. Bulls are still killable but for me part of hunting elk this time of year is getting to experience all the awesome sighta and sounds of the rut! So we no longer hunt there.
