BOHNTR Report post Posted September 6, 2019 Had a 100 or so elk in my field this morning.....couple of nature bulls. Bugling and posturing.......then one of them destroyed my beautiful Austrian Pine on his way to the tree line! Ones of the hazards of living here, I guess. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim Report post Posted September 6, 2019 We heard a lot of bulls last week in 27 warming up their pipes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddielasvegas Report post Posted September 9, 2019 No elk heard or seen this past weekend in AZ GMU 7E in the area of FS 517B. A bit surprising I must say. On the bright side, a crazy powerful t-storm came through Saturday afternoon with heavy rain and strong winds and my Kodiak tent held up like a champ.

azelkhunter69 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 A buddy was up in 8 over the weekend. Said he stayed up until 10 pm both nights listening for bugles. He said he didn't hear a single bugle all weekend. It's supposed to cool down Tuesday and Wednesday. Hopefully that will help. Unfortunately, it's supposed to warm back up opening day. On the bright side, he said every tank had at least 2 cameras on it and guys were already leaving ground blinds out, claiming their spots because it is so dry. LOL. Guys are going to be fighting over water this year if we don't get a little rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted September 9, 2019 Hit some water holes and wallows I found on google earth yesterday and they were all dry. But I did hear bulls bugling all night Saturday and all day Sunday despite it being pretty windy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because there were 65,000 people camping and running SxS's all weekend off the Bill Williams loop road. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
