elk hunting
 

Has anyone had any sucess lately bugling or cow calling?

Cow called a big 6x6 in on Saturday. You need to be out early as it's all over a few minutes after legal light. Actually heard a fair number of bulls bugling, but mostly in the dark. They are still rutting but just being quiet during the heat of the day.

Had a great morning yesterday. Called in 4 different bulls in a 45 min span. One 4 x 5 darn near ran us over. Stopped at quite literally 6 feet. Just not the bull we wanted. Another gave a 40 yard shot but again not the big bull. Could have had a long day of packing. Three of the four were vocal.

Response yes, ultimate success no
 

Hearing lots of bugling but as others have said it is early morning only. Had a good bull responding to our call Saturday at 10:30am. We took after him but within minutes he was silent. Didn't hear from him again.

I was out all of the past week and I never heard a full out bugle. There was alot of grunting and whining going on though.

I successfully called in 4 other hunters last Saturday. Does that count?

I was out before first light this morning, an hour or so before and yes my gun was cased :)never heard a peep. I know there in the area lot's of tracks around. Getting tired of track soup tho!:(

Hey Outbackpat, heading out the end of next week to see if i cant find some elk track soup of my own. Interested in heading out for a day or two? send me a Pm if your interested.
