Think the "Bulls of September" would still be calling?
 

Alright boys, what are your thoughts on last days for calling bull Elk? I hear sept 25th is the cut off but some say right into early Oct. Thoughts?

Elk have no calendars....I have heard bulls calling into the first week of November.

Would they still respond to calling that late?

Elk are vocal creatures bulls will bugle well into winter I have heard them late Dec.
Now will a bull come charging in wanting a fight like in September no but that behaviour will continue into mid October however.

I called in and killed a bull on October 4th. Its definitely not too late.

I shot a bull on nov 23rd. one year, that came in bugling to a cow call. I've heard elk bugle every month of the year. But it's still on right now.

Very vocal and responsive this weekend

Be careful, I bugled in a grizzly bear to about thirty feet tonight, a little scary.

In the blackfoot..... there is two ruts

We called in a big herd bull three times in the last week and arrowed him last night. There were bulls bugling all over the place at last light.
To be honest the last week they've been the most vocal in our area

....and it only happens there....:thinking-006:

LC :)

I shot a bull that came in screaming on oct 25 last year. If there is still cows to bread they are still calling.

They are in full rut and calling like crazy in the petting zoo.....ooops I mean the Suff Block.

Counting on it!!
Headn for the hills in the am for a week. :)
Last 2 years shot bugling bulls on 24/9 and 28/9 iirc? :confused:
....plus bugled up a nice 5x5 the following morn last year,12 hrs after tagging 4x4....."cya next year".....well next year IS tommorrow!!;)

I am no elk pro but the most aggressive rutting and bugling I have ever seen has been in the first week of October, right up to thanksgiving.

I'm headed north on tuesday morning,I'm hoping they are still giving er hard...

The elk do call Well into October, and this year I seen and heard no elk sign....? Did the elk even go into rut? 346 AREA? Any comments.
