Rut doesn’t vary from year to year. It’s has to do with ( photo period ) which is length of day light. It maybe a difference of an hour or 2 each year.
So when people say it’s a late rut, it’s an early rut is not true. The rut is the same time each and every year.
If you’re planning to go elk hunting during opening day of rifle, be prepared for lots of other hunters, but they elk will be rutting.

Exactly this ! Every time i hear that the rut is early or late I laugh. They may or may not be vocal depending on alot of things but the timing doesn't ever change
