The only ones I've heard so far are on my hunting movies and when I'm practicing. Anyone heard any live ones yet?
 
Ditto to Peakfreak.

I spent opening day of the archery elk hunt high up in the Strawberry area and heard nothing all day. I do wish they would starting talking a little.
 
they are starting to bugle in unit 9. there was about a 300" 6pt that had his 4th broke off. i have seen alot of wallows and muddy bulls,it won't be long til UFC starts.
 
Yes, not a hole lot though. I spent the opener archery elk hunt on the pahvant over the weekend. They were bugling here and there but not coming in to ant calls. Starting to spare a little too.
 
I heard my first bugle of the season yesterday morning in unit 22 Arizona. Seems like the raghorns are starting to hang out near the herds of cows.
 
Good luck.... Oregon has been ruined by ODF@W..... way tooo many hunter over the last 10 years invading the wood and educating every bull out there. Its sad but true, the best activity is during the third to fourth week and useully at night...
 
Lots of bugles. However, they aren't coming in to a bugle or cow call yet. I've got some call back but they're not moving.


"Keep yer powder dry n yer eye on the skyline!"
 
I called in a rag 4 point bull into me at 10 yards on friday and had a six point looking around sniffing the air but not coming in to me for about 15 minutes. I did not here any bugles and neither of those bulls responded vocally. That was in southern UTAH.
 
Hogg why are you calling elk are you stupid or just and animal rights freak. Stop educating the bulls.
 
Because it is public land myself and some others will be out there from now and through the hunts filming and calling in the northern AZ units. I apoliogize in advance if I screw up any of your once in a lifetime opportunities. If you are worried about everyone calling ruining your hunt then you got a lot to learn....

Duke maybe I'll go out to where you are drawn and follow you around with a bullhorn and call :)

This is the glory of public land. If you don't like it, go hunt on a high fenced ranch.

Great
I want to try out the slickheads before the hunt.
Watch your back i could mistake you for a 360 call bull.
 
AZDuke you sound like a real winner. Educating the Bulls? Do you use the same bugle as everyone elses? Try blowing a bugle that isn't used by everyone else. Get creative.
 
rackem406,
you come in and *&&* up my hunt and i will personaly have you arrested.
but it may take me a couple days to get back to you.
i will first show you my badge then cuff you to a tree.
and i'm not kidding.
then if i do make it back, or just call you in,
Which may take my colliages a day to find you-hope not but it could.
they will haul you in and i will be in later to fill out my report for you misconduct.
which is a min. penelity of $1000.00 and up to 10,000.00 and 6 day in jail.
plus reimburse the loss to the hunter his compinsation.
which could be conciderable.
me it would be in the 10,000.00 range.
and if you skip out its concidered a fellony.
your next 5 years will be in prision.
but don't stop there if it happens to a guide your into his pockets for big money.
so make my day and let me cuff yuo to a tree.

Quite honestly, I would like to see you try and cuff Rackem to a tree!! Also I do not believe Rackem said he was going to purposefully mess up anyones hunt. He was just joking. He just said he will be out there calling and last time I checked it is not illegal to go and call elk without a tag. So I am not sure why you are threating him and exactly what will you have him arrested for tough guy?? Quite honestly though, I would like to see someone mess with Rackem, would be funny.
 
bigbullhntr
you need to learn how to read. I am against educating bulls. I was talking about shooting Rackem with slicktricks broadheads.
You sound like a real loser that has a small stick.
 
Elkmaster....

That is pretty funny stuff. Have me arrested for calling in and filming elk. Last time I checked this is public land and if I happen to film a bigger bull than the pisscutter you can call in, thats too bad for you.

Just like any other citizen I can still go out in the forest and enjoy it just like anyone else. And my comment to AZDuke about the bullhorn, that is one of my good friends.

The way you are getting defensive it sounds like you got a tag in AZ. Maybe we will run into eachother out there. Sounds like we would have a good time together. You want to flash a badge and get your friends to flash badges and I can do the same thing, but it would never get that far. A surgeon would probably have to remove the cuffs from where I leave them...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-29-06 AT 03:58PM (MST)[p]Sorry go to jail.
just give me a call or any othe division of wildlife office,
1-970-683-4490
on the books as hurrassement, and all it takes is just one stupid remark.
as mentioned and you go to jail.
so make my day and give me a call and let me know where your going to be.
and I will meet you there.
public land is closed to fools
peta people and jerks.
just a precation.
some one may not take it as likely as i.
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-29-06 AT 04:00PM (MST)[p]I screw around with a cow call ever now and then but the bugle tube is off limits until im using it for real. I have a practice reed that I use for fun but switch when the season starts not worth the chance that they will remember me. I also rotate reeds throughout the season for the same reasons.

I have heard one half assed bugle this year and it was a month ago in Washington.
 
No fools or jerks??? How the hell you getting out there then? I've seen a lot of your posts and I've never seen you turn into an ass like you are right now. BTW I could care less about your Colorado G&F and I'm not going to be there. I'm going to be where there are big bulls right here in AZ.

You are throwing threats around left and right over someone else being out there calling. Since you can't control yourself on a post where you have time to think it through, it makes me wonder what you will do to some guy who is up in your stand if you stroll in a little too late. You need to get control of yourself and realize that your badge doesn't make you superman and that it definitely doesn't help you spell.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-29-06 AT 04:34PM (MST)[p]Elkmaster,

Are you saying you can arrest people for going out calling, chasing bugles, and filming elk during a hunt if they dont have a tag??? Your own perception of public land and fools, as well as harrassment is just that, your perception. I plan on doing plenty of calling and filming during the hunts and I dont have a tag, does that mean I am harrassing wildlife? I still dont get what your saying? Rackem and anyone else in this free country has that right to go in the outdoors on public land and have a good time listening to these critters. If it bothers you that bad i suggest you find some new places to call elk.
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-29-06 AT 06:00PM (MST)[p]Elkmaster 101
I bet you took the short bus to school when you were growing up.
I hope you are not a law enforcement officer. If so, i bet you have a short stick, maybe you are somewhat mental. Do you claim to be an elk master. What is that? Oh i bet you like to mount elk and then you are their master, and 101 is how many time you have mounted elk. Your are a sick mother.

Some people just waste oxygen.
 
Rackem,
I think I should call elkmaster in on video and I will film him try to hand cuff you to a tree.Notice how I said TRY.Now that would be some great footage.
 
Eastern Az has a few bulls whistling a bit. Still in small groups of bulls, getting closer everyday. I don't call yet... don't want to "educate" the bulls, at least in the unit I have a tag. :)
 
Easy Boy's!!

From the sounds of some of these posts, who needs to hear the bugles in the wild when we can come to this website and hear the rut starting up!!
 
BIRD,

I blew my call last Saturday. Does that make me an elk felon? I did leave the scene promptly afterwards. I bet the bull that replied will never be shot he is now educated. I think he can spell too.
 
LISTEN UP!!! LISTEN UP!!!

WELL!!!

IF YOU BOYS ARE IN THE RIGHT SPOT!!!

I think that is a courtesy thing, the problem is most of the time it is too late when you realize a hunter shows up. I would move aside if i saw a hunter pursing a bull, but i will not stop going to the woods and chasing/filming bulls, tag or no tag summer or fall. The woods are for all to enjoy. Rumor has it rackem is about 375 pounds... ,he might have you beat. Actually called in a bull tonite, they are starting to talk. i too am sick of people owning the land...
 
Canon: Are those the same rumors we hear every year about bulls that are over 400" and when the real story comes out its 350". Beer belly and all!!!! SirRoyal
 
i agree you may mistake him for a bull elk because he is approx the same size and he calls real well to so good luck to ya.
 
no it is for real rack em is huge and believe me, you probably dont want to mess with him.
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-06 AT 01:17AM (MST)[p]Talk your trash sirroyal. I'm with canon on the courtesy thing. If I know a hunter is on something I'll move out, and if not I'm filming. I'm sick of people talking tough and acting like they are going to do something. 300 ain't nothing. It's only been 2 years since I've been throwing 300 pusses on the ground while playing ball. I could use a little stretch and you might be the one who can help me with that. You want my cell phone??? Better yet, why don't you come see another AZ boy.

People like canon and myself are out there every year, watching the bulls, patterning them and when we actually have enough time, guiding hunts. And when I don't have time I am doing my best to help others out. I'm not putting myself in the same class of canon, because I would put him up against anyone, but we come from the same cloth when it comes to hunting bulls. I sure don't like having enemies, but if that is what you are looking for then you found one.

I have never jepordized someone else's hunt and I don't plan on it. But when I do pull my bull tag all the time spent out there will pay off.

Sirroyal,

Yes post your cell number tough guy. At 300 pounds i bet it is hard to stay out of your way. Rackem eats 300 pounds of meat a week, so i would watch your back maybe you will become the hunted. As for an arizona boy, are you from Colorado City?
Is Elkmaster your master?

Good luck on your elk hunt sounds like you suck at calling and need all of unit 9 to yourself.
 
And another thing. I have rarely ran into a hunter while I've been out there filming or just enjoying the bulls. It's about getting to know the units as good as possible. I don't need to chase every bull out there disrupting the rut to get my footage. sirroyal, if you can't get away from the hunters when there is only 75 tags you need to spend some more time up there.

I hardly even go into 9. Do I have friends that do? Yes, and I spend time in other units so we can have as much knowledge as possible shared between us. You're just another blowhard that can't control himself while he's on the board. Go put up all your stands and blinds with a note saying to stay away. Don't worry, I'll stay away. No one wants to deal with someone with a chip on their shoulder like you sitting out in the woods turning red every time you see a hunter or a truck go by. Must be hard being so bitter all the time....

rackem wont be in unit 9 but i will ive hunted that unit for many years and have helped my buddies and i am sick and tired of people that think when they get the tag no body else better be there or else. if your a real hunter your out in the woods every time you get the chance not just if you have the tag. sorry if that pisses you off just the facts jack.
 
SO. I have a really off the wall question for this thread. "HAS ANYONE HEARD BUGLING AS OF YET ????
 
wow, this thread realy got blown out.
No bugling as of yet.
Need a crack of cold weather.
Heading to the top in a week.
Lets get back to the bugle.
good luck,
 
Well, I started this post, so let's see if I can bring it back around to its original intent.

I haven't heard any bugles here in Montana yet. However, the weather has been very hot. It is supposed to cool down tonight, with a chance of rain. Maybe that will get them whistling.

I've always used the Sept. 15th timeframe as the best time to try to call bulls in. What is everyone else's opinion on the best week for calling?

Good luck to everyone, whether your hunting with a bow, rifle or camera. It's all about being out and enjoying yourself and nature, so it doesn't really matter what you're "shooting" with.
 
Yea MTbowhunter. I'm also in MT. Just north of Kalispell. I've found that we are usually listening for them until we finally hear them around the 15th. I've been taking my vacation the 3rd week of Sept. for years now. Things have really been a blast at that time. I have to say though, I'll be listening again really hard in a couple of days. Have a good one. What part of MT. do you hunt, East, West??? Time is drawing niegh!!! k2bbq
 
I have heard nothing in az yet but have heard rumors that people are hearing bugles in the higher country
 
I hunt the Missouri Breaks, north of Jordan. I have my vacation planned starting the 16th, and will be hunting that whole week. Last year, the timing was just about right - A few bulls already had herded up some cows, but I was able to call some others in. Hopefully, I'll get a shot this year.
 
You have to get off your couch to hear bugles KY, just kidding. What do you say we go and "educate" some bulls in 9 this weekend??

Thumpin
 
I was just up in AZ unit 9 this past weekend and heard a little bit of bugling. I'm guessing they should be starting up quite a bit within this next week or so. As for others going up there and calling bulls in and filming and such, well isn't it their right to be there? I have an archery bull tag and I'm not overly concerned with someone screwing up my hunt. Bottom line, I have to do the work that it takes to find a bull and then make a good shot. If anyone is going to screw that up, its going to be me! I personally understand if anyone is out there before, during, or after my hunt. I mean who knows, maybe they will be the lucky ones who draw the tag next year and this time out there will then pay off for them! I mean it is after all the best time of year to see what bulls are out there and what they are doing! And I do just trust that anyone who is out there scouting and such would have the common courtesy to get out of a hunter's way if they are chasing a bull.
 
Well those dates are about right for most of western states, but there are a lot of factors other than cool weather that dictates the rut. For example, moisture is a big one for cows going into esterus, length of days is another etc....


Good luck yall!!1
 
Hey AZ Bowhunter - you're right, my other half just called, he's up there as we speak and they are bugling in 9, all the way to 8:30a Good luck with the hunt, you have the tag by yourself or did you buddy app it??
 
Sorry Guys I dozed off! Never said we were hunting in unit 9 this year, only that we had run into camera men in hunting there in years past. We have taken several large archery bulls in 9.
By calling them in. Don't leave notes , believe in first man on water its his.Rackem406's like a big bull that sounded off and I read his post. And this big bull responded in his old cantankerous mood. For that I apologize to Rackem406 not of fear for there is not a man in shoe leather I fear but for the sake of THE COMMUNITY . This Big Bull will move on:)>>>>>>>>>>>>>
SirRoyal
 
Rackem406 be careful, sounds like sirroyal is starting to rut and he likes nuts!
 
Sirroyal,
Since you're backing off does that mean I get the cows???:7

No problem man. The rut gets to us all and it got to me when I was being told I was going to be arrested out there. And don't fear any man in shoe leather, but fear the guy walking in the woods barefoot with size 15's.

I have hunted unit 9. Once I talked to the Game and Fish dude he said that there are people out calling who do not have a tag. At that point if I had a bull going or I heard on going off I pressure that bull. I could care less if there was anyone on that bull as you would not know if that person was some friend, Family with tag or just fool. I did this about 5 times unitl I finally ran into a hunter and guide with a valid tag. I had mine at the ready and I made them show it before I let off as they had the bull going before me. The game and fish guy want me to point out everyone who did not approach me. He did go after them... He also checked them for any little thing. He really pressured them so they would leave the area.
 
Just when it was getting good, Hunting season comes along and changes everything. Pull a chair and enjoy the show, LMAO
 
The elk we hunt are wild no one owns them so free for the calling. Man people like you are who we want to leave in the cities, Thought the question was have you heard any bulls bugle this year. Not to listen to you fill the pages with crap. What makes you any better than the other people hunting, why would you think someone else should get hassled because they have a tag for the same area? Sounds like you just have baby temper tantrums. Get over it grow up or go play with your momma

I was in the N. Idaho mountains for the last 3 1/2 days and didn't hear a single bugle...it was brutal. If I was in my normal spot in MT I would have heard a good number...different elk I guess.

Bullhunter, I'll be a little west of ya on the Musselshell come the 22nd!

Good Luck!

Ernie
 
not going hot and haevy here got one to bugle and some cows to talk but by next weekend i think they will start.
 
Just got back from area 100 in Wyoming. The bulls were still in large bachelor groups, and the cows were in groups of 50 to 300+. Saw only 1 bull that showed any rut behavior. Never heard a bugle.
 
Our group was in Wyoming (Wyoming Range) taking back in our camp (I had honeydo's and stayed home :( ) and they heard nothing. Sounds like they aren't very rutty in Wyo. yet.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-05-06 AT 01:41PM (MST)[p]We were in unit 39 in Idaho for the long weekend for a scouting trip. This is a new area for us, so we wanted to see what was in the area for our hunt in November. Heard one bugle on Sunday Morning and that was it all weekend. We were told by the lady who owns the market in Prairie that they were really vocal just a couple weeks ago, but the wolves have quieted them down. I didn't know what to make of the wolf situation just by reading message board material, but am seeing that they are out there. Ran across some large tracks yesterday morning with what looked like to us a male and a female walking down the road. Now I know to keep my eyes peeled come our hunt.

But this isn't about wolves :) First time out hearing the bugles, so 1 was good for me :)
 
I was in 751 Sunday and Monday and heard nothing.My brother was with his bunch up around Dunton near Lizardhead and they didn't hear anything either.
 
Was in Eastern Oregon over the weekend and the bulls were talking pretty good. MY buddy ended up shooting a 35" spike, so not a bad weekend.
 
AZ, Why do you talk about people like that? I'm a passive homosexual elk hunter. When I'm out in the woods I hope that I will run across many hunters. I love wooly men that smell like blood and campfire. Sometimes I play with my bugle when I watch other hunters in my spotting scope. Would like to be my hunting partner. It sounds like you know how to handle yourself in the woods. Do you ever get hard when bulls come in with piss dripping off there chest? Love Cowhole
