Any Bugling?

Just checking to see if anyone has heard much bugling yet? I hunted in S. Colorado opening weekend and Central mountains (Summit CO and Vail) a couple days and haven't heard a peep yet. A friend was hunting around Yampa and said they'd been hearing bugles. Another friend heard bugles around Eagle 2 weekends ago. Hope they start up soon as I'm heading out for several days starting tomorrow.
 
Was just up in Grand Mesa National forest. Heard plenty of the "elk" sounding off. Then I saw several of the culprits. Hunters running around with bugle tubes. A couple of guys I watched were sneaking thru the meadows and about every 50 yds they would bugle until they got winded. I thought it was way too early for elk to be bugling much.
 
LAST EDITED ON Sep-05-16 AT 08:21PM (MST)[p]I was hoping to tag a turkey, Saturday was Wet and stormy, the bulls I heard bugling were mid day, which surprised me as early season they are usually very early or late. perhaps the nasty weather put a burr under their hides.

I didn't see a single turkey but I saw about ten head of elk including one middling five point bull.

Steve I saw you called, I will call you back some time this week, we just got back from the hills.
 
I didn't see a single turkey up there either.
But I did see 2 bears that had been harvested!

Oh ya and 2 nice bulls from far away while glassing. Both were somewhat vocal.
 
I just hunted from Sat till this morning and heard my first bugle this morning. Unfortunately he found me before I found him! All reports I'm hearing from others are that the bugling has been non-existant so far. Gotta start soon!
