Need an update: anyone know if the elk are bugling in any of these areas? I was in unit 23 last week, still very hot and it was quiet. Im sure it will be another late rut.
 
Sporadic talk in 21A. Was able to get bulls to respond to locator bugles every day fortunately but not really talking on their own.
 
Any updates on 16B guys? Covered 12 miles on horseback on the east side of the unit on Sat and another 9 miles on the north side of the unit on Sunday. I have already decided from summer scouting trips, I'm not going into the west side of the unit. It's just too nasty with deadfall from the fires to risk hurting my horse and mule. Didn't hear a single bugle either day, but did talk to several different camps back in there and everyone seemed to be having a very difficult hunt with high temps and full moon phase. Any updates would be much appreciated.
 
Unit 23 was quite all second hunt, hot and dry, little to no bugling. I only saw 4 elk in 6 days. It was by far the most disappointing elk archery hunt i have had.
