This is very true! Last year was talking to people who weren’t hearing bulls at all and we. We’re in screaming bulls every day for first season. Hell first season had more bulls bugling in my son’s unit than second season, bulls were already broken missing antlers by September 1st.I've hunted that unit once for elk and twice for deer all rifle and scouted a few times in Sept.
IMO, the 7500-8500' band and water is where it's at for that time of year. Lot's of people on that hunt but lots of room to spread out plus two weeks means very few people at times.
Ya we have had great bugling action two years in a row on the first hunts but on the other side of the state. Hoping we encounter the same kind of action but we shall see, like you said, get where the elk aren’t bothered. Lucky for me it’s only a 2 hour drive to the mountain so I’ll be up there most of the summer with the kiddos scouting, camping and fishing.This is very true!

Get where the elk are not bothered and they’ll be singing. A lot easier said than done.
Now that’s a killer situation to be in! Can’t beat that!Ya we have had great bugling action two years in a row on the first hunts but on the other side of the state.
