Well if it was anything like the manti, the rut is off to a late start. This is probably due to the erratic weather. I've never seen the elk this quiet by the end of the limited entry archery hunt. They were bugling a somewhat on the manti but they weren't too fired up. They would call but they weren't concerned about actually moving or chasing cows. Bummer too cuz this happened to be the year I finally drew a LE archery tag.
