This is my first year hunting in Utah and I was wondering how long does the rut usually go for. I got into some bulls today on one of the extended hunt areas. Just want to know how much time I have to be able to call them in. Came close today but nicked a branch.
 
LAST EDITED ON Sep-17-11 AT 08:36PM (MST)[p]from what i have saw the rut is just really getting going. should still have a few weeks to call them
 
I killed my bull last year on october 6th, he was bugelin like crazy and i called him in with cow calls
 
I'm hunting the any bull hunt, do you think the rut will be going when that hunt starts (oct 8th)?
 
with the rut do they usaually turn it off for a little while if it is to warm. On saturday they were fired up had five bulls bugling and then that was it after 1200 pm nothing. I went out the following afternoon and nothing. Saw 1 bull and couldnt get an answer. Not sure what to do. I know it should pick up but when?
 
Yes, the bulls will be fired up one day and not the next. They will turn back on again, could be tomorrow, could be next week. There is no crystal ball to the "when" question, you just have to get back out there as much as possible until they turn it back on again.

If it is hot, they rut at night and early mornings late evenings. etc...
