Just got back from unit 76 in SW Colo and
the bulls are going full go. Been filming
in one basin and 1000 elk are running
together with about 100 bulls. Getting a bugle
every 1-2 seconds morning and evenings and
they talk all day at about 10% that rate. Only
a few are dirty. Bulls mounting cows with a
erection but no cows are allowing penetration.
I figure about 3 more days for penetration.
Filming 1 fight per day.A 340 showed 2 days
ago and never got near the herd.Then walked the
opposite direction and left over a ridge.
Very dry and still up at 12-13000 feet. Storm
may arrive late Sunday so going right back
in now and back out Sunday. Roy in Montrose
