Bugling should be over. You might hear a few at sunrise but I wouldn't count on it although it seems like the rut has been starting later up in unit 53/55.
as you know there are only two places to camp in the Vidal. You don't have to go far from camp ground to find elk. If the rut is over just...

Don't road hunt get out and do a little hiking deer should be on back side of ridges where road hunters can't see them.
Good luck

Leaving October 9th. Had awful time last year. We went the last 10 days of the bow season (9/12-9/22). They were not doing anything. The year before during the same time it was better they would bugle but not come to our calls...
Can you direct me to the sage flats so I can go scout it out. I have not heard about any sage flats in this unit unless you are talking about the main road/highway leading to Colorado?
Thanks for your help.
Where do you guys suggest I start looking. I will probably skip the opening weekend because of all the labor day campers but will be up there the last 10 days or so of the hunt.
Thanks,
Bob
