Yea, the latest I’ve been up there has been the 24th and they were obviously fired up. I’ve heard some years the spike hunt is very quiet.They are generally still going during muzz deer hunt
Same same! There has been better dates in years past, still thrilled about it.I'm looking forward to it personally with my muzzy LE tag in my pocket this year.
Good to know, I was getting nervous with the later dates.They were still herded up and rutting mid November last year!
Thanks man!!Congrats on the tag. Good luck.
Yep, this is exactly what I was referring to. Obviously on a traditional year it wouldn’t be a question. Has me nervous nervous!They should still be going, but this year everything's starting earlier than normal. Usually the bulls shed velvet the week of the bow opener. This year most shed the first week of august. They're already rutting up, when you usually see it around the 1st-2nd week of september. Archery guys are finally going to have a chance at rutting bulls through the entire hunt.
Thank you for your update!!!! I’ll be back up there for 7 days before the hunt.Nothing talking where I was this weekend
Awesome, much appreciated!!!I live in that unit and when it comes to elk in my unit, DBLung knows what he's talking about. Im going up tonight to see what we can see/hear and I'll let you know how it's looking if we get into/hear the elk.
Thanks for the update!!!Saw about 40 elk, lots of 2 or 4 in groups, one group of 20 not a single bull and not a single bugle this past weekend
AhhahI Did Hear Some Bugles over the Weekend!
One Came out of a Truck Window!
And The Other Bugles I heard Was Seconds After a Side X Side Was Shut Off!
About 10 Bugles Mixed With Some HOOCHIE Mama's!
All Happened Within 2 Minutes!
Then The Side X Side Fired Back Up!
JUDAS!
Thanks for the updateWe seen a descent heard of cows and young bulls this last weekend. They were talking a bit, but not much action yet.
Thanks Two point, itching to get up in a few weeks!I hunted an area on Monday and Tuesday and no bugles but there were bulls in the area so it was not country void of elk with no bugles.
Love the updates, thanks and I hope if you have a tag in your pocket that big things happen.A bull put a few bugles out this morning.
I have a tag in a neighboring unit. I’m heading back out tomorrow to see what is happening.Love the updates, thanks and I hope if you have a tag in your pocket that big things happen.
So you have a stand close to the Manti unit where you can hear elk? You right on a highway or something? Can't think of many areas along Hwy 6, 89, 10 or I-70 where there's decent hunting both sides of the road.A bull put out about 10 bugles last night before dark across the canyon from my stand. Nothing crazy but a few are think about what is coming.
