Bugle activity: Friday morning was decent, some bugles but shut down around 7:45am. Friday evening was crickets, not one bugle. Saturday morning was pretty quiet, only 2-3 bugles all morning. Saturday evening had 2-3 bugles. Sunday morning was a bit better, but still relatively quiet. Behavior: Elk were still herded up with big groups with many bulls in each herd. Bugling was pretty quiet and was not getting any response to calls (cow or bugle). They just seemed to be bugling randomly to let others know where they were. Saw a few bachelor herds with 3-5 6x6 bulls. This all tells me they're still tolerating each other and not quite fired up yet. When they get tired of each other and separate, game on.

Anyone hear bugling yet? I’ll be heading up to 5BS this week and wanted to get a rut report.

Another day... Another day...

Another day...

Looks like it’s not today. Ugh.

Any reports from 5BS?

Dang, snagged them that far off the tank. That's brutal. I've got some on those same tanks locked up, hopefully they're safe.

Dang, hopefully they didn't take mine? Were yours locked up?

I figured they'd still be bugling, which should increase the enjoyment factor! I'm way excited for her. Almost as excited as I am about my archery bull tag.

Awesome! I have the same tag. I had it in 2017 as well and pulled a nice 320-330" bull. I was in there last weekend and there is water everywhere. Feed looks great too. Should be a fun hunt with the dates pushed back a week too.

I have the same tag, Killed a nice bull in there in 2017. I'm a bit concerned what the muzzleloader hunt will do to the elk since it's the week before. That being said, roads suck!!!

My daughter pulled her first ever elk tag this year and it actually starts on her 10th birthday, 10/2. She pulled the unit 10 youth cow hunt and I don't know too much about the unit. I hunted archery cow in there just north of Williams several years ago and didn't see a whole lot. I'm thinking about hunting the big Bo since it's only $1 for the youth hunt. If anyone can provide some tips or help so we can get her some opportunities and make her first hunt a great experience it would be much appreciated.

I'm jealous. I've got the 5BS tag so it doesn't start until 9/18. Hopefully the muzzleloader hunt doesn't mess them up too much.

Tent is sold. Thanks for the interest.

My 10x14 Kodiak is definitely small when I set them up side by side. I still love the Kodiak though.
