DesertDiesel Report post Posted August 26, 2008 I've made a handful of scouting trips and my hunting buddy has as well, neither of us have seen bulls with cows yet. Have any of you had any luck finding bulls with cows yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azhunter23 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 I saw a few raghorns hanging out with the cows this weekend. But all of the other bulls I spotted seemed to be alone already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunter4life Report post Posted August 27, 2008 I saw a 320'ish 6x6 with 11 cows last weekend. He was bugling and chasing the cows around. I thought it was a little early for this activity, but obviously that bull didn't think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagstaff Report post Posted August 27, 2008 just got back from the north side of the Peaks - spotted 7 bulls in a bachelor group - no cows. Biggest bull was in the 360 range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Saw four groups of elk Monday evening above Greer. One had 75-80 cows and calves, some of them very small. One group had five bulls, all 6x6s, but nothing outstanding. The two other herds had maybe a dozen cows and calves each. Suspect it will be a couple of weeks before the bulls get serious about gathering harems. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4Falls Report post Posted August 27, 2008 A buddy of mine saw a very good bull with some cows standing in the roundabout in front of Home Depot in Payson the other nite. Not sure that really means anything though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted September 1, 2008 It's 8:52 pm and I heard bugling outside my cabin a few minutes ago. I suspect he is courting a small harem in the meadow across the road, but it's too dark to know for sure. The rut isn't in full swing yet, in my opinion. A friend watched a herd with about 30 cows and calves for 45 minutes this morning, and there wasn't a bull in sight, he said. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ultramag Report post Posted September 2, 2008 I was in 5a this weekend the smaller bulls are with the cows. I heard some bugles in the mornings and at dark, get ready its close I think the rut this year is going to be very good for the bow hunters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
