I was in north central Colo this past 5 days and there was quite a bit of talk, cows and bulls. One large group had 30+ cows/calves with one larger bull, the rest of what I saw were smaller group of cows with smaller spikes and rags.

Bulls are very tight lipped, and very little day time elk activity. We’ve had pretty hot day and night time temps.

Herd bulls with cows opening day, good bugling….that is until the guys with the high pitched bugle horns started! Then they just chuckled and grunted so they couldn’t hear them! See it every year here in co!! Let them get going on their own:) went 1 for 3 opening week!!!

Heard bugles every day for the last four days in Western MT. All the bulls are still in the herds together tolerating one another. All the bugles are very short and half-hearted.

Not a peep on opening day in north central WY, but judging by sign, or lack of it, they weren't in the same area I was in anyway.

Only bugling bulls I've heard in CO Unit 500 this week is on Michigan Hill......in between the houses. I've heard a few half-hearted bugle attempts near Jefferson Hill and that's it. Wallows look unwallowed in.

five days after this pic was taken, this bull showed up 20 yards from my hide and bugled right in my face on 9/15,. A well placed arrow ended all of that. My First bugle of the season and his last.

Sitting in the house with the windows open. About every 2 minutes I hear a bugle. In between bugles there are cows that are mewing. One bull has to be about 50 yds. away, others are further. I think that this is what they call mountain music. (AZ)
