2025 Bugle Report

North central Wyoming - getting more rutty but not quite there yet. Definitely bugling. Curious to see how it goes when I’m back down there Wed - Sun.

Had one bull go off at 9am and went back and forth with him for a good 10 minutes to pin point where he was. Went in silent and let a few cow calls, and he came in trotting in silently. Bull was shot shortly after.

Had another bull going off that same evening around 6pm while packing out meat. Lots of cows all by themselves still, as I bumped 3 different cow/ calf that same day.

First week in MT was spotty. Couple afternoons they were really fired up, rest of the week was pretty quiet. We went 3 for 3 on bulls. One never made a peep, one bugled exactly once, and the last did the whole dog and pony show. Good luck to everyone still chasing bugles.

I went bear hunting last night and had 3 bulls come out on a hillside a few hundred yards away. 2 5 points, and a 6 point, all fairly nice bulls, no cows, just those 3 bulls. They fed around for over an hour together like it was post rut and made they're way into the timber over towards water, never made a noise, just eating like there was no tomorrow.
It was weird, Southern Wyoming.

North Idaho yesterday two bulls going off inside of 100 yds. Buddy was set up waiting and them going for 20 minutes. Two guys heard us, they moved in and I saw one of them at 100 yds he saw me. They then tried to skirt us, blew some crappy elk calls, made a racket and poof both bulls moved off like ghosts.

They're probably from Louisiana. Sorry, no relation to me.

Hunted Northern NM all last week and heard 3 bugles

Just to piggy back Drrice hunted Northern NM 5 days. One lazy bugle (he ended up winding me) 1st 4 days. Got into a good group Saturday am. Was pretty awesome until about 8.15. Unfortunately wasn't able to hunt yesterday.
