AZ bulls talking yet? 9/16

[MJB]

My buddy is in Unit 60 lots of wind today so not surprised they aren't talking hopefully after dark the wind calms down and they start bulging!

Wish I was there........

Got here a week before season, been bugling their heads off since day one.
Wind app says 36mph.

Mongollon rim, Sept 5 I got return bugles on most calls. Ive heard they have been quite active these last couple nights.

I skimmed through social media the archery hunt seems to be struggling this year. It’s warming back up, Flagstaff is going to hit the 80’s before Friday. Curious how the early rifle hunts will do

@canyonhunter47 That's the general feedback that I have heard as well

I was west of Flagstaff below Williams, and it was 82 degrees as I finished my hunt and driving out.

It was hot and hard. The elk were not talking much at first, but started more about the 19th. We didn’t get return bugles most of the time. They never came to a call, but would move a little faster if you called to them it seemed. Bugles or cow calls.

The rut picked up the last few days as more cows went into estrus. The full moon had something to do with it too I am sure. We hiked a couple mornings with no headlamps before sunrise as we followed elk moving to bedding.

It was huntable if you worked, but dang my body aches.

I’m hoping it’s good a week from Friday
