Colorado Rut Timing This year?

[rockymountainjk]

Elk fanatics, I’m curious what everyone’s experience was this September in CO as far as peak rut. I hunted units 36 and 371 1st, 2nd, and last week of the season. I heard more bugles the first week then the second, and more the second than currently this week, but I’m still finding mature bulls with small herds. What was your experience this month? Thx!

Depends on what part of the state you are in. The northern part will usually start a little before the southern area because of the weather.
