Many times especially when doing early scouting for elk in July, Aug. & early Sept. we'll hear a few bugles here & there, sometimes they can really get to singing. Many immediately feel it's bulls they're hearing when in fact in many situations it's Cows Bugling. It's really cool to see them do this, it sorta puts a smile on our faces when witnessed!
Why do they bugle? Can we use this as part of our hunting strategy? You bet we can, it's just another overlooked tool that can help punch that elk tag! The subject can be discussed here or it can be studied by those with the ElkNut App. It's covered pretty well on it & its uses, There's some good early season stragies on it as well imitating cow bugles, why & when!
Who has seen or feel what they heard was a cow bugling, it's a cool sight!
Here's two clips of Cows Bugling, check these two out!
