WHERE SHOULD I HUNT ELK IN OCTOBER AFTER THE RUT? | EP. 257
Where do elk go in October after the rut winds down and the bulls seem to disappear?
In this episode, Matt Hartsky draws from 34 years of elk hunting and guiding experience to explain how elk behavior changes after September. He covers the transition into the post-rut, the factors that move mature bulls, and why productive rutting areas may suddenly stop holding the elk you’re trying to find.
If you’re planning an October rifle elk hunt, searching for post-rut bulls, or still finding cows but no mature bulls, this episode will help you understand what changed and where to focus next.
