DO ELK STILL BUGLE IN OCTOBER? | EP. 254
Do elk still bugle in October, or does the mountain go quiet when September ends?
In this episode, Matt Hartsky draws from 34 years of elk hunting and guiding experience to explain what hunters should expect from bull elk after the peak rut. He examines October bugling, late-rut behavior, hunting pressure, calling, and how to respond when a bull gives you only one clue to his location.
If you’re planning an October rifle elk hunt, wondering whether bugling can still help you locate bulls, or trying to hunt elk after the main rut, this episode will help you set realistic expectations.
