I hope you are right about the bulls still bugleing for the opening of rifle season. I'm flying in Saturday for a 7 day pack in trip out of Lewiston on my first elk hunt. I had figured the rut would be over and the bulls silent, that would be so cool to hear elk bugle.
Just hearing and seeing elk would make my trip 90% worthwhile, of course it wouldn't hurt to actually put one down
