Typical Elk rutting period in southeast Idaho
I'm looking for some advice on the elk rut in southeast Idaho. I'm flying in to hunt with my brother for one week there and want to get some advice from those that hunt or live there as to timing. The legal hunt period is from Sep. 1 to Oct. 1 but I have to narrow down to a week. I'm assuming the later in the month the better the chance the rut is in full swing and I'll be safe. I'm worried though, that if rutting starts late August or around the first, by the 20th or so, they may be cooling off from the first cycle or may be scattered all to hell. I'd love to hear from someone who lives, hunts, or works there about their experience with previous year's ruts. Thanks.
