RE: Elk Rut
PaLuke,
I have never hunted elk in Idaho before, however here in Colorado the elk rut is concluded by late October. I have found that the peak isaround the third week in September. Bugling is at its highest point alot of times around the middle of September. It is an amazing experience, calling in a thousand pound bull elk from the ground, who comes in thrashing and slobbering everywhere after stalking him for miles! Totally awesome! Good luck to you and your son!
