RE: There Bugleing Here how bout were you are?
Talkin' don't always mean ruttin'. Elk are very vocal. Not to doubt you, but it's just as possible someone got some new elk calls and decided to practice in the woods.
I mean, it's barely August. I envy you hearing that. All I can say is here in S.E. Wyoming, they are still "quiet" and don't usually get riled 'till the first part of Sept on on into October some times.
