RE: Mid October Elk Hunting Techniques?
I hunted 4 days last week here in Southeastern Wyoming. I heard 3 bugles, no responses. I definitely think it is in the very post rut as every bull I saw was alone. The groups of cows had no bulls with them except a spike here and there. I usually sit on meadows in the first couple hours of the morning and then walk a few hours of the morningas well. Produced about 150 elk in a few days. I do not hunt elk after about 10am. I don't like pushing them all over the place.
If you hunt where there is a lot of pressure you may see elk all day long as they get pushed.
