Is anyone hearing bugles yet?

So are you guys hearing bugles in the woods yet? Make sure you list what state and general area.

South West Idaho, they are starting to bugle.

It's getting to be that time of the year... Good luck to everyone and stay safe!

FYI - Nothing heard in central WY yet.

A friend showed me video of elk bugling and FIGHTING (not just sparring) three weeks ago in Western CO! :shock: I was surprised to see them hard-horned. Small bulls for what it's worth.

Hunted deer this morning in central CO and heard about a dozen little contact bugles. Had a lil bull come by the deer blind. Good luck to all!
