I can probably make it up for one more weekend of Elk hunting until it closes on the 20th.
Which dates would you go if you had time off, when do you find the most action in Oct?

No expert but just after thanksgiving up here a second rut kicks in, I know people with luck that week. Also in 7a the season closes on October 9, I think you can put 2 and 2 together. Good luck man. Day 4 for me this week. Almost had one on Monday, they’re getting tough to call unless you’re right on them. Cowed up and seemingly quiet , only vocals I’ve heard is a chuckle with only exhale sounds.

I've seen mature bulls with cows right into mid November. Trail cam pics over the years show cruising bulls up to Halloween

Right around Thanks Giving the bulls are cruising and its the second rut or so.

You too! On the 17th I called one in and had my crosshairs on his vitals. He had 3 broken tines on his only visible to me side of rack. After a standoff waiting for him to turn his head and him being a 7 on that side then moving just behind cover as I was literally about to pull the trigger. Stalked to him and were calling back and forth, then 40-50 yards away wind switched and bye bye. So close, almost had my first ElkOriginally Posted by RackStar

For sure, if I wasn't so broke I would be up every weekend until the 20th but just can not afford to this year

Move buddy, and get a better job in a town that has elk near it!

Good luck, I called in a big 6pt September 3. Had him broadside at 80 yards. (Bow) got him to come in but at 50y same story. Wind changed.
also had one come in silent yesterday chuckling with his breath only, I was walking a cut line and I figured he made me and snuck off.
Hoping to connect before work starts again on Monday
