    Elk rut

    Can anyone tell me when the elk start to rut and the duration particuarily in the Okanagan area? Curious as to whether or not bugling is still effective at this time in the season or whether the rut has just ended or is close to ending.

    Guess there is only one way to find out!! If you are in an area that holds elk, let out some calls and see if you get any responses. I don't think it's too late yet.

    2nd estrous should be firing up in about 6-10 days, they'll be active again then if they arent now.
    They're screaming on the island right now.
