This year was my first year elk hunting. I hunted the Sept 21-27d between Steamboat Springs and Walden, CO. We heard some bugling but mostly only in the morning and late evening. Everyone hunting the area was claiming it was a late rut and that the Aspen's had not started changing either.
Did anyone else experience this and believe it was a late rut? If so, was this the general feel for most of the west of a regional dilemma?
