The velvet is gone...

Hunting season opens here this coming weekend. I spent the last 2 days with my trail shoes and spotting scope, running into zones that have been juicy in years past. We've been having unseasonably cold & wet weather (snow up high) and I've been fearful that this would trigger an early rut.
Since 3AM on Saturday morning (when I left the house), to 3PM Sunday afternoon... I covered more than 500 miles in my truck visiting various points of interest and trying to get a consensus of what the elk were up to.
I wouldn't say the rut is cranking, but I did hear bugles.. and noted fresh rubs in some of my favorite honey holes. Not to mention watching this bull circling, sniffing, and screaming to his 20 cows.
Good luck this fall everyone!
