I would say for 99% of the elk it is over but you will see them sparing and pushing each other around for a few more weeks.  I watched two 6x6's last week pushing each other around for about a half hour until the smaller one decided that he had had enough and left the bigger bull alone.  Or was that the bigger bull decided to leave the smaller one alone.  Also the bulls were still sniffing the cows and checking them out but most of the cows would have nothing to do with them and went their own way.  Also in the last week I didn't see any bachlor heards but the bulls were still with the cows and the spikes were moving back into the heards.  At least they were that way in Utah last week.

Had a couple of guys that I know that just got back from a week in Utah.  Their hunt was last week, and they said they had 3 or 4 bulls bugling at each other one day, and another one going at it the next day.  Don't know if that's a regular thing to have happening in mid-Oct, but they even called their wives while the bugling was going on to prove it.

They were in SE Utah.......

I didn't hear anything while hunting the Sangre's last weekend but a lot of that might have been that I wasn't in a very good area.
