HOW TO FIND RUTTING BULLS | STOP CHASING BUGLES START KILLING ELK | 🎙️ EP. 45
Description
Rutting bulls aren’t random—they’re anchored to cows, and cows are anchored to food. If you’ve ever chased fading bugles or watched a hot basin go silent overnight, this episode connects the dots. I break down why nutrition drives September movement, how cow groups “lock” bulls into predictable patterns, and the exact places to find reliable feed when pressure and weather shift the game.
What you’ll learn:
The truth about rutting bulls (and the myths that waste your time)
How food dictates daily travel: night feed → dawn transition → bedding → evening feed
Where to find September groceries: alpine meadows, riparian pockets, north-facing benches, fresh burns
How pressure pushes cows into hidden “living-room sized” feed and how to set up on those seams
Morning intercepts, evening ambushes, and when calling helps vs. hurts around food
Perfect for DIY public-land hunters who want a repeatable plan—no more chasing echoes, just hunting where elk actually live.
