I've got a question for those of you that get to hunt rutting bulls on a regular basis. Last month I was in AZ with my brother for an archery bull hunt. For about the first week the bulls were extremely quiet, no bugles at all. When they started bugling they were going crazy bugling until about 8:30 in the morning. They did this for about three days and then they went quiet again.Do they start and stop rutting? Is this normal behavior? This was just the beginning of the rut and the bulls didn't have many cows herded up yet.
Thanks for any info.
