In my scouting this year I have found an area that has lots of food, water and sits on a bench on top of a north facing timbered slope. Lots of sign around the water and I see cows and calves every time ive been in the area. this is in an area that's a 1.5 mile hike in. I know that this area will get some pressure during the season. Im thinking the bulls should show up as the rut starts gets closer. When should I expect the bulls to start showing up. If this area gets a decent amount of pressure will they still show up? I have the ability to hunt during the week so im hoping this will help. This is in Idaho panhandle area.
