Only 1 week in Sept, which week is your $$$ on?

[Elkrookie#9]

If you could only pick one week in Sept to tag a bull, which one would you choose and why? Let's also say Colorado to be a little more specific.

Your best chance is probably whatever week you go...

I'll take the second week this year.

During muzzleloading season. If you aren't wearing orange and going BOOM, elk won't even recognize you as a hunter.

I always prefer the first week because there isn’t much hunting pressure...especially when it’s warm. Two years ago I actually had to hike back to the ATV trail to get on elk. Ended up shooting a bull 300 yards from a big annual wall tent camp. Nobody was home but the elk were.

If you think your success is about your timing and not your tactics (how you hunt, where you go on a micro level, etc) then I’m not too worried about what week you choose even if you’re in my area

Jokes aside, Elk101 and go hunt just did in depth articles on this, google em “when to hunt elk 2019”. Here to tell your odds won’t change much by selecting a certain week though

4th week for me this year. Hopefully with the full moon in the middle of the month, they'll still be getting after it at the end of September.

They don't disappear then reappear. They are always SOMEWHERE. Best week is the week you are there.

I've hunted CO three different weeks in Sept. now and I've never hit the peak bugling season yet. One of those weeks, just as we were leaving, the bull started screaming their heads off. The other two weeks we were a week late and a week early. Go figure.

Just go.

If I were going in blind I'd go the 3rd week this year. I've always had the most bugling on the 19, 20, and 21 of September and I love to talk to the elk.

 

[Roughwater]

The 15th or later.

 

[Catahoula]

Second week for those that can only spend a week.

 

[SuperDUECE22]

Fall equinox is the 23rd and most cows get bred within a 8-10 day period of this date, although this can be a very tough time to kill the herd bull

7th through the 14th

 

[BWG13]

7th through the 14th

Those are the exact dates I'll be out and about here in NM. Not really by choice, but because of the hunt I drew. Can't wait!

 

[LongWayAround]

I took the second week off work.

Three days over the opener, plus nine, plus two more weekends equals sixteen days to poke three critters. We'll see what shakes out...

I've been going later but with two long weekend hunts the beginning of October, I opted for early season.

 

[Dos Perros]

In Colorado I'd go either before the muzzy guys or well after whatever they effed up is somewhat better.

15th through the 22nd. Should be full on bugle fest then.
