No I was just up there, some of the bulls are still in velvet and some are not... no bugling yet, but it wont be too much longer.

I was on Trail Ridge last weekend (Alpine Visitor Center) and there was a whole lot of bugling going on. A couple of the bigger bulls were chasing the little guys away from their harems. I don't know if the rut has officially started, but if not, it's close.

Some activity will be starting but not the serious stuff. The larger Bulls usually go into action around the 3rd week in September. My best shooting is usually around the end of September and first week of October when the crowds and the park staff have settled down.
Of course an early cold snap could get things going earlier.

Thanks all I 'spose I am just stoked, was talking to my friend up in Breck who is a shooter last evening and he was saying that the Aspens are turning pretty heavily up there already
