Kind of... LOL. Heard lots of shooting.... seems we were just a ridge or 2 back.
From experience I can tell you that is usually teens emptying their magazines at running does. Or yahoos shooting baby bucks. That is all I've seen loaded on trucks and ATV's this season.

Sean,
The fella I was talking to said that there were bulls bugling up there that weekend. Can't believe it. Or was it a bunch of rednecks blowing their tubes?

I never heard a single bugle. Talked to a rancher who said a guy killed a 7x7 to the north of where I shot my moose.
I've heard bugling in Idaho once all season, about 3 weeks ago in the Big Holes up Patterson Creek. The elk coming down onto the National Wildlife Refuge in Jackson are bugling still.

Ain't it a bit late for bugling and a bit early for them to be headed to Jackson?
Yep! But they are heading down, herd bulls and harem, bugling away.
It's also 60F.out, sunny, not snowing and nearly November.

There's still Yellow Jackets and Wasps flying around. I hope it gets cold soon. Cow elk is going to be as tough as deer has been. I was in a t-shirt by 9:00 a.m. today.
My general deer, controlled whitetail doe and general bear tags are going to make quite the tag soup if I don't get a miracle tomorrow some time. I've hiked over 400mi. since I started scouting in August. I bet I've climbed over 120,000 vertical feet. I need to step on a scale.
Everyone I run into out there has the same expression and asks the same question "See anything? Man, it's hot." Then they say the same thing as we part ways, "I'm just trying to find a buck worth shooting."
I think when it hits 7:00 p.m. tomorrow I'll be relieved.
My afternoon grouse hunts with my dog have been great. Got to say that.
Good luck on your cow hunt. Hope for snow!
