Hey guys, I don't post a lot on here but I am seeking a little help. I am looking to get some input and opinions on the biggest influence in sparking the rut for elk. I have heard numerous times over the years that it's solely dependent on the moon phase yet find in my personal experience it's more driven by the temperature and weather. I put aside 2 weeks out of the year to chase elk in the backcountry and I am hoping the info provided helps me this year, so please feel free to share your experiences and info. Thanks
