Watch now
Lingering bugles at first light. Mixed groups start to settle. Intensity drops after most cows are bred.
Bulls are thin and hungry. Food plots and open feeding edges matter more than wallows now.
Antler
Hard racks, worn. A few late fights over late-cycling cows into early November.
Hard-rack season now. Velvet work was April–August on the Antler Growth cams — Part 3 and the July 22 overlays. Bulls will drop a lot of condition through peak; plots help them recover after.

What drives each species
Field pattern for northeast Wyoming, checked against timed clips on this ranch.
Elk
Cool dawn and dusk, 30–90 minutes around sunrise
Elk bed through midday heat and step out on the thermal. Light and temperature beat moon phase on this range.
Look for movement below about 60°. Wind over 15 mph puts them in timber.
On the ranch: Day · 4 AM · 19 timed
Deer
Late night into first light
Mule deer feed after dark and hang toward dawn. Cover and wind on the ridges matter more than the thermometer.
Calm, cool nights. A hard wind on open ground keeps them bedded.
On the ranch: Day · 4 PM · 23 timed
Pronghorn
Daylight on open prairie
They hunt with their eyes and feed through the day on sage and shortgrass, then shade up in real heat.
Heat-tolerant compared with deer; they still loaf hard above the 80s. Wind is a weaker limiter.
On the ranch: Day · 8 AM · 3 timed
Bears
Morning feed — food over the clock
Late summer they go hyperphagic. Berries, insects, and a carcass beat the sunrise table. Morning feeding is the usual pattern.
Cool mornings. Rain after a dry stretch can move them onto new forage. First hard freeze starts denning.
On the ranch: Day · 10 AM · 40 timed
Turkey
Dawn fly-down from the roost
Birds hit the ground at first light, feed the morning, loaf midday, and fly up at dusk. That roost timing is the most reliable clock on the ranch.
They sit out heavy rain and strong wind. Light rain after a dry spell puts them on insects.
On the ranch: Night · 10 PM · 7 timed
Bobcat
Solitary hunt at the edges of night
Bobcats work cover and game trails alone. Most hits are a single cat moving through sage, not a daylight loaf.
Cool, still nights. They use the same trails as rabbits and deer fawns.
On the ranch: Night · 2 AM · 10 timed
Coyote
Night and the first hour of light
Pairs and singles cruise roads and tank dams after dark. Daylight travel is usually a cross-country push, not feeding.
They move in weather that shuts other species down, including wind.
On the ranch: Night · 4 AM · 3 timed
Eagle
Daylight soaring and a perched hunt
Golden eagles work the buttes and tanks by eye. A bird on the ground is often on a carcass or a prairie dog town.
Clear, thermal days. Strong wind on the ridges helps them stay up.
On the ranch: 2 timed — not enough to name a peak.
Porcupine
Night in the timber and around trees
Slow, nocturnal. They feed on bark and buds and den in rock or a hollow. Daylight clips are usually a tree sit.
Not heat-driven. Look for them after dark in the draws.
On the ranch: Day · 10 PM · 6 timed
Other
Unclassified ranch traffic
Cattle, people, toads, empty night triggers, and clips not yet reviewed from the video.
Night hits often line up with the cool-down after sunset.
