I have had a close but no cigar season. I called in a 6x6 early in the season that hung up out of range. I have been close to cows several times but could never get a shot. The last herd I was close to had a good 6x7 bull in it. I never had a chance at him. His lead cow almost took an arrow. If she would have taken two more steps she would have been in the open & broadside. They winded me & bolted out of there. I will go out thursday & try my luck one last time for the season.
I have had 12-close encounters with elk this season. I hope 13-is a lucky number for me next time?
