I ALMOST got a bull. Here’s what happened:

I was walking at the spot, when I saw 3 other hunters coming towards me. While continuing to walk towards them, they put their weapons, which were two muzzleloaders and a bow, up quickly. Then I heard the elk running away at full speed. They signaled me, and said, “He is heading towards you! Run back and get him!”

I entered what I call “pursuit mode,” and ran back. After twenty minutes of all four of us looking, we couldn’t find him.

We then all met up, and talked about what happened. We all agreed that we lost him and decided not to pursue, mainly because of the wind direction. The elk could smell us easily.

It was still fun, though. A nice team effort.
