2 weeks and never saw a dang old elk! I did chase a bull through 6-8 inches of snow for almost 4 hours. Never saw him. He finally lost me. Snowing like a son of a gun. He'd been shot, but not bad. I was able to find blood often enough to follow his tracks when he cut and mixed with other tracks. Looked like a slight graze shot. Never stumbled or ran & never laid down. Dammit.
I think that I was relieved when he lost me. I was soaked & getting cold from him taking me through the snow covered reprod. The only part of me that was dry and warm were my feet.
We covered a lot of ground and could never find where the elk were moving. The ares that we were in have always held elk. Nothing moving through. That's hunting.
Home and tired....only 51 weeks until next season!
