Thx, wish there was more of a story behind the hunt. Wind was howling all day and night, full moon, glassing turned up little. We went to old-school still hunting, walking and looking. It's amazing how these guys have you pegged long before you are in range. A guy in our party shot a coyote, went to check her out, bumped some elk, and that made his buck stand up - and that was it for him.

 

Mine, well, he made poor life decisions and chose to stand when he should have stayed bedded. I was checking out a new spot middle of the day and his cohort, a little forkie, decided to check out the commotion. I had him in my crosshairs thinking, "jerky buck" when this guy stood up.

 

Sometimes it's all about luck, and on this hunt, it was all about luck. Some of the country we hiked in and glassed, the sheer amount of experience and dissecting and falling back on years of experience, didn't pay off. And I'm talking very seasoned glassers in a unit we didn't know much about.
