We couldn't believe he had missed that first shot. I thought for sure he hit her from her reaction and my reaction on video. We got up there and no sign of anything.
This elk was actually taken in Nine Mile canyon. I live in Price and had been up looking for cows about 7 times before this hunt started. I found this herd because I knew where to look from previous years experience. I watched the herd for a couple days on private land and they finally crossed on to some public before we decided to go after them. We are young and foolish so we hiked our tails off to get her which 90% of the Nine Mile cow elk hunters won't do. They aren't always by the roads. We usually hunt Harmon and the main canyon. I've only spent about 30 minutes up in Cottonwood but I think I will spend more time up there as I have heard the elk numbers are usually better there than Harmon.
