Know a guy with an Archery Any Bull Tag. Sat. (grouse opener) while sitting on a water hole, he arrowed a 300 +/- six point. Sometimes arrows take awhile to work their best effect right? Well, his buddies had a vantage point, and watched this elk trail his cows. It got a ways away into a stand of trees and all hell broke lose. Lots of gun blasts. Seems it ran into some grouse hunters? Maybe it was coincidence that they happened to flush a bunch of grouse at the same time these elk entered their same area? Shall we give them that? End result is that it really got the elk moving, they were never able to find it. Now, whoever finds this elk dead on whatever later hunt, not kowing all the story, will gripe and moan that archery hunters lose too many animals.
They called the Game warden he said since they couldn't prove they were shooting at the elk, he couldn't do anything. After trailing this animal for hours they ran into some aquantances that speculated it was the bull they saw (seemed to have something wrong with it)miles away from where they were looking. I know that Superman could have got over there and started to trail again, but this guy isn't superhuman. The Bull was still keeping up with it's cows (if it really was the same one)and after getting booed like that, they can go forever! Sad story, what do you think?
Greed and thoughtless actions -biggest threat to hunting I can think of?!
