We give the bull a little bit and make our way to where he was standing during the shot. It was extremely thick so we had someone stay where I shot from. Even then it was difficult to see him. The bull must have been in one of the only openings. My heart sank when we didn't find any blood. Me and Ron followed his tracks for a while. I looked down at my arm and it was covered in blood! I reached down to touch it and noticed a blue huckleberry stuck to my arm. $#!* it was huckleberry juice. Got my hopes up for nothing. All of the sudden Ron makes some funny sounding cow calls. I spot him and he is motioning me to come over to him. Please, Please have found him. He found the next best thing, Blood!! Both sides of the trail and pools down the center. Wasn't far from there and we found him. It was Leroy the satellite bull! He was a dandy and I was so relieved to have gotten a bull after so many close encounters. Guess I'll have to remember where Lunker is for the future. He got away this time! Anyways thanks to everyone who helped. It was by far my best elk season with all of my buddies. Here is pic of my bull with the crew. I can't resize it on the computer I'm on at deer camp so maybe someone can for me. Thanks,
Matt
