I've heard so many of those stories, enough to know I'll never get up to go to the bathroom without taking my gun with me.  I've never seen one at that moment but once I was getting to find a spot and happened to see deer coming through the trees at 80 yds.  Sat back down and  picked a tree far enough away so that by the time the first one got to me (almost on top of me) I would already have checked for a legal buck.  Eight muley does came by and not one buck, they did not see me until within 10 feet and then all heck broke loose.  It was pretty cool.  I don't know if you can shoot while going to the bathroom or not and I hope I'll never have to find out.  It's the first I've heard with an elk down!  Congrats!

That reminds me of a hunt while getting over the Flu. Didn't end that well though, elk trotted right by me as I was crop dusting the sage! My brother couldn't believe I didn't get one. Congrats on your determination and GRIT!

wow, this must be pretty common, because the same happened to my brother inlaw this season except he was right in the middle of dropping the kids at the pool and had a nice 5x5 stroll right in front. but atleast you were able to let the air outta the one you saw! congrats!
