Title: Dangit!!
Post by: Kc_Kracker on November 06, 2012, 12:19:43 PM: I finally spotted what I was actually looking for! I roll in at pitch black dark, not even in the woods yet, I round a corner and there they were, the whole dang road was colored on Rosie, over 15 head, as soon as my headlights hit them they bolted like a freight train and flew off a big cliff into the darkness, ok cool, wind is at my back so I decided to head down the road about a mile in the direction they were headed where im ahead of them and downwind instead, so i creep in where I will have great sight, i wait for an hour and a half, no sign, so I start creeping in their direction, after several miles and no sign I bagged it and headed for lunch :bash: It sucks to lose them but at least I saw them and now where to find them :IBCOOL:

damn I had my victory speech all planned out while I was waiting for them to show :chuckle:

At least sometimes they don't. :chuckle: :chuckle:

it was still pitch black, and they launched off a cliff that I was not about to attempt in blackness and break my neck :bdid: no elk is worth being injured and unable to work. I did however get some good info on the area from someone who knows it, thanks spud :tup:
