2019 Archery Elk Ch 2 "Crown Point"
The bull gave a small jump and kicked up his tempo, although with no idea of what/if anything had happened. My arrow had just zinged beneath him and I think he had a sense of some sort of close shave. He and the cows around him continued their frantic scurry off the exposed ridge. I didn't have time to consider what had happened to foil what should have been a slam dunk shot. The elk were still unaware of my presence and I was right in their midst with the violent storm providing multiple layers of "cover" for me to take advantage of. Yes, I could have knocked another arrow and almost certainly selected a shot from any of the many elk yet to pass through the window. But this bull was incredible, and without hesitation I swiveled to my feet and started running parallel to the herd. The break of ridge line and mixed timber & downfall gave me just enough cover to pursue this herd as they continued their way downhill. I was pretty much able to run as fast as I wanted (which was not that fast wearing a heavy pack and carrying a bow with an arrow knocked). I could make out glimpses of the herd as I rallied down the ridge trying to get ahead of the big bull once again.
