Saturdays Story

Postby Lefty » 09 23, 2018 •  [Post 1]

My daughter and I walked into an area I heard a bull at on Thursday.( I had to leave to meet her) I pointed the direction ,.. and a bull bugled.
She ran and set up I ran back, I went to work,.. a few light bull sounds, raking and stomping. I saw her shaking her head and a big grin on her face,,,, the bull was coming.

Then she pointed straight down wind, and did sort of a head slap. I cant hear anything, Im thinking so what if an elk comes in down-wind. Hopefully it busts quietly

Then some mews up wind and all sorts of racket about 90 yards. I ran back into some thicker cover moving away from the new elk
Then I saw my daughter get up,.. her body language said something was wrong.

The bull had been coming,, a cow with a calf making all the racket was closing in from another direction. What I wasn't hearing was another hunter ( the down wind elk) running and cow calling towards us. The bull had spooked
We slipped out.

Lefty, your Saturday song has a familiar beat to it. It sounds a lot like the ones we heard about Sunday thru Friday. :lol:
