Out bright and early making my way up the mountain. The slash looked good on research, the valley seemed perfect for elk. Sure enough, soon as we hit the ground the signs are fresh and there still the musky smell on spots and we slowly thread up to get to elevation.
We chased them all day long, slowly at first, frantically at times when steaming pebbles magically appeared in front of us. You know the story, it's a beat, but no cigar.
So sit your bum down, have a snack, have some coffee and tell popsie "It's OK, at least we're enjoying our time!" ...at which the old wisdom blurps "Enjoy your time on someone else's dime, your kids said daddy shoot something!"
What's one to do when elk throw back lemons? Shoot a massive WT doe of course ;)

and the kids love me again, nah, just kidding, their mom's still the favourite.

To make long story short, we wolfed the food, we drank the coffee, we slowly started heading back down when ...some 200yards away I notice something trying to slip away. Quick rest against a tree, bang flop heartshot some 180 yards. In all honesty it was kind of a cheat, I had just dialed in my new TTSXs and I'm dead on at 200. Wasn't even a contest. The ol' odd six strikes again!
