[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2971909, member: 72440"] Had a similar experience with my last tag, saw a nice male elk, and was in Mountain Lion territory and knew they were all around. I decided not to take the shot as he was lone adult male of a small herd of about 10 or eleven elk, a couple of youngsters in there and was about a 10 mile hike back to my truck at my age it wouldn't have been fun to shoot and haul him out and then dress him at my truck at my age. Also figured may have had to deal with a lion or two as well on the way back. So I walked back to my truck and did not notice but the whole herd followed me back to clearing where my truck was. So I took a few pictures of them a went home empty handed. Have Asthma and that was before the Covid made my lungs worse. But a recent x-ray showed my lungs are clearing now finally. Still on my bucket list for one more elk hunt. [/QUOTE]
