As they lay

Here's a variation on the topic. I found this mostly intact skeleton while stalking an elk last month. Based on its condition and location I'm guessing that last year a hunter shot this bull and lost it in the thick steep terrain.View attachment 301392
That is “thick” to you? I am guessing you don’t get up to the northern part of Idaho much. 😀
 
😄 Nope, I grew up hunting the desert and don't deal well with the truly thick timber. The trees were a lot thicker behind me when I took that photo though, he was laying on the edge.

I have lived here all my life and have never been further north than Grangeville. I vaguely remember 1 brief trip to Elk City about 30 years ago.

Plenty of timbered hell awaits you further north.

This is one of my favorite threads. Always so exciting when first approaching the downed animal.
No matter how well you think you hit it, if it ran off, I get this pang of anxiety until I see it down, and I always get this huge rush of relief when I find it. Same thing when the dog comes up with a wounded/dead bird that you couldn't find.
