Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

Living in the West is wonderful during hunting season. Having friends that own ranches or work for ranchers is even better. I have a friend who is a guide who graciously took me elk hunting for a cow. For those of you back east, this is a female elk. When you hunt on public land you seldom see elk, let alone a herd of 300. It is incredible to see.

Well, this morning was my second morning out hunting with my friend. The first morning we found the herd just on the other side of the property fence. I went home filled with expectation of this morning, knowing they would be back over to feed during the night. This morning we went earlier, and found them moving toward the neighbor's property. We briskly walked the mile to where they were...just on the other side of the fence.
