[QUOTE="Dirty Steve, post: 165598, member: 6896"] I wouldn't be so sure about the "not in Wyoming" statement. Last year I was sitting just over the crest of a ridge watching a line of about 30 elk filter down and across the canyon into the timber north of the Gros Ventre. We had heard the bulls bugleing before daylight and had snuck into position for what was going to be about a 500 yard shot. Everything was ready, rifle on the bipod, lasered where they would come out, guide acting as my spotter ready,....catching glimpses of the 350" plus 7x7 bringing up the rear of the herd, the same bull we had located the night before. All of a sudden we heard voices,...look at those bulls, bang, bang (WWII Normandy landing sound effects). Seven guys had ridden up behind us, after seeing the young bulls in the herd, and started blazing away, directly over the top of our heads. In all seriousness, over 30 shots rang out, dust flying, elk running and not a single one hit. Those (____) hunters had the nerve to comment that they had seen our horses tied below the ridge line and had seen my hat hanging in the blowdown we were sitting in, but man, when you see those many good bulls, everyone has got to start shooting so you can hit one. They commented that a few in their group had seen the herd and called the rest of the slob army on the radio so they could have more guns. I have never totally lost my cool as much as that day or used so many four letter words to describe someone's lineage or total disregard for the animals or safety of others. They never even saw the 7x7, and neither did I the rest of the 10 days I hunted. [/QUOTE]
