The herd had settled and the dust cleared. A high, eerily pitched scream arose from the tired animals. When the noise had died, a magnificent animal could be seen. The stallion of the herd, Hack Shadow. A mustang of a black taut coat, that showed every well disciplined built muscle and how they reacted to earlier exercise.

Although they are cute and cuddly in their own right, the cold weather we have all recently been experiencing is actually almost normal for this time of year.

I had been watching the. small herd of elk for at least three months. I had my eyes set on the mature six point bull which led them. I knew the herd would be in the small meadow over the next ridge. I was planning to call the bull to me with a diaphragm whistle which would immitate the old .bulls bugle. I checked the wind ao that the elk would not smell me aa I entered the meadow. The sun was about to rise over the horizion, and I knew I had to hurry before it waa completely light. I sneaked carefully to a ' good camouflaged place where I would not be seen. I placed the diaphragm call in my mouth and produced a high keen whistle which led into a low grunt. I sat there motionlessly anticipating the bulls reply. I whistled again, and suddenly a sharp dear whistle arose from the trees which made all nature atop and listen. My blood ran rapidly through my veins. I speedily returned hia answer. I glanced all around and then looked closely at a small patch of quakies. There he waa stading in all his majestic power. His horse reached dear back to the white patch on hia rump when he held his head high to try to smell my position. He started to walk slowly toward me. He waa roughly 600 yards away. I knew he would have to cone within 300 yards before my rifle would reach him. The old bull moved closer and closer, eager to find the competitor who waa calling him on. As he walked across the meadow, I couldnt help but wonder how many hunters he had outsmarted in his long lifetime. As he moved into rifle range, I lifted my rifle and set my sights on the big target. I thought to myself how could I end such a beautiful creatures life in such a short time juat for the sake of the perfect ' antlers. I suddenly realized I could not shoot this animal. I slowly lowered my rifle. Then I thought, what am I doing? I am passing up the chance of a lifetime. I hurridly raised the rifle and set my sights again on the big target. At that minute the bull heard a pickup coming down the hill and turned and ran. As the bull made his exit, I fired two shots but missed. I cussed at the men under my breathe and wondered why they didn't outlaw trucks during the hunting season. I knew I had just missed the chance of a lifetime and chalked up another mark fin: the one that got away. snow-covere- . d Classified Deadlines Friday Phone News Items 722-513- 1 & 7200 South 280 West 7200 South - - sensation that was quickly overtaking him.
