“You do not hunt elk in open country on foot if you want to kill one, you ambush them are you use a blind, are a tree stand. Now get a life. Open as in a none fenced game ranch.”

I do. Much of Idaho is lots of open sage and elk are killed all the time. And it isn’t on fenced game ranches. The last cow I killed, while still hunting, I shot from 40 yards, but had to wait until the 6X6 standing ten feet in front of me stepped aside to give me a clear shot. The wife and I were in a herd of 100, surrounded. I guess you gotta know how to still hunt.

Now, to refer you to the article posted above...

“About an hour after starting her hunt, she was making her way through some brush and she spotted the wolf at about the same moment it spotted her.”

Is brush open country or not?

You may be correct, I head no ideal that western elk were deaf and could not hear are smell. You can probably walk upon one and kick it in the ass. But the one that lived behind my house for a year, you had to hide from to get close to. But then she was an illegal that slipped across the kentucky border, I guess having no papers made her nervous .
