Yes, you were. Very lucky. Luckier it wasn’t a Moose. Elk are big.
Yeah lucky.
Brother in law and I
were up in Gibbs Creek in Wyoming a couple years later. On of us sneezed and scared a bull moose. That thing left a swath of about a ten foot path. We were amazed. He was probably 1500 lbs or better.You could hear it crashing through the brush. It was big.
Never drew a moose tag. Only went after elk and mulies.
