This bull was following a herd of 8. Not lots of elk but I was set up on a river crossing that I knew of. When I finally intercepted them one morning it was after it was -16 overnight. A layer of ice formed on the banks of the river that stretched 5 or 6 feet into the river. I watched them approach the crossing and the lead cow took two steps onto the ice, broke through, and turned upstream to find another way with everyone following. My heart sunk as it would have worked perfectly. Try again next year
