All the afternoon and until early twi- 
ight we still-hunted. They were there ; 
:here was no denying that. Several 
imes I heard them stampeding. But this 
vas always when some other member of 
he party caused one to retreat from the 
■luster of small pines where it had been 
itanding motionless and watchful. I 
lOon learned that they could move noise- 
essly, picking their way ahead of me 
m soft-cushioned roofs without a noticc- 
ible sound. 
In the twilight we stood together 
vhere the horses had been tied and 
frinned at each other. Nobody had got 
i shot. Nobody had really seen an elk. 
Too excited to be weary after a strenu- 
)us day, we made a meager camp and 
>artook of our meager supplies and 
alked it over. 
To-morrow would be better. Fred and 
decided upon a plan that by all logic 
ras sure to succeed. We had noticed 
hat the trails where the elk all seemed 
0 travel unless frightened ran along the 
ontour of the ridges rather than straight 
ip and down. The elk did not travel up 
ir down hill unless necessary, but kept 
m a level. Our plan was to hunt at 
ight angles to the ridges — straight 
cross from one ridge to the next, up to 
he ridge-tops and then down to the bot- 
om of the gulches. We planned to 
eep about two hundred yards apart. 
Vhenever we came to a well-traveled 
Ik trail we were to sit down and wait, 
oncealed as much as possible. Now we 
easoned that if there were any elk be- 
ween us along the trail they would come 
way from one of us and straight toward 
he other. It would mean a sure shot 
or one of us. 
‘PHE next morning we tried it, travel- 
^ ing straight across the ridges, taking 
hem at right angles. Now and then 
/e saw each other, and occasionally we 
irhistled in order to keep along together, 
ioon I came to a well-traveled trail. I 
ay behind a log, with my rifle pointed 
lown the trail where an elk would surely 
ome if Fred frightened him before I 
lid. For three minutes I waited. Then 
heard Fred’s rifle — once. I waited 
ome more. Nothing happened. There 
vere no more shots. Fred did not call, 
de had missed. 
Without stopping to confer with him, 
1 again proceeded. After that I saw him 
ince, but we soon became separated and 
1 hunted alone. From time to time I 
wondered about that shot of Fred's. 
Why didn’t he call me over, even if he 
had missed? Perhaps he was a little 
peeved with himself and did not care to 
talk about it. 
Until the middle of the afternoon I 
continued, moving straight away from 
camp into higher country. Elk trails 
were everywhere numerous. Once, as T 
was coming to the top of a hill, follow- 
ing along such a trail, I saw the big 
antlers of a fine bull loom up not twenty- 
five feet away. Coming from the oppo- 
site side of the hill he had not seen me, 
or heard me, or scented me. My rifle 
was held ready for quick shooting, but 
long seconds before I could raise it the 
big head disappeared. I tore up to the
