So, there were 3 of us on a Polaris on Powder Rim when we saw a group of elk waaaaaayy down in the valley. A ranging of a rock about midway showed that the elk was at least 2,000 yards away. So, we drove down into the valley as far as we could, then found a dried creek bed to walk to the back of a hill so we could shoot down on the group and be upwind.
We were walking through the creekbed when I saw the fur of an elk about 10 feet from me. I stopped dead in my tracks and whispered to the other guys that there was an elk close. We walked up out of the creek bed on another group of elk that we did not even see. There were about 12-15 elk and we started firing down the barrels because they were too close for our scopes. We shot 7 rounds in about 2 seconds and downed 3 cows. The farthest show was about 40 yards.
