About 10:30
The Elk wheeled and ran out of sight . I set off on foot with the guide about 8:30 . We startled one or two Elk , but they were very wild , and I got no chance to photograph . About 10:30 , when several miles farther in the wilderness , we sighted a cow Elk standing in a meadow with a Coyote sneaking around about one hundred yards away . `` That 's my Elk , '' I said , and we swung under cover . By keeping in a little pine woods , I got within one hundred yards , taking picture No. 1 , Plate XV . As she did not move , I said to Tom : `` You stay here while I creep out to that sage brush and I 'll get a picture of her at fifty yards . ''
