Hunting the wapiti in the Bitter Root mountains
An 1893 hunting narrative describes elk pursuit after a failed moose hunt. The author and John Willis trek through valleys and gorges, observe a dramatic elk battle, and shoot to defend a lone mission peak, detailing wapiti behavior, rutting fights, and the animals’ ferocity. The piece closes with a moral exhortation contrasting personal troubles with a Milwaukee widow’s tragedy.
