Is anyone hunting the North slope this weekend?

I did see where I think I hit the bull (he shot it as well to put it down). I hit it low in the chest and in the rear end. The guy who ended up dropping it was in the shoulder and he shot it in the neck because it wiggled on the ground he said. He was an older guy who couldn't walk well at all from Iowa. The guy didn't have any idea that the elk was being tracked by our party and that we had jumped it from where it probably would have died if I would have left it lay. I didn't do that because of the rain which was starting. I thought I'd lose the ability to track it if it rained which is correct. It took us a while to get to the animal as we kept tracking in case he didn't hit it. The guy who shot it last had tagged it already. I'm sure if it was a spike or small bull he may have given it to me if it wasn't tagged already but with the size of the bull and the fact that it was tagged there was no option not that he would have considered that anyways. I've driven game to people which is a bummer as well but the truth is this animal was wounded and we were tracking it, it's a whole lot worse feeling for my family and friends which were tracking this animal for hours on end only to jump it and have a guy shoot a wounded bull and tag it. I know legally it's his bull, he finished it off. I don't know how proud I'd be to tag it if the shoe was on the other foot to be totally honest.
