Missed Bull.

14 September 2017 @0900. Sunny morning 60 degrees.

The herd returned to the same location to feed and were bumped by a hunter. The herd ran across the meadow, and up the ridge about 200 yards away. I tried to cut them off but they were gone. I worked my way across the ridge in the direction they were headed.

@1100 I heard a branch break coming up the ridge. I was up wind,  found a shooting lane, and sat in front of smaller bush. A 3x4 bull walked 10 feet in front of me, big black eyes, sucking in every scent through his huge nostrils. The bull walked in the direction the herd went without ever scenting or seeing me.

Opponent steps up while keeping top of foot behind knee and other foot hooks behind on hamstring. One hand on ankle and the other on lapel as leash. Slide into de la Riva. Then slide into X- guard. #1. Opponent leans back, so you extend both legs while pulling ankle, and push at lapel, and keep the lapel and the cuff. Elbow on mat, knee slice down leg and loop leg into back of shoulder. Step over with other leg and secure arm bar. Keep arm to chest and slide up to opponent thumb. #2 opponent leans forward, keep inside hook on hamstring tight, drop other leg to mat, punch hand behind butt and hip opponent over and take side control. Opponent has de la Riva, hand on hip and straighten leg then point knee out to break de la riva guard. Leave hip and grab lapel. Pin knee to mat and knee slice to pass.
