We may have passed each other in the woods. We hunted the Forks area for elk fairly often.In 88 I was deer hunting with a muzzleloader on the WA coast. I was sitting on a stump in waist high brush. taking a rest. About 30 yards from me a Buck stood up, I had a perfect shot. It had drizzled all day, everything was wet, no wind. I took careful aim and pulled the trigger. SNAP, the cap sounded like a firecracker, the gun did not fire. I got three more chances before the buck ambled off into the brush. Two more caps and on number 6, the gun finally shot. I had a piece of plastic wrap and a rubber band over the end of the barrel in an attempt to keep the powder dry, I had been out about an hour when I had my chance. That was the only shot I had that year and I missed it.
