How about when hunting 'European elk', aka moose? I was a tag-along on my partner's WY moose hunt. It was raining pretty hard & we had on rain gear, which doesn't help the hearing a bit. We sat on a log and he called a couple times. After about 15 min, we decided to move on. As we started walking away, all hell broke loose right behind us. A bull had sneaked in and was standing less than 20 yards right behind us and we hadn't heard him. Neither of us had turned around when we decided to move on.
