Pastor stays in character when confronted by herd bull

WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS — What would you say?

Matthew LaGrange, a man of the cloth from Texas, was fishing near Estes Park with his friend Dan Scates of Longmont, Colo., as a bull elk slowly herded its harem across the Big Thompson River — directly at the anglers.

“I’m a pastor so I can’t say what I was thinking but, It started with Holy,” LaGrange said after leaving the water.

It was his first time fly fishing.
