My once in a lifetime Moose
« on: October 18, 2012, 04:46:59 PM »
Well I would like to start by thanking everyone for the help. This was a great opportunity that I will cherish forever. There is not much to the story though. We drove for 8 hours on Sat. and got our campsite set up and went road hunting to learn the area a little bit. Never seen an animal other than a grouse that someone shot at and missed. He said to be greatfull, he got the miss out of the way. The next morning we left camp at day light and headed up the road we went about a mile from camp and there he was walking down the road. Joel and I jumped out and started after him on foot to see if he was a shooter. Joel said he looked good to him and was making a call to get him to turn. When he turned his head I shot him in the neck from about 75 yards and he drooped right there. Then we spent the next 5 hours getting him cleaned and in the truck.

Almost forgot I asked Joel are you sure he is a shooter. I never wanted to look to close at his antlers and blow the shot. Thanks Joel you were right.

Great looking bull! How many points to get drawn? I ask about the points because I'm wondering if I'll be alive long enough to have a chance. :yike:
