49 Degree North Moose 08 (huntnphool)

I dont see him doing 360s in the road swatting at hornets with one hand holding up your drawers though

I had a head start but all I had to do is stay in front of you Thanks for hittting the remote lock when you did!

Thats not all he had to do, he was the buffer between my 10 year old daughter and that bull as well. All the while running down the road yelling for Pope to hit the remote

As I said the first day we got off to a late start. Around 7:00am I got a call, we were somewhere east of Vantage, from M-Ray. He left a message telling me that He and Pope got up the mountain, hit their first draw and glunked. A few minutes later they had 3 bulls in view but couldnt see the head of the biggest but said it was 300 pounds larger than the other two. I think Pope got a few pics of the other two, maybe if we beg he will post those too.

 So we roll into Outfitters house around 11:00am and everyone is still out hunting. It wasn't long before Jody showed up and started making lunch, what great hosts these people are!!!

We BS'd for a while when Pope and M-Ray rolled in with big toothie grins and showed me the pics on the camera,  the excitement just tripled.

A bit later Joe showed up with his client and brought one of his "pets" outside to stretch, I stayed well out of reach, however Waid and my daughter got right in on the fun, here are a couple pics.

My daughter just gave me the inventory, 23 snakes, 2 bearded dragons, 3 iguana's, 4 dogs and a cat, can you tell she had a great time!!! She was pretty disappointed that we weren't staying there the whole time

   I'm still crackin up about those guys runnin from a little ole moose.  I asked Mray where he was when the lawyer was running for his life, he said already in the truck.   Dignity guys where is your Dignity?

[M_ray]

No I said I beat him to the truck! and BTW if I would have let something happen to Robs daughter I'm sure I would have gotten a bullet in my butt! 

[scoyoc5]

Those things just freak me out  
Short story
Back when we used to cruz the loop in Puyallup I was in a buddies car he gooses it showin off or something and something falls out of the visor..... A FREAKIN BABY BOA!!!!! needless to say by the time i figured out what it was I think i had a heart attack pissed and sh!t myself all at once   I swear that was the turning point for me lol....anyway didn't mean to tread jack.

He was with me following the bull up the road.

[M_ray]

just don't tell me w70 was up a tree

Nope! you'll see the pics he was right there in big bro's back pocket!  I have a feeling he would tangled with that bull before he would let it get at his big bro,  he's the kinda of brother everyone would want!

Thats not all he had to do, he was the buffer between my 10 year old daughter and that bull

One other thing aside from any hiking we did the first couple of days we did put in 20 miles the last two and shorty never complained once! quite impressive for a 10 year old! She made it farther than some guy's would, tellin me and Pope jokes all the way back to the truck on Sunday!!!!

[boneaddict]

Thats awesome she was there for the hunt and she did so well.  Mine were a little young to be out in the woods with me on my hunt but they did make it to camp for a couple days.

And for those that may be rolling their eyes, it really was 20+ miles, the GPS's were set each day. Would have been one hell of a job packing that far.

Saturday rained like hell too, even with rain gear we were soaked, although I think more from sweat than rain. Here she is right close to where we found my target for the next month and a half

[M_ray]

Shorty's a little soldier foe sure! I couldn't wait to see if she would pack more than most guy's too!

[PA BEN]

That was one wet day. I got soaked to the bone with my rain gear too. Thought I was out in Forks The only thing nice about it was it kept the bee's off the meat, and the rain kept the meat clean

[bucklucky]

Thats prettyt cool guys! Wish I was there when all the fun took place!
