This years photo safari
« on: October 13, 2008, 03:09:07 PM »
Here is a start of my trip. Nothing like shooting offhand in the dark.  Typical of me and my trips.  Teh moose steps out and the lens is in the backpack.

First bull of the trip.  Why is it the little ones come barreling in with no regards to self preservation :)

Sorry Rob, I didn't figure this one was worthy of that tag of yours.  I looked hard for the big guy but couldn't come up with him.  It was dead silent in that area.

Mostly what I hate about North Idaho is the fact you can have moose at 30 feet or less and not be able to see them.  The moose had pretty much cowed up so were a bit settled from their antics the week before, but I still managed to call a few in though they were about impossible to shoot.  I need to go work some of that open country where there are moose.  I put 1400 miles on the truck and covered some of the Selkirks, 49 and spent a bunch of time in N Idaho.  I went after a big bull elk I had a hot tip on, but he also decided that silence was his best option.  Here was a blown stalk on some ducks.  I actually got them on the ground, but they were all hens, so not much color.

This guy was farther away than you can imagine, but I took a frame anyway.

I'd like to take this little guys picture in about 5 years.  I am pretty sure that one of the Selkirk bulls on here was one I saw last year and would have loved to have shot this year for film, but I am glad the tagholder got him.  There were quite a few guys up there still hunting.
