WA Raffle Moose
« on: December 17, 2008, 12:53:28 PM »
OK - he's not the biggest, but by far the prettiest bull we saw all week.  With three big trips already on the books and a fourth early hunt for moose, I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull off a December hunt if I tried to ride it out to the end, and then take a gamble on the weather.  Boy it sure would've been easier with this tag if I lived over there!  Oh well, sometimes you have to take what you can get.

That was also the only trip for my dad and daughter to come along, so it was cool harvesting a bull with them there to enjoy it!  My daughter was even more pumped than I was, as you can see from the smile on her face.  She's killed a couple deer already, but now she really wants a moose tag after that trip.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out the picture posting.  We'll see if this works?

Congrats, looking forward to seeing the pics.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
