49 Degrees North
« on: October 07, 2016, 08:50:26 AM »
Got my moose down on Tuesday morning. We called a little bull in at first light on opening morning, let him go. It was pretty fun to bring him right in on top of us. I then spent three mornings working a decent bull, a couple miles in on the refuge. He had a cow with him, and wouldn't respond to calls. I had a brief opportunity for him on Tuesday morning, 500 yards, but he was moving fast. Then, while changing locations, we came across this guy on the road. While I would love to have harvested a mature, large racked bull, I am much too intelligent to pass up the gift that this bull was. No packing out, just loading him into the truck. And a freezer full of fantastic moose meat!
I got a LOT of great help from folks on this site, big thanks out to Brian (Pendoreilleadventures), PA Ben, and Benhuntin. Great guys! And thanks to Jerry (Elkaholic123) for scheduling a week of vacation to help with the grunt work.
Also met up with other site members who were hunting. Cascade, thanks for the info and help- I hope you get your cow! Blindluck, fill those two bull tags!
One shot, one Deer. Two shots, maybe one Deer. Three shots, no Deer

Looks like the pack out is just about right!

Very cool!
