Another Hangman Moose Down 09
« on: October 05, 2009, 09:34:04 AM »
Well I had a great time at Mica on Thursday.  Rolled in early and saw plenty of nice bulls. One right away which made me really wish I hadn't drawn a cow tag, but none the less a great thing to see.  Around 10am I had my scope in a cow at around 250 yards and decided that I really wasn't ready to be done hunting yet and hoped I could get better shot, so I passed.  After a quick bite to eat, I headed out again to glass and saw a cow down below me about 600 yards, so I drove down to see If I could get on her.  When I got there I heard a crash in the brush which got my blood going.  I walked around the corner and stumbled into a great bull about 20 feet away.  I pretty much froze with my jaw open.  After what seemed to be forever, he finally looked over at me and gave out a big woof and took off.  The other direction thankfully!!  About that time I ran into the pack train(Elkspert) taking out Zack's big bull.  Nice to meet you guys, by the way.  I then hopped back on my 4-wheeler and took the next road down.  I came around the corner and there she was about 100yrds away on the side of the hill.  One shot in the neck and she dropped like a ton and rolled down to the road.  I drove back down to the gate where I was thankfully able to role my trailer under and hook it up to the 4-wheeler.  We met, I assume wantthuntmore and wife before we took off to load up some meat.  I was fortunate enough to be able to drive right up gut her out and load up for the drive out.  Great experience and hope to one day get a Bull to go with her.

Congratulations! At least you got your moose early in the season. I got mine with one hour of daylight on the last day of the season up on Mica Peak. You get a little paranoid when you are out there on the last day with time running out. It was the same with my goat, but I got my bighorn the day after the opener. Those DIY hunts with no one to help are really really taxing, especially the moose.
