Hornseekers Moose adventure
« on: September 18, 2011, 08:13:13 PM »
You'll have to wait for all the specifics from him.   I drove 650 miles down to help him out.  The moose weren't quite there for responding to calls. The one bull I did have really worked up, Ernie was with another friend scouting an area up the mountain.  The warm weather wasn't helping. We got some serious rain which helped I am sure, and there was supposed to be a big cool down this week.  We were still seeing and playing with lots of smaller bulls.   I left Saturday to arrive home LATE Saturday night.   I did manage to catalog some pics for him.

Here he is putting a stalk on a bull.   No, he doesn't hunt in red. LOL   We thought we would play with this bull some.  Cool looking bull but he is hoping to do better.

Before I left Saturday we did a run up the mountain, and found two VERY small bulls.   I had a good photo op with them, then we decided to try a "real" time stalk for practice.   He closed the gap to less than 20.  Unfortunately I only brough the one lens along.  You'll note one of the two bulls in the background.  That one only had nubbins.

Was wondering how your trip went. Glad you were at least finding some bulls. Hope the cooler weather gets them starting to fire. Good luck Ernie, am hoping you finish your hunt before I head over to help out my dad with his Moose. Really looking forward to hearing it! Great pics as well Doug!
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.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

Looks like that one has his eye on Ernie. How heavy is the bow he is using.
