Title: Ridgerunners moose trip pics
Post by: Craig on October 04, 2008, 11:24:21 AM: Here are a couple pictures from the trip. I had a good time and got to meet a couple of guys from the site. Everyone was having a good time and are nice guys. The weather was anything but moose hunting weather. If I had a beer and a beach I would have thought I was in Mexico. I think it was 85-88 degrees one day. I will let Ridgerunner tell the stories.

Ready to leave for a moose hunt.

Post by: Ridgerunner on October 04, 2008, 01:08:28 PM: Only problem with the first one was the season wasn't open yet. :bash:

Saw a much bigger one the night before as well. Almost nailed a 38" bull with really good wide palms and good brows at last light on the 2nd day but I wasn't thinking clearly probably becuase he was CLOSE, really close.
