Nice moose! On another note, I see you have the cabelas wood stove?..... How would you rate that stove, I'm looking around for this year or next. :tup:The stove worked really well an we would put a couple presto logs in it at night but were going to put it to the test next month in Idaho for whitetail and it normally is in the 20's then so I'll give you an update on the performance then. But my cousin bought it for under 200 so it was a screaming deal and we loaded one row of firewood in the truck and used only half of it. The first night he stoked it and I had to sit outside the tent for an hour cus it was so overwhelming. I would recommend it for the price and you can fit full length pieces of wood in it also

Congrats on a great looking bull. How do you like your Alaknac tent? I have the same tent and stove set up and I think its great.

Just read this part about you using Presto logs in your stove. Be careful using them, we tried it once and they burn real dirty, so they clogged up the screen on the stove cap and damn near killed me and Silent Bob. We found that they are usable, but you gotta clean stove pipe cap and pipe every day. We gave up using them. Just giving you my experience.

Ya the screen and the pipe recieved a lot of residue but we managed to clean it because the wind was pushing the stack a little crooked so everyday we were messing with it and fixing anything we had to. But the tent and stove set up is, in my opinion, a lot easier and better then hauling a 21 ft artic fox over there. It's just nice not having to worry about frozen pipes, flat tires, gas leaks, mice, tabs, propane, and water. When you can just throw a tent in the bed of your truck and it took us about 25 minutes to set it up and we cut out outdoor carpet to put inside and it was just a good quarters to hunt from. Relaxing, and it felt like you were actually experiencing a hunt all the time, if that makes sense. It was a lot funner than a trailer.Nice moose!

Congrats on the bull did you hunt with Joe for that bull? I know he was hunting with a fellow who tagged a Selkirk bull as well. As for the stove I have the same one for my 12x20 alaknak tent it works great if you stoke it down it will burn about 3 hrs when crammed with logs. As for the stack try some sheetmetal screws in each section, or some of that foil tape. We hunt in a very windy area, and we had issues with the stack until I used the screws now I dont worry about it at all.
Did not hunt with Joe, the one Joe hunted with decided to wait until there was 3 feet of snow on the ground. Pretty sure the one that was hunting with Joe, got one just a wee bit bigger than that one.

Im still patiently awaiting pictures, and the write up. The story sounded similar, oh yeah! you never called me back after you lost reception the other day you can make it up to me with some of that fine Texas pork you are going to be bringing back.
