I went elk hunting, umm I mean moose hunting
« on: Oct 03, 2011, 09:18:06 AM »
I went out this weekend to do some elk hunting. We found some sign but there was more moose than elk. We quadded down by a river then into a cut. We glassed the very back of the cut and we saw this.

My buddy Adam pulled the trigger on him at 2:00pm.He anchored his first moose.




2 hours later had him gutted and loaded up and coming out to camp which was 12kms away. In one of the many cuts we saw a big bull and a cow and a calf.




This is the cow and calf. They didn't like to stick around for a good pic.



Next weekend calf season opens for moose so I'll try my luck then.
Work is just to support all of my habits. HUNTING AND FISHING!!!!

Congrats to the Hunter on a nice Moose!!  The same thing happened to me on my first Moose Hunt.  I shot a nice little bull on a logging road.  After gutting it and loading it on the trailer, we were driving down to an intersection to turn around, and at the intersection was a BIGGER BULL!!  :(

Couldn't shoot the bigger one as you have to have a LEH tag. Only spike-fork bulls are open right now. Next week moose calves are open for 10 days.
