I went fishing. Caught a fish. Here is a pic... Man that would be no story! I went hunting, Shot a moose. Here is a pic... You gotta tell how you got it. Might have bagged it outside a cabin window for all we know 😀
Ok!
Had been scouting for like three days and had seen a few but were a little picky.
On Thursday morning, went into the woods about 2.5 miles and heard some moose calls. Walked another 1/2 mile into the woods and saw two of them, both about the same size (around 900lbs) butting horns in a show of dominance.
Looked to the left a ways and saw a cow (female moose) waiting for the victor of the fight. once the smaller one turned and ran, it was time for the decision...do we shoot or do we wait for a nother one. Well since Saturday is the last day and it was already Thursday, it was obviously time to hit it.
Four shots from a 30-06 (thirty-odd-six for thos who dont know the term) and down it went. Dressed it right there in the field, kept the heart and then used a couple of four wheelers to get it back to the truck. Had to use some "come-alongs" to haul it into the back of the truck! Lost the special tag while it was being dragged out, all nervous about going to the weigh station, but they have all your info on file so they said we were all set!
