3rd season hunting large game now, mostly deer the last 2 but this season a couple buddies & I were fortunate to get an LEH for an area south of Vanderhoof. I have yet to down a deer, but damned if we didn't bag a nice bull late in the 1st week of our 2 week stay! Friend Colin & I are noobs to going after moose, good to have Rick with plenty of experience as our mentor. Rick knows the area & has had success there before. He has also returned empty handed on occasion, so we knew there are no guarantees.
We made up a gear list prior to meeting in Vanderhoof. My contribution was 5 days worth of dinner meat as was Colin's. Colin also brought dozens of fresh eggs from chickens on his property near Ladysmith. Rick would break out his canned wild meat from previous hunts if we ran out.
1st stop on the road for me was Cache Creek liquor store to enhance my beverage quota. I don't have a quad like the other 2 fellas, but I loaded up my canoe & Honda. The Taco was bursting at the seams.
Breakfast at a beautifully appointed restaurant in Vanderhoof prior to driving south into our area. Some fine critters hanging on the walls to get us stoked for the hunt.
Colin getting the trailer in position at the site under Rick's supervision. 2 Quads, accommodations for our stay & plenty of other gear crammed into that rig.
Can't ask for a better location to set up camp.
… stay tuned, more to follow....
