    J270wsm,

    Unfortunately not my elk, nor is there an exciting story. Was a pesky bull that had been annoying some lady by hanging out in her back yard and presumably wreaking havoc on her garden/trees and maybe pets while in the rut. She somehow got in contact with the lucky son of a gun who had the draw for this area so he came by and "took care of the problem". Nice bull for sure. Central vancouver island

    This was our third trip in with Tetsa River outfitters, Beth and Timber were our hosts this trip. Sadly likely be my partners last trip, (health issues). Doug was hurt prior to us going in, long story, broken hip, night in the bush, helicopter ride, miss the hunting season. We headed into moose camp Oct 3, high water in river and beaver dams, trail was the muddiest it has ever been. arrived in camp early afternoon, unpacked and got ready for the upcoming adventure. If you have read my previous stories of Tetsa you would realize this could be a very easy hunt or difficult. Went for an early morning walk on the 4th, in behind camp, hiked to the snow line, did some glassing, saw 1 large bodied deer mule buck and doe but nothing else. On the 4th I saddled up with Timber along with 4 pack horses to make a trip into the cache camp where they had left some gear from the previous hunt that had to brought out. another 3 1/2 ride nice country but no animals, saw a few cows on our way back to camp late in the afternoon. Next day plan was to walk the rim (moose camp sits in a valley surrounded on 3 sides by high rim rock) saw a shooter bull shortly leaving camp but disappeared over the hill. glassed for about an hr saw a few cows, young bulls, and then the tell tale rifle shot from camp. made our way down to camp and sure enough Stew bagged a nice sized bull 48" spread. Shot him from the front porch of the hunters cabin, deja vue as he did the same on his first trip, although this time not in his under wear. A little difficult dealing with the moose as it died in a small patch of muskeg, but using man and horse power it was dealt with, difficult part was disposing of guts, bones and hide, to close to camp as grizzlies frequent the area, we did have a sow and cub in camp about 2 hours after the kill, Timber's dog put the run on her.
    The next day woke up to 5" snow and minus 10c. Sitting in the main cabin just having my first coffee and like a ghost another moose appears in camp. "Bang" walks 20 feet and dies under a game pole. Nothing to this moose hunting thing. 4 moose now that we have shot in camp in 3 trips. 51" bull for me. we ended up with over 1100 lbs of deboned moose. We pulled the pin early, left on 6th day, we had bear tags as there was a monster black bear hanging around, we saw it high on the hill above camp both days dealing with the moose, likely a B.C. book bear, massive head and body. But to far up for this fat guy. Headed back to the highway next day, cold wet trip out, beaver dams were iced over and trail just as muddier or worse as before.
