Finally made it out for some hunting after missing the September bow only moose season.
It's been a busy year with a two year old and a 9 month old running the house now. We recently sold our first house and bought a new place with some property.
After getting the guns and archery equipment outta storage it was time to practise. I had been shooting 8 arrows every morning before work and again after work since we moved in ( love being able to do it at home now)

this black bear kept pooping in my yard and He finally showed himself. I really wanted to launch an arrow at my deer target to see his reaction. I'm still in city limits so hunting him is a no go.
October 1 st opening morning of the region 6 bow only season.
Just me and my dad because my brother had a funeral to attend.
We decided to spread out to cover more ground. We both arrived before sun up and made our way to the edge of our swamps.
I was sneaking in and their appeared To be fresh moose tracks on the game trail. When I got within 10 feet of my favourite bow spot under a big tree at the point of the meadow I herd movement. I just cought the ass end of a moose 40 yards away it turned and barked at me. This was the first time a moose has done this to me but I know it was not the sound you want to hear. I was busted. I gave a quick cow call hoping it wouldn't do it again warning all the moose in the area that their was danger here. Instantly I hear a bull grunting to my left off in the thick stuff. The other moose barked again and headed off. The bull must of grunted 15 times but seemed to be heading away towards my dads area.

after getting busted and then pumped to hear a bull grunting I decided to hunker down and let the area settle

i turned my radio on and messaged my dad. No reply. About a half hour later my dad radios back
"you on here"
yes i replied
" you going to come help me pack the moose out"
Seriously. Sweet.
" Yep bring your bow I got the little one but theirs a huge bull down here with a cow and calf"
I bail outta the swamp hike to my truck and race to my dad
