Mooseless, Deerless, but not Grouseless!

[Alpine Addict]

Well we got back from our big trip on saturday. And I have come to the conclusion that there are no bulls in 5-02D. It was a great trip nontheless. We saw close to a million grouse (30+) same for does. I saw 3 bucks, one of which was a shooter but my friend wasnt quick enough:shock:. Saw a black bear and my dad saw a wolf, and decided not to shoot it??. I went back the following day and seranaded him with a dying cottontail but to no avail. But we did see 4 moose. 3 cows and a calf. Which was really cool because it was my first moose hunt, and first time seeing them not on the road. I put my rifle over my head and swaggered in grunting and Got to about 100 yards of the cow+calf. But decided not to go further, as she might get a bit annoyed with my crappy immitations. I will add pics as soon as I am home from school.

Take joy in these hunts with your dad, because there will come a time when he's gone. Nothing better than memories. I still hunt with my dad every year for at least one week long trip somewhere. He will be 73 next Monday. He shot a calf moose this year by the way to break a bit of a dry spell. Just because there was not animals taken does not constitute a poor trip in any way. They are all great. Sounds like you guys had fun, Congrats!
