Moose hunt over

[porcupine]

Well, the boys and I recently returned from our annual moose hunt up north. We were able to fill only one of our two LEH tags with a bull, and it was a long tough hunt. We got our bull on the 13th day of hunting and last evening hunt before we had to head back for Victoria. I never did get a shot at a bull. I only saw 3 cows and one small bull running quickly at over 300 yards during the whole hunt. We hunted the first two weeks of October and just did not seen to have luck on our side this year. Anyway, here are a few pictures.


Here is the moose we harvested.

Here is a Spruce Grouse that I shot with my new camera as it flew off into the woods. They're hard to hit in the air, even with a camera.

yah-congratulations[we ended up moose''looking'' this year]'I'm intrigued by the hoist set up[the older I get the easier I like to make things]I'm wondering if you could fabricate a hoist like that on a quad-an A frame on the back and using the winch on the front to hoist it?You'd have to have it balanced ,of course,or the weight would pull it over,Be a heck of a deal though,if you could drive your quad up to your moose and hoist it for gutting and quartering...
