Got my first moose!

[Brett]

First an apology, I didn't take any pictures while I was out (forgot/excited/BUSY!) but I do have a couple garage pictures. Anyway spent all day as deep in the bush as you can be under the Salmon river. Ran into a fellow members tree stand, very cool to see not in a picture :) There was a big bull in there that had slipped away a couple times and I was determined to get him, but nothing. Hit a few more good spots after lunch and still nothing. On the way hme saw a LOT of very fresh/that days tracks. 2 bulls a cow and calf. Started calling and heard the weirdest sounds ever, almost a growling but like a moose would return calls, started crashing closer then a truck comes down the road and it starts to leave (still returning calls) then turns back, then away again, farther until gone and no response. 5min later give up, tail between legs come around a corner in the road about 1k away from where we were calling and the he is, my 5x4. Shot him in the base of the neck at the top of his neck while quartering away. We had just been joking around about how we spend all day in the bush and "some guy" will just shoot one on the road and go home. GREAT experience and I go a little help from Mke and Eric with the cleanup! Thanks guys!!!
