Well my Dad put in for his very first LEH and won the December 1-7 draw for antlerless moose in 7-10(our backyard).
December 1
My new gun I got for my 16th birthday was the wepon of choice, but it wasn't sighted in. The 1st of December was devovted to sighting it in. After we sighted it in we just took the senic route back to 7-10 down the bobtail FSR. We seen 2 coyotes and one grouse.
December 2nd
Woke up at 5:00 am and got driving down the blackwater. We down the MT. Mackenzie road and in the second cut block we see 5 moose all together. Now the PG boys who hunted the blackwater and didn't get a moose might cringe abit. 3 Bulls a very large bull and two, 2points. The was a cow and calf. The ran away right away. Only moose of the day
The hill they were right near the top and it was foggy.(pic taken dec 5th)

December 3rd
We drive back down the MT. Mackenzie with no luck, so we try this Punchaw road. Get halfway down and decide to stop build a fire and cook hotdogs. After that we turn around and head back to the blackwater. We pass some other hunters. I am looking in this cutblock and I yell MOOSE! Dry cow standing 100 yard in a open block. My brother hops out of the truck and is getting ready to fire and the other truck is ripping down the road towards us. The moose cant see us because we are shooting through trees. My dad and I try everything to get this guy to stop. We wave our arms and he still comes and the moose bolts. Later in the day we check out the MT Mackenzie road again and see some guy glassing a cutblock. We drive past and not even 1 KM down the road there is a cow and calf in the middle of the road. Dont even get a chance and the run.
Nice Sun rise though

December 4th
This was the night we got 10 cm of snow. Once againg we head down the MT Mackenzie road to hunt some moose. The first cut block I see a moose about 2 KM away in a block. My brothe and I walk through the block to about 300 yards within the dry cow. He is just about to take a shot but cant hold still enough. He keeps shaking the barrle of the gun. Moose spooks and is gone.

Decemer 5th
We once againg wake up at 5:30 and head down the MT. Mackenzie road. Not even 10 KM down the road my brother yells cow moose. The he says it was running. Two minutes later we are going into the same cutblock where we saw the 5 moose on the 2nd and I yell moose. Two of them a cow and calf. This time my brother hops out befor the truck stops and is in position. BANg the gun goes off. All I hear is its down. We cant believe it. We walk up to the moose and see that the calf was dead. Didnt move at all. The cow just sat 35 yards back in the opening watching us. We decide toback off. After a 45 minute wait the cow leaves. We roll the calf onto a blue tarps and pull it to the road(I love snow). We later pace off 76 yards. The calf was shot at 76 yards trotting speed through the shoulders:icon_frow the lungs and clipped the top of the heart. This was my Dad brothers and mine first big game animal on our first hunt. The bullet I was using was a 180 grain remington core lokt out of my savage model 111 30.06. The only bad thing about this shot was the bullet damage to the meat. Both front legs are screwed and lotts of the meat around the legs turned to jelly. These lat few days were the best I have ever had. Not bad for my brothers first big game animal
