Dry weather with no snow made for tough tracking this year, steps in puddles were some of the only signs one could find besides the occasional sighting of moose.
Every morning up to the hills hoping there may of been a snowfall up higher but only a dusting of a cm last Tuesday at 5500 ft. with not a single moose track, just lots of deer, coyotes, wolves and rabbits tracks. Warm temps of the fall didn't help either, but they need to feed and move to feeding areas daily from the sticks where they hide by day, venture out at nightfall until early morning where they move back to the timbers. With only days left the pressure was on to find one of two spikes sighted before season opening, tired of searching for them I choose another area for them yesterday.
Today I almost took the morning off but decided to get out for an hour or two before work thinking if your not out there you'll get nothing so off I went, short walk and bump into a family of three and off they ran only to stop and all turn broadside after 100 yards, in the mix this 1 X 2's feet were in the air after a boiler room shot and the work began.
The freezer is going to look better now!
