hey Tarcher, ya we saw a half dozen or so a day but nothing legal. i know my pictures make it look nice and sunny, but it actually rained and was socked in for all nine days except for about 10 hours over that time. didnt get up into the higher country because of it.

[gbear]

Some great pictures, and congrats on a succesful hunt with your dad

I will throw a extra wet in and Don't forget the snow but hell it was wet to. Sorry we poached your lake but from your pics you were in a pretty sweet spot.

[Goliath]

Congratulations on a great trip with pops! He looks like a super chap.

It's been many years since I've done a fly in hunt with my pop (coincidently 74 yrs old this yr). Might be time to do it again before it's too late.

Thanks for the inspiration.

[buckguy]

Fantastic pics. Looks like great hunt. Congrats.

[Phreddy]

Man your dad is lucky. A fly in moose hunt up in the northern area is on my bucket list, but I doubt I will ever be able to afford it. What beautiful country in those pics. Glad you had a safe and successful trip.

[Springer]

Congrats on your Hunt and thanks for the great pics. It takes time to put a post together with pics and it is appreciatted. I love the saying on Bruces plane about eating Moose and 12000 wolves cant be wrong..

[pg83]

So great to gets your dad out with you at his age, thanks for this thread!

[yiorgo3]

Great Picutres. Glad to see you guys had a great time

[Shade Tree]

That looks like time pretty well spent...your Dad looks like he still has a few hunts left in him.

[Stillhunting]

Thanks for sharing, that is one tasty looking moose.

[Richardj]

Good for you. As said many times, what great memories. Great pictures, and I've seen your Dad's pictures here at the Cove and they are great as well. Makes one want to be there. He's still pretty stoked! Heard lots of good stories as well.
Havng dinner with your Mom and Dad tomorrow at G & B's. Thanks again for sharing.. Rick

[jrjonesy]

Great Pics! Looks like you had a great trip...too bad about the weather. Your Dad was telling me about your planned trip earlier in the summer when I was out visiting my parents at the Cove (see Richardj above). Glad you had a good time!

[Mik]

Looks like you had an awesome time, well spent with your dad. Congrats on the moose.

[LYKTOHUNT]

One member commented that your Dad is lucky to have gone on the trip and he is correct but I think you are the luckiest to be able to share that with him.
I think that type of hunt would be tough enough for much younger hunters ,so Your Dad being out there is awesome ,he must be one tough dude.
Good for both of you

[nature girl]

Thats great you and your Dad went hunting together. I bet at night your Dad was telling you some good stories of the old days.
