So for fathers day me and my dad hit up some promising new hunting ground. As soon as we hit the dirt road this big doe spooked out from some shurbs and let me snap some pics.

Just after spliting up with my dad i came across this fallen tree which almost made me turn back and get some help to move it.

After i found the quad i pulled onto the road to call it a day. About half way down the moutain to my surprise in almost the same spot i stoped to take the first 2 videos i came across a spike fork moose! So i cut the engine to take some pics and then suddenly he started walking towards me!

Glad you had a great fathers day! Do you have that moose tied up till season opens? LOL :)

[Jagermeister]

Geez, Phipott Road! I remember hunting that way back in the late 60s. They were just starting to log that area back then and there were no moose. Just lots of mule deer. Never went up that road without a saw though. For some reason we always encountered windfalls, going in or coming out.
I think that moose is inflicted with some sort of wart virus. Really not that uncommon although most times you don't see that many lumps. Don't believe the meat would be affected and they are usually attached by a thin string like attachment. I got one once that had a couple like those and when the moose was skinned, they just came off with the hide.
