Went up to my cabin for thanksgiving and to try a fill my leh . Saturday morning found me and my dad in one of my favorite moose spots did some calling and glassing and nothing to show for . Went up the road and seen are 1st cow moose and watch her for a while ,she was by herself .Seen another cow moose later on again all by herself .Seen close to 20 does and fawns that morning as.
well . Back to the cabin for breakest and out again for a look around with my nephew ,who also has the draw . Are neighbor had seen a big bull all buy himself that morning so we where off to have a look . We never did find it but did see a cow calf . Back out again that night and seen another cow moose and lots of does and fawns no bucks .called it a day and back to cabin for dinner and some beer's . Back out again sunday and we seen more cow moose and deer, finally seen a couple of small bucks but I am tag out for mulie in that area and my dad could not get a shot off. Back to the cabin for the day to do some work and turkey dinner . We had a early dinner that my brother and sister inlaw had made . WHAT A AWSOME MEAL. Great food and great friends .After dinner back out again seen another cow moose and more deer no shooters. Called it a day and back for beers around the fire. Next morning back at it again to another good spot .Got there a daybreak and seen a cow moose watch her for close to 45 mins a nothing else around .Did some calling and more glassing but could not locate any more moose . We countinued on and seen some deer and met up with my neighbor. We talked for a bit a countinued on again a came across a pile of ravens that where feeding on a gut bag from a deer . Before we know it i see my neighbor driving like a mad man towords us .He tells me there are 3 moose back down the road where we just where and one is a big bull .Off we go back as I come into the block I see them .It's a long shot so I came up with a game plan ,I left my dad with my neighbor and took a radio and stayed in contact with them . On my weigh in I seen 2 more moose but couuld not tell if any where bulls. I closed the gap to within 100 yards .I seen a cow 1st and then i seen a bull . 1st shot into the boiler room and he walked about 20 feet and then i put one into his neck for save keeping and it was all over . Bull down . My dad and neighbor witnessed the whole thing from where they where standing . I would like to thank my dad , neighbor's and brother in law and my nephews for there help . Back up now to fill the other leh and maybe a couple of immy's for the other's in are group.
