    Day trip to 3-13 - heavy on pics

    I have a moose and mulie tag burning a hole in my wallet so I figured I should take a quick day trip and visit a spot where I had seen some moose many moons ago.

    The weather was quite "fresh", at -2C at the summit. There was also plenty of fresh snow.





    I took up a vantage point and watched. This is all I saw:





    Went for a drive up to higher country. Again, nothing but snow and nice scenery.





    A grouse decided to sacrifice itself, much to my daughter's delight.





    The spot where I had seen moose before didn't disappoint. It yielded a moose to someone else. I found the cape and head (with antlers removed). Was it one of you? The area is the very southern edge of 3-13.


    Anyways, I thought my daughter and I would go for a quiet stroll. We scared up a grouse, saw lots of squirels and some fairly fresh moose tracks and very fresh deer tracks. I did some cow calls, but to no avail. And that is it.








    Oh yes, there was a small flock of mallards on a pond. They were really nice birds.





    It felt really nice to be outside.

    Good for you for getting out. The smile on the little one makes the day a success.
    Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!

    Looks to me like you had a fantastic day with your daughter! Add something to the" introducing daughters" thread.
    It's great to see some new up and coming hunters our boys and girls getting out there with their dads ..... and the odd mom too.
    Thanks for sharing the pics!
    Good luck the rest of the season.
