Moose 25

So glad I logged back in after a few months absence, I'm speechless, what an experience and result, many congrats!
Makes my hunting here look lame.
 
I'm blown away that people cross that river on a fourwheeler. Someone died there a few years back and I think a couple others have died there in the last 10-15 years. It seems to eat a few machines every year. Those moose buggies are the only way I'd even consider crossing it.

What a great trip. Curious on day of kill +/- Seems like rutting and response is really good around the 10-14, then sightings get better but they're less responsive to calling after that? I'm a novice moose hunter, always looking to learn.
 
Awesome hunt and write-up as usual @BearFoot. Massive bulls, cute little owl, Northern Pygmy looks like, and the ermine was a treat. Your grandsons are getting bigger every year. In a couple years they will be the ones doing the shooting, you will be the spotter sitting in camp, go get'um kids.

I enjoyed sitting and watching those kids work, but it wasn't really work. When you love what you do, it's not work. Loving what you do is Pleasing. It's not work at at all. It's Fun!
 
Just amazing the equipment you have adapted. Very impressed.

I'm curious how far do you drive in before reaching your camp?
We hunt several areas, and explore much. Moose are where you find them. Sometimes we find them less than a few miles from home. Other times it can take a day or three to reach camp. Driving can be 50 miles+

We are each year learning more and more by doing.
 
This is great. Congrats on your moose and the memories together. I also think it’s totally awesome that you can drive into a river and winch a wheeler straight up on your buggy. That’s a feet of engineering in itself! Not sure how else those guys would have salvaged that. You were certainly an answer to their prayers.
 
I can't even imagine how fun that must be. You're a blessed man to be able to do it with your son and Grands.
Thanks for the write up.
