Top: moose from 2007Bottom: 2006
Another year of moose hunting and after calling last years bull within 7 yards of me, it should be easy right? NOT THE CASE.
Well Shea and I took of to Big Sandy Lake lodge in Sept. and hunted hard for 4 days. We did everything from calling , walking, quading and even renting a boat and hunting the lake to no avail.
So away we go again in October. All we see again are tracks and more tracks. We even had moose tracks on our tracks. Very frustrating. However on our last day we finally got some luck and come across a Bull with a cow and two calves. So I shot the bull and he swam out into a lake about 40 yards and died. Right on we got our moose, but wait one of the calves has antlers to so Shea shoots it and it drops on the shore line. Nice and Dry for Shea.
Now for the fun part. I strip down and after some encouraging words from Shea dive in and swim out to my moose that is floating in 15 feet of water. Man you don't know COLD WATER until you go swiming in the middle of October up north.
But it was well worth it. Hopefully 2008 will bring another Moose as we are Hooked on hunting them.
