Dad and i yukon bull moose

[gunslinger]

Well after 14 days of total exhaustion and mountain house for supper i am very happy to say that me and dad both killed bull moose, i got a real slammer of a bull too.

Our trip led us into the unknown as we were going to do a back pack float trip down the wind river in the yukon, i guide him and he guide me. we were dropped off and told to float that way.

Dad is 57 years old and im very glad i had hinm along, i called both bulls fromn about a mile away with cow calls and we shot them only about 400 yards from our little airstrip we built for the plane, when your backpacking these big old boys you want them close thats for sure.

I am sitting here in my room and cant sleep of course becasue i can hear trucks and noise,lol. As soon as i get home i will post pics for sure, but what a hunt i will say.all of it caught on my new hd video camera, dads bull come to about 45 yards just slobbering and swaying back and forth ready to fight , IT WAS AWSOME.

Dream hunt.. Me and the old man up in the Yukon chasing big bull moose. One day.. One day..

Congrats and good job on amazing animals!

[gunslinger]

i would sit up on this point and it was like i didnt ever want to leave, and then all of a sudden after what seemed like days out a bull would pop. There so huge but yet you cant even see them in the bush.

Congrats to you and your pop's Pat. Couple of fine looking bulls. I keep telling dad we should go on a hunt like that in the Yukon but I thinks TJ's luck up there keeps us at home.

Cheers

[grizzler]

Awsome bulls Slinger, great pictures also!

[Grover]

Congradulations to the both of you! Looks like you guys had an amazing time.

[gunslinger]

Well after dad put that great bull down up in the yukon he headed out to nordegg for his moose draw and this morning was the first mornign he got to hunt and called a 50 incher in and shot it at 40 yards.....After being snakebitten on the moose hes having quite a year....be awsome to see the pictures when he gets home.

[medicmoose]

Ha ha nice good for him. Dad and little bro are in camp for a week chasing bulls. I guess they bumped one little bull (30")while moving into camp but didn't get a chance at him with having to dig out camera gear it let him slip off. Knowing jake he woulda shot him hes all about putting meat in the freezer and not bone on the wall.

[gunslinger]

Yup they are going hard right now, im up here on the rig right now at dawson and we have seen three bulls right around the area here, all with cows and coming in hard.

[Pudelpointer]

Hummmmmmmm-dingers!
