I had seem Deer tracks, Dad told me that what they were. But even tracks were a rare treat. And there weren't a lot of Wolves around either.
But there were Moose. Way more then there is now.

It was not unusual to see several Moose at one time. And dad shot more then one from our front step over the years.
We got to skip school when that happened. All hands on deck for butchering! Good times!
It is interesting how things change. On a property I hunt... for the first time since it was settled 120 years ago elk are showing up. There have never been elk in that area. The first wolf in 80-90 years too.
