Well a ton of km's put on the boots since mid Sept, many close calls with a bow. Many moose from spikes to 50 inchers seen and had chances at couple big boys within a few hundred yards to one at 10 yrds on a 30 incher in sept that we let walk due to hot temps and the chance at a bigger boy.
October's bow season ended with two chances at 50 inchers in the last week but they were too far away(we are thinking one may have been this guy). Nov came and the bulls were gone, resting somewhere off the properties we hunted.
Sunday was a late start, got up a bit later than we wanted to(funny how a change can line up the gods) and we basically walked right into this guy at 8:15 am. 80 yrds, watched him make a perfect lung shot through the binos and I knew he had his first moose, moose went 20 steps into another shooting lane and the kid was already instructed to shoot again if the chance came. Nailed him in the neck and he dropped in his tracks. 19 yrs old, shot on the 19th and his first big game animal. What a fun season starting with a bow and finishing with a rifle. The smiles are still shining bright on the kid and me. You really do live through your kids. Tapes out at 54 inches
