Another 9.3X62 moose.

Nice bull, Ted... happy BBQ'ing…

Our archery season was a write-off here for the most part, hot & windy... very little daylight movement, only heard one cow estrous bawling and only a couple bulls grunting after dark, I'm heading north on the train this morning for two weeks for the rifle season, weather looks much better for the next couple weeks.

No snow at all, Phil. Perfect conditions, called the night before, and he was waiting there in the morning.

Where do you take the train to?
 
Just got off the phone with 65cutlass. He sent me a very fine story about his moose hunt this Fall. I suggested he post it on CGN, and he said just put it in your thread, so here it is.

Hi Ted. Wonderful to hear you tell another moose hunting trip. I called 5 mornings from the same spot. Then on the sixth thought i seen new tracks, walked back the way i came by atv for about 50 ft. Lover boy grunted from up the hill. I didn't know if i actually herd what i had been wanting to hear for those other days. Sure enough he grunted again. So excited i was. Give a little, quiet cow call to say i was still interested. He was grunting and swaying his way down through the poplars. I nelt down by a spruce tree that on previous days i had been resting on (napping). My guess was he might be going to the spot i had been calling from. 13 paces to the front and 10 paces down hill in a small opening above a meadow in the bottom of the valley. I caught a glimps then lost sight, then he appeared again, coming staight to the calling spot. Wind was good from the west across his path to me. So xciting that this was really happening now. A few more steps , just a few more, completly broadside, left front leg steps forward aim for the lungs and heart. Pull the trigger on the 1895 Marlin guide gun, williams peep sight, HMS bear load 430 grain hard cast@ 1800 fps. 13 paces in front. Quickly lever another round and fire again due to lack of confidence that the first shot was good. One shot is all that was required, both lungs and center of the heart. Another few steps, stood still for a few seconds and then fell over. I thanked him for his life. I was able to back the atv right to him. The moose hunting course i took with you years ago is in practice with me now. Thankyou Ted.
