Moose Camp 2005


No moose shot, plenty seen and loads of sign, just no calves in the area. (only had a calf tag)

The wolves need a good thinning out in the area. Any area that is sandy looks like a pack of dogs had a poker party on it.

Good thing there were lots of grouse to be had, not bad for a 600m round trip walk from camp.

gth...what size is that tent?as compaired to our,s you use the pole,s to set up..also with ours we use a propane heater...works awsome :wink: just one less task to get firewood

I never thought to use birds to hold a tarp down, much easier and more fun than hauling sandbags in from town

The tent is 14x16 Cantex Wall tent. The walls are 6' with a 10' peak. I have a kerosene heater for night time. Our wood stove is small and compact and works very well, you just cant get enough wood in it to last a long cold night. The kerosesene heater is 24000 btu's and will put you out of the tent on a -15C night because its so warm.

Ours came with the poles, absolutely genius setup. I can put it up by myself in less than 40 minutes. I got the tent and poles for 500 bucks. The poles alone retail for around $1100


I spent $$$ on a nice Chainsaw that only runs for a bout a cord a year on the moose hunt. So I like to cut my own wood. With all the slash piles it only takes about an hour to cut a weeks worth of wood.

And yes, grouse work well at holding down tarps, as do moose hides and rougue bears........ :lol:

in our tent..we double up a huge tarp on the floor the to keep out dampness.....then we lay down a huge felt cloth(the ones they use in the paper mills)keeps all toasty warm even in bare feet on a real cold night

Once the gravel floor gets warm, it hold heat very well.


We also have a roll of carpet for the floor, but this pic was just after we got the tent erected.

and the deer camp.

I guess you could call this a " shack on stilts". It has 3 floors including ground floor. The 8'x8' shack sits on a 16 foot high timber frame...is insulated and has a wood-burning stove...comfy . Counted 24 deer within 800 yds. last evening ...only two bucks

PS have this pic posted(and others) on the Photosection

 

[Claven2]
