Tagged out early in the season which is odd for me. I usually seem to drag it out till the last weekend in the freezing cold and the bucks are all rutted out-lol! Oh, well maybe back to some bird hunting with the pup.

Moose Masher. Was that moose take in Manitoba ? If so around what Latitude ? If so are they rutting there then? Just wanting to compare provinces BC where I live and Manitoba . Im assuming they rut the same time in both provinces as it is the amount of daylight that trigggers the rut
Thanks

That moose was taken in NW Ontario. Latitude is close to 52.
We tend to hunt from around Sept 20 to Oct 3 or so. The rut is in full swing then.

Hasn’t been a post here for awhile, so I’ll drop one in here.
I like peoples hunting pics and stories.
Got this quirky antlered elk yesterday at 7am with my bow.
Was walking down a deer trail to a meadow spot I know for the wind that day to deer hunt, and saw his black mane and some antler standing in a thick tangle of blown down 50 yards away, he saw me too
He moved off away from me into a big spruce patch that grows around a bog there and barked at me twice.
I thought about slowly moving after him but figured that would be practically hopeless with a bow and should just go to my meadow. I stood there for awhile and he barked again, but only a little bit farther away than before and not panicky, a quite bark. I waited, a minute later, another quite bark from same spot.
He didn’t sound very spooked and It was a light cross wind, him to me from the start. I circled around as quite and hidden as I could in his direction to a small meadow about 75 yards away and calf chirped a few times. A cow chirp, couple calf chirps. Wait, couple cow chirps, wait. He strolled right out into the meadow almost broadside, 35 yards and got pinned. Hit was OK, off from perfect though, back of lungs and liver.
I sat on a log for two hours to not push him, then it started to rain so I had to start trailing. Good blood trail for 50 yards then it started pouring out. It screwed me, lost his trail. I just kept following logical looking routes he could have taken in different directions looking for a corpse. Pinned him at 7am, found him done in his bed at 1pm, 185 meters away by GPS straight line. Tough animals these elk. If I hadn’t found him yesterday I would have been there this morning and let the ravens tell me where he was. It was 12:30 that night before I was done and sitting back in the truck after boning and pack framing him out. I have a sore left knee today, LOL.

Nice! Tell us the story.
After a bunch of years guiding and finally becoming a Yukon resident I took a season to hunt. Our frost trip found us looking at a really nice 38”+ ram July 31 afternoon. He and his buddies fed their way right to us until they caught our scent and moved off. We spent 4 days scouring that block of hills before returning home. The next day I booked a charter flight into another lake friends had luck at the year before.
After landing and a 3 hour hike we spotted this guy and 6 others in a valley bottom . Snow , sleet fog and rain settled in for the night but thankfully by noon the next day it cleared up and I made a successful play on him.
the ram that got away….
