It's in the sticky above, page 28.
The cameras this year proved to be a great advantage to our moose hunt. i checked them every couple of days. It showed where the moose were.
I plan on taking a bunch more up for next year.
The only complaint I have on this years hunt was that the first of the week was too warm and buggy. We had a great time, and I walked many miles, proving I ain't dead yet. I got 'lost' in the fog. Well, not really, i just crossed the wrong creek. As soon as I looked at my compass and realized that north was now south in relation to the water, I figured it out, pulled out my GPS, Fired it up, battery went dead, put in my spares, took a bearing, shut it off, and walked to a different exit point using the compass. It's an advantage of having spent many years in the bush, and knowing the area well. When i was a young gaffer, i'd have freaked out, and re-traced my steps. Now, I'm not a mountain goat, and re-crossing that cliff bound creek was the last thing i wanted to do. Know your area, or carry a map. To be honest, i didn't need the GPS. It's nice to have confirmation though.
We got two 2.5yr old moose this year, one bull, one cow, ending a five year dry spell, in which we either had no tags, or saw no moose. I think Jay (new to our group) was beginning to think there were none.
