Spent 18 days in the field this year. We got three bulls at camp, including a 14 year old young man his first bull moose! I didn't get mine until the absolute last evening I could hunt before I had to head back home. Saw the flash of some antlers way out, over a mile away and let out a loud cow call. He looked right at us and then came in hot the whole distance. I was getting a little worried at the end as I was running out of shooting light quick and he kept hanging up the last few hundred yards in a nasty part of a swamp. I got him to come to 140 yards and when he turned broad side I took my shot. He whirled around and started right back to the nasty swamp so I put another in him which dropped him down in a wet, but not completely nasty piece of ground, lol. It was my 11 year old's birthday and he has always wanted to see a moose go down, and he had a front row seat to the action! I think he was more excited than I was when he dropped. I normally don't let people sit on moose for pics, but the swamp water was over his little rubber boots so I put him up on the moose island for the picture.
