Went out this morning and had a bit of luck shooting a bull, not a monster by moose standards but a trophy to me. I had an epic float hunt planned for moose this fall but my wife is pregnant and due early October so I nixed that. I had this weekend to go out and though I doubted success I kept telling myself you can’t get lucky sitting on the couch. Made it out to the trail early this morning and got to a vantage point to start calling and sure enough the bull started coming my way. It wasn’t long before I could hear it grunting. I would grunt back and it would pause and listen then walk my way. After the bull was down I realized I was solo about a mile from the trail and two more miles on the trail. A bit overwhelming but I only have one quarter left to grab tomorrow morning.
After running out for numerous long shot weekend hunts the last words I said was I probably won’t get lucky but one of these days a short hunt will work. Today was that day and couldn’t be happier.
