Well two weeks til I go to moose camp . I will be bringing the .54 smoothrifle and 12 bore musket along.I also hope to bag a few grouse and maybe a black bear . We still hunt and dont use a bait so wèll have to find them.

Good luck to all that are hunting this season

Good luck (Waidmanns Heil) for your hunt.

Pictures would be really nice, as I've seen a couple of yours already and found those made me start dreaming about lands far far away.

Good luck you!Same here,I'm leaving on the 17 to area 39.Got my deer, moose and bear tags, but I'll be happy if I can only get a couple of grouse.
I'll take the .45 and .54 .I hope to come across a moose calf since I'm just going by myself.That pretty much makes dragging an adult moose out of the bush next to impossible.
Where are you going?

12 October I'm heading to WMU 4 north of Sioux Lookout, Taking my TC Going after a calf as well since I missed the draw :cursing:
My cousin got drawn for bull so thas good too.
I can't wait!!

Don't drag it, just learn the gutless method of field dressing and pack it out!!!!

Were in 41 north of hwy 17 between Northbay and Sudbury.A calf is still a fair big piece to carry ...count on being sore after thatLOL...I know I was :haha:
Good luck to you. what town are you nearest when you hunt.

 

[hawk]

Thats alittle more north than were we are LOL.Are you leaving from CFB Bordon ,thats a fair drive if you are. I was thinking my renegade rifle too ...still might drag it out for a day ...so many guns so little time. :haha:

Good luck to you and your gang.

Yes, a moose, even little, is BIG. Back when my partner and I killed a moose it took us 6 trips to pack out that moose. My partner suffered a heart attack on the third trip and it took me an additional two more trips just to pack HIM out. :rotf: :rotf: :hmm:

 

[Moose Guide]

I used to guide moose hunts, some hunters develope a bad knee or back right after shooting a large bull :rotf: 6 trips is about right for a good bull!

Yup!,the first moose I ever shot, I was alone. He was directly accross a small river from my camp when I shot him. Luckily, he was only about 20 meters from shore when he went down. Only took 7 hours to break him down, drag him piece by piece to the canoe, & 3 trips to ferry him accross to camp.
If you've never been close to one, it's hard to realize how big they are. 6' from the front hoof to the top of his shoulder blade. And then he keeps going up from there.

I lived 10 years in Alaska and seen many a moose. So I can certainly respect the amount of work it must have been to pack out that moose.

I asked Tomah,a Penobscot friend,how the NA got a moose back to camp.
Tomah smiled and said they didn't,,they moved the camp to the moose. :rotf: :rotf:
