Bullwinkle Down!
I managed to shoot a moose this morning on my way home from a weekend moose hunt. This was my third weekend hunt. I was solo this weekend. I managed to skin, quarter, and pack him .25 mile in 5 hours. Just a meat bull. Here's some pictures from the hunts.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Good stuff. What make is the Sidelock Shotgun ?

When I first read the post, I thought you had said 25 miles in 5 hours. I thought that was quick so re read it and then saw the "." before the 25 !!!

Those pictures bring back some pleasant memories!

One thing I really envy the Alaskan folks is the availability of moose meat! Good stuff!

You were in deed lucky, not many "any bull" areas close to a road system

Did you have a draw permit?

Again Brett through Frostbit,

Perhaps some confussion over the picture of the first bulls. FYI neither of the bulls in the first few pictures were the bull I shot. Those are sub legal 30some" bulls with 1-2 brow tines. From a previous weekend in unit 13. Hope that clears it up.
