Moose, The handle comes from work unfortunately and not hunting. I travel Internationally for a data communications equipment maker and have been in 40 or 50 countries. Just moved back to Alabama from Hong Kong.
As for hunting, I Elk and deer hunt in Montana for a week to 10 days most years and have been to British Columbia a couple of times for Moose. Booked this year and next with my friend in Montana. Will be sending the deposit in the next week or so for the 05 hunt, since my buddy has been and liked it and no one here had anything bad to say.
From memory, my hunt will be something like the 7th of September through the 18th? Definitely Moose but thinking hard about the Grizzly too, though that adds SUBSTANTIALLY to the price. Have to see how it goes the next couple of years but I do not have to decide on that until early 05.
Hope your hunt goes well. Look forward to hearing about it when you get back. TM
