So there I was in early 1970's, moose hunting near Cherokee Lake. The bull in question was within 50 yards of us two hunters, but we were 1/2 mile from our weapons, which had been portaged on the first effort (another greenhorn mistake).
Nearly a four-minute mile in full hip-boot-dress, resuted in Alvin, having retrieved his British, placing two 150 grainers through the heart of a 1400-pound bull moose. The rest of the story is long and involves carrying meat, drinking and celebratation. I should write it down some day!
