Good enough for me after waiting 39 years for another moose permit....:) After the moose was boned, packed, and back to town, we decided to try for a wolf. My pal had two canis lupus tags in his pocket ready to be punched. We walked in about 4 miles to the head of a basin where he'd heard some howling a week or so ago. after calling, waiting and glassing for about two hours, these two eager beavers showed up. Wrong species, but good practice none the less. Elevation was 9000' give or take. Luck....is the residue of design...

You obviously haven't seen many of western Alaska's moose in pics! I won't steal thunder from this thread by posting any, but a couple links are here if you care to look. http://www.hunt101.com/data/544/medium/IMG_10674.JPG http://www.hunt101.com/data/590/medium/IMG_07773.JPG They do have the hiding thing mastered when cover gets scarce; gives one a new appreciation for their senses and how they use them.

Yep, looks like a beaut, perhaps especially for one killed in the 'desert'. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
