Confused yet?) Anyway, I had missed a moose (yeah) in this swamp the year before due to what turned out to be a scope failure. Buddy was sick, so I just went and camped on that swamp until dark. Sure enough, here comes a nearly identical forky from nearly the exact spot as the one a year before. Got the spotter on him, confirmed legality, and knocked him down. Got back to camp, rounded up help and we had him hanging that night. Ok, early morning.... grin.

Funny how things work...

Riley killed his first moose in a pond about an hour from town. About 10PM I called for help.
Okay, I whined like a sissy girl...
45 minutes later someone shows up with his wife all dressed to go and fully geared up. It was a miserable floating job.
About 2AM the wife swats me in the chest with the back of her hand and laughs "and some people don't think this schit is fun!"

Some can always expect help...

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
