Bailed out and came back the next day and we came back the next day and my buddy got him. You came back twice? Don’t “art” his story. And a polite GFY to you!

Nice bull! Well done. Was that in a 3 brow area? Last edited by las; 09/27/19. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Why no bag on the bou? Yep, it helps a little - a habit formed from sheep season. And from a story last year about a runaway ball of maggots that ran down the windshield and into the fresh air intake on the buggy, causing me to have to tear the SOB apart at the busiest time of the year. Had kind of forgot about the bou by that point, but it eventually got a bag to keep the maggots IN.

That was my plan too- to go to our remote cabin in an "any bull" area and hunt the full season or until we dropped one of any size. A fire in our rental apartments canceled this year's moose hunt out, but then I didn't really need a moose anyway - Freezer already full of caribou and fish. Mostly it was to be a trip to the cabin.... Next year.... Last edited by las; 09/29/19. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I shot a 3 year old cow through liver into the ventricles of the heart on my archery range from my front door and she made it 10 yards before laying down in a spot on the powerline.

I'd say you've earned it.

Mostly it was to be a trip to the cabin.... Next year.... That’s basically what I did but I don’t have a cabin so I loaded up. Y boat and went up river, ended up getting the moose after 8 days. Had a blast driving around and just slept in the boat and got a lot of fishing in as well.

I shot one that was 42ish last year because he made the mistake of having 4 brow tines.
