One day while on stand I had heard a bull grunting (no bull tag) interesting none the less, it was nearing the end of the day and I could hear some of the guys coming out from there stands, I got on the radio and told them what was going on so I asked my brother to come out to where I was and maybe we could get a look at this fellow, he stopped grunting but we called and we could hear him stomping around on the east side of the marsh and all of the suddena cow and a calf came running out of the bush from the west my brother and I opened up and dropped the calf, after a while the cow left, this isn't missmod distance but, it was 209 yards on the rangefinder in waist high beaver hay. Great day! 10

As you were saying in another post Giver, I also had the great oppourtunity of hunting with some of the greatest to hit the woods, my Dad and Uncles, mind you we did not start hunting moose until about 1989 (there were none in our area til then) there general knowledge of the woods made them great moose hunters, it seemed like it was instinct, my Dad and I had the pleasure of dropping a couple of calves together before he passed away, he was not only my mentor he was my best friend. 10

My dad passed on when i had just turned 15 so he and i never got to hunt moose together with me as a licenced hunter. I did get to spend alot of years with him on the trapline andin the bush with him. You are right them old timers have alot of knolage that they are willing to pass on if you are willing to listen..
