Coupe nice ones there.

Looking forward to following the post again this year sooner, best of luck.

And I was out Saturday on this property clearing trails, nada. Sunday supper time I get this text from the land owner where the big boy came off last year. Seen while checking his fence line. So 2 have my interest now lol.

Took the am off, went for a walk. Seen a Cow/calf and a cow. Seeing rubs in the trees and the start of piss holes. I think the rut is almost here  .

Loving it sooner, keep on him.

Thinking it’s a matter of time Sooner, you have a good population there it looks like and you know what your doing. Like the updates and stories please keep it coming.

Well a good walk about yesterday, made it a explore fringe ridges and knolls that I have walked by a hundred times kinda day. Found a real nice lookout where a farm field borders about 1/8th of a km away surrounded by bush and ponds. Lots of buck sign and it looks like a travel route. Good for Rifle season and the rut.

Then at the end of my walk I came back from checking my trail cam through a well known bog where we always see moose. I jumped one from it's bed but did not see it. As I slowly walked, I looked down to make a solid step around some nasty stuff, when I looked up, this guy had come around to the trail at the back of the bog and was 80 yards and facing me. He is a beauty bull. So watched him trot away through a draw and knowing where he was going, got onto the next east trail and caught him swimming across a pond. Bad pics but he could be the tank we seen two weeks back. My cheap range finder put him at 200 yrds from the trail I was on to the other side of the pond.

4 days until rifle Fun fun

Neat pictures Sooner. I’m still amazed after years of hunting this animal how it moves though any kind of terrain.

Well 3 days straight and boy was it slow. Typical hunting, deer walking in your boot prints when you leave and moose tracks during the night but nada during the day. Almost mirrored from last season, the drought period after the rut. The time you get disheartened about the lack of sightings. I was sent a pic of a trail cam moose that was literally 1 city block in length away from where me and the kid were walking at that time lol. I am sharing the big parcel of land with a WT hunter so we text back and forth so that I don't screw up his stand area. I will stay to the east side of the property if I know he is sitting. And he sends me pics of the moose on his cam or that he sees.

Here is Mr Moose on his cam. Kinda want to see him in person.

Then on Saturday, the kid and i were putting the km's on in the big property, walking every trail, rattling here and there. We get to one spot and rattle into a clearing. Nada. When we decide to keep walking, the kid takes one step and says something aint right. So I take a look. I say it sure looks like a bedded bull. We could only see the left shovel. As we look, he is like a statue, wind hard in our face so he can't smell or hear us. As I'm watching, I see his ear rotate. Then we confirmed what we thought was a moose. Well he stands and it is a small bull, maybe 30 incher but amazing how they can be invisible in those tall willows when bedded.

Party kid decided to sleep yesterday so I was solo and I spent all day out there slowly walking, watching and only got the crap scarred out of me by a grouse. Seen some good moose tracks so I know their walking around, seen some fresh buck scrapes so knowing the rut is coming fast is exciting. Fun fun.

Thanks Sooner, any day now I think.

You'll get em sooner.
