Terry, that is truly sad.
I feel for you man. I know you have that moose hunt tradition embedded in your soul. It is a special time spent in the bush, living out of a wall tent with family and friends.
We are in the same boat this year too. No one in my small hunting group has a moose draw this year for the first time in many years.
As you know, I am a moose hunter in my heart of hearts just like you. Sheep hunters go on about how loyal they are to that hunt, but I know for a fact that we have moose hunt blood that is likely as strong or stronger than that.
