[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3358253, member: 43754"] 2017 I gave myself a moose hunt in Northern Alberta for a 70th birthday gift. Hunted with [URL='http://www.bearpaw.ab.ca/'][u]BearPaw Outfitting[/u][/url]. I hunted for 9 days. This is a farmland hunt so big monster Alaska size moose were not expected. This is also a spot and stalk hunt. Drive to the edge of the field and glass. It was beautiful up there-the fall colors were spectacular. But unfortunately temperatures were in the 80's day and never freezing at night. The moose were coming out at night to feed. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.fototime.com_8FFCD2FFB0CC87A_standard.jpg[/IMG]. We saw a few moose, only cows, some amazing whitetail and Mule Deer, a few elk and lots and a lots of bear. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.fototime.com_C7AA6DC6F1FCBF0_standard.jpg[/IMG] [MEDIA=youtube]WnKCHwaod34[/MEDIA] The outfitter only had permits for 5 moose. One client was involved in a traffic accident on the way up and got to start their hunt later than rest of us. The out fitter did not usually hunt that late because of the weather. Two clients hunting at the same time as I did, did not see a bull moose and of course did not fill their tags. Another client got a moose the day after we left. The lady who was late coming up got a big monster moose. I did see one very large moose about day 5 or 6 probably a good mile away with about 10 minutes of shooting light left. Not a chance there. I did not see another bull moose until the last hour of the 9th and last day. We pulled into a field and immediately spotted a bull about 1/2 mile away across a canola field. We got out walked along the tree line about 100 yards sat down and the Guide started calling. In 10 minutes the moose was 40 yards away. I shot it with my 338-06 Ackley-using 250 gr, Sierra Gamekings. The guide had told me earlier on to keep shooting until the moose fell down or I ran out of ammunition. I emptied the gun-3 shoots. This is the first shot-in the heart. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.fototime.com_D9776454B08D316_standard.jpg[/IMG] Here is my celebratory video. [MEDIA=youtube]RGr886GSXEY[/MEDIA] He is not big moose, but he is my first moose and the biggest I have ever taken. I had the moose cut a wrapped up there. I had a small chest freezer and a generator in the back of the truck for 2000 mile trip home. Took two years for the wife and I to eat him. This years hunting trip will be elk in New Mexico, but we are talking about going back for moose to Bearpaw, maybe next year.[/URL] [/QUOTE]
