[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3358305, member: 27673"] Thanks for sharing your hunt with us [USER=43754]@TheDoubleD[/USER]. I was fortunate enough to make several fishing trips to northern Canada and the NWT back in the early 90's. I saw a few moose, from maybe 150 yds., while on drop off float plane / fly-in fishing trips on the south end of Great Slave Lake in the NWT and the upper end of Atahabasca Lake in Saskatoon. All the sightings were when I was drifting down rivers and casting with the motor off and I'd come around a bend and they'd be out in a shallow lagoon eating.....very impressive animals even from 150 yds. or so away, they'd just look up and trot back to the brush. Was in camp on Great Slave one day around noon eating cold leftover from the night before fried walleye sandwiches and beans for lunch and out of nowhere a local Indian appeared in a small alum. boat. I shared my lunch with him and he said that he was moose hunting and of course with me being a gun nut I ask if I could look at his rifle. He had a old beat up WW2 Lee Enfield chambered in 303 Brit that had bailing wire wrapped around the barrel at the fore end to keep the barrel in the stock, duct tape wrapped around the wrist of the stock to repair a cracked stock, he had tacked on the sole of a old sneaker or flip flop to the end of the stock for a recoil pad and he was using surplus military ammo not commercial. He was really proud of that beat up old rifle and said that his uncle had given it to him a few years earlier before he passed away and that he'd taken a moose every year with it since he'd had it.......from the way he talked he just fired at any part of the moose he could see and then tracked it till he found it. Gave him two or three more leftover fried walleye fillets and a couple cheap cigars for the road and never saw him again. [/QUOTE]
