14. You decide to wait and the bigger moose gets spooked and runs away and then you just start firing hail Mary's at the big moose and used all your bullets and so u have to head home before you go to camp and pack up you watch the little moose prance away.

15. So decide to walk through the bush all you saw was a cow. After about 20 minutes after that you have made it to an opening and all you seen was one coyote run across the meadow. So you can sit and call hear or go and check the river out. Sitandcall Gototheriver

18. So you decide to wait a little longer to see if a moose will walk out. Its been about 2 minutes and then you seen a dark figure just inside the tree line. You look at it for a few seconds trying to figure out what it is. So then you put your binoculars on and look at the spot where the dark figure was. When you put your binoculars on the spot where the dark figure was it was gone. Then through your binoculars you see the head of something, something big, next thing you know bigfoot is running straight at you. Before you know it your dead!

19. So you decide to leave it alone and you see absolutely nothing and don’t hear anything and you were here for 45 minutes. You can walk to the lake and sit and call for a little bit and hope a bull comes out or you can go back to camp and hope you can see a moose on the way there. Walktothelake Gotocamp

20. So you decide to stay to sit and call. You have been there for roughly about 10 minutes when a immature bull moose walks out into the meadow. You are thinking should I shoot it or leave it and hope you see a bigger moose. Shootit Leaveitalone

21. So you decide to leave the immature bull alone and hope you see a bigger bull but you’ve been hunting day in and day out and seen nothing. It was the last day and you only went hunting for about an hour because you had to go back home because your time was up. You sadly went home empty handed but it was a great experience.

22. So you decide to sit and call and you’ve been there for about 45 minutes and just getting ready to leave when a cow walks out into the clearing and you are watching it hoping a bull will walk out. You are debating whether you should wait a little longer or go back to camp and decide where you will go after lunch. Wait a littlelonger Gobacktocamp

23. So you to walk down the mountain the opposite way the moose ran and it took about 20 minutes because its quicker on the way down. You get down the bottom and so see something white and your thinking what in world is this thing. It hasn’t spotted you yet so you decide stand still and watch to try and figure out what it is. So you sitting there for about 15 minutes just watching it move along and then you catch something it the corner of your eye. It was a small immature bull that walked up to the white thing. The white thing ended up being an albino moose. The albino moose just bolts as soon as the immature bull comes so you can either shoot the immature moose or just go rest at camp. Shootit Restatcamp

24. So you decide to chase the moose down the mountain but the way the moose ran down was on the opposite side of the trail which made it pretty rough! So you didn’t see the moose while you were running down the mountain because the bush was really thick until you are almost near the bottom and there was a straight stretch of grass. Then u just see the moose go into the bush at the other end of the straight stretch. You have a couple of choices you could sit and call and hope it comes back or walk back and take a rest at camp. Sitandcall Walkback

25. So you decide to walk to the top lake and hope that gives you a chance to shoot a moose. On your way to the lake you seen a cow in an opening. Once you seen that cow you decided right away you were going to sit and watch. You watched for about 15 minutes then it finally casually walked away feeding on the grass. After about 10 minutes you make it to the out skirts of the lake. Just inside the bush line you slipped and hit your head on a rock. He got a little cut on his head but it was pretty deep. Your said, “ it looks like you need stitches”. so the first thing you did was run to the other side of the lake and go down the trail, hopped on the quad, rushed to camp, and hopped in the truck and went straight to the hospital.

26. So you decide to shoot the small immature moose and its grazing away eating the grass. So you decide to watch the moose for a little while. After about a minute you put a bullet in the chamber. Then you pull the trigger, then you hear a click, you try again then click. After the second the moose’s hears shoot up to try to hear what that click was. Then they slowly go down. When they go down you look to see what was wrong with your gun and safety was on. You take the safety then boom the moose runs into the bush. Viewtrophy

27. So you decide to walk back to camp and you seen a cow and it looked like there was another moose with it and you start running after it because it starts prance away. You look back at your partner then BOOM you run into a tree. Your heads bleeding and you are very dizzy, your not able to walk so your partner helps you back to camp and rush's you to the hospital. The good news is your fine but the bad news is you wont be able to hunt for the rest of the season.  The moose run right through your camp and there was a little bull with the cow you caught the picture of both the moose on your game camera.

28. So you decide to go check out the willows, as soon as you get there, there is a huge moose in the bottom corner of the willows. So you walk to the top of the hill so you get a good shot off. When you get to the top of the hill you put your cross airs right on the moose's lungs then BOOM! The moose runs right into the bush and then drops.
