But there was sure no shortage of Moose. Walked up on a big bull, really big, but he walked off to the left, I went right. At first I thought it was some branches, or a tree root that looked like a moose...until it turned it's head. Anyhow, last day of ML deer (3-point or better) and elk. ("any elk")
Looking at the "Big Meadow' from a basalt up-thrust, which is private land, (on State Land, looking down at some private land) which the deer and elk "prefer". !!! Just on the other side of that rock is a good 75 yard straight down drop. The butterflies wanted out for sure.
Had some sunshine in the afternoon. Eating some snacks and waiting for something to walk by.
One of my favorite little-meadows to sit and watch. Fills up with water in the spring, but only a foot or so deep.
Some of the old fence lines out here are around 100 years old. Look how deep this wire grew into a big old tree.
Isn't Brown Rosie, Rose of Alabama pretty? Same tree that wire was almost running through the center. I took the TC out yesterday as I was expecting rain. I actually enjoyed using it. Doesn't have the feel and balance of the Jeager, of course, but it's really starting to grow on me. A 385 grain .500" slug over 80 grains of Swiss don't hurt my feelings either. So yeah, I'm liking the TC. But I LOVE my Jeager!
Coffee time! Been using the Swedish (Swiss?) cook-kit lately.
The Coffee kit packed up and ready to travel.
Unpacked and ready to make coffee. ! Well that's it for this year. Skunked again. Just as I was about 1/4 mile from the road, to get picked up and taken home, I'm going by this pond and there's ANOTHER bull moose approaching the pond for a drink. This one had much smaller antlers, but was not what I would call a "small" moose. (any such thing as a small moose?) I thought it was a moo-cow at first. I was going to walk by him, as he was on the other side of the pond, (small pond) but he started acting weird, I believe he might have thought I was "challenging" him over drinking rights. So, I had to back-track and take a mile detour around him. I'm not afraid of a bull moose hurting/killing me, as I don't believe one could get past my Jeager, but I sure don't want to shoot one, and have to go through all the red-tape and investigation with the game department. The moose here don't get hunted, and are getting way too tame. However, both them Moose say: "thanks for listening". That's it for 2023, unless I decide to do some cougar calling.
