This day was one of my favourite of the whole season due to a couple firsts that happened for us. First, I’ll talk about Jack and what a little trooper he was in this adventure. We had killed this bull on the 26th of November. He had spent around 8 days with us up to that point looking for a moose. Over 200kms on the quad for him and a number of naps, we finally got one in -24C around 11:30am. He was happy to be a part of the adventure and said “this is like watching a movie”.
We were so proud of him for how he handled his first moose hunt and kill!
Aside from the times Bronson, Dad and I went out with Jack, we had spent another 8 days hunting. Seeing a number of bulls, but just not the right bull for us. A little snow and some cold weather the last week of November made all the difference for us as we headed out that morning. We seen 1 bull the first hour of shooting light with no shot. We stopped for a snack and made a quick game plan. Dad had asked what time it was, he had said this is around the same time C**t killed his bull. Let’s go back over there and get another one.
We headed out, and not 15 minutes later we came across 2 bulls standing broad side at 200 yards. Bronson and dad got setup for a shot as I called to the bulls so they would stay put. With a squeeze of the trigger, all we could see was 4 legs go straight up in the air as she dropped the bull in its tracks with a perfect shot.
Making memories like this with family is hard to beat and we look forward to continuing to make them, for the years to come. Our families freezers are now full, as are our bellies.
