A moose is a moose by any other name is a mooses moose. When your walking and they are wet and glistening, ie that fresh, it gets the heart a pounding... Rickster, nope not outta your spot.. accross in back of the camp. Thanks Jen, its hard to tell ya how much I enjoy that place... Ha ha.... but ya..... Peanut butter and Jam!! Nope... poor Betty Lou didn't get to bark an anything this year... first time in five or six years she doesn't

Well... this was my tenth anniversary going on this particular trip.. It was a bit cut short this year due to some of the partys scheduling conflicts but we "got 'er dun" anyway. The weather certainly didn't cooperate though, it was very warm and rainy for much of the trip (Although.. I cleaned up on the fishing side bets, the crib side bets and finally the Texas Hold 'em.. lol.. by the end of that day nobody was talking to me.... ) and game wasn't moving around as much as it could have been. However, that being said it was the first year we filled our moose tag. We generally don't hunt for moose till all the deer tags are filled but this year one of the guys was in the right place at the right time and we got a nice bull moose. The deer hunting was very slow, no lack of deer, tons and tons of sign, but the chances for shooting were few and far between at the beginning of the hunt. It should be a banner year for any one hunting a bit later. We wound up with three deer, not a banner year, but still meat on the table. Combined with the moose, thats around 200 lbs of meat for the freezer per man this year, which makes up for the lack of deer (LOL... um.. I think were gonna pay a bit more attention to the moose hunting from now on.) For those of you traveling out west DO NOT stop to eat at the Husky in Nipigon if your looking to make time... we stopped for a quick lunch on the way back that took 1.5 hours in a restaurant that wasn't busy... and we all ordered the same thing. Anyway heres some pictures of the adventure.. all told we saw/jumped 8 moose and 23 deer. I personally had my first walking encounter with a VERY LARGE timber wolf... i looked over my shoulder the rest of that day ill tell ya. We also watched a black bear sit on the railway tracks and watch my buddy on his stand for 15 min.. before I ran down the tracks and scared him away. Heres the moose from where it was shot... back to camp.. and then to the butchers in Fort Frances. My favourite watch. Big Buck Bob AKA Moz... in his new tree stand. Nice fresh moose droppings!! I was bored and took this picture of Betty Lou. Moz getting the finer points of skinning... Ahhh... deer tenderloin at the camp in salt pepper and onions... melts in your mouth!! At this point I was outta breath..... Bestest camp mouse trap ever!! Bye Bye till next year.... booooo hoooooo..... Some scenery shots on the way home... And the fun begins.... Even the meat mans gotta take a break!! Well thats it till next year.. I can't wait to go back...

Im here..... a bit on my plate right now.. ill get the post ready.... geeezzzzz

Wipe my butt.... while I was runnin'

im gonna puke....

I should tell the story of that wreck as I know it... I know there was a board member who was related to the lady in the car... I think (i may be wrong on a fact or two...) that they had just purchased the car and were headin back down the highway south of North Bay.. she in front and her husband behind her in the other vehicle when she hit the moose.. standing in the road looking right at her... she took the legs outta it and it went like a moose torpedo through the windshield, passing by her and between the seats eventually coming to a rest after going out the rear windshield... The lady only suffered either a sprained or broken wrist, i cant remember which... Shes lucky I can only imagine what would have happened had it been a bull with racks...

Ive had plenty of close calls.... we used to drive through the nite to get to hunt camp..... Not anymore..... always a pack of nerves by arrival... lol

In a couple of days.. ill be leaving for a very long drive through the north... I thought I would share these pictures to remind everyone (not that we should need it) what the damage a moose - or deer can do if hit... Lets all have a safe drive...

Heres some of my favourites..

Oh ya... as soon as i get the good crapper and sauna built were definatly gonna have one!

LOL.. I just read it.. if all the guys in my picture were Asian and they all had tags... I can't see why anyone would say anything.... except I wonder what grain bullet size they were using... lol hicks... hell... I AM, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BUSHPIG AND PROUD OF IT!! umm and im gonna stick with my 180 silvertip... big/small enough to handle anything..... even niptippers.... (can I say that here??)
