Hi Guys, I'm in Deer Lake now and just relaxing having a cold one ..anyways the weather this week kind of sucked, pretty much rain and snow all week but things all worked out well. We were a group of 4 hunters, 2 of us from Canada, and 2 just outside of Pittsburg USA.

We went 3 for 4 this week, 1 bull and 3 cows, Terry from Pittsburg wounded a nice bull on Tuesday morning at 400 yds, and never had another decent chance, we had 2 moose on the pole on Monday already. Wednesday morning we hunted, and nothing, so we decided to do a drive (push) for the afternoon for Terry and I, he had a bull tag only, and I had an either sex tag, well the push started at about 3pm with the guides doing the push and Terry and I above the bog on the alert for any moose, we weren't there very long when my cow came running out with 2 twin calf at about 150 yds and stopped just beside some heavy cover, she was big just, as were the 2 calfs, she turned broadside and I launched the 180gr swift scirocco right into the boiler room, she went maybe 25 yds into the woods and expired, the bullet took out both lungs with a nice size exit hole.

Terry hunted today, but never got a second crack at a Bull, I'll post some pics when I get back home, but for now, I need to grab a bite to eat, I'm starving. :shock:
My Cow dressed out with 4 quarters ready to butcher at 447 pounds, and got 280 pounds of clean deboned and vacuum packed meat which is sitting in the motel kitchen walk in cooler as I type 8)

Man, these people are so friendly!..I'm booked again for 2017, I'll post some pics when I get back home and un packed, thanks,
Lou

Hi guys, sorry for the not so good pics, but here we go,




Never met the meat pole, to late when we got her out, went straight to town to the butcher Thursday morning,


Feels good to be back home again :grin:

Sorry for any bad pics.Lou

Lou that is a heck of a nice cow and the meat should supply you with a winter's worth of eating. Are you going to make up some sausage once you finish those renovations :wink:!
Thank you for the story & photographs.

Blessings,
Dan

 

[Vince]

That's a dandy cow mate.
Congrats again. After seeing my first moose all I can say is, they sure are big. Really gives meaning to, "Now the work begins;" when you get one on the ground.
