Default My first moosehunt as a guide

This was my first year guiding, I had a good year with fishing, mostly lessons on flyfishing. This was my clients first time seeing a moose. It weighed 800lbs dressed and a spread of 46 inches. He shot it on opening day at 8:30 am. I hope they all go this good.

Not much to tell, other than he told me later he was convinced that I was trying to scare everything off within a mile. I did some cow calling followed by some bull grunts and a little tree raking, broke some big branches and he came in within 30 yards. The wind shifted while I was spraying some moose bomb without fully suppressing the top and then realized I was drowning him in Moose piss, which we both got a good laugh about that night over a few beers. I had my hillbilly malitia come in and we had to drag it in a sled about a half mile because we were on some conservation land. Only took 2 hours to get him out. Cant beat a good moose crew!!!!

I'm sure they won't, but this was a heck of a way to start! Congrats to you and your client!

What did he shoot it with?

30-06 one shot a little high in the lungs. It did a 180 and dropped, I had him shoot it again when we got up to it. Didnt want to see it take a 20 yard walk into the thick stuff just to make my life harder.
