Unfortunately I didn't get one today. But one from our club was lucky and got one young bull. Fortunately we still have licenses left. Five adults and ten calfs. Even as I didn't get my first moose it was a great day. And tomorrow we'll go hunting again. Hopefully one will run to me as we hunt them with driven hunt method.
Oh, BTW, do you want see pictures from my hunting days or are they boring as f**k??

There was barley before the threshing (right word?) That field is a known place for moose to cross when they are driven with the dog/and/or men. In a driven hunts it's based on educated guesses where the moose will do it's "fly by" when driven. That was my standing point and GPS showed that moose had been three times on the other side's forest almost to be seen. But just almost. Shooting distance would have been around 120-170 yards if it had shown itself. Perhaps tomorrow in some other standing point

Thanks for sharing.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.

Grandpa just planted it for feed. We would grind a barley, wheat, milo (sorghum), alfalfa mix in the hammer mill. We always made a couple hundred square bales of barley straw as well. Running the hammer mill was a no fun job. Shovel the grain into the truck, hook the tractor up, shovel the grain into the mill. Unhook and clean up. Being 10 years old and shoveling 2 tons (1 ton twice) of grain in a day was almost like real work. At least that was what everyone told me.

About 10 years ago a good friend of mine killed a cow moose, and gave us some of the meat. It was hands down the best game meat I have ever eaten.

Second that.I was fortunate enough to share in that meal and I told Jerry at the time that I'd trade every deer I'd ever killed for a quarter of a moose. Hands down, best game meat I've ever had.
