Mako: I' m going on my first moose hunt this year in N. Saskatchewan in what the outfitter has described as the " heat of the rut" I' m so excited I can' t hardly stand it!. I live near Sacramento CA where the temperature has been in triple digits for the past 3 weeks and I' m wearing my wool around the house to make sure it fits proper. I' m a rifle elk hunter so I get to hear a lot of animals talkin' but don' t really get to call them in hot! I' m primed for great experience!!
The only saving grace is that I have an early September mule deer hunt here in CA to tide me over till the real action starts!!!

Good luck on your hunt! Thank heavens the meat ban has lifted and we can go hunt without that worry!
