Kelly,
Too cool, congrats!
I loved every second of your story! Guides can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. Sounds like you got the former. So, may I ask, did having a guide in any way diminish your hunt? I have never been in agreemant with those who say using a guide is "cheating". What are your feelings on the matter after you have experience your first guided hunt? Would you use a guide again now that you are an experienced moose hunter (outside of Canada of course)?
