RE: Official Team "The Shafts" (11) Thread
Hi Guy's !
I hope everything went along great while I was away ,I see that WV had one issue he had to deal with ,It's too bad we couldn't keep the logo with our names on it but OH well.
Anyway's I don't have any good photo's or stories to tell you's ,the weather and blackflies and mosquito's [ too warm for the bull's to go into rut]were absolutely horrid while we were there .We did have the bull's answering to the calls, but they just wouldn't commit to coming out into the open for us to get a shot .I do feel we made a couple serious mistakes that caused us not to be bringing a moose home on a couple of occasion's but that's how it goes. Woulda, shoulda and coulda, if you know what I mean. Our group leader felt that we had certain area's covered appropriately when we knew there was a bull near ,but he ended up crossing the road being undetected when one of our group was out wandering.
The highlight for me was getting a shot at a Timber Wolf ,I guessed her for being 30yrds and coming in on me with her head low to the ground I released an arrow just to watch it hit the ground between her front leg's ,it didn't scare her too bad so she ran back to about 50yrds and turned broadside to me ,I knocked again but just as I was about to release she turned so that I couldn't take another shot at her .When I went to where she was standing when i shot at her I paced it off at 36 yrds DAMMMMMMM ,the only day I don't take my range finder with me .
Anyway's I guess there's alway's next year.
Our deer season opened yesterday but since I have family commitment's with the kid's in hockey this weekend ,I'll not be able to get out till this week Wed or Thurs I hope .
It's good to be home and I'm ready to turn all my attention now to this season's deer hunt ,Let's go get em guy's and show these guy's that we're no underdog's .Good luck everyone and
I'll be back on later today and this evening .
Sumhunter ! Kwinquaga lake was the hot spot for the moose ,we hunted it hard for the last week lot's of sign and lot's of close call's there .
