I forgot to mention that I did get a fall turkey. It was a hen during the last week of our season. It was the first time that I tried my Remington 1100 Magnum on turkeys. Now I am asking myself why I haven’t been using that on turkeys before. It completely hammered that hen.

I walked in the road where that cutting is Wednesday morning. After around 2 miles in there a huge buck walked out. The problem was I use a 30-30 and he was 4 to 500 yards away. So I let him walk hoping to see him in the cutting. I never laid eyes on him again. I tried to track him but no way could I follow him threw that mess and be quiet. I did find an antler rub and signs of another buck moving threw the deeper part of the cutting. So I am planning on going back in there and finding a place to wait around. Hopefully 1 of them will show itself and give me a decent shot at him. Two more days and our rifle season ends. Then two weeks of muzzle loading season will start up..

I haven’t had any luck as of yet and I have next week to get it done with my muzzle loader and then the season is over with. I have had seen a lot of does and the buck has circled me a few times but no show. I had five moose go running out one day as I was walking in. But no buck as of yet. Yesterday I saw a fawn and a cow and spikehorn moose. People had been saying that the moose are not around anymore. I see them all the time out hunting though and a lot of others have as well. Far as bear hunting goes we have three methods and they never get the set quota. Here you can hunt over bait, use hounds, and trap. The bag limit is 2 bears. One by hunting and one by trapping. One of the problems is that a lot of local people don’t like bear meat so they don’t hunt them. I am included in the group that doesn’t hunt them. My wife wants me to but I don’t care to eat them..

Well I struck out on the deer hunting this year. I watched that big buck walk away because of the distance between us. I really thought that he would still be in the cutting when I walked up there but he had other plans. At least I saw him. I did see a lot of does and quite a few moose. I also dropped an arrow in the back field because I never had it mocked in when I pulled the bow back. I was going to take three days of muzzle loader season up the camp this week but lost the power steering some how on my 2017 Jeep and will be going in to get checked out tomorrow afternoon. I did see three nice long beards now that our turkey season is behind us. It still was nice to get out there and enjoying the great outdoors..
