First evening in a blind, no Elk or Mule deer but did see a cow Moose with a calf, very cool, them things a big. Took this picture at about 35 yards. Later that evening I saw some ears in the tall grass in the park, I decided to make a stalk as it was getting close to dark, I thought it was Mule deer's ears I was seeing, made a good stalk but turns out it was the Moose Calf's ears I seen, needless to say mama was close and she didn't like me being between her and her calf at all, guess I was lucky all she did was huff and run into the timber with the calf.
The next evening Beau walked up 20 yards on bull Mosses and he also wasn't happy with him being so close, he huffed/pawed the ground and racked his antlers on the aspens all around, Beau did get a picture but vacated the area in a really fast walk. We seen a few mule deer and several Elk in that area but mostly Moose so we decided to go to base camp and hunt Muskrat lake area which was only about 2 1/2 miles from base camp so we could hike in in the morning, had to get up early to get there by daylight, took about an hour and a half to hike in. The weather had turned cold/wet and snowy so hunting out of base camp helped us keep our self and stuff drier.
I will post some more picture tomorrow, now off the celebrate my Birth day/9/17/1952/ 68 years young today about noon Mama told me.
