what I like about this hunt appose to other Alaska hunts I have saw is this one was all done on foot no airplanes and just all technique and skill !!!!!
This is the first decent moose I have ever taken, and likely the largest I will ever take. An incredibly lucky and rewarding trip.

Weekend was good for some chilly time afield with the dogs again. Grouse hunting in the morning and a pheasant hunt in the afternoon. Felsig, the 6 1/2 month old pup with the blue collar, is finding, pointing, backing and retrieving birds both with his older siblings and by himself. All with only some good basic obedience training. Natural instinct is strong in the youngster! Sure is fun to watch him develop and learn from the older dogs.

I was wondering the same thing. Heavy canvas type? Good to keep insects away.
Wheres the blood? Mine would be heavy stained.
Nice Moose!

ND Pheasants probably down again. Saw some of this years hatch but baseball size hail hit many locations. Birds spotty and my guess is 70% down from banner years. Corn and Sunflower harvest has just started so that is where many birds were found. Ample moisture grew the crops high so corn was difficult to shoot over. Scratched out some decent shoots thanks to my dog Toby. The Dakotas need some average years back to back to get numbers up. Perfect weather with light wind and mild temps helped the old guy stay comfortable and optimistic. Placing him for shots not easy.

I always enjoy your photos Eric. Both those ole dogs are lucky to have you around. Most of us are jealous that they both still want to play with you.

Nice as always Eric.
Good to see your dad was able to participate and enjoy. Those days are precious.
We’re seeing similar results. I flew to Minot last weekend and birds were definitely down. Real dry. And this week we’re in North Central SD. A buddy and I have done well but our group is WAY down on bird success.
Still good oof to get out and enjoy.
Was good to see see you at Jaransons Fall Color Tour.

I grew up in Hoyt Lakes MN. left before the wolves were an issue though.
Figured global warming would have taken some of the bite out of long stints in the stand, guess not..
Congratulations on the nice buck!

Shot two average bucks this year. 214.6 lbs. The first one on the 5th and this one on the 14th. Can't seem to be able to attach a picture of the other one, but it was slightly smaller than this one. Used my Remington Model Seven (18.5" barrel) in 7mm-08. Shot was 224 yards. Federal Fusion 120gr.Bucks are just now coming into the hard rut. Saw more scrapes and rubs in the past week after the hard cold snap. Hunted pretty hard, as I spent sunup to sundown out in the woods since the 3rd of Nov.

Caught this Porter from page 1 of this hunting thread at Hood Strip this summer. Might have been it's first flight on amhibs according to a local airport maint. guy standing next to me. Nice bird.
