Work, work and a little more work

I have been so busy the last week preparing to take off for a day on a moose hunt that I haven't had the time to put up a new post. I spent most of my time cutting wood but I also had to make sure the animal pens were good and clean, clean the oil and wood stoves, melt enough snow for a couple days, make sure the snowmachine was a 100% and clean the cabin. Unlike my previous 2 hunts this one was a success and I hope it will be a great story for you. To preface the story, 5 of us took off on snowmachines down the Chatanika River, 30 miles to the Minto Flats area, then split up and I paired up with my friend Ralf. From there we made our way up Goldstream creek, which feeds into the Chatanika, peeking over the banks wherever we saw fresh moose tracks. Until we were able to drive our machines out of the creek bed onto one of the many lakes of the flats. There Ralf and I spotted several moose and he was able to harvest a beautiful 800 pound cow. It was a long day, but a great day! That story coming up next.
