Last week I did a recount about a button buck I shot a a new stand I put up which I refer to as the Riverside stand (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=078952). The stand is almost hanging me over a river and i access it by canoe. I made a statement or two that I thought the stand would be a special place. Yesterday I went in and checked the Cuddeback. The camera said it had four images stored so i retrieved the flash card. Sign at the stand was not very good so I was curious as to what I would see. One of the pics I knew was of me retrieving two judos I shot that last time I hunted there. There was also a pic of the back of a turkey....and then there was this guy. Too bad it was raining so hard on Sat. when the pics were taken as they are a bit fuzzy but they are good enough.

This is about 1/4 mile or so from where I shot a cow moose two seasons ago. I do have a moose tag for this year but it is for a cow and in a management unit about 125 miles away. If I had been hunting that afternoon I would have been able to see him coming across the marsh that is out in front of the stand. I am sure that this stand is going to be one of my favorites....even if I never kill anything from it again.
You're lucky to hunt moose. They're big animals & especially worthy trophies. Thanks for the pix.
straitera: I wish I could hunt this one. I know the area really well but the State makes the rules, not me. But, just the same, even if I can't shoot him his presence in the area will always have me on full alert for a sighting. In fact, as I paddled out last night I could hear a cow bellowing off in the distance. çanoeing down a river in the dark of night is very cool experience and I get to do it whenever I want to.
Nice!! I can't even imagine having a moose show up on trail cam. Let us know if you see him.
Well thats kinda neat. To bad you can't hunt that fella....
Nice pics Bill.I love living in the north country where we get to see stuff like that and possibly get to hunt them. :thumbsup:
Bill, that is nice. Pretty neat to have them so close to where you live. Jawge
