Title: Alberta Moose hunt
Post by: Mike Yancey on September 25, 2012, 07:23:00 PM
Just got back from an 8 day moose hunt in Alberta. Our group of 4 had no shots, weather was hot and moose not working good. I had one at 19 yards but not able to shoot before he winded me. We had a great time and I took a spruce hen with one of my sinew backed osage bow. It was a great camp with great people.

Great pics. The weather really turns off 1000 pounds of black ! Probelly lots of night movement. I have to wait until next year to get back in the bush.

That sounded like an awesome hunt in a great camp.  Nothing we can do about the weather though!  You make some beautiful equipment!     :thumbsup:

Same thing happenned to me in 2002 hunting at Fred Eichlers place in Alberta. Great place and great time but when the weather is 70 degrees ewveryday the moose were not moving. Beautiful country and amazing amount of game though.

Looks like a great camp.  Sounds like my moose hunt last year. Was still the best hunt of my life, even if I did not get a shot.  Thanks for sharing.  Those are some great looking bows and quivers.

Yey Mike,beautiful bow,Just got back from 2 weeks of Elk and Moose in Northern Alberta with my son,we had the same hunt,Way to warm and nothing moving.I did play phone tag with a big Bull Elk but he wouldn't budge.The ground was like walking on Corn Flakes.The dryest they've ever seen it in that counry.

No shots fired, but you were Moose Hunting!
Your bow pic on the ground blends in really well. Looks like an "oh, there it is" type of pic...
