I got back from my 12th solo moose hunt in Alaska. My 19-day solo hunt started out very warm. A little rain fell the first week, but the season ended with 9 days without rain. Moose did not move well, but I still manage to interact with 5 different bulls. I snuck up to 12 yards from a legal bull in his bed, which I passed in hopes of taking a bigger one. I called in a couple small bulls. A giant bull with wide antlers came into my calling but locked up at 60 yards. He was not too aggressive and took too long coming in. I lost shooting light. I saw 4 grizzly bears and ended up not bringing home any meat. Please enjoy some photos. Mike

Great pics as always Mike, many thanks for sharing. It's the hunt not the kill that drives us  :archer2:

Thank you for sharing these!  I always enjoy the stories of your hunts.  19 days alone in the Alaskan wilderness interacting with bull moose is impressive!  I think I would need one of those volleyballs with the face painted on it like Tom Hanks had in Cast Away to keep me company.  A top-notch adventure!
