Sorry I didn't finish last night.  Fell asleep on the couch watching a Fred Bear video.  Back to the story.
We scouted more the next day and found another area with lots of rubs bordered by a large swale area.


I found this old remnant while exploring the area.


After finishing our river scout we headed out to meet the man who agreed to rent me his camp in case rains set in.  It was not far from our campsite so we drove the gate and walked to the camp.  Forgot to check the map before we left so we missed our road and hiked to the trail leading to Grand Falls.  It was worth the hike.



Along the way we kept our shooting skills sharp with a little stump shooting.



Let me mention here that my sub permitee is a compound shooter I have been trying to coax over to the trad world for a couple of years.  This past spring I was able to broker a sale of a Shrew off a member here on TG.  It was an easy sale as I guaranted to buy it off him if he did not like it, a win win in my opinion     .  He started shooting it and I required he use it on this hunt. He practiced all summer and became good with it.


After introductions and instructions we headed back to fix dinner and take some river water baths to prepare for opening day.  Did I mention it was about 85 degrees?

Never been Moose hunting in Maine but your river photos bring back memories of hooking up with my Grandfather and Uncle, heading out of Ashland on the Reality Rd. for week long fishing trips. Plenty of native trout and good camping in the "Big Woods".

Looking forward to more of the story...Oh and by the way...the dog in the canoe...excellent photo!

Loving it. Sure does make me miss the Northeast though seeing all those lake and foliage shots.

Man, i could actually hit that stump  

[Jack Denbow]

That is a beautiful area. I hunted bear in that area nearly forty years ago. I can't wait to see how this story plays out.
