^ Great stuff guys!
Often times it is just great to be out there, in spite of the hunt going wrong
I went for another walk yesterday. I tried calling for moose, but had no response. I did see a moose though, but he was just across the river and seemed to be completely not interested in my calls. Since moose was not responding, I tried calling for elk, but only had a coyote howl back at me. He was closing in and then just got quite. I also saw a bear suntanning right in the middle of the field. I spotted him with binoculars quite a distance away and kept checking as I was closing in. The guy/gal was just lying there picking at wheat. It was quite enjoyable to watch him. When I got close though, it was gone. It was still fun to see and this was the first time I have seen a bear doing that. It was there for at least half an hour, just lying there. Cool stuff.
A few photos with some background:
Can you see the moon in the last photo?
It is the best time of the year be out there, IMO.
Hopefully, I will get to do some hunting in the next couple of weeks.
Hope your season is going great as well!
