Boys first moose
Not a long story.
After three days we decided to just sit and wait mid afternoon along a creek. About 1.5 hours of sitting and a cow wandered out about 100 yards from us. Very proud how he took a few extra seconds to make sure of his shot. One right through the top of the heart. She went 20 yards and piled up. I was even happier that I could take the quad and tub trailer right to her.

Congrats to you both! You’ll never forget this!
I remember my first moose with my dad. Very similar except we used a green true-value wheel barrow to get the quarter 2 miles to the truck!
