My wife got a bull moose draw in F200 and I started to reminisce
It looks like my lady will get a chance to hunt bull moose again as she was drawn in F200. While we have never hunted that zone before, I hope that she does well.
I really like moose hunting and I got to thinking of all of the great times that we have had over the years looking for a moose.
I have actually shot most of my moose in F300 down here in Southern Alberta as it is closest to where I live.
I killed a bull one November day long ago and a bit later I ran into a colleague from the school where we both taught in Lethbridge. He had his 15 year old son along and the lad had shot a yearling cow moose and was having a very good day, indeed.
The old man was driving a Suburban and he asked me if I would mind taking his little moose back to Lethbridge with me rather than jamming the varmint into the back of the Suburban?
That was not a problem, of course. We yarded the beast into the back of the Dodge 4x4 and soon they were both side by side and I was heading off towards Cardston on that cold dreary evening.
It wasn't long before I noticed that my truck was weaving so, ever the educator, I told the young lad that the weight on the back was not distributed properly. The heavy moose had shifted too much weight to one side and that we must soon stop at Mountain View and turn both moose around somehow so that that weight was distributed evenly and that would solve our problem.
The young kid nodded as he was very polite. (later on he was educated at both Oxford and Yale with a doctorate of laws etc...) He was not to be educated to any great degree that evening.
I pulled over eventually at the service station in Mountain View and as I walked to the back of the truck to clamber aboard - I noticed that I had a flat tire.
