We packed up the quads and set out for about 10 km quad drive to set up camp,the trail was full of peat water runs and low areas, so a little bit of winching went on to get the trailers through.
Picture is quads loaded up with gear for trail in.
Once into hunting area, I try not to use the quad much, just to retrieve game and get it out to processor quick.

After you select your picture from your PC or phone, just to the right of the little window where the picture name appears, click ( Insert Attachment 1 ). That will make the picture full size in your post. For second picture click insert attachment 2, and etc for more pictures.

A quick trek out to change cloths and gather hunting gear and back to the stands.
Here we go!

Within several minutes (likely longer) I could hear another animal coming across the lake, after each 10 steps or so it shook like a dog....hum. This animal was coming our way and seemed to be moving more westerly than the first one or two.
A couple calls and it was coming (right down the run I was sitting at). As it stepped out, a branch that I forgot to trim, was in the way t. My partner called and he came a couple steps more. but I still could not shoot, due to the branch and my draw. My partner put down his call to ready himself for a shot, the moose heard him do that and moved forward to a perfect spot. As the moose step forward, now he was past me and I moved to the edge of the stand and drew. I released when he was about 25 yards, perfect shot, arrow fetch buried in his chest.
half stayed in the chest and half passed through and was broken off in the grass.
He went about 60 yards and stopped at the creek, coughed several times, rocked and then took off.
As we got down, it took sometime to find blood and as we started to trail him a rain cloud let go. As fast as you would see blood it was washed off the sedge leaves. As we proceeded around the creek bend, I lost the trail (as soon as I said I had lost the trail I looked down and there he lay)

Heck yeah, man! Congrats on the moose and your camp looks awesome! No moose around the cabin?
Cabin area is draw only, Populations are down in that part of the farm land, but this area is not that far.
