moose camp - story and pics pg 4

[wingnut]

We've been working out for months.  Three miles with pack and boots every morning.  Gear is finally in place and ready to pack.  Bows and arrows about tuned.  
This year is special in that Jason is going again and bringing his brother in law, Tyler.  Jason has been on wilderness hunts his whole life but this is Tyler's first.  I get texts and calls everyday with questions and his excitement is very contagious.  Going to be fun for sure.

Jason, Tyler and I fly out of DFW on the 9th of Sept. and into camp on the 14th.  John had a schedule conflict so he will be coming into camp on the 17th.  Let's say he will owe us for setting camp, cutting wood, packing water etc. but I know he'd rather be with us those first few days.  We are going to try our darnedest to have a moose down before he arrives.

What bow set up will you be using?

[Friend]

Will be rooting for you, John and Tyler.

Enjoy a most memorable and safe hunt.

[BDann]

Good luck!  Where are y'all hunting?

[wingnut]

"What bow set up will you be using?"
John is shooting the Elite Origin with Prototype Dryad limbs.

Jason is shooting a titan 19" with RCTX proto limbs.

Tyler is a wheel bow guy.

I'm not hunting this year because I got my bull last year.  So I'm carrying the camera and stuff.

"Where are y'all hunting?"

Alaska!!

That sounds like a great time. Good luck!!

Best of luck Mike! My buddy and I will be taking off for Alberta on Oct 1 for a 6 day moose hunt with Bowhunting Safari Outfitters. Can't wait! Weather permitting, there should be plenty of activity during the rut this year!

With less then 4 weeks to go, Jason and I are starting to get the meals prepared and dehydrated for our moose hunt in Alaska.
Yesterday we prepared Jambalaya and I just put it in the dehydrator. It will be ready to vacuum pack in the morning.

[wingnut]

Got 4 pounds of moose burger with onions, peppers, garlic and seasoning going now. Will finish it today and stick it in the frig.
Will dehydrate tomorrow. This will be used in combo with partial cook meals with pasta or rice and stuff. four pounds equals two more meals.

[The Night Stalker]

We are packed and ready with a moose, caribou and wolf tags. It will be a new experience hunting different animals. It has been a learning curve for the first time.

30 days to moose camp....

AWWWWEEE SHAD UP !!!!!!!!

[wingnut]

Well the Jambalaya finished up last night so I put the cooked burger in the dehydrator.  It will complete in a couple of hours this morning.

I'll cook some dirty rice with onions, peppers and moose burger today and get it in the process.

We've got 14 meals to prepare and pack but have plenty of time.

Also will be doing our own energy bars again this year.  Might get a batch of maple-bacon bars done today also after work.

Jason and I really enjoy doing the prep for these hunts and I know our hunting party appreciates the effort.

Best of luck, Mike. It sounds like a great hunt and I'm sure you guys will have a blast.

I leave for Newfoundland on September 22 and have been packing gear already this week.
