So then you put your binoculars on and look at the spot where the dark figure was. When you put your binoculars on the spot where the dark figure was it was gone. Then through your binoculars you see the head of something, something big, next thing you know bigfoot is running straight at you. Before you know it your dead! Slide 19 So you decide to leave it alone and you see absolutely nothing and dont hear anything and you were here for 45 minutes.

It was the last day and you only went hunting for about an hour because you had to go back home because your time was up. You sadly went home empty handed but it was a great experience. Slide 22 So you decide to sit and call and youve been there for about 45 minutes and just getting ready to leave when a cow walks out into the clearing and you are watching it hoping a bull will walk out. You are debating whether you should wait a little longer or go back to camp and decide where you will go after lunch.

You get down the bottom and so see something white and your thinking what in world is this thing. It hasnt spotted you yet so you decide stand still and watch to try and figure out what it is. So you sitting there for about 15 minutes just watching it move along and then you catch something it the corner of your eye. It was a small immature bull that walked up to the white thing. The white thing ended up being an albino moose. The albino moose just bolts as soon as the immature bull comes so you can either shoot the immature moose or just go rest at camp. ShootShoot ititRestRest at campatcamp Slide 24 So you decide to chase the moose down the mountain but the way the moose ran down was on the opposite side of the trail which made it pretty rough! So you didnt see the moose while you were running down the mountain because the bush was really thick until you are almost near the bottom and there was a straight stretch of grass. Then u just see the moose go into the bush at the other end of the straight stretch. You have a couple of choices you could sit and call and hope it comes back or walk back and take a rest at camp. SitSit and callandcallWalkWalk backback Slide 25 So you decide to walk to the top lake and hope that gives you a chance to shoot a moose. On your way to the lake you seen a cow in an opening. Once you seen that cow you decided right away you were going to sit and watch. You watched for about 15 minutes then it finally casually walked away feeding on the grass. After about 10 minutes you make it to the out skirts of the lake. Just inside the bush line you slipped and hit your head on a rock. He got a little cut on his head but it was pretty deep. Your said, it looks like you need stitches. so the first thing you did was run to the other side of the lake and go down the trail, hopped on the quad, rushed to camp, and hopped in the truck and went straight to the hospital. Slide 26 So you decide to shoot the small immature moose and its grazing away eating the grass. So you decide to watch the moose for a little while. After about a minute you put a bullet in the chamber. Then you pull the trigger, then you hear a click, you try again then click. After the second the mooses hears shoot up to try to hear what that click was. Then they slowly go down. When they go down you look to see what was wrong with your gun and safety was on. You take the safety then boom the moose runs into the bush.

You look back at your partner then BOOM you run into a tree. Your heads bleeding and you are very dizzy, your not able to walk so your partner helps you back to camp and rush's you to the hospital. The good news is your fine but the bad news is you wont be able to hunt for the rest of the season. The moose run right through your camp and there was a little bull with the cow you caught the picture of both the moose on your game camera.
