Following morning hiked the trail beyond where we are seeing these bulls. Weather is grey, windy, cold. Hearing motor sounds, found some big rigs coming in. The next couple of days we had wheelers and big rigs show up above camp.
A dozen other hunters in the area.
Rained the rest of that day, and woke early to more of the same. Soon a bull is spotted with a cow. He's messing with her, but she's dancing around him. Impertech rain gear on and I'm off, slipping and sliding down the muddy trail. I could see them on the opposite hillside at 700 yards, before I...

At the trailhead, each hunter ensured, tight groups at 100 yds.

Moose 24. Leaves are turning yellow and red in the yard! This year, just the boys again.
Inspecting the Moose buggy found engine mounts attempting to rip out.
These rigs really flex a lot! Fixed that.
A bit of tuning and adjustment so these rigs run great. I want to hunt & not fix broke stuff...
