Quest for a Sask moose

[Sask hunter]

My fiancée drew a moose tag out our back door. This will be here first ever chance at a bull moose but she has shot a couple cows before. We won’t start scouting till mid to late September as moose move so much during the rut. Her season runs October 1-14 and November 1-14. Soon I will start getting permission for her but that will be fairly easy overall. Anyways we bought a house May 1 and it has a walk in cooler. I have been busy with Reno’s lately and will be most of the summer. But anyways once in awhile I take an evening off from work to do some fun stuff. My project tonight was building shelving in the walk in cooler. This old shelving was in there already for storing potatoes so I raised them up. Need to add in some more eye bolts meat hooks and 2x4 chunks as needed. Next step is to raise the the shelving on the other side and fill in the middle. I think I should be able to fit 2 or 2.5 worth of moose quarters in there. Once that’s done next step is getting my skinning pole setup between Reno’s. Stay tuned to see the cooler and skinning setup progresses and some moose scouting pictures this fall. Hopefully can find one of these bulls back from last year

Sask hunter : “Walk in cooler? Yea we will take it. “

Sask hunter’s fiancé: “but, don’t you think we would look at the rest of the house?”

I always look forward to your adventures. Good luck! Hopefully that moose in the picture stays around and continues to grow! He looks like he’s going to be a brute!

@Sask hunter I enjoy following along on your hunts! Thanks for sharing and taking us with you.

Given how good you make Sask gas station moose tags look I can't even imagine how good a draw moose tag would be. Very excited to follow along on this one!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, when I grow up I want to be like @Sask hunter

Oh yeah can’t wait for this! Good luck Mrs Sasky!!! Woohoo!

finished the cooler today. 12 hanging spots and since I break our animals into 6ths so they are little more manageable by myself I could fit two elk or moose in there. If push came to shove I think I could fill it a bit more especially in the middle to fit another half In.

Once again thanks for making the rest of our lives feel inadequate.

Did take a break from arguing about CWD on here today to install a chain. Will tighten it up a bit more when I get a chain hoist. Look like we will get about 12-12.5’ of lifting in this spot

@Nick87 Totally a true statement

Dry aged moose in your future!!

Something moose productive lately. Wish I had a bit more height but will be around 11’ from the ground to the bottom of the gambrel. Not sure if the gambrel will be wide enough. They are called a moose/elk one but it’s just a heavy duty deer version. I might have to try and make a wider gambrel for moose and elk

Made bullets and got some more permission today. 6 weeks till season

 

[Sask hunter]

We are about 10 days out from season so I went for a drive this morning. Rut hasn’t quite started yet but should go any day now. Saw 15 moose this morning. 14 were cows and calves and one small bull

I bet your fiancée is getting excited ! Are you hunting just weekends or is she able to have vacation time ?

A bit of both. She was able to take off the 2nd and 3rd as well. Unfortunately we have to miss the first which is opening day

 

[Sask hunter]

Scouted the same are today. Saw another 15 or 16 moose. Bulls are slowly starting to move in. Seen a spike a two year old and a small 40-42” bull today

 

[SaskHunter]

Git 'em!

 

[Sask hunter]

Getting closer to start of our hunt. Bulls have really been cruising the last couple days. I imagine everything will be cowed up October 2 when we start.
