Today was our last day of moose hunting and the last day of the season. Legal shooting time was about 6:04 AM. At 6:08 AM we came upon a pod of three moose. The first one I could make out in the poor light seemed to have about a 34” spread but he quickly evaporated into the spruces, then the cow went down and across to the right but a spike appeared and at fifty yards when he turned left and went up into the slash and poplar shoots Dorothy’s son Roger planted a nice heart shot and followed up with two shoulder shots with his .30-06 Ruger M77. Down he went 2.7 miles from camp and 70 yards from the road.
