well I still can't figure out how to get pictures on here, but my 13yr old daughter
got her moose! It was a long 3 days we hunted in the Bighorns we only saw 4 moose.
1 on the way up the mountain,and a cow with two bulls on the 3rd day.
She had a cow tag, so we got sneaked up on them and waited for her shot.
The bulls were in rut and grunting and sparring putting on a good show.
My daughter was so nervous I could feel her heartbeating in her shoulder.
Can't blame her too much 3 1000lb+ animals milling around within 40yds of us.
When she finally got a clear shot she made it count at 30yds. She was shooting
my Horton crossbow (don't need to hear negative opinions on that, she's 13yrs old
100Lbs and can't draw a legal compound. The crossbow let's her bowhunt)
But she made a good shot, the cow ran about 30yds (toward the truck thank God!!)
and was standing behind a small spruce, she stood there for 10min. but refused to fall
over! So we got up to about 20yds and my daughter threaded an arrow thru a hole in the
limbs about the size of a baseball (I was impressed) and put her down in two more steps.
We had to pack her about 1/2 mile to the truck (thank you game cart inventor) only took
us 3 hrs to quarter her up and haul her out, I didn't think that was to bad for a 13yr old
girl and a fat mans first try at a moose. All in all it was a great hunt,and a good chance
to spend time with my daughter, who doesn't have a lot to say to dad since boys and friends
are so important these days. Take a kid hunting!!!!
Maybe I figured it out
