Rundown of the Fall 2012 season thus far

Moose Scouting trip in August on the Lolo Motorway out of Powell Junction Idaho
Taking the kids for a hunting trip
After a lot of missed opportunities I was happy to get this "11" Pointer
The decoy we call the hooker helped keep my cover.
Shed-mini cabin on Brownlee reservoir by Mountain man Lodge

Some curious moose on a scouting trip up North
This little bull wanted to go for a ride
Morning view over Northern Idaho, the smoke is from fires
A very close encounter with a momma bear and two cubs (who ran up the tree), I am about 10-15 yards away


Out with my hunting partner
The kids wanted a ride before I took the boat out hunting over Memorial day weekend
A cow kept me from being 15 yards from this bull, instead I was 100 yards and watched him walk by.
I was right on top of this bull several different days.

I got 20 yards from this bull, but a bush sat between us before his cows busted me.

I was almost home free for a clear shot and a twig snapped and he was gone.
This boy was napping, the cows busted me, I chose an exit route a cow that was with him took, If he went with her it was a 50 yard shot.
I should have perused this big boy more. I thought a bigger bull was with him, but he was the big boy. Check out those fronts, I gave him the name en do thinking he might fall over front wards with that front heavy weight.


My home a way from home
As usual, lots of bears




This big bull got spooked by a rare hunter before I could get close enough.

I watched this and an equal size bull chase each other around for a long time. I never could get close enough. He had a lot of mass and length.


a broken up 5x6 with who had a group of cows.

The buck I shot,4x4. my good neighbor Kevin Alleneder was a lot of help.


The best Prize I could ever hope for. Porter William Lindsey arrived 10-25-12

now its time to go do some Moose hunting.
