2010 Moose Hunt

Here are a few pictures from my first moose hunt. I took Dominik with me so it was his first hunt as well.

We took off from Chena Lakes with my buddy Keith and headed up the Chena to a nice spot for setting up camp.
We stayed out for 3 days, but unfortunately we didn't see any moose. We did see 5 beavers, a martin , a bald eagle, a golden eagle, and many other interior creatures. The leaves were also turning so it was pretty. The weather was about 10 degrees above normal during the day at about 70, but the mornings were COOL. Haha.

During off times, Dominik had a chance to do some fishing a caught a couple nice Graylings. That was a thrill for him. While we were hunting, Dominik fell into a routine of falling asleep for the entire time, so I didn't have any help spotting!

Each new trip leads to learning, and this trip was no exception. I learned that you eat well in moose camp. There is no need to skimp because you don't need to worry about the weight like Sheep hunting. I was still in the sheep hunting mode so I brought clif bars and mountain house meals. Keith showed up with bacon and eggs,m pancakes, hotdogs, etc. Haha. I learned my lesson.

Dominik had a great time, but he was ready to come home when it was over. He was TIRED. All those early morning and evening hunts got to him. We'll do it again.
