May 19 & 20th with Friend Steve B.

A few May days in the woods

Off to my home town to do a little more this year. The woods are greening up fast but they are still huntable, but a lot of the places dont have much ground cover anyways.

Have you ever gone christmas shopping on Dec 24 and found the store has picked clean except a calender with kittens and a Chia pet? Thats how I've felt this year. There is nothing worse than
getting to your best spot feeling good and meet someone walking out with antlers or finding an imprint in the leafs were someone pulled one out. Oh well thats the game I guess. Thats how it was Tues.

The place I went too, I found a nice one last year that I found late in the season. There is so much moose sign in there, there is a couple of 4-5 year old clearcuts, tote roads, three huge beaver bogs (beaver equal moose); It looks like the Yukon. This this place is just awsome.

I found where at least two antlers were taken out. I found huge rubs and wallows. If i get
unit G in the Moose lottery, I will be in here ( if one of you get lucky and get G let me know this spot rocks!)

I found one really eaten up piece and a cool beaver skull . I went in two days in a row and I'm still convinced there are some antlers still in there so I will go back.

It is about 6000 acres, there has to be more in there somewhere, maybe we will find out next week.

A couple days later I headed back into "moose town" down near Keene and I pulled out this Bull Moose skull (which I'd like to try mount my friend Steve's matching set of antlers onto). Also almost ran headlong into a last year's moose calf.
