NS whitetail Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Some of you may remember that I got picked in the moose lottery here in Nova Scotia back in 2004 and my brother was my companion hunter and he ended up shooting the moose. Well, you may also know that I got drawn again this year ( some people never get drawn once, so I'm pretty lucky ). On Wed morning Oct 9, it was finally my turn. My six day hunt started on Monday. Monday I spent learning the woods I was going to hunt. Tuesday we had a gale of wind, I spent all day in the woods with no luck, it was just to windy and nothing was moving. Daylight Wed morning came and it was cool and calm, a local guy in Cape Breton where I was hunting ( Cape Breton is the only place in Nova Scotia with a moose population big enough to hunt, there are 350 license drawn each year ) who was helping me out, told me " this morning is your morning" . We got up on the moutain at 6:30 am and right away got a response to our call. Two hours later at 8:30 am the bull had finally made its way to us within 100 yards. This was my first shot ever at a moose and after watching him for 20 minutes before he offered me a shot, I was trembling lol. However, I took a deep breath, relaxed and with one bullet, I dropped him right in his tracks with a spine shot below his hump. This was pretty much the highlight of my hunting carreer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
