Moose Camp Update: Day 5 Part 2
Our plan was good and it almost worked! If the wind had co-operated, this would have been a different kind of post.
The pond, in the background of the photo in my last post, extends to the left and right. Dad was punching through some thick evergreens (close to the pond) a good distance left of where the photo was taken.
He was grunting and imitating the sound of antlers by using a stick on surrounding tree branches. As he approached the section of the pond I was watching, he heard a moose begin to walk towards him in the tangle of evergreens. It got so close that he ducked in behind a tree because he thought they might ‘collide’. The trees were so thick he could not see the oncoming moose despite being so close. That was when the moose got wind of him and reversed his direction. As quickly as it started, it was over.
This might be last post as I am scheduled to leave the camp mid-afternoon. I will be back in a week for deer camp.
That’s when the fun really starts!
Ok. You can have credit for that.
Ah- that must have been the feeling I felt – it was close…you gotta give me credit for that much.
