Guided Monster Moose 2

After caping, quartering and packing Luis's huge Booner out (which took most of the night) it was Bruce's turn. The next day went by without much happening, we seen a few cows and small bulls but it was fairly uneventful.
Bruce wanted to hunt hard after seeing his good friend take such a great trophy so hunt hard is what we did. We stayed out all day on both days 3 and 4 walking, calling, and setting up hoping to cross paths with another brute.
We thought day 3 was uneventful but day 4 was worse. Even though we hunted really hard and covered a ton of country, we never even so much as heard a response for most of the day. After not getting a response and now running out of day light I decided we should start heading back to the quad, we would slowly hunt our way back as not much was happening where we were set up. I have to admit with only about 30 minutes of legal shooting time left we had both written day 4 off and were already thinking about where to go for day 5 but those thoughts were put to an abrupt end.
We were walking on an old pipeline when we came around the corner and about 100 yards ahead of us there was 3 moose. A cow on the north edge of the line and dead center was another cow with a bull mounted on her. This was perfect as there was no way the bull was going to notice us, he had more important things on his mind. We quickly closed the distance and got a good rest for Bruce, now at 75 yards I didn't even have to tell Bruce it was a shooter, the bull was huge. We patiently waited until the giant got down off his girl and offered a perfect broadside shot well clear of the cow. Bruce made the easy shot perfectly and we watched the big bull stagger slightly and fall. I almost couldn't believe I was walking up to another Boone and Crockett Bull in less than a week. Bruce was ecstatic and Luis was even more ecstatic for his good friend when we returned to camp late that night.



I was very proud to have guided for both of these awesome bulls, both Luis and Bruce were great clients and deserved their trophies in every way. Luis's scored a gross of 205 inches and Bruce's grossed 195 and change. Luis's bull won largest guided rifle moose in Alberta this season.

I still had another 2 hunters to guide the next week so check out this blog next week to see how we made out on that hunt.
