First video of 2022 season

Black ducks make for some rich soup! Good fronts on that bull!

Why didnt you just jump the log with the boat Muskrat?

I'm assuming that was last spring?? I can't imagine that high water at this time of year.

Water is super high here this fall where I am. I think it has rained here and upriver like 30+ days out of the last 40. There are no bars on the river and not far from the top of the cutbank in some places. I think/hope this is the peak and it starts going down.

To bfisch: Man you are lucky to have fall high water. Must be could go anywhere you want with boat. No worries about hitting dead heads. I hit one Saturday wrecked my prop.

Yes waggeier that was last spring . We had a week long flood but the houses were OK just ditches and some low roads . But the sewage dump road flooded so about 1/2 the people got evacuated.

Boco that log is for building. Not sure what yet maybe a shower house.

Just followed it it got where it was going.

RE Bfisch: yup black ducks are the best.

Ok then.. To each there own. I don't judge .

Taman222 heh???

Did anyone like my bird chasing a bug picture. Trail camera tipped up wards only took sky pictures.

Thanks Muskrat ! I liked the ride !

Wife got the moose this year.

Good work Margo. Hard to believe that water is that deep right along the shore. Full freezer...

Yeah that is a tough little lake is middle has only a narrow navigable channel The rest is under water sandbar most of the time.

as an entomologist I guess I have to go to the eye doctors if I missed that sceen.
Keep up the good work.
went back guess I fast forwarded that part, looks like a horned lark chasing a Sulfur butterfly, looks like the others were water beetles

What a perfect place to get a moose. Why can't they all be like that?

Thanks Nortof50 that's so cool to know what it is Im going to find my bird book and look up horned lark. If I have a bug boo Ill also look up sulfur butterfly. I use to always look stuff up. not sure why I quite. But that is whats so great about T-man you get inspiration when you are not expecting too.

Waggler: yes nice and clean dry did not even need to lay down a tarp. The water was deep enough to load directly into the boat also.

Great way to hunt. No crippling or meat loss. Did it back in the day with the caribou. Just wait at the crossing and run the boat up behind them. One shot with .22 LR back of head between the ears. Very humane way to meat hunt. Smaller than moose so easy to pull up on shore after. Cheaper too. Center fire bullets running around $50-$60 box Can. now. Would not shoot moose with rim fire.

Great videos and congrats on the moose!

That pic of the bird going after the bug was neat to see.

Is it always windy there?

It's windy a lot of the time here. Especially closer to the coast.

Crosspatch; We did not expect to see the moose no calling or nothing it just showed up.

Ya u could waste a lot of time waiting for a moose to cross some place. They not regular like the deer (caribou). Don't waste the chance when you have it though. Good stuff 411.

I don't think a lot of people realize how big and in segregated the north is. We have one highway several hundred miles south of where I got that moose and there are no feces or Feild to funnel animals in to a certain area.
