Quiet Moments
Sunrise comes and Dean takes off to look for moose. The wind is increasing and the rain is light. There's a nip in the air.

Practice makes perfect.

Filed my last harvest report for 2021. Also applied for our PFDs.

Day 4

Today was busy. BOW hunter education course with Thing 1 & Mo. We’ve been studying and preparing for two weeks now. There’s a lot of info to take in.

Study manual.

Thankfully we all passed the written and field test. Woo hoo.

My qualifying target. Shot pattern being the deciding factor.

These classes aren’t offered down here on the Kenai very often, usually in Anchorage. So not having to travel in winter is great!

The classes are hosted at Snowshoe Gun Club. They have a very nice facility. We had great instructors too.

It was nice to get a good refresher course, it’s been a minute since I took a hunter safety course. This one was more in depth than I remember. Experiencing the course with my girl was nice too. She did quite well and is a pretty dang good shot. Don’t mess with her.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to take the class, thanks to Mo for suggesting it. And grateful for the shared experience. Happy that I remembered far more than I forgot from all those years ago. Hunting and firearm safety is a lot like riding a bicycle, but it’s good having a refresher!

(BOW stands for Becoming an Outdoor Woman, it’s not an archery course)

Here Moosies Moosie

Last few days of moose season. Tried out my moose calling skills, not so sure about this!

But the scenery sure is lovely with these fall colors.

Moosies

I love moose.

They are so goofy looking.

Such majestic large creatures.

They taste great too!

In trying to perfect my moose calling skills for hunting season, I’ve been watching YouTube how to videos. Then I stumbled across this, The Best Moose Documentary Ever!

It really is!

It’s about a Russian moose farm and is quite thorough in moose life cycles, habits, behavior and full of tons of cute little baby moosies.

Watch it some evening!
