Well I spent the weekend trying for a cow moose with the bow in the Fairbanks area. Saturday night I had a spike/fork bull walk up to me and stand broadside at 15 yards and dare me to shot him. Well with my tag I could only shoot a cow. If I did not have the special tag......dead moose. So I let down and passed.
Then latter that night a bull informed me of his presence 400 yards away as dusk settled. No way to reach him.
Next morning I spotted a legal cow and stalked within 30 yards as she browsed just inside the brush line. After about 2 minutes and no ethical shot she laid down. I watcher her for an hour before my bladder informed me of an upcomming unpleasent event that I was going to endure if I did not change my present status. So I threw 2 quarters behind her and only manged to loose 50 cents and scaring her in the only direction that I did not have a shot.
Sunday night another bull and I managed to make it within 60 yards. He was in some heavy brush so I shook some brush and tried to grown like him. I only managed to scare him off. Different bull though.
Saw one calf yesterday and that was it. No meat but it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about moose. Could of had one though!
